On the Corner


club was held on the steps OF the
Spaulding High school building, and
the Inspector was not far away. The
club had only Il few members present,
as most Of the members were either at
tending the trial at the city court room,
or listening to the eloquence at the Bar
racks of tie Salvation Army. The OPP
cning business of the meeting, was the
reading of the following remonstrance
against the cutting down of the trees in
the city park. As near as | could gather
the article contained these words:
"IIALTWOODMAN.
The On the Corner Club is mad be-
cause some men with more muscle than
brains have seen fit TO cut down the
many shade trees in the city park This
is not called for. The park could have
been improved, and been made a place
of beauty without the cutting down of
the shade trees which nature has placed
in that cool park. We protest against
it. We as taxpayers of this city own
some of that wood, and we had rather
let it stay there and furnish shade for
our people than let sdAe man use it for
kindling wood. We shall proceed to
bring suit against the parties who had
to do With it. Now Woodnan there are
a few trees not yet cut down. If you
wish to save yourself untold roasting
and perhaps expense you had better let
the trees alone. Profit by the iniunc-
tons which have so freely been served
among our people during the past few
months, and decide that you will heed
the ancient caution .Woodman spare
that tree. Now then, look out for the
clyb is after the woodmen with blood in
the eye, and large sized boots
There was some discussion before the
article was passed but it was finally
adopted by rising vote. Then the
Boss appointed ~ famous kicker from
across the "Dead Line, we'll known
tax dodger to present the same to the
men engaged in removing the trees.
Now the Inspector is surprised that such
document should ever be passed by
people who have any brains. The men
engaged in cutting out those trees are
doing the right thing The Womcn's
restoration have been given permission
TO improve that park. They will GER
talnly do it, if allowed to continna &c
they have commenced. There wero foo
many trees in the park. and when the
maj work Is ended, even those GOOD
for nothing loafcrs will be satisfied
AS some Of the best kickers of ,be

'here was little else transacted \ weak
protest was made because the city conn
Gil mao gwen the men who have Ihe con-
tract so long time to complete the new
ely building and some of the club
went so tar as TO say that it would Ina
TWO years before the city had its hui,d
ing completed. The Inspector does No,
consider that the kick is worth cons;J
