1T NEVER OCCURRED TO HIM
To Cut Weeds Foreign Thought 10
Man who Spends Hours
Protesting.

A philosophic citizen appeared at the
Office of the street department Friday
morning and consulted Clerk Coburn re-
garding a wish he had The wish per-
tanned to the removal of high weeds from
some lots out on Military avenue that
adJoin his cottage. He said he had offered
the owner $3.50 year for the use of the
lots for garden purposes, but the owner
scornfully declined. Now the weeds have
grown tall and gangs of men and boys use
them as lairs In which to rush the can"
and utter obscene words and songs.
The philosophio citizen, being a lover of
decency and peace, decided to ask the
city to cut the weeds. He began on the
ground floor and worked upwards, taking
the most of the morning TO it.
He was told the city had no money to
spend for hacking down weeds and that
the ordinance requiring property owners to
do so was imperative because laborers
could not be found who would wait for
the taxes to be levied and collected from
the landlords. so they could be recompensed
for their toll. Colonel Coburn went over
the whole situation. The philosopher spoke
Of his rights as a citizen and taxpayer. He
said there were several Offices and de-
partments he had not yet visited He pro-
posed TO exhaust all resources. Said Col
onel Coburn:
Has It occurred to you that you might
take scythe and lay all these weeds Low
in the time you are burning up at the
city hall7"
The philosopher looked dazed.
Never has" he admitted. by George
it would be good scheme. Where can
buy a scythe?"
Thus Colonel Coburn rounded out hi
