WORK is DELAYED.
Pottery Plant and Great Western
Buildings Delayed for Want of Ma

fottefy RANT ara STcdS WESTERN
Buildings Delayed for Want of Ma
teriaI.
Building operations both on the new
pottery plant and the Great Western
buildings are being delayed more or
less by the lack of material with which
to carry on the work. A local dealer.
who has the contract for supplying the
lumber for the pottery plant, says that
wholesalers have the lumber and are
ready to ship but owing tosthe scarcity
of cars the lumber can only be moved
very slowly. Delays in securing brick
for the pottery plant have also had an
effect in delaying building operations.
1t has been necessary, owing to these
causes, to lay off a portion Of the help
on the new buildings, but it is thought
that by the first of the coming week
material will have arrived in sufficient
quantities to again work the entire
force of mechanics.
Mr.. Charles Skugland, of st. Paul, the
contractor who has the Great Western
work in charge, also complains of a
scarcity of material, especially lumber,
that has had considerable effect in de-
laying his work here.

for 5000 given by Mr.. Hughes to Mrs.

Of the trouble. Mr.. Hughes claimed that
the note had been paid, while Mrs
Scott alleges that it had not. Endorse
ments of payments had been made or
the note. but they had been torn off
Mrs. Scott also claimed that her son-in-
law obtained possession of the note by
force and that her son-in-law anG
daughter had assaulted her. Mrs. Scot
also caused a search warrant to be is:
sued for the note, and an officer visited
the house and secured it. The case will

electric car. and after riding some dis

sitting next to her how near they were

stared blankly ahead and made no re-

being able TO give ner the information

Later in the day the lady got on an
other car. and seeing a vacant place OF

parently had not noticed her entrance
into the car. mottuned TO him to move
up so that she could take the place. For
a second time in the day she received no
response-and close investigation proved
this man to be blind.

AN APPEAL
By a. NJ. C.


There has been so much said In
the newspapers and elsewhere con-
eening leave Of absence aud early
closing in the different branches
Of the Government service that I
do not think it would be out of the
way to have an agitation m favor
Of the hard-worked special deliv-
cry boys Of the Postofice Depart
ment.
They are out in the rough
weather of winter and the hot
weather of the summer. Some
times they go miles with letter
to earn the small sum Of 5 cents,
and they have to endure many
hardships in the discharge of their
duty.
It seems to me that, being IN
the employ Of the Government, the
special delivery boys might be paid
reasonable salaries instead of the
present way, and that the boys
ought to have leave Of absence.
Delivering these letters IN
hurry and often at great distances
is hard on the boys and hard on
their wheels. We all appreciate
their good work. Let them re-
ceive considerate treatment.

to grow in very mach the same way as
the coral islands of the Pacific The
original reefs grow across the river. and
the reason Of that is because the swift

Of time. by the action OF wind, waves,
and vegetable growth on the accumuIat-
ing generation of oysters. the reef
eventually becomes established as an
island
Islands OF oysters are by no means
rare. There is every reason to believe
that the islands at the mouth Of the
Tagus. in Portugal, owe their origin 10
reefs Of oyaters. The mouth OF the
River Tagas is comparatively narrow
but widens cut itno a vast natural po11

By EUGENE FIELD

Up in the attic where I slept
When / was boy-a little boy!-
In through the lattice the moonlight crept,
bringing tide Of dreams that swept
Over the low red trundle-bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head,
While Inoonbeams played at hide and seek
With the dimples on each sun-browned check
When was boy-a little boy!
Aud 0 the dreams, the dreams I dreamed
When 1 was a boy-a little boyl
For the grace that through the lattice streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gift Of prophecy,
And to bring me gIinpses of times to be
Where manhood's clarion seemed to call.
Ah, that was the sweetest dream Of all
When l was a boy-a little boy
I'd Ike to sleep where I used to sleep
When l was a boy-a little boy!
For in al the lattice the moon would peep,
Bringing her tide Of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs Of the years away
From the heart that Is weary and faint today,
And those dreams should give me back again
Tie peace have never known since then
When was a boy-a little boy.
