his city license as a plumber and
was granted permission to work.
The Iron Mountain had a civil
engineer, who made a talk asking
the city council to rescind their
order in regard to compelling the
Iron Mountain to grade Front
street and gravel the same. He
made a good talk, the aldermen re.
garded it as a SANDY" he was try
ing to run over them and they voted
that the Iron Mountain must com
ply.
On motion the mayor was in
structed to call a mass meeting of
the citizens to determine whether
or not we should throw the entire
city into a taxing dictrict for the
purpose of grading and graveling
the city, the meeting to take place
tomorrow at 200 o'clock p. m.
1t was said in the meeting that a
petition was out, and was signed
by men representing $3.50, 600 worth
of taxable property, asking the
council to throw into an imrove-
ment district the following terri
tory: from Front to Eighth taking
IN the territory between Hickory
street and State Line avenue.
1t was also learned that the citi-
zens of College Hill had raised 500
and would RAISE more to be expend-
ed in graveling the street from the
coal schute to Purfoy's store and
place the street in condition that
it will not wash They would ask
the city council to help them.
The meeting adjourned.

Rustic Ignorance.

Those who know the French peas
antry will not be particularly surprised
at the news that the gatewoman at the
railway crossing near Rennes had
never heard of Dreyfus. And, OF
course. the story can be matched in
this country. At the time of the Duke
of Wellington's death parson saun-
tered into his garden after breakfast,
newspaper in hand, mentioned the
news to his elderly gardener, who re-
piled. "Lor, sur and 90 was 'e?"
Again, the story runs that Mr.. Kip
ling, while on visit to Mr.. Hardy,
went to see house which the author
of 'I.lfe's Little Ironies" thought would
suit him, and that when Mr.. Kipling
moved out Of earshot Mr. Hardy OBJ
served to the occupant, Il may men,
ton to you that this gentleman is no
other than Mr.. Rudyard Kipling." rs
that so?" she replied. 81 never heard
the name before" Presently Mr.. Kip

the lady, and remarked. Possibly

about not very far from an old hickory,

You can make these two great trees

Would you suspect that one of these

Is unwise to match the strength Of the
teeth against that OF the nut. and
stones cannot always readily be found.
What then? I win tell you. Cut a
limb from the hemlock tree, which be-
sides its strength also has great fiexi-
