the question of weighing all feed pur.
chased by the city for stock, and said

could be purchased for, one to be sta
toned at each truck house.
-. The Police Uniforms.
Owing to the fact that police officers
frequently resign or get discharged,
leaving the city 10 pay any balance
that NAV be due upon their uniforms,
the board decided that as soon as the
present uniforms we're paid for by the
officers that the sum Of Sly be de-
Quoted each pay day and placed to the
uniform and. this to continue the year
through. In the event that an of1cer
should resign or be discharged and
there is any money due him from the
uniform account 1t is to be returned
TO him. Under the present system the
uniforms are purchased and the city
stands good for them, deducting GER
tain amount each month from the pay
of the officers until they are paid for.

THE PERFECT NUMBER.
From Time ImmemOriaI Three Hni
Had Unusual SiEnincancc

From Time ImmemOriaI Three Has
Had Unusual Significance.
The perfect number of the Pythago-
rean system, expressive Of beginning,
middle and end, was the number three.
From time immemorial greater promi-
uence has been given to it than to any
other except seven. And as the symbol
of the Trinity its influence has waxed
more potent IN recent times. 1t appears
over and over again In both the New
and Old Testaments. At the creation
of the world we find land, water and
sky, sun, moon and stars. Jonah was
three days and nights in the whales
belly, Christ three days in the tomb.
There were three patriarchs, Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Abraham entertained
three angels. Job had three friends.
Samuel was called three times. Sam
son deceived Delilah three times
Three times Saul tried to kill David
with javein. Jonathan shot three ar
rows on David's behalf. Daniel was
thrown into a den of three lions be-
cause he prayed three times a day.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego We're
rescued from fiery furnace. The
commandments of the Lord were de-
livered on the third day. St. Paul
speaks Of faith, hope and charity.
Three wise men came to worship
Christ with presents three. Christ
spoke three times to Satan when he
was tempted. He prayed three times
before he was betrayed. Peter denied
him three times. He suffered three
hours of agony on the cross. The su-
prescription was in three languages,
and three men We're crucified. Christ
appeared three times to his disciples
and rose the third day.

The Tibetans offer daily prayers for
the minute insects which they have
swallowed inadvertently in their meat
and drink, and the formula insures the
rebirth of these microbes in heaven.
Yet they eat meat freely and square
their conscience with their appetite by
the pretext that the sin rests with the
outcast assassin, the public butcher,
who will be born in the next incarna-
ton as some tantalized spirit or agon-
lied demon. That, however, is his Own
