During the present winter there has
been a succession OF storms and floods
that will mark 1902 as a banner year.
The last day Of winter was probably
the worst From every direction come
reports Of high rivers, inundated towns
and destruction to property. February,
true to her record. indulged in every
species of weather and ended up with
a thunder storm. as though the grand
finale required drums and fireworks.
This morning gentle spring makes her
entrance. Her breath is in the air and
the warmth of her greeting is grateful.
But it is wise to keep the coal bin
filed. for February has a way of pay
ing party call at any unexpected mo-
ment after her prescribed visit has
terminated.

In view OF the expenditures of the city
for special counsel in the various mat
ters pertaining to the proper conduct
Of our affairs, the people are beginning
to realize that law--at least official
law-is an expensive commodity
There is no disposition to find fault
with the reputable members of the bar
who haye been employed from time TO
time, since in the course OF their pro
fessional duties they are not expected
TO turn away clients. But il has reach
ed a point when the salary of the City
Solicitor is a mere bagatelle compared
with the annual expenditure for spe-
cial counsel The remedy consists in
several parts. and we should remem-
Der that 1t is as expensive for a city
as for an individual TO form the habit
OF getting into the courts. II business
were conducted with the proper care
and integrity, much litigation would
be prevented, since there would be few
er points open to legal discussion. Then
the city should create a law department
capable OF taking care Of all Of it's legal
interests. Pay the salaries the posi-
tions demanded, and give the solicitor
the necessary assistants. This would
be business-like, and, in tine end,
cheaper.

The Drecaution taken in fumigating
all public places is wise. There may
not be one chance OF contagion in ten
thousand. but that one chance we want

been unnecessary, but it is worth
something in the sense OF security on

ONE PICTURE.
Or, such dainty little miss,
Her parents fondest treasure
To hear her sing is such a JOY,
To hear her talk a pleasure.
She's versed in all the little ways
or perfect form and manner:
No spot must ever soil her face,
No breezes ever tan her.
How gracefully the minuet
She steps for each admirer
No difiidence betrays itself
No praises ever tire her.
Around her centres all the life.
And parents fond are eager
To live their lives and die for her.
And spend their fortune meager.
How wise this little miss of ten,
With thoughts of Keats and Brown
ing,
How easily she settles points
That keep professors frOwning.
At twenty she has lost her friends,
And never can regain them,
Her charms have fed, although she
tries
So hard to yet retain them.
