REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

IFrom the New York Press.1
It takes a double-dyed fool to think
that he is the exception to the rule.
Maybe we love them so much because
there never sees to be any reason why
we should.
When a girl wishes she was young
enough to fiirt with a man who thinks
she is too old for that sort of thing. she
calls him a little snip
A woman has no faith in a mans
love unless she feels she can wake him
up in the middle of the night to ask
him if he remembered to post her
letter
No woman likes to have a man stare
at her as if she were a picture he
owned, but she likes it better than to
have him act like she wasn't worth
looking at.

WILL CLEAN PAVEMENTS.
Street. Commissioner to Remove the
Sand Covering.

Street Commissioner Frank Snyder
has force of men at work removing
the sand from the new pavement laid
this summer. He Is also building 40
stone crossings, and using the sand
which is taken from the pavement as a
foundation for the crossing stones.
There is always more or less COM
plant during the summer because the
sand is allowed to remain on the pave
ments and blow into the houses of citi-
zens, who naturally don't like 1T. 1t
keeps the street commissioner busy ex-
planning that IT is necessary to leave
the sand on the pavement for some
time, to allow 1t to work down between
the bricks. The longer the sand stays
the better for the pavement.
The first pavement laid in town the
past summer was on College avenue,
and the sand was removed from that
street Friday

EMPEROR'S AMBITION
WILLIAM HAS CONTRACTED THE
AMERICAN CUP FEVER.
YACHT BUILDERS CONSULTED
The Emperor Is Kept Informed ON the
Investigations Of German
Designers and
Builders.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 9.-Much interest has
been excited in Berlin by the rumor that
it is the emperor's intention to challenge
for the Americas cup, but nothing
definite is known on the subject, says the
Berlin correspondent of the World.
For two years the emperor has been
ambitious to challenge for the cup, but
his advisers have dissuaded him from
trying until some finality was attained
regarding the building of the yacht nee
essary.
The kaiser is persuaded that with a
yacht of the Meteor class he can accom-
plish nothing. German builders at pres
ent are closely studying the questions
involved. and the kaiser is kept constant
~ posted, but nothing is yet known ex-
cApt that builders have been sounded
both in this country and in England on
the subject.
