THE MEANEST MAN.
Has Been found in New Jersey-SeIIs
 UnfertiIe Eggs.

From the New York World.
 Jerseys prize mean man has been discovered in Metuchen. His methods were so novel that family of unsus- pecting and ingenious New Workers were completely taken in. Stirred by a bucolic spirit and the breath of spring, the New Workers moved into t..e suburban village for the summer. Little wifey thought it would be just too sweet for anything to raise their own chickens and get in touch with nature. The accommodating mean man of the town, who lives not far away, heard of this and praised his fine set tings' of eggs to the skies.
 Generous for once, the mean man charged the New Workers only soc for the dozen especially fine eggs, and loaned them a sitting hen for nothing to hatch out nest full of cute little down balls.
 That hen was sitter for fair. She stayed on the job day and night for thirty days. She was carefully watered and fed by hand. It is even said that

BUILDING STREETS.

IL Is no excuse that Grand june
tion should have bad streets because
hundreds of towns of It's size and
many of them double its size in
the eastern section of the country.
have streets many times worse than
we have here.
! The question i are the streets In
this city what might he called bad
streets. Everyon.s knows, who has
that the soil of which the streets are
composed is perhaps as bad as could
be found anywhere.
The present council has done as
much as their restricted means per-
mittcd them TO do. toward meaintain-
ing the streets in good condition.
II is generally conceded that last
fall the streets and alleys of the city
were in far better condition than
they had been in years. notwithstand-
ing the fact that more rain had fall
len during that year than almost ever
before in the city's history. But only
at that time, but in the early part OF
the year the work that had been
done was wiped out by the elements
But there is nothing to be gain
ed by being discouraged and the
street and alley committee of coun-
ell Is attempting to again fill up holes,
level off and cut down streets 10
make them presentable and fit for
use.
Anyway. while we think We are 50
badly Off we are not quite so bad
on as was Pueblo. which had not o
paved street with n population OF
80. 1000 until this year We shall
surely have paved streets long before
we have reached that number Iof
population and until we are able we
must bear and forbear and endeav-
or to maintain the streets as best pos
sibble. under the circumstances.
II we continue to have the precip-
itation that we have had for the past
two years. we may be compelled, ow-
ing to the character of our soil, to
have paved streets much earlier than
we otherwise would. but the cost at
the present time is positively pro-
hibitlve. save perhaps right in the
heart of the business district
In dry weather our streets are
about as good as can be found any
where. II is the wet weather. which
drops the bottom out OF them ligur-
But then there are some few things
we cannot have In this favored coun-
try. If we had fine natural gravelled
streets. we might not have the soil
which would produce the best fruit
on earth. so perhaps. with the hope
always that we can better their CON
dition. it is perhaps reasonable that
we should. be happy under present
