CUNNING OF MAYOR AMEs.
The "Old Man, Plans n Neat little
Prog ram.

The cold Man, Plans a Neat little
Prog ram.
Minneapolis, July 1s.-Mayor Ames,
sick and comparatively subdyued in
spirit, Is yet man of much cunning.
he Is recuperating at West Baden. I'm
medlately before he left for the Indiana
resort. he called his secretary, TON"
Brown. and his old time friend, Capt.
Charley" Hill, into conference. The
mayor admitted that things were ''rot-
ten" But he was not to blame for it.
His brother Fred was mainly to blame
for the incompetent police administra-
lion and the unpleasant things that
mad accompanied it. But Fred Ames
Is now away. He is of on flfteen-day
leave of absence. He may not come
back at least before the mayor dis
charges him as superintendent of po-
lice. Mayor Ames tells Brown and Hill
to reorganize the police department,
and then proceed with a crusade and
enforce the laws and ordinances, look
after the saloons, stop gambling, raid
the "canly joints and give Minneapo-
lis a touch Of narrow-gauge admins
t1ation: That sort of thing might be
accepted as evidence of these two facts:
F'irst-That the mayor had PRACTICAL
~ left everything to his brother Fred.
Second-That Fred was VIGOROUSLY
incompetent, and run things in man
ner that got himself and the mayor
into allsorts Of trouble.
People*Who know Mayor Ames thor
oughly say there is much method In
his madness. He doubtless calculates
that q change such as he outlined
means change in public sentiment,
and that he will be the main beneficiary
thereby.

Will have special representative at the
forthcoming session of the State Leg
islature.
Every man, woman and intelligent
child interested in North Louisiana
should read the Times. The expense
incurred in establishing special Baton
Rouge service during the Legislative
term will be great and ii will mark a
distinct departure in journalism in this
section of the State. Heretofore North
Louisiana readers have been compelled
to depend for their Legislative news on
South Louisiana papers, which having
no particular interest in North Louisiana
affairs have not given them very close
attention. The Shreveport Times will
devote several columns daily to the news
of North Louisiana. One little item in
which you are interested may compen-
safe for the cost of your subscription.
The Shreveport Times in addition to
this special feature contains the full
Associated Press service, all the market
reports, the local news of Shreveport,
news from the various North Louisiana
towns and special Sunday features, all
of which make it one of the leading
dailies of the South. Subscribe for it

Messrs. Henry T. Coates & Co.,
of Philadelphia, are fortunate in
their list of writer's of juveniles.
Many of the cleverest storytellers
who appeal to boy fancy are in
cluded among them. During the
past Christmas season no firm
presented more books of high
quality in this class. One of these,
Floating Treasure, by Henry Cas-
tlemon, all boys may read at any
season with pleasure and profit.
Mr.. Castlemon's name on the
back of a book is always a guar
antee of merit within. It stands
for a we'll told and entertaining
tale of healthful tone. In the
group he has written in the past
few years there is none which a
parent might not place in the
hands of son with confidence in
the results to flow from it's peru
sal. In Floating Treasure, Mr..
Castlemon reveals anew his APP
probation of the kind of story a
strenuous and intelligent boy
fancies. It is crowded with ex-
cellent adventure, and narrated
with excellent skill. There are a
number of Illustrations. Sent by
mail on receipt of price, ST.
