LITTLE BIRD in OUR HOUSE.

The oldest kind of little bird
Has come to us, TO stay;
1t doesn't eat. it doesn't sleep,
It sings both night and day.
It's house Is just the dearest house,
I'm sure, you ever saw
All vines and leaves, and hangs so high
Quite safe from kitty's paw.
There Is tiny, curious door
Flies open like wink;
Our bird bobs out, and then bobs back.
AS quick as you can think.
But first, from out the little throat,
Before you could cry Boo
There comes the sweetest notes, which
sound
Exactly like Cuckoo

GRANDMA'S GIRLS AND BOYS.

wish-I wish (said Grandma Cray
That little boys were always good,
That little girls so fond Of play,
Would help their mothers when they
should
I wish all boys would be polite.
And all the little girls were neat,
That all would try 20 do the right,
And all had tempers that were sweet
How very pleasant life would be
If every wish of mine came true,
It can be done, you must agree
AnG all depends. my dear, on you!

DON'TS TO GIRLS.

Don't be rude toward your brothers.
Boys feelings are as sensitive as girls.
Don't speak of your father as 1.-The

to your parents you must not look to
the world to respect you.

MISFIT SPECTACLES.

I've wondered why the spectacles that
grandpa has to read
Should make things when I put them
on, look very queer indeed
Good reason why his spectacles for me
will never do.
For, don't you see, my eyes are brown,
while grandpapa's s are blue!

ON RECORD NOW.
Water Committee Bound by Own Act
ion not to Oppose Change in
Water Bill.

A resolution declaring the right
of the people to make the Water
Commission elective, and declaring
further that the water committee
has no opposition to offer to any
movement by citizens for securing
a change in the law was passed by
the Water Committee at meeting
held Friday afternoon. The res
olution was adopted with but one
dissenting vote. Mr. Woodcock
voted against it, and was given
permission to record his objection
in the minutes of the meeting. His
objection is that he does not pro-
pose now to take any action or en-
ter into any agreement that shall
prevent him from pursuing any
course that he may see fit in the
future with reference to the law.
The resolution adopted is as fol-
lows:
Resolved that there is no question
| in the minds of members of this
committee that the people have the
right, at any time to secure from
the legislature an amendment to the
water bill so that members of the
water committee, or commission, or
both may become elective by the
people, and that as a committee we
/ have no opposition to offer any
movement by citizens for securing
such a change: and be it further
Resolved, that this resolution be
spread upon the minutes of this
committee and that a copy be fur
nished the common council of Cor
Wallis under the direction of whose
special committee said water bill
was prepared and the members Of
! this committee selected"
There was discussion of the res
o1ution. A majority of the memb-
eTs favored stronger resolution.
The question came up as to wheth-
er it was better for six members te
pass a strong resolution, or all but
one member adopt somewhat
| nlluCl OuC. IL was (OASAdAi$d lAds
the latter course would doubtless be
more acceptable to the people, and
action was taken accordingly. The
resolution was reported to the city
council Monday night and by I'M
animous vote that body approved
it and ordered it spread upon the
minutes, ITO stand as record of the
action of the water committee.
The resolution ought to be the
means of letting mountain water
go to vote of the people on it
, merits If the members of the
, water committee themselves at their
4 first meeting, officially suggest a
change so as to make the commits
sion or committee, or both elective
by the people, putting the resolu-
ton of record with the city council
, there shonld. it would seem, be NJ
, further reason for fear that tht
committee might hornswoggle al

kingdom, skip with the waite
works, and cut off the heads Of th'

FAMILY CARES
This Information May Be of Value to
 Many a Mother in Phoenix.

When there is added to the many cares inseparable from the rearing of children that affliction of weakness of the kidneys and auxiliary organs, the mothers lot is far from a happy one. This condition can be quickly changed and absolutely cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. When this is known the mothers burden will be lighter and her home happier.
 J. A. Skinner, dealer in staple and fancy grocerieG, 216 West Railroad avenue, Albuquerque, N. M, says: When a man finds from observation and experience that an article exten- sively advertised does not do as it promises it is his duty to prevent his fellow men from squandering probably hard earned wealth in it's purchase. It is jGst as much the duty of a citizen to tell his friends and acquaintances about articles upon which they can absolutely depend. Some time ago there came to my notice a case of a child whose control over the kidney secIetions was limited. The parents procured for it Doan's Kidney Pills and the treatment, according to directions for children, was commenced. In ad-

THE ROOSEVELT DAef
Meaning Of the Time Feature of the
 Bids for Construction.

The people generally are feeling quite jubilant over the figures present
 ed by the bidders for the construction
 of the Roosevelt reservoir. The cost l is materially less than had been pre-
 dicted by many who were disposed to | take a pessimistic view Of things. In
 this connection it might be mentioned
 that Chief Engineer Newell recently | stated that all contracts that had been 1 let to that date for reclamation work | had been little under the estimates | previously made by the government | engineers. This demonstrates two ] things; first that the contractors are
 not robbing the government, and in directly the people and second that the l government engineers are conservative and when they say a piece of work | will cost a certain figure, their esti- 1 mates may be relied upon without add | ing to it another third as a man has to do when he figures on the building of a house.
 Engineer Wisner said yesterday that while the delay in opening bids, on ac- count of the recent washouts, was an- ;Ioying, he was glad it occurred, for the reason that the bidders were given a
 practical illustration of some of the difficulties they may expect to encoun- ter III ll1e DulluiIlS Ol lllC udAils VI NAiAClA- ever one of them gets the contract They put in their bids knowing these things so they must have taken them into consideration in bidding.
 There is one point on which the pub
 lie perhaps is laboring under a misap- prehension as it has not been referred to hitherto by the newspapers. That is that the time of building mentioned. and required to be mentioned by the specifications for the dam, does not mean the time for the completion of the dam but for it's completion to point 150 feet above low water level or river bed level, at which period of construction the use of the dam may begin. To carry the enterprise to that point will include about four fifths of the masonry work, though the dam will then hold only about one third its ca pacity when entirely finished. The reasons are obvious why the last one fifth of the work will be the fifth that will provide for the holding of two thirds the water when the basin is full
 The fact that the work will probably be completed to that stage in two years or less is a pleasing thought to the people of the valley for the reservoir no doubt will have water for all the lands that Dy that lIIle nave EeiAeC'Su the preiiminaries for its use and it all but puts the farmers tout of the woods" This years crops are practi- caIIy assured. It is very natural to expect that there will be a series of good years now but under the most adverse circumstances only one years crop can be lost.

Want Town to Themselves.

NEWPORT, r. l., Dec. 19.-At the
last meeting of the city council of
Newport a notice was received from
the Rev DR.. Braddin Hamilton, of
New York, whose summer home is at
Hawthorne villa, acting for a number
of the summer residents of Newport,
whose names were not given in the
notice, that at the coming session OF
the general assembly of Rhode Island
a bill would be introduced to divide
the city of Newport, the southern sec
ton Of the city, in which most Of the
cottagers live, to be known as South
Newport. The reasons gwen for such
action are unjust taxation and the
failure of the city council to respect
the wishes of the summer residents,
who are said to pay at least IS per
cent of the taxes of the city. A SIM
liar action has been served on the city
council. 1t is believed that the city
council will strongly oppose a division
of the city.
