The petals Of the June roses had
fallen, pink carpet all along the edge

down to Simon Pettingilps newly

"NOt another word" cried Mr.. FL

Gerald Blake crept away, with an I'M

scornful blue eyes following him.
Elderslie turned to his wife.
"You were right, my love-" said he.

D and S ask the question How does

In the illustration Of the flags here

in exclusive use. The former code pos

an alterati has been made in the de-
sign and cOlors Of couple of the other
flags, F and L.

An ignorant countryman who saw the
sea for the first time was much i'm
pressed with the effect Of the blue

like to buy gallon to take home to

cents?"
Sure" said the fisherman; and he
disappeared, returning in a few mo-
ments with a jar of water, for which
he received the countryman's 80 cents.
The latter departed with his pur-
chase. Returning later in the day, at
ter the tide had gone out, he gazed in
silent wonder at the water, which had
reached far from the beach.

the F'rench-Rgssian alliance had just
received a serious check by the events
in Manchuria and represented that the
hour was propitious for an armed

means that there will be a sewer
laid in Morris next year.

cleaning Information wherever they
could get it. Some helpful letters
have been received, and the letter
from g. G. Bradbury, an engineer
of wide experience, CT Columbus,
Ohio, was especially replete with
helpful suggestions.
A letter vas also received fro N
Engineer Sublette arguing against
any change in the plans to- dump
the sewage into the old lake, but
after studying the plans carefully,
the committee thought that it would
still be feasible to raise the grade of
the entire system in the principal
part of town aud make no attempt
to sewer certain other parts of town.
At least, this is the question which
will now be put up to the engineers,
