The mayor reported that the First Nat
ional Bank Building Co. wished to make
the city proposal regarding the laying
OF a concrete sidewalk along the State
street side OF its building. He ex-
pected the company would have repre-
sentative at the meeting, but none APP
peared.
DIR. J. F. Manning also wanted con-
crete walk on the Franklin street side of
his block
The board discussed concrete walks
informally for some time. Cross walks
on Main street from in front OF the bank
building, and another farther up Main
street were mentioned, also concrete
walk around the State street corner.
P.J. Nelligan, OF Ware, Mass, who laid
the concrete walks on Main street, is now
doing work at Bar Harbor. He was in
EllsWor h last week. and said that on ac-
count OF having his apparatus so near at
hand, he could do the work cheaper than
il he had TO come from Massachusetts.
The whole matter was finally referred to
the mayor and the committee on streets.
Aid. Morang, for the committee on
streets, reported that Street Commissioner
Smith had not entirely recovered from
the effects OF the fall he received some
weeks ago, and the worry and response
btlity OF looking after the streets were
wearing upon him. His physician recon-
mended complete rest, and thought he
ynnId entirely recover Mr.. Saith had
offered to resign, or do anything the
board thought best.
None of the board wished Mr.. Smith to
resign. and ne was voted vacation OF
four weeks The committee on streets
will exercise a general supervision over
me streets during Mr.. Smiths vacation,
The request OF property owner for
privilege OF connecting with the Main
street sewer brought up general discus
sion OF the fertile subject OF sewers and
drains, but resulted IN no action Inc
meeting then adjourned.

soon RIGHTLY that" says John He took
out the purse and covered the floor
with gold and filled .pp room full of
it.. He then ordered out his 100000
troopers out of the horn and set them
TO work building a grand castle, and
before the next night he had the castle
up and all its walls lined with silver
and its floors of beaten goold, and he
had goold walk right from the door
of it TO Lord Flynn's castle. And when
Lord Flynn and his wife come they
were all in wondherment and didn't
know what to make of it all. And John
Conn and Molly Welcomed them, and
they dressed up in the most gorjus
dresses, and Molly with two diamonds
hanging from her ears the size of turf.
Then there was no end of sarvints in
waiting, and the napkin was spread
and John wished for the grandest sup
per that ever was. and Immediately the
grandest that ever was seen afOre or
since was before them. And when Lord
Flynn got home he sent a-messenger
to the king TO tell him of the wondher-
ful napkin John Conn had and that il
would be of great service to the king
in times of war. and aXed the king to
SEND MS SoJerS FOR II. So the king sent
thirty sejers to demand the napkin of
John; but John turned out sixty sojers
out of his horn. who fell on the kings
soJers and killed them all but one, who
went home and told the king. Then the
king sent 10000 troopers; but John
turned $4,000 troopers out of he horn
and killed all the kings men to one
again. Then the king sent 100000 troop
ers; and John now, turned out of the
horn his 100000 troopers-light dhra-
gOOns, heavy dragons, russians, gren-
adiers and kilties, and they fell on the
kings men. and not one of them at all
at all, escaped this time Then the king
come to parley with John. and he made
PAIGE with him. and said it was Lord
Flynn who had told him about the
napkin, and put up to taking it from
John. So John once again turned out
his troopers-light dhragoons, heavy
dhragoons, russians grehadfers anx
kilties-and ordhered them up to Lord
Flynn's TO blow up his castle and not
lay trace of him or his on the earth.
And this they did. and Lord Flynn and
his wife were killed. and John Conn

them fell TO and made a hearty meal.
Then all at once they heard music and
the tramping of feet coming tow'st
them. Wen have to hide" says John;
and Il think it's best" says Hugh. SO
both of them took and hid themselves
under a sofa where they couldn't be
seen. Hugh wasn't right under the sofa
when he was fast asleep by reason of
the big dinner he ate. But John kept
wide awake, and peeping out through q
little hole in the sofa cloth could see all
a company of 300 fairies. little men and
women, all grandly dressed in every
color of silks and satinS and ribbons,
with forty little pipers playing before
them, and they dancing along behind
with their hands caught. When they
come in the forty pipers played three
times round the dinner table till the
rest of the company bowed to one an
other and got satiated, and then the

a good dinner the decanthers of all
sorts of whiskies and wines and rare
drinks was nut on the table. and then
the little man that sat at the head give
it out that every one present would
have to sing a song, crack a joke or tell
a good story. And round the table at
once went the singing and the joking
and the telling of the stories Says one
Of the FAIRIES, TN tell good story"
and ne begun to tell how the kings
daughter was lying very i'll, and all the
great doctors of the country was at

she was pining away day afther day
under the FAIRIES spells. and there was
nothing could save her except three
bottles of water from the well without,
which had the virtue of curing all dis
eases. John COnn's heart jumped when
he heard this, and he waited patiently
till, when day was going to break the
pipers got up and took their pipes, and
the company got up. and the pipers
played before them out of the room,
and the fairies danced out after Then
John wakened up Hugh. and taking
him with him went out and
filed the bottles with water out
of the well. never letting on to
Hugh what he meant by it. and
both of them started away for the
kings palace. When they Were come
there they knocked. and the servants
asked them what they wanted, and
John said that he had come to try and
cure the kings daughter. The servants

In the morning John got up and spread

But Lord Flynn heard that John Conn

John, and said he was glad to see him
