CITY Topics: Plumbers.
THE PLUMBERS HAVE TROU-
BLES or THEIR OWN.

This morning Mayor Callaghan had
the honor of entertaining a delegation
of plumbers. Mr.. Bowman addressed
his honor in a set speech setting forth
the woes of that much abused fra
ternity that reap harvests when Jack
Frost pays us visit. The attempt to
put the mayor on the witness stand
was failure, he would not answer
questions, but he listened with pa
thence to the, poet of the guild. Then
he stated in plain and unmistakable
terms that lie considered his duty,
that is to have tie work for the city
at the least possible cost; to protect
the public from eXtortion and to pun
ish as an act of vandalism any at
tempt TO break into the sewers such
as recently discovered. The mayor
also stated that it was his opinion
that the plumber or firm guilty of
such vandalism should be debarred
from all work connected with the
sewers. The result of the conference
was that the plumbers pledged them
selves to uphold the mayor in his EFF
forts to secure compliance with the
city ordinance. The discovery of the
break in the sewers has been a for
tunate thing as it has aroused the
public to a sense of danger. Mayor
Callaghan will stop all this business
of connecting with the sewers unless
done in compliance with the city or
dinance.

eating or drink, are requited in the first
instance by acute Indigestion, which, if

nightly repose, usually associated with
dyspepsia, are soon relieved by the Bit

and an invigorant of sterling value. Bill

be satisfied without discomfort through

LAWYER AND CLIENT.
KIeptomania Was a Good Defense, but
She Did Not Favor 1t.

KIeptomania Was Good Defense, but
She Did Not Favor 1t.
The lawyer knitted his brows 1t was
impossible for him to knit anything else
He never had learned how.
"This is serious case" he said.
The woman shrugged her shoulders,
She was fashionable woman, and fash
ionable women always shrug their Shout
ders, especially in stories. Perhaps it is
supposed to be distingue.
'Poohl 1t is nothing" she said. 1T

fore.'
"You forget" persisted the lawyer with
the frankness of his profession, "that it is
penitentiary offense."
She laughed musical little laugh, and
again gave her shoulders an expressive
shrdg. The shoulders of many society
women have SO much expression, you
know, that they have acquired possibly
by appearing in public to such an extent.
These particular shoulders seemed to
say, "You never saw anything like this in
the penitentiary, and their owner supple
mented this by saying, "Others have
escaped"
True" replied the lawyer, unraveling
the brows he had knitted but moment
before in order to see il he hadn't dropped
stitch, and then doing the work over
again with more care, "but you must re-
member that they have defense to make.
They had alibis or pleas of mot guilty, or
other things with which to go to trial.

thought of pleading unconscious assimil-
alton at first as being something very
new and fetching, but 1 understand it
won't fit case of this sort"
The lawyer didn't SEQ how it possibly
could.
"Then," she said with decision, "it is a
mere matter of deciding between klepto
mania and somnambulisn; but confess
it is little difficult to choose. Now, if
only knew
"Yes?"
eff I only knew which was the most
fashionable at this time, I'd be ready for
trial, wouldn't I?''
Then, after thoughtful pause, she
added:
'Kleptomania is getting to be disgust
ingly common, don't you think? Perhaps
we'd better try somnambulism. Chi

The Old Cider Barrel.

How clear to my Visions an old cider barrel
AS fond recollection presents it to view
The place where it rested down in the dark
cellar,
Is as fresh in my mind as it ever was too.
The old whitewashed wall and the bins that
stood by it,
The apples, potatoes and things that We're
Up there in the cool and the damp bottomed
cellar,
Where the old cider barrel stood up OH one
end
The old cider barrel, the hard cider barrel,
Tho iron hooped barrel that stood up on end.
Once armed with u gimlet, went to the bar.
Dear father and mother had gone for the
day;
! bored small hole, and put straw
through 1t
And for half Of an hour kept sucking away.
found it the source Of IN exquisite pleasure
Till things in my vision seemed softly to
blend,
And l couldn't have told whether I or the
barrel
Was lying or still standing UP on one end
Tho old cider barrel, the hard cider barrel,
The iron hoped barrel that stood up on end.
Somehow got out Of the old whitewashed
cellar
And whooped and hurrahed and made merry
awhile;
They say that my shouting aroused all the
neighbors
Who lived in circle of less than mile.
At last my fond parents came home from
their visit,
And then to my case did dear father attend!
Oh, gollyl feel that old strap at this minute
And sworo of on barrels that stood up on
end
The old cider BARREL the hard cider barrel
I've sworn off on barrels that stand up on
end.
