narnum Loved 10 PIense children.

DRrnum Loved TO Please Children.
What pleased P. L. Bnrnum most
as he proceeded to the full understand
ing Of his office and vocation was de-
yisIng methods to interest the children.
Their frank and vocaIly expressed
pleasure. their frolicsome, keen eyed de-
light in visiting his museum, mcnaserie
and show, were more to him than to
Caesar was the applause of millions.
A certain writer has said, Better be
driven out from among men than to be
dIsllked by children" The one man
who got farthest away from the force
of that possible malediction was p. L.
Bnrnum. He not only arranged spec
tacles to thrill his child patrons and to
fill them with awesome or hilarious
wonder, but he fixed days and prices
to meet their convenience and their
ability to pay for tickets.-Joel Benton

this ground, for If the railroad had
not intended to keep it for its own
use, it would have sold IL long ago.
Besides, the city is borrowing money
constantly to meet expenses, and 1t
will be long time before there will
bs any money to spare for buying 1t,
even If the railroad company was will
ing to sell or the city determined to
condemn. Hence the council could
apply its INSTRUCTED energies towards
accomplishing something better than
the purchase of the property.
For instance the wharf could be
kept clean, and free from mud. The
pavements on Broadway should be ex-
tended portion of the way down the
ievee, at least, and not end at First
street. leaving much mud to wade
through in bad weather to reach the
boats, no matter which way one goes.
Few people know that there is anoth-
er street below FIRST, known as Water
street. 1t is owned by the city, but
has never been improved. This city
property known as the wharf, how
ever, has for years past bean used as q
dumping ground by both the boatstore
and the ice factory, and il is claimed
that the boat store has for years had a
shed built on and projecting over city
property. Yet the very people who
have used the city's property for years
free of charge it seems are the ones
who are now making the most noise
because some of the other property
is being built up, as they built up
their own.
The council should take mp the
wharf matter Immediately, and do
something to improve tsappearance.

bad. 1t took the railroad company
nearly all night to find turntable for

tell him his hallowed head was to-

have to turn the car on q bridge span.

BAD DAY FOR BITES.

Mayor Pro Tenn Charles Reed, who
is already favorably mentioned as a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for mayor next year, is a wise
man. He was offered position in the
board Of aldermen which he declined.
He is now mayor pro tenn Of the coun-
Gil, and it is understood is sort Of
thorn in the side of the ssdministra-
tion, for he has always stood for pro-
gress and . great many other things
that the other fellows have never ad-
vocsted 1t is certain that he will be
speaker of the lower board when the
general council is organized, for the
same men who made him mayor pro
tenn will doubtless vote to make him
their chairman. II he had resigned
his place in the council it would have
been only to become simple alder
man. Gould he have become president
of the board of aldermen, it wouli
have been different. But he couldn't,
for that place, it was understood In ad-
vance, goes to Mr.. Ed p Noble. Hence
Mr.. Reed didn't bite. He will remain
in the council and become speaker of
it.
Another feature OF the benevolent
offer Of place rs alderman
was that there is law which ustipu-
lates that no councilman shall hold any
other city office during the term for
which he was elected. A councilman
is elected for two years, and being the
term for which he is elected, the law
is construed to mean that . council
man cannot hold any other Office for
two years. even though he resign as
councilman. Hence after councilman
Reed resigned to take place as alder
man, the law might be sprung upon
him, and he might be ousted on the
ground that he couldn't hold any
other office during the term for which
ne was elected councilman, two years,
although no longer a councilman.
Thus he would be prevented from
acting as alderman, and having resign
ed in the council, would no longer be
councilman either. In short, he
would be out of job entirely.
But even II this construct on could
not obtain, Councilman Reed would
still have been deprived of one year.
