Change a b1e

according to. reliable dictionary, means capable of change, giddy, in- consistent, fickleness, alterable; i'll fact it means to do something con trary to what you intended. That's just what the trolley company did on East Main street; they intended not to tread on anybody's toes. but they did and they had to change their do1ngs, Then again, they started to lay the tracks on Baldwin street but they only did it half way; they simply changed their mind. We'll, the public doesn't mind a little thing like that, but if a ward fsheeler' goes to convention and changes his mind and votes just the opposite to the way he first intend ed, then the public will raise a hol. ler;v they'll say he is "galdarn' this. that and the other, never think Ing for moment that the poor fellow has conscience and that he is acting according to what he thinks is right. But such is politics; you can't suit both sides, no matter how hard you may try Nevertheless you can have the brains to do tue right thing first off if you wish to. Now, the best way to educate the brain is to partake of a good brain tonic three times per day. For instance, drink some of our delicious fresh roasted Coffee in the
 morning and some of our new season. nice tasting, warranted good quality Tea at noon and every evening, and when you eat bread be sure and have good Butter with it. We are still sell, ing Butter that is Butter at p cents per pound.
