practical joke, planned to secure re-

which had deeply grieved and mortified
a young woman.
at was in a fashionable boarding
house." said the instrument man, lin
an uptown street, that four young
ladies lived. With youth they COM
bined good looks, cheerful dispositions
and the Oman's proverbial proneness
for desire for the admiration of the
sterner sex. But all their blandish-
ments were lost on a handsome young
fellow who boarded in the house, and
who, while not exactly cynic or a
misanthrope, seemed to fruwn down
any exhibit ons of youthful frivolity.
HE frequently chatted with the
girls after dinner, and when, one even
ing, the COW ersation turned upon
flirting, he expressed himself very
forcibly on the subject, saying no lady
could descend to such an action, while
a man of true honor would only de-
spise her if she did. This, of course,
coming from a young, gOod-lOoking
fellow, was surprise to the girls who
at first thought he was joking, but as
he repeated his views ON several other
occasions, and as his conduct, which
was carefully looked into, seemed to
justify his views, they came to the be-
lief he was in earnest. Thereafter he
was known as the prude.
"Ile surprised the girls, one summer
afternoon, by inviting the most modest
looking of their number to accompany
him to Manhattan Beach. She accep-
ted and they left. Not to go infinitely
into details, they had a nice dinner
and were listening to the music when
two young men passed, One of them
looked rather intently at the girl and
smiled. She was some what near-sight-
ed, and, telling of the matter after
ward, she said she thought the young
man was a friend, whereupon she
smiled and bowed. The prude' saw it
all, and taking her by the arm he led
her to the young men, and addressing
him who had bowed to the girl, he
SAID:
"I don't know your name, sir, but

Mr.. and Mrs j. l.. Maui returned
from Hendersonville, N. c., Last
Thursday, coming from Jacksonville
on the steamer Crescent. Some
weeks ago the News reported Mr..
Maull as convalescent, that REPORT
having originated here, but it seems
without foundation other than the
hoe of his friends. At that time
Al. Maui was very low. Later he
showed signs of improvement and at
his request was brought home. He
is still very i'll, but that he shows i'm
provement is encouraging. His ill
ness seems to be due to fall last
,pring in which one of his ribs was
fractured. Now that he is at home
his friends look for steady improve
ment.

The school children who entered
uron the real work of their little
lives last Monday were surprised al
the transformation which, under the
supervision of Mr.. M. II. White, has
been brought about in the old shack
with it's broken windows, leaky roof,
cracked and broken black boards,
dirty ceiling, etc, There We're clean,
comfortable rooms, newly plastered,
with new, solid black boards, repair
ed chimneys, new roof, new windows,
and everything in the best possible
shape for doing a good winters work
Mr.. White has indeed done his full
share for the children of Crescent
City, and the News trusts that these
same children will show their appre'
citation of his kindness by doing theil
part to keep the school room in Its
present neat and orderly shape.
Everything Mr.. White has done
for the school has been of the best
from the entire new roof to the UNI
derpinning. He has probably PAID
out over 800 in repair work.

THERE WAS a LIE L INN YIN MS In
neva, the third had some one in Paris
in whom she could contide, while in
London the fourth had friend whom
she would let into the secret. So five
letters were written at oace, four of
them to go abroad and tell the friends
how to act, the fifth being sent to ''the
prude," telling him where Blanche
was to stop in London and how Ic 3;
how she would go to Paris and where
she could be found, and the same data
concerning Hamburg and Geneva.
All the girls were on hand to see
"the prude" depart, and he was very
happy over what he thought was the
secret locked up in his breast
From letters received from the
friends abroad he appeared at the ad-
dress given in London, only to be told
that Miss Willoughby had been there
and had looked anXiously each day for
a friend whom she expected. Much
detected at his non-arrival, she had de-
parted for Paris earlier than she eX-
pccted, leaving word that should a
Young man call for her he should be
asked to follow her at once.
In this way he was sent to the four
cities named, and then, losing all track
of his phantom sweetheart, he trav-
eled around on his own accord, hoping
to find her. But, of course, he didn't,
and when, three months later, he re-
turned to this country and to his
boarding house he was heart-broken
man. The next morning when he APP
peared at the breakfast table there
was letter on his plate which made
his eyes twinkle with joy. He took
it to his room, and this was what he
read:

MISTAKES IN
ASSESSMENTS.

Under the direction Of the finance
committee OF City Council, Auditor
Boughman is continuing his i0vesti.
eaiion of the bouks, of The tax office.
IL will be sometime however before
he has anything definite to report
Members OF the finance committee
say that the Auditor has found that
the Statements Of property upon
which the lax rates were based in
previous years were far fiom right,
THIS may partly account for The Tact
that the CITY has been regularly hay-
ing deficit each year, This was due
to careless work on the part OF those
who handled The iinanclai affairs Of
the CITY.
For the year 1898 the auditor has
found mistakes in assessment figures
amounting to nearly $500. 600. In
other words the actual assessment
for that year was $500, 900 less than
the figures upon which Council based
its estimates and fixed the TAX rate.
The tax upon 5000 900 would be
about So, 0O0, and therefore the city
would be short by just that amount
providing all OF lie taxes were COL
lecled. This is sample ot the Kind
OF tlnancieriGs which the members of
City Cuunci' and others vino make up
the assessment figures and estimate
the TAX rate have been dong.
City Authorities caunut now tell
whether the tax rate for any period
in the history OF this ely was prop
erly based. 1t will lie lhis year how
