City Government Meeting.

AT the regular monthly meeting of
the city government, last evening,
nothing but routine business was tran
sactad.
Alderman Plasted presented roll of
bills No. and an order was passed
authorizing the mayor to draw a war
rant for the payment of the same.
The total amount was $9e5.42, the ex-
penditure for highway depart
ment being $452.66 and that for the
poor and insane department $512.76.
An order was passed authorizing the
city treasurer to bid in all property
which may be sold at auction by the
collector of taxes upon which the taxes
of 1897 have not been paid before Dec.
!, $685.
Orders were passed authorizing the
city treasurer to ratify the sale and
give seal and execute deed of the so
called Lincoln street school house lot
to +. S. Smith.
A communication from Fred =.
Dngley was referred to the committee
on counts and claims. 1t stated that
when J. b. Dingley was mayor of the
city of Gardiner a sewer was being
built from Water street to Dresden
avenue and that the mayor advanced
to one John Milton, laborer, $2S.
This amount was deducted from Mil
tons salary by the paymaster, e. E.
Lewis, instead of paying the sum ad-
vanced to Milton to Mayor Dingley
returned it to the city treasurer, thus
leaving the city a debtor to the mayor
for the sum of $2S. 1t was asked that
the matter be looked up and the bill
paid.
The petition of Charles A. Donderoe
for a common victualer's license was
laid on the table.
An order was sent up from the city
counsel asking the committee who
purchased the street roller in the early
spring to report. 1t was passed.

Gladstone as Z Boy.

John Gladstone, the father Of the
great statesman OF Great Britain, liked
that his children should exercise their
Judgment by stating the why and
wherefore OF every opinion they
offered, and d college friend Of Will
liams. who visited him In the summer
of 1929, furnishes amusing pictures o.
the family customs in the house, where
the children and their parents argued
upon everything. They would debate
as to whether the trout should be
boiled of broiled, and whether 1t was
likely to be fine or wet the next day.
1t was always perfectly good-humored.
but curious to stranger because OF
the care which all the disputants took
to advance no propositions. even to the
prospects Of rain, rashly.
One day Thomas Gladstone knocked
down wasp with his handkerchief.
and was about to crush 1t on the table,
when the father started the question AS
to whether he had the right to kill the
insect; and this point was discussed
with as much seriousness as If hui
man life was at stake. When at last
It was adjudged that death was de-
served because it was a trespasser IN
the drawing room, common enemy
and a danger there, 1t was found that
the insect had crawled from under the
handkerchief and was flying away
with staggering sort of buzz, as If tc
mock them all.
On another occasion William Glad
stone and his sister Mary disputed as
TO where certain picture ought to be
hung An old Scotch servant came IL
with the ladder, and stood irresolu-e
while the argument progressed: but as
Miss Mary would not yield, William
CALAMITY ceased from speech, though
unconvinced, of course. The servant
then hung up the picture where the
young lady ordered: but when he had
done this, he crossed the room anc
hammered a nail into the opposite
wall He was asked why he did this.
''Aweel, miss. that'll do to hang the
picture on when yen have come round
to Master Willie's opeenion.''
The family generally did come round
to Williams opinion, for the resource;
of his tongue-fencing We're wonderful
and his father, who admired a clever
feint as much as a straight thrust
never failed to encourage him by say
ing. Hear. hear. Well said' Wei

Nothing apparently so delights w. f.
Studley Co. so much as to be able to
buy up some desirable stock of dry goods
at an exceedingly low figure and then
give their customers the benefit of the
low prices. In purchasing this Hallowell

not giving the public low prices. for they
