Tie HOG LAW.
It Causes Policeman to Fall Victim

"Whir-r.r-r-r!' rang the telephone

Spouse to the "Hello!" of the policeman,

Clutching his mace and making sure
that his revolver was in position, the
officer rushed from the room and was
soon upon the scene.
What's the matter down here?" he
exclaimed hurriedly, rushing into the
store and confronting the merchant
who did not look as though anything
unusual had happened.
Here" answered the proprietor, car.
rying him to the pavement and point
ing to pig strolling eisurably up the
middle of the street; 'Do you see that
Better go and arrest him."
And it dawned upon the mind of the
officer that Columbia had a hog law.

SOCIAL DUTY.

The doorbell rings,
The portal swings,
My lady comes a-calling,
In velvet dressed,
Her veil close pressed;
The formal talks appalling.
The style, the day,
The { hurch, the play
Whatever line she fancies;
Ten minutes pass;
She says, ALAS,
Time flies!" and off she dances.
No real word said
From heart or head.
No thought to live in beauty;
Her list she checks;
What names the next?
She's doing social duty.

TAX ASSESSORS.
Comptroller King Rules That They
Can Succeed Themselves.

Can Succeed Themselves.
There has been doubt in the minds
of many as to whether tax-assesors can
be elected to the Office for two times in
succession. In order to settle this ques-
ton, Mr.. Sam r. Watkins, of Ashwood,
wrote to Comptroller King, and received
the following answer, which is self-ex-
planatory:
"MR. SAM r WATKINS, ESQ.,,

DEAR SIR;-Replying to yours of the

eligible for reelection. In the asses s.

Skirt Notes.

A variety of handsome skirts are to be
fashionable this spring, but there are
three styles which will in all probability
be the most prominent. They are single
box-pleat, the double box pleat, and the
tucked skirt.
These skirts will be, unfortunately
rather more expensive than the plain
skirts used last year, as they require more
myterial and trimmings. The new
tucked skirt, in order to be successful
must be very carefully made and hangs
best over drop skirt of silk Instead
of being gored, this skirt is now tucked
to the figure, to about mid skirt, when
all the fulness falls in rich folds tc
the feet.
Stitching, braidlng, fancy silk gimps
lace and taffeta appliques and above all
pleated silk ruffles are to be the popular
trimmings of the new spring skirts
Some dressmakers are making skirts
finely gathered all round at the waist
with the exception of the front gore
which is in the form of a tablier. -Ex.

Arden Msssiter" has already receiy-
ed some most eulogistic reviews, and
the critic in Punch has described II as
a work of genius. II is short story
about the Italy of today. but its inter

ancient Italian family, whose memories
and traditions carry US back into Tar

Last Sunday. at one Of the most

speaking of the great sincerity Of

and policy have less weight here than
there in keeping the churches filled.

persons were reputed to visit the lakes

point of view of one who lists the
Sunday concert on the side OF evil. It
may seem to be a sweeping statement,
but il Is the sober conviction of
thoughtful people that there is today in
this city no more powerful social in
fiuence for good than the Sunday and
evening concerts at the lake. In every
large city In this country and in Eu-
rope those who seek the social uplifting
not merely Of the masses" but Of all
classes, upper and lower-those who

results by building parks and furnish

most of the selections rendered are of
a high order of composition, and pre-
sent the best thoughts of the great

All this would be well enough, says

Yet this day OF freedom is the day Of
greatest temptation to the thousands

human emotion. 1t stills the passions,
