A 2.CENI BUBBLE"
Louie and Georgia Wanted to Find

After Six Hours Search They Were
Returned to Their Dis

They tried to buy an automobile for two
cents. But being unable to find a bargain

home. at IS Ninth street S about 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Each clutched

committee had not proceeded for, how
ever, before 1T went into executive ses-
sion and amended its Instructions

last night.
"'Cause we could ride home in it, ad
ded Louie convincingly.
The scene Of the negotiations will never
be clearly ascertained. But the lovers Of
rapid transit must have decided that, If
two cents wouldn't buy an automobile, it
might at least secure an unpretentious To-
connective. For George. the historian Of
the expedition, declares that he saw 'lots

Before they abandoned the automobile
project the capitalists wisely arranged
for possibilities by calling at some hos
pital. They went into house. as Geor-
gle remembered this morning. where
they saw some black mammas wiz big,
white bbs on, and Zere was re funniest

expended the remaining cent in securing
control of two pieces of gum. Louie put
one piece in the pocket of his blue velvet
"knickers' and divided the other piece for
the mouths of the committee.
About 7 o'clock Louie and George en-
tered grocery out at Nicollet avenue and
Grant street, many blocks from their
home. Georgia addressed the grocer:
Louie is dref-ful tired n won't you
take us home.'
The grocer comforted the dusty specu-
lators with candy and big apples, while
they endeavored to think where they
lived. An hour later George had decided
that his home was ''at Mint street." But
the actual address was learned only when
the grocer had telephOned to the police,
asking if they knew anything of small
blue boy named Louie and a little gray
boy called Georgia.
But nor candy nor apples could induce
the boys to part from their rusty teapot

therein have themselves been made with

administration appropriations for county

curately made and disbursements have
been keenly scrutinized.

It is a fact that should interest every
taxpayer that, though the valuation OF
the county Is now $16,000,o00 more than

Remarkable ThouohtfuIness,

The thoughtfulness of a man who re-
members all the wedding anniversaries
and birthdays Of his friends recently de-
veloped the fact that he used a very care
fully made calendar for the purpose. Each
year he throws away the old calendar and
makes up a new one; thus when an ami
versary comes round he is ready with g.
gift or pleasant note. For a wedding an
niversary, golden grain belt beer makes a
very appropriate gift. It is acceptable
both as a delicacy for the table and as a
splendid health tonic. Every one likes to
get something that is both luxury and q
necessity. -

1t will be seen that both the rate of

have been reduced, while the valuation
has been greatly increased. This re-
