a number Of incidents, mere trltie'

"That won't do. You don't mean Il

city has the option Of unloading It's
untenantabe old city hall at a fair
price in exchange for the new build
ing the city also aquiring several de
sirable lots gratis: fifth, the price
asked is much less proportionately
than that asked for the Board Of
Trade building and the city can own
its municipal building very mach
quicker. On behalf of the more ex
pensive, less well adapted Board Of
Trade building the sole argument is
more central location, When one
considers how tottering is even now
Tower avenues retail supremacy the
advantages OF this building are very
uncertain.
That for once the public Welfare has
been unimpeded by personal bias
augurs well. Can the federal building
but be located on Broadway nearby
and the union station erected in the
vicinity a new era will dawn for the
thoroughfare which is destined to
become in actually the chief retail
street of the metropolis Of the upper

We no longer have the great love for
tuberoses that formerly made an eX-
tensive market for these fragrant low
ers, AS they became more and more
generally used in funeral designs the
demand grew less, apparently because
people associated their odor with flu
nerals. North Carolina growers, who
have shipped nearly all of the tube

A Step IN the Right Direction

A step IN the right direction was the
unified action OF the common couhc''

AN ECoNoMIsT-Thomas w. Law

that 1t is rather through enterprise

that financial success may be attained.
"The time is past" he said the 9TH

be practiced by an old Boston restau-
rateur who recently died.
"This old fellow was economical to
excess, but while he pottered about
his kitchen trying to make one egg do
the work Of two his neighbor across
the way was introducing a roof garden
and a mandolin orchestra, and the
economist, 1 understand, hardly left
enough on his demise to pay his debts.
He was, beyond any doubt, an
economist. A couple Of plumbers
were working one day in his cellar. 1t
was too dark down there to see and
the men asked for some light.
