New System VIII Soon Be In Vogue In
City Departments. *
City Controller Dan G. Brown will soon
issue the new uniform city billhead for use
in all departments: and by all parties
doing business with the city. In the Hfu-
ture all bills for supplies will come in on
the uniform bill head. An affidavit blank
is attached which must be signed and
sworn to by some member. of the firm, or
officer Of the corporation presenting the
bill. Altho there has been some objec-
ton raised to the affidavit arrangement,
little trouble is expected. It has been
claimed that parties with small accounts
will be obliged to- pay notarial fees which
will eat up the profits. Most business
houses, however, have notaries in their
own offices and the notary in the control
lers office will come to the rescue of those
who do not.

 HANS HoLBEIN.
 Hans Hoben, of the German school of painting. was born in Augsburg in the year 1497. His father, grandfather, uncle and brother were painters and decorators in the then great city of Augsburg. Being on the direct route to Italy It became for n time the richest commercial city In all Southern Germany.
 It was Hans father who gave him bis art training In the studio or the cider Holbein worked Hans and his brother Am brosius. The three remained together till the year l5l8 when the two sons made Journey to Basle at that time city of learning and culture.
 In Basic lived Jacob Meyer, who became Hans most powerful md influential pa tron: n man who, though great during his life. Is now remembered through the fact great Holbeln and 10 have sat to him for n portrait. Thus it is that Fortune's wheels turn round.
 In the year 1526 Hans Holbeln, with letter of introduction to Sir Thomas More, speaker of the English House of fortunes in n strange land Sir Thomas met him with a cordial welcome and ln- troduced the talented young painter to many prominent men of the day, who sat to him for portraits Hans also made many sketches of the members of the

Babes in the Barnyard.

Trot, trot trotl It was the four soft paws of Trinket, the baby puppy, that nnde the noise. He was going down to the barnyard to ascertain what all those awful noises coming from there meant
 Each day since he had begun to prick up his little silky ears to listen to sounds he had heard those peculiar noises from the barnyard, and he had determined to investigate the cause at the first oppor- tunity. And this morning the opportun- ity had come. Bobby and Fanny, his young master and mistress, had taken Trinkets mother to town with them, and Trinket would be alone for half the fore noon.

 But Trinket was curiosity to some one else, if not to himself. That some one was Bulger-the baby. He was a fellow 10 months old, who talked in a language all his own. But his mamma pretended to understand what he meant when he said 'Dad-dad" and "Goo-goo."
 Maybe she did.

 Well, when Bulger reached the place in the path where Trinket was making himself m ther conspicuous over the bug, he stopped to look wide-eyed at the black many-legged Insect crawling along. Now Bulger was not hungry, but-what do you suppose he did2 Why, he reached out his fat right hand and made q grab at Mir Black Bug, opening his mouth the while to receive il.
 But MT. Bug, with all the wisdom of his kind, elapped his sharp-pointed legs round one of the soft fingers that hugged him and set his nippers Into the flesh.

 But Bulger had to live and learn.
