 -Rumors are afloat here that the young men of this section are about to form club to be known as the Young Mems Democratic club of the third ward. One of the organizers was interviewed this morning and he said that meeting would in all proba- bility be held Sunday. He said the older members would be welcomed. but they would not be sought. It's in tention is to do all in their power to get at least one alderman. The residents of Poplar avenue are very anxious that somtlhing be done in regard to the laying of side walks in that locality. As they see winter approaching. they also see that the conditions will be the same as last year, when the going on the street was terrible. They think that the board of public works should get started before the snow flies and put things in shape there so that walking in winter will not be menace to life and limb.

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Wanted-Good homes for three wee pussy
cats.
Now Aunt Busy has sad story. that is a
really truly story too.
Last week, during a dreadful rainstorm. Aunt
Busy heard the most mournful walls coming from
an alley right near her office. On investigating she
discovered four forlom, drenched little kittens !:
the cutest little kittens ever seen-all solid black.
with real blue eyes.
Aunt Busy is very old very fat and very wise.
but with all age, fat and wisdom never before did
she see ktten-cats with blue eyes. so she became
interested. She gathered the kitties into a basket
and took them to her home out of the rain far away
from cruel boys. and far away from the cruel rainy
world
She gave them milk and taught them how
to lap real cream; she made them nice warm
bed out OF an old sofa pillow and the kitte pussies
sre>happy.
But Aunt Busy cannot keep them because she
has not time TO give them the care that respectable
pussy cats with blue eyes should receive so homes
are wanted for the dear little black kitties One
kitten IS already In good home Aunt Busy said
goodbye to her today and gave her good advice, as
she placed her in the kindly of dear little
friend by the name of Adelaide Earl.
Adelaide has promised Aunt Busy that the kit
ten will be, like the fairies in the fairy stories
happy forever after and Aunt Busy knows that
Adelaide viii always keep her promise.
Still, there are three black kitties left 80 Aunt
Busy hopes that when the Salt Lake nieees read
about them that they will be adopted at once.
Of course, only the Salt Lake nieces can adopt
Them, because Aunt Busy could not possibly send
the poor little things away on tram to the other
nieces, because they would die of fright
Any little Salt Lake niece who is willing to take
a wee black kittie will please write to Aunt Busy
