council 20 hire water for the two water
ing troughs. one at Quidnick and the
other at Washington. The trough at
ouidnick has been dry until few days
ago. since the Anthony Fire district voted
TO shut off the water on account OF DIM
culties about two years ago. 1t has been
found that the lack OF the watering
trouChs has been very movement To the

intention OF the petitioners to place the

WAS DOWN ON her LUCK.
Miss MlIns Made Two Unfsrtunatss Calls; ;
Lost Har Coat and Nigh Breks Her Back.

Just what superstition is best applica-
bic as an explanation or the extraordin-
ary hard luck that was portion of Marcia
Milns of SSs Eddy street, last evening.
Is a matter OF difficult solution.
Marcia is a sociable sort and last even
ing had two dates on the docket. The
rain didn't stop her from doing up her
duties and at o'clock she pulled the
bell OF a house on Richmond street.
After a reasonably long call she rose to
eecamp. Her new fall coat OF the tailor
made type and good for SIS most any
where had left early and there was no
clue as TO who II had gone off with.
Pretty hard luck for a driEzly evening.
The second date took her to Borden
street, number n TO be explicit She
was all frustrated over the robbery
and was so excited that she slipped on
the stairs and fell with more or less grace
Of bearing 10 the bottom OF the flight Her
shoulder was dlslocsted in the descent.
Talk about hard luckl
The shoulder was treated at the hos
pitsl and the police at the Plain street
station were put wise concerning the loss
of the coat. Miss Marcia will be tempted
10 cut out saddins for the next little
while ut least.
