At this the poets formed a rust.
"Henceforth." they announced firm
ly. ''the price of all poetry will be $40
per agate line"
Only the rich could afford poetry
now
AS for the poor, all the poetry was
taken out of their lives and much Of
the doggercl.
The Agrarlans were furious, and
there was more talk than ever of an

How to De Happy.

But there are others who will move
out Of large residences into smaller
through the reversal Of fortune The
property must be sold or the bailiff will
sell it, or the income is less and you
cannot pay the house rent. First Of
all, 81 b persons should understand
that our happiness is not dependent on
the size Of the house we live in. | have
known people enjoy a small heaven in
two rooms and others suffer a pande-
mOnium in 20. There is as much hap
piness in a small house as in Il large
house. There is as much satisfaction
under the light Of tallow candle as
under the glare of a chandelier, all the
burners at full blaze. Who was the
happier-John Bunyan in Bedford Jail
or Belshazzar in the saturnalia? Con
tentment is something you can neither
rent nor purchase. 1t is not eXtrinsic;
ii is intrinsic. Are there fewer rooms
in the house to which you move? You
will have less to take care of. Is it to
be stove instead of furnace? Al TIE
doctors say the modern modes Of
warming buildings are unhealthy. Is
it less mirrors? Less temptation TO
your vanity. Is it old fashioned tQ,lct

genius of the place had done all they
could do to make the place attractive.
For generations there has been an

gineer Department and after examination
CT the locality it was estimated that TIE
cost of the improvements asked would
amount TO S1.eiI

warded TO the Engineer Commissioner by

Hendation that the portion Of the work
lying between Keokuk Street and the Bun
ker Hill Road be included in the next list

sessnent system. The Computing Engia-
eeT stated that his recommendation was

sidewalk extending from Gaiena Street TO
Central Avenue is not recommended for
present considera ton, n the absence Of
