-TRkOma Park Residents Favor
Bond Issue for improvements.

The Commissioners of the District have
given careful consideration TO recent let
tiers written by Mr.. T. ID. Haddaway, OF
1886 + Street northwest, relative to The
license fees exacted from p. l.. O. A.
Keller and j. A. Altemus for requiring
payment for admission to the seances
held by them. The Commissioners appre-
ciate the fact that large numbers of co.
pie believe in these manifestations and
that the subject matter is of great interes;
to them. and that many sincere and we'll
informed citizens believe the manifesto
tons TO be genuine. but they are con-
fronted with the fact that a law of the
Legislative Assembly requires that a Ii
cense shall be obtained for what are
termed exhibitions for gain.
In a recent opinion from the Attorney.
VINO had the matter under considera ton.
he advised the Commissioners as follows:
Il am Of the opinion that in each of these
cases a license tax is required of s. for
each day, or so per week. as he
ordinance providing for a weekly tax of
that amount for exhibitions has been uni
formly held by the Assessors Office as
still in force
In view of the above facts the Com
mssioners will notify Mr.. Haddaway that
they are OF the opinion that the only re-
lief which can be had in the premises
must come from Congressional action.

What Is n Sleeper:

Here is a definition which is as diff
ficult to read rapidly as ''Peter Piper
picked peck of picked peppers" and
yet is more sensible. In fact. it is an
actual statement Of facts, as you will
find If you read it slowly:
A sleeper is one who sleeps. A Sleep
err Is that in which sleeper sleeps. A
sleeper Is that on which the sleeper
runs while the sleeper sleeps. There
fore while the sleeper sleeps in the
sleeper the sleeper carries the sleeper
over the sleeper under the sleeper until
the sleeper which carries the sleeper
jumps the sleeper and wakes the sleep
err in the sleeper by striking the sleep
er under the sleeper on the sleeper.
and there is no longer any sleeper
sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper.

A Lost King.

A Lost King.
In Olden times. when European kings
were as plentiful as Kentucky colonies
are today, it was not an exceptional
occurrence for king to disappear and
never been heard of again. In ancient
times. however. the people have been
more careful of their kings.
SO when King Sebastian of Portugal
disappeared in battle July 30, 1878,
while fighting the Moors at Alcazar,
there was great commotiOn. The MoOrs
surrendered TO the Portuguese n body
said to be that of the king. but 1t was
rumored that the Moors had the king
alive in custody.
The surrendered body was buried
with royal honors at Belem, but the
faithful Portuguese persisted in wait
ing for the return of their king. Long
after he would have died in the course
Of nature his countrymen longingly
awaited his coming.
Even up to this day the legend of the
return of King Sebastian Is believed by
many. and on stormy nights credulOus
Portuguese citizens will wrap their
cloaks about them and 90 outside and
watch the storm, thinking that the
king may appear in cloud of fire
again to rule.
