into soberness by the discovery.

feel as if wanted another dram. I'm

"Let ME go with you," Floyd said,
and the two men went down the street
together, to Mary's home. They
parted at'the gate.

he thanked God for it.
The next morning he heard that
DR.. Reed was dead.
A year later he came to Brantford
again. And he came because letter

clumsy, awkward fashion, a letter
that made it unnecessary for her to

straight to the heart Of the matter. 81

happiness that seemed opening out
before them.-New York Ledger.

December First.

Plans for military occupation of
Cuba are being perfected rapidly
and the war department officials
have advanced to the point where
they are able to set definite date
for the beginning of the assumption
of control over the island Accord
ing to the present intention, the van
guard of the army of occupation
will leave the United States on No
vember 3. Thereafter, until the oc-
cupation is completed, troops will be
landed in Cuba as rapidly as posi-
bic. While December 1st is the
date set for the formal surrender of
authority by the Spaniards, nearly
all the cities and towns will have
been garrisoned by American sol
diers before that time. Havana will
not be entered until the date that
will mark the end of Spanish sover-
eighty in the island The first ex-
petition Of the army of occupation
will be composed of Major General
Fitzhugh Lees Seventh army corps.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
For Girls will be Completed In Few
Weeks.

The building at Salem for the new
West Virginia Industrial home for
girls is almost finished and it is
stated that the structure will be
ready to turn over to the board of
managers in a few weeks. The build
ing will cost about $4,000, but it is
SO arranged that additions may be
made to it at any time the manage
ment may think necessary. The
next session of the legislature will
in all probability be asked to make
further appropriations for the new
home in which many of the most
prominent women of the State have
a deep interest, they being largely
instrumental in securing its estab-
lishment. Dr. Harriet B. Jones, of
Wheeling, is president of the board
which is to be in control of the new
edifice. AS yet, no arrangements
for the opening have been completed.

An Amazing MYSTERY.

AS testimony piles up before the
war investigators, it becomes more
and more mysterious why there was
SO much sickness and death, with
the camps fairly revealing in sup
plies and all the comforts of home,
and under administrative ability
watch fairly draws tears of admira-
ton from impartial observers. In
face of these facts as thus revealed,
the amount of disease and the large
death rate can be put down only to
pure perversity on the part of the
soldiers themselves.

A special dispatch from Webster
City, Iowa, says that watch was
recently found in the stomach OF
cow at that place. The time piece
had been swallowed seven years be-
fore, and the action of the lungs in
breathing had kept the stem winder
wound constantly, so that the watch
was still running and had lost but
four minutes We have later infor-
nation that it wasn't cow at all,

HALLOWEEN OBSERVED.

Many pranks are played over town and
in the c0untry-The University gets
good notice.
The boys and girls of town raised
considerable cain last night. Many
of the young people masquefaded and
made calls all over town. Others who
were more on mischief bent tore things
to pieces in the good old way. The
University suffered the worst of any
place over town. Here things were
turned inside out. The depredators
took advantage OF the fact that the
town police did not come up that far.
In town there was not much done
as the police force was extra large and
watched things too closely but there
was much more deviltry going on than
there has been for several years as the
custom Of tearing up every thing NOV
able has not been followed for several
years. Taking it on the whole how
ever the damage done was not great
and every one enjoyed the fun.

Anyone who has ever tasted concen-

upin Special Meeting City Engi-
neer Should Avoid all Such Holes In
the Future What will be done now
is Question Pavement May all
Have to Be Taken Up-Worse Tangle
Than Ever in Our Paying Middle.
The council met yesterday after
noon and went over the streets with
the consulting engineer A. l.. White
of Wheeling who as told in this pa
per yesterday had come here TO In
spect the paving which had been done
and TO pass upon it pending the ac-
ton OF the city fathers in accepting
or rejecting 1t.
The pavement was tested in vari-
Gus places and Mr.. White heard the
statements OF the city engineer Mr..
John Samsel and of the council. He
also talked to the contractor After
he was done with his examination the
council met with the contractor and
Mr. White.
The report Of the consulting engi-
neer was that the pavement from
Moreland's corner TO the head OF Main
street was not worth fifty percent OF
the contract price agreed upon they
should demand that 1t be torn up and
replaced right and in accordance with
the specifications. In no case had
they been observed. The report Of
the engineer was very severe one ON
the contractor and the council are
confirmed in their suspicious that the
town was being held up every day be-
fore their eyes.
What the contractor will do Ii the
question. He has not been paid any
thing since he left Moreland's corner
and the council seem TO have the up
per hand Of him. They can hold back
the money until the street is fixed
right. He cannot afford TO take up
the brick and replace them and to do
so now would be TO have the street
impossible all winter.
The finding Of the expert has caused
great deal Of talk over town and
all are loud in their purpose TO stand
by the council their efforts TO have
the thing done right. This paper feels
that its contention that the paving
was not being done right has been
sustained and it hopes that hereafter
the city engineer will put his foot
down on all funny business. III the
contractor goes on after being warned
repeatedly as he has In the past there
Is certainly some way TO stop him.
That way should be applied and the
results which now confront us will be
avoided.
The outcome of the matter will be
awaited with great deal Of interest.
