but that on the 10th day of June, 1908,
without any petition therefor from

or right To be heard BY the orators,
the following resolution was passed by
ident Of the board OF aldermen:

yenience and necessity of indiYid-
uals demands it, to have said por
tion of Main street as paved, in
accordance with the provision of
the city charter and city ordi-
nances.
The said resolution purports to have
been adopted by the city council June

day by the mayor; that the city eoun-
ell. by resolution, did not order and
direct the street commissioners to cause

venience and necessity of individuals
demanded that said street, or a portion

Caprlces of Disraeli.

In one Of his books Of biographical
"reminiscences Augustus J. C. Hare
gives the following illustration of the
caprices Of Disraeli:
One day while dining out a lady Of
fered him the mustard.
IL never take mustard" replied the
statesman In his sepulchral voice.
"Oh. don't Your replied the lady.
NO" continued Dizzy" In his most
solemn tones. There are three things
I have never used. have never touch
ed mustard, I have never had watch.
and have never made use of an UNI
brella."
WELL" replied the lady. II can IN
derstand the mustard-that Is a mere
matter Of taste-but surely going with
out the other things must have been
sometimes rather inconvenient:'
And why should want them?" con-
tinued Disraeli. Il live under the shad-
ow Of Big Ben, and there Is clock In
every room Of the house Of commons.
SO that cannot possibly require a
watch. and as l always go about in a
closed carriage l can never want an
umbrella"

and stepped briskly toward the dining
room.

Ter. 1T was all very well when your
ankle was bad. But It Is as sound as
ever now. You don't look ut all pretty

The man or woman suffering from
nervousness should seek the compan-
ionship Of healthy persons free from
nervousness. The meals ought to be
eaten very slowly. All ordinary ny
gienic rules are to be obeyed. Will ex-
ercises are good. The nervous person
must, to use figure Of speech. spring
out Of the warm. nervous bed and
plunge into the cold bath Of effort.
The thing he breads doing Is the very
one he should do. One excellent plan
for nervous men and women Is to at
tend n good theater and watch the de-
meanor OF some self possessed actor or
