bright eyed newsboy, says Forward,

rection in a way that showed him well

You'll have to run to Fourteenth

return. Il can sell all the way back
again." white haired old gentleman
seemed interested in the boy and ques-
toned him concerning his way of liv-
ing and his earnings. There was a
younger brother to be supported, it
appeared. Jimmy was lame and
couldn't earn much hisself." "Ah. l

What would be the good of havin luck
If nobody was glad or of gettin things
If there was nobody to divide with?"

his humble home the remark was made
that "a worse sermon" had been heard
at church

accidentally fell into the cistern. which

Wise and Otherwise.

No man can be happy unless he tries to
make other people happy.
The unexpected seldom happens to
show up for dinner at a boarding house.
Friendship bought with money isn't
proof against the coin of your enemy.
No man can render assistance to an
other without at the same time helping
himself.
1t is sometimes better to receive hon.
orabe mention than it is to receive first
prize.
When a man does good by stealth, it
doesn't require a very smart detective to
discover the motive.
If a man has trouble in keeping the
wolf from his door, he should move into
a house in which there are windows only.
It's n good thing that men are unable
to the epitaphs on their tombstones.
otherwise the majority of them would be
unable to get hats large enough.

The Neon Baby.

There's beautiful golden cradle
That rocks in the rose red sky;
i have it there in the evening air,
Where the bats and beetles fly,
With little white clouds for curtains
And pillows of fleecy wool,
And dear little bed for the Moon Baby's head
So tiny and beautiful
There are tender young stars around it
That wait for their bath of dew
In the purple tints that the SUMS warm prints
Have left on the mountain blue;
There good little gentle planets
That want to be nursed and kissed
And laid to sleep in the ocean deep
Under silvery folds of mist.
But the Moon Baby first must slumber,
For he is their proud young king;
So hand in hand round his bed they stand,
And lullabies low they sing,
And the beautiful golden cradle
Is rocked by the winds that stray,
With pinions soft, from the halls aloft,
Where the Moon Baby lives today.

Representatives of Local CONNER
ciaI Bodies VIII Discuss Merits
of Respective Sites at u
Meeting Friday.

While the county commissioners have
taken an option on the Stewart property
as possible site for new Jail building,
yet the assurance that the ideas of the
commissioners in this matter will ever
reach contamination is decidedly slim.
A sentiment strongly opposite to the
desires Of the commissioners has made
its appearance, and County Archi-
tect Donohue, in View of this and pos
sible miscarriage Of the plans of the
board, is preparing q set of plans based
or the present jail grounds as a site.
The judges of the district court a COM
mission Of contractors and the grand jury
have SO far favored the present Jail site
and their contentious have in a manner
been borne ont by public sentiment.
In making the plans two sets will be
prepared, onesbased on the Stewart prop
erty as a site, and the other with the
present jail site as a foundation. There
will be cells and departments for wonl-
en-, common prisoners, juveniles and
prisoners awaiting sentence All cells will
be in proximity to shower baths. In
the plans as prepared for the present
site, a bridge will be arranged to con-
meet the jail with the court house, so
that prisoners can be transported direct
to the court room. In addition to the
offices for those in charge, there will be
well equipped hospital and drug roonl
The county commissioners will meet
next Monday and at that time the jail
question will again receive considerable
discussion. No effort has as yet been
made to repair the present structure or
to remove the steel stack as ordered at
previous meeting.
