The Age of an Oyster.-He who
wishes may find out the exact age of an
oyster. though he has not the tclltale
evidence in teeth. The lines III the
groove of the hinge of the shell ell the
whole story. each line representing a
year. An oyster is of age ut four years;
that is. he is old enough to vote. take
care of "A family and go to market. Go
ing To market is disastcrous under
taking. for "A four-year- old oyster is par
ticularly palatable. BY this it must not
be supposed that after an oyster has
passed the four layer period and has
five, six or even ten wrinkles on his
shell he is Il ba TX number. Indeed, there
are records of oysters being eaten just
after celebrating their Both birthday,
and in most cases they formed deli
cious meal. Thirty is the unusual age
for an oyster to attain, because few are
given an opportunity to live 50 long. If
left to enjoy life in his own way. it is
quite probable that the oyster would
become an octogenarian or even centen-
arian.-FjshiD.J Gd,ette.

Explanations of the Award of
City Hall Contract.
Early Completion of the Build
ing Principal Consideration.
CONTRACTORS SIDE.
Mr.. L. ID. EVersOIe Makes g
Strong Protest
Says He Was Ready to Comply
With Conditions.

The award of the city hall contract Is
still the theme of much talk. The fact
that the contract was not awarded to
the lowest bidders is responsible for the
comment which is heard. There is talk
of an injunction, but at one o'clock this
afternoon nothing had been done IN
that direction and 1t is to be hoped tnaI
the building may be erected without
the work being hampered by litigation.
The members of the council who voted
to award the contract to Black, Laird
& Blackman claim that the offer of the
firm to have the work completed a
month earlier than the other bidders
was responsible for the award.
Mayor Drew said today in regard to
the awarding of the contract for the
construction of the auditorium and city
hall that the award was undoubtedly
let to the lowest bidder. There are
some things besides mere figures which
are to be taken into consideration, said
he
I understand the position of the
council to be like this: In fully discuss
ing the matter it was decided that the
building could be completed by Septem-
Der 1st; that that was reasonable
time in which to complete it. Mr. Morse,
the lowest bidder on the face OF the
bids, was called in and directly asked
the question: viii you enter into a
contract to complete this auditorium
and city hall by September 1st under a
penalty of $500 a day for any time you
require thereafter Mr.. Morse replied
that he would not; that he could not
agree to complete it before November
1st, but was willing to pay penalty of
S25 90 a day after that time if he were
given a bonus of the same amount for
any time before that date he might
complete the building.
Mr.. EversOle, whose bid was next
lowest on the face of the bids, was ask
ed the same question about finishing
the auditorium and city hall by Sep
tember 1st and said he could not agree
to complete it in that time, but would
want until about November 1st
Mr. Laird, of the firm of Black, Laird
& Blackman, the next lowest bidder,
was asked if he could enter into con-
tract to complete the building by Sep
tember 1st. He said he would. The
contract was awarded to this firm. The
city believes that the use of the audi
torium and city hall during the months
| of September and October is worth far
more to the city than the difference of
81 500 in the bids. This is especially
true because of the fall festival and a
large number of state lodge and other
meetings that wish to come to Topeka
in the fall, but which would be over by
November 1St.
''I consider that the council has done
the right thing for the best interests
of the city and has let the contract to
the lowest responsible bidder"

POLICE SURPRISE.
Jailer Hopkins the Victim of a Pleas
ant Ruse.


Jailer Hopkins received orders from
Chief Ramsey to report at the police
station Christmas night at o'clock to
do extra duty.
The jailer had been on duty all day
and the holiday had been rather dull
for him. He did not relish the idea of
getting off duty at O'Clock, spending
an hour for supper and hurrying back
to work perhaps all night at extra
work. But a policeman must be like a
soldier and he obeyed orders. His fam
lily did not seem to be disappointed at
his having to work extra His feelings
were hurt. He was on the verge of
dependency. He returned to the sta
ton.
What's the matter, you look down in
the mouth?" said one of the officers.
"Oh everything is going wrong" he
answered.
He waited a half hour. The chief did
not come, neither did his orders He
waited an hour and was just complain
ing about his i'll luck when the tele-
phone rung. It was a message for him.
One of his family was very sick. He
was wanted at home at once.
You tell the chief I'm gone" yelled
Hopkins as he ran out of the door. He
ran all the way home, opened the front
door rushed in. He was out of breath
and afraid that a doctors aid would be
too late.
Just in time" said Chief Ramsey
who was surrounded by Mrs Ramsey,
Sergt. and Mrs. Donovan, Officer and
Mrs. Pavey and officer Bundy. It was
49 years old. He would not tell which.
A leather covered easy chair, a, pin, a
turkey dinner and several other pres
entS were waiting for him.
