Into trouble with the city authorities
through a dispute regarding the bound
airy line of his property at the corner Of
Baker and McColloeh streets, East

up in the city police court, Mr.. Cots
being arrested and fined. Later he ap-
pealed to the circuit court and the de-
cIsion OF the lower court was set aside,
the claims of Colts being upheld.
Mr.. Colts, since that time, has enter
taIned a deep.seated resentment for
what he terms his unjustIhed arrest
by the city officials. and this resentment
found expression some time ago in his
vigorous though unsuccessful meas
ureS In endeaVOrlng to prevent the city
from making Hn appropriation for the
purchase OF cabin service for the

Queer Find in a Pool Table.

The proprietor of a Ridge avenue pool
room has 4 pool table which he purchas-
ed at auction about eight years ago, and
which has for sometime been in need OF
repairs. The other day he determined 10
have the table taken apart, and when the
workmen lfted the pieces Of marble OF
the top Il strange sight met their gaze,
the space between the top and bottom OF
the table being almost full Of old-style
costumes. The proprietor was amazed
on learning Of the queer discovery, and
after taking the clothing out he found
an old wig, which was wrapped up in a
theatrical poster. This announced that

Around the edges Of the poster are numer

VIII, th Groom Was Nervous.

A good story is told of one of the nu-
merous bridegrooms of yesterday, whose
nervousness in the fact Of the approach
ing event was so great that just before
the ceremony he inadvertently donned
two boiled shirts. When he came TO
pack his travelling bag he discovered the
loss of a shirt. and an anxious search
was instituted for the missing garment.
The most thorough inspection Of the
apartment was made, but it was futile,
and the bridegroOm-eiect east reprOachful
glances at his best man, who had assisted
in the arrangements. Finally 1t occurred
to the perspiring bridegroom that he was
intentionally hot. and. in moment OF
rtc.ual Reaction he argued that perhaps
it was due to too much underclothing. In
vestigation proved the soundness OF his
theory, and quick shit OF attire was
made The waiting company wondered
at the flush i'm the bridegroom cheeks as
he entered the parlors, but II was all ex-
planned later.-Auburn Advertiser.

Fire Engine Signals.

The experimental use OF signals by the
Berlin Fire Department for its apparatus
while on the way toa fire has been
found to work so well that the system
has now been definitely accepted. 1t con-
sists in the use of an apparatus looking
very much like a small semaphore, now in
use on the railroads. The appliance is
rugged up on the drivers seat. and is Wis
ible for quite a distance. When the vehi-
Gle is to go straight out the arm of the
semaphore is placed straight up; if 10
go to the right or left into another street,
the arm of the semaphore is l1clined in
that direction. As the signals are always
set for the next corner. drivers of other
vehicles know at once what they have
TO do in order to get out of the road OF
the fire engine or other apparatus.-Phil-
adelphia Record.
