in the third grade will read books in the

do not see and hear much at home. and
whose Yoca bulary is very limited, find that
books for younger children are best.

fore the late lord chief Justice took sick. he
was sitting in court. when another barris-
ter, leaning across the benches. whispered:
Russell. what's the extreme penalty for
bigamy?' 1.-TWO mothers-in-law," instantly
replied Russell.
On one occasion Lord Russell went to
help the liberals in a certain campaign. He
began his speech of set purpose with some
very badly pronounced Scotch. After the
confusion caused by his apparent blunder
had subsidized Sir Charles Russell (as he
then was) said: Gentlemen, do not speak
Scotch, but l vote Scotch" Tremendous
applause followed whereupon Sir Charles
proceeded. and sometimes drink Scotch"
With this his hold on the audience was se-
cured
Although unrivaled In the art of cross
examination. on one occasion he was dis
tinctly beaten by a witness. What is your
age?" he asked. Us it my age you are ask

this way: The first rush TO the cape last
summer was from San Francisco. Seattle,

IN Alaska The men who Staked GU. these

In the meantime the miners in the Klondike
region had heard OF the rich strikes at Cape

not make the Improvements needed
and furnish the city lights at $3.50
per month on yearly contracts. The
company has been under great ex-
pense. The reason the company
bought the gas works was to keep 1t
from being a menace to the eeletrie
lights. Now that they controlled both
they would be run at a profit or not at
all. The company would not guarantee
candle-power.
Then followed a mixed up discussion
Of electrical matters which Council
man Brix ended by saying: Well,
gentlemen. what want to know is not
what expenses the West Shore Mills
Company are under. but what this
water commission is going to do with
this lighting question"
ElTuore said the commission was not
prepared to answer that question at
the present time. 1t would like to
know what the council wanted 1t to do
whether the council was prepared to
contract for electric lights and what
they would be willing topay He asked
If the council was in position to
enter into a specified contract with
the water commission.
Schernecl1au answered that he was
satisfied the COUNCIL was prepared to
enter into contract.
It was then decided to go into exec
utive session and after recess of
ten minutes this was done with the
result as given above.
