BIDS FOR FIRE HALLS
JOnes-McIntyre Co. Offers $4,000
for Two ON Third Street

for Two ON Third Street
After waiting long years In vain for an
offer for the fire department buildings on
Third street, between Nicollet and First
avenue and Sixth avenue S, the city has
found some one ready to talk business.
Last night bids came in Unexpectedly for
both buildings. The Jones' MCINTYRE com
pany offer $4,000 for the upper Third
street building and $4,000 for the one on
lower Third street The first is % feet
front, two stories high and runs back to
the alley. The other is of the same
height, % feet front on Sixth avenue, and
in the rear is a lot % feet wide fronting
on Third street. In both cases practical
ly the whole value Of the property is in
the land
The fire department officials have long
been anxious to dispose of both properties
and erect two new buildings better adapt
ed to fire department purposes. one on the
city lot on Fourth street between Henne-
pin and First avenue n, and another
somewhere in the district between the
courthouse and the flour mills Fire
Chief Canterbury does not consider the
prices offered sufficient, and thinks it
doubtful whether the committee will do
business. The upper Third street house
is worth perhaps not a great deal more
than $4,000, he says, but $4,000 is far less
than the real value Of the other property.

PAVING WORK TIED UP
The City Council Must First Act O1
100000 Bond Issue.

Paving operations are all tied up for
another two weeks or more. The city will
not be ready to begin work in real earnest
until the council has acted on the $780,
600 bond issue authorized by the last
legislature. It requires a unanimous
vote to order the issue. It Is the inten-
I1on to hold a special meeting a week
from Monday to take action, when it is
hoped every member of the council may
be present.
1t would be possible to let part of the
contracts for material at once, however,
and proceed with part of the work, no
tably the paving of Seventh street Sc.
where crushed slate will be used Alder
man Foell blocked all progress there two
weeks ago, and again at last nights
meeting, and now everything is held UP.

Other City Departments Well Within
Their Appropriations.

The end Of the first quarter of the year
finds all the city departments, with two
exceptions, well within their appropria-
tions. According to a report of Controller
Rogers, the fire department fund is over
drawn about $4,000, and the police depart
ment fund $1,000. In the one case this is
due to the biennial purchase of horses

MAX O'RELL SAYS:
The Charming Woman is Preferable to the
Pretty OF Beautiful One.

Pretty OF Beautiful One.
I prefer the pretty woman to
the beautiful woman and l like
the charming woman best Of all.
| The pretty woman remains
pretty longer than the beautiful
woman remains beautiful, and
the charming woman lasts for
ever.
The beautiful woman is often
selfish and conceited, the pretty
woman seldom, and the charm
ing woman never.
Do I object to perfect beauty
| in woman? Do I find fault
with regular features, with clas-
sical outlines and absolute attic
figure?
Well, no-yet, there is some:
thing cold about perfection, and
I have known the whole charm
of a woman to be, if not actually
produced, at any rate enhanced
by a few little defects; a nose
slightly turned up, an Austrian
upper lip, showing the teeth and
making the mouth just a little
disdainfui; suspicion of a small
salt-cellar breaking the unifor-
nifty, I was going to say the
monotony, of perfectly smooth
throat.
The absolutely beautiful wo,
man is a statue, and very often
a few little defects give her life.
The beautiful woman may ap'
peal to our artistic sense, but
seldom to any other sense.
In her presence we feel be-
numbed, and, as we get quite
close to her, we often have a
sensation akin to that of a man
with no clothes on leaning
against the North pole.
She is naughty and seldom
cheerful. She has no sense OF
humor. She ever stands sentry
at the door of her majesty, and
as she walks, stands and sits:
she never loses sight of her out
lines.
If she were your wife you feel
you would have to spend your
life in constant deadly fear lest
you should crumple something
and break the symmetry Of the
whole ensemble.
The sensation would be very
much like the one you have in
some of those ofdfashioned puri-
tanical houses where you find
all the chairs placed in a row
against the wall at perfectly
equal distances.
; You dare not sit down for fear
of causing immediate disaster
and confusion. If you are press
ed, and you do sit down, you
want to apologize, for, somehow,
| it doesn't seem fair on the furni-
ture.
The beautiful woman is to be
admired at a respectful distance,
| like the Venus of Milo in the
