THE CORPORATION COUNSEL HOLDS THAT
THE ALDERMEN HAVE NO POWER
IN THE CASE.

Corporation Counsel Rives has rendered an opn-
ion as to the legality of erecting signs the tops
of buildings known generally sky signs and the
powers of the Board of Aldermen to regulate them
As he expressed it, This is free country ana IL
a man wishes disigure his property he has "a
right to- The Board OF Aldermen as far as can
see has no power whatever" The opinion was
rendered in answer to a letter from Alderman
Ware who introduced resolution relating to the
abolishment of these sky signs. He asked four
questions. viz:
First-Has the Board Of Aldermen power to pro
hbit the erection of signs. only to restrict
them in height and specify the materials?
Second-If ordinance passed allowing the
signs would it be necessary to require licenses ana
Third-Would this affect cornces of buildings and
other projecting parts?
Four-Has the Board of Aldermen any Jurlsdlc-
tion in the matter?
The Corporation Counsel in his opinion says in
part follows:

and the existence of such power is not, In my
owning building has the right to put on top OF 1t
whatever he peases and it would be unwar-
rantabe interference with the liberty Of the citizen

Will Dexter leaped from the buggy,
his eyes ablaze, his hands closing and
opening in fury.
There was the sound of ga1loping
hoofs, the snort and foam of fren-
zied horse and Tinsley, alert, straight,
savage and determined, leaped to the
ground before his horse stopped run
ming and alighted in the center OF dis
turbance, pistol in hand.
Turn about" he commanded, IN

amazement and wrath.
''Who are you speaking to-" he de-

ated Tinsley, eff that low-lived cur is

Young Dexter 1eaped into the buggy
and sl--shed the colt with his whip.
The animal leaped forward, threw one
of its widespread fore feet through a
wheel of the judges buggy and fell
writing and struggling with a broken
leg.
Instantly Tinsley was himself once
more. Ignoring the cleaning weapon
of the judge pointed at him, with it's
owners savage gaze glancing along the
polished barrel, he raised his own
weapon.
There was a fiat, crashing report, a
scream from the girl, and the pain
maddened horse fell Imply with a
"Goddlemightyl" exclaimed the
Judge, dropping his pistol into the
road "Mr. Tinsley, you're a mana
man damn you! Do you understand?
Another half second and I'd have
plugged you, and you knew it. should
have done it myself
Here, you, Will, take this rig and
with your mouth open,"
when I see a man I guess I know
it. Clear out"
The crunch of wheels and the rapid
thud of hoofs died away and the judge
blew his nose with explosive violence.

pardon. I was wrong. Shall we lea

Worse yet, it was the thirteenth day
of the month A knock was heard at
the kitchen door of the Burns man
sion. The Chinese servant opened the
door. A tramp of long and varied ex-
perience accosted him.
I've been travelling, and have play
ed in mighty hard luck" observed the
tramp. Il lost all of my money in an
attempt to corner oats, and now I'm
hungry; very, very hungry. Can't you
please give me a little bite of some
thing to eat?'
The Chinaman comprehended the
situation at once. A benevolent, pla-
cid smile spread itself over his entire
countenance.

tramp.
Eyes, like fish first rate. That
will do as well as anything"

TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN GIRL

Dorothy Dix TestiHes to Her Many
Good Qualities.
There Is also this to be said for
the American girl, says Dorothy Dix
In the New Orleans Picayune: II,
in the days of prosperity she Is but
terf1y. when adyersity comes she can
turn about and be a grub. In other
lands. when a man fails in business
his daughters are q milestone about
his neck. In America they are often
est his mainstay and support. Many a
girl who has never done anything but
ridden in carriages and danced the
german has-when q sudden change
OF fortune beggared her faIher-rolled
up her sleeves and gone to work as
cheerfully and gayly as she ever did
to ball, and by long years of devo-
ton repaid the money and love that
was lavished on her. So it is not
without reason that our national pride
centers around our girls. There are
none like them in beauty or wit or
versatility, and SO here's to the great
American girl-may sne live long TO
rule us!
