The people of River Falls are 60
ing through the throes of a curfew
ordinance discussion. AS a rule
such restrictions are worse than
nothing from the fact that they are
a dead letter upon the charters of a
municipality. Parents, officers and
children give the curfew ordinance
no heed, beyond the ringing of the
bell at the appointed hour Hud-
son Star-Times.
There was an old woman tossed
up in a basket, a jolly old woman,
so rosy and fat; and where she was
going I couldn't but ask it, for she
carried with her a new Gordon hat.
"Old woman, old woman, old wom-

ali whittier so high?" I'm going,
she answered, this same afternoon
to carry this hat to the man in the
moon" Allard, Stewart Co. have
all the latest shapes for sale.

hold out. The worst thing about
it is that they seem to delight most
in making big noise while other
people would like to sleep.
Putnam's dam offers an easy way
of getting into the park from the
north, and over this dam a foot
bridge could be built for one-tenth
the cost of one across from Vine
street. 1t is but one block further
west and a bridge there would 1anc
you into the center of thepark. The
banks on either side are of equa,
height and so the bridge would
need no abutment or prepared ap
proaches. From the standpoint Of
the romantic the site is the prettiest
available. From the center of E
bridge over this dam the glen is If

When the weed commissioner
went by the garden of the sluggard
he saw it was all grown over with
weeds" Noxious weeds are obnox
