THERE ARE TO persons not wholly color blind
me things that look at FIRST glance, of yellow hue
and some things that are little hard to understand
For my own part do not understand why the
chief Of polces office would contain records of fines
against persons and at the same time the docket
belonging to the police judge be blank, and why
persons will admit that they have paid fines, num-
Der Of them, ana the police Judge have no knowledge
of it, And why it is made necessary for police
officer to declare his intentions OF taking vioators
before the u s. courts iii order that the law may be

He is worker and goes about his business is an in
telligent, systematic way Much work remains to
be done, bit the streets probably in better con-
dition than they have ever been before.

The Ong was 4 huge bird, greater
than the houses OF the white men Its
body was like the eagles, and its
wings were longer than the tallest

and its feet were webhed- Its nest
was deep down In the bottom o. the
lake out I'm the center, and out OF the
nest rushed all of the waters which

back near the bottom. In great under
sweeps, and after passing through the
meshes OF the nest are sent forth
