The maddest man in town yesterday
was a Manton avenue grocery man, who
has been doing business some time under
the title OF Agent"
One OF the characteristics OF this man
is to hold onto piece OF money when he
gets IT, and he gives his wife but little
cash and when she is in want of dress
goods, etc. her husband will give her an
order on one OF the local stores for
much smaller quantity than she asks
for.
Monday the grocery man went 10 Bos-
ton and that day the representative OF
Bradstreets called and asked IL the store
was still conducted in the wifes name,
and being informed that II was left the
store.
A few moments later one of the order
clerks left the store and during the fore
noon called at the residence of his en-
ployer and was asked by the lady Of the
house TO return with number OF arti-
cles and a small amount OF money.
Now the order clerk being a fly sort
of fellow and not having any particu-
lar love for his employer on account OF
his close fistedness. told the woman that
the store and it's contents were hers and
all that she had to do was 10 be boss"
go TO the store and help herself 10 just
Wnat CdSn Sne wanted ana size look the
young mans advice. went TO the store
and took ffeH4-the- cashier tive SIC and a
So bill and left a note 10 that effect. and
when the store keeper returned In the
evening and learned these facts. he was
simply mad through and through and the
first act OF his this morning was TO dis
miss the order clerk for putting his wife
wise"

NEW LIGHTS COMING.
There is much rejoicing among the resi-
dents of Harris avenue and vicinity for
II looks as II they were 20 be cared for
in the way of lights. for In the past few
years the lighting system has been very
poor, especially I'm the winter time; so
much so that timid persons were afraid
to leave their homes.
Yesterday heavy poles were set along
the northwest side Of the avenue from
Valley street To Broadway and as the men
were from the electric lighting company,
the residents take Il that this means more
light. The poles are OF the heavier sort,
and this would indicate that arc lights
will be installed.
