expecting that it would contain a check
I0F the amount. 1t was sufficiently pa
thetic to bring tears to a pair of glass
eyes to see the poor critters standing
in the cold and shivering while waiting
for the money. Then they besieged the
agent and drove him frantic asking
questions about MIR. Washington. and
why he didn't pay his debts. In the
course of time year rolled round and
still no check doomed up on the hori-
ION.
Finally Coloragv. the sachem of the
tribe, went in person to the bewildered
agent and demanded an explanation.
He was told that the bill authorizing
the payment of the claim had to pass
congress before it could be paid; that
congress was composed of a lot of
sleepy men. who would doze off while
the debate was going on, and when it
came to q count they would vote
against il because they knew nothing

the southern cities have been visited

fevers. etc. without a murmur, but we
hate rank show worse than the devil

sad lot this fall to have had a series
of visitatiOns from the worst aggrega-
ton of so-called actors that were ever
let loose by a dramatic school. If muir
dering play were included in the
penal code, every blessed one of them
would have been hanged for murder in
the first degree long before they got
away from the city. The productions
were bum to begin with. and the Fines

BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Have Fighting Blood Aroused BY Claim
Against City.

The regular weekly meeting of the
aldermen was held, Saturday evening
Seven were present. The matter for
discussion was the suit brought against
the city by Harvey Chism and John
Church, which has been assigned for
trial on Friday of the present term of
court. The plaintiffs claim that the
damage was caused by raising the
grade Of Bangor street IS inches when
the improvements on the street were
made. They claim that this has made
it very difficult to enter their car
riage repository on the south side and
has increased the expenses Of running
their business. They have had to raise
their buildings up on a level with the
street. For this they claim $3.50
damage.
The aldermen discussed the matter
thoroughly and decided almost unani-
mously that it was best for the CITY to
fight the claim. City Solicitor Leigh
explained the matter thoroughly and
gave as his opinion that the city had
the law on its side and could put IN a
strong case. He admitted that it was
very difficult to foresee what a jury
would do, however, the almost univer.
sal tendency being in such cases for
them TO decide against the municipality

The mayor was of the opinion that
there was no justice in having the city

A RESTAURANT INCIDENT.
A Piece OF Bread and Butter Brought Back
Old Times.

The force Of childhood recollections ana
the truth of the quotation, "A touch Of
nature makes the whole world kin, were
shown graphically by little incident in
restaurant the other day. \ quiet
looking middle aged man of prosperous
appearance was eating his dinner when
another well-dressed man took a seat OF
posite him. After giving his order in a
bluff, genial manner, the newcomer took
a sip of water and faced around. Sud
denly a queer expression came over his
face as he watched attentively the ac.
tons OF his "a Wis. and apparent,
without realizing what he was doing h.
burted out in loud tone: "Well, well.
we'll"
Every one at the table. including tn
quiet looking man, started. and the 9th
ers. observing the direction of the speak
ers gaze, turned their eyes also upon him
of the quiet appearance. to see what had
caused the exclamation.
The man who had come in first was III
the act of spreading sugar over a slice 81
buttered bread. and when he realized tina;
all eyes were turned upon him h
blushed like one detected in heinous
crime and almost fell off his chair Ii
took him a minute or two to recover, ana
then he said to the table in general
Il used to get bread and butter an
Sugar for being good when | was chill,
and eating it is a habit which | like T.
