One Sign Of Popularity

A large manufacturer in the north
of England put up locally as candi-
date for parliament, but, as he was
very unpopular with his workmen, his
opponent safely reckoned on beating
him easily. When the result of the
poll was made known, however, many
people were surprised to find the dis
liked manufacturer at the top
His opponent felt so curious about
this that he questioned one of his
wOrkmen.
'How is it," he asked, you voted
for your master when you all have
such bad opinion of him?"
"Weel, you see, mon," was the re-
ply, I'VE voted fer i'm SO as he cud
put hisself away in London. We don't
want i'm ere! Answers.

Good Common Law

One of the absurdities of the law
was strikingly illustrated at Shrews-
bury quarter sessions on Friday when
man was charged with stealing a
quantity of lead from the veranda Of
an empty house. The lead, said the
recorder, was attached to the veranda
and thereby became part of the free
hold. AS part of the freehold the lead
was land in the eye of the law. Land
could not be stolen, and therefore the
prisoner could not be convicted Of
larceny. According to the recorder
the only remedy of the owner against
a person taking lead from the roof of
a building is to bring a civil action
for damagesas Truly the law is "a
bass" if it was correctly laid down in
this case.-LendoH Truth.

HopeIessly Mixed

In the early part of the last GEN.
fury there lived in an old New Eng
land town Mr.. Church, who in the
course of his earthly life was bereft of
four wives, all of whom were buried
in the same lot. In his old age it be-
came necessary to remove the re-
mains to new cemetery. This he
undertook himself, but in the process
the bones became hopelessly mixed
His New England conscience'' would
not allow him to use the original
headstones, SO he procured new ones,
one of which bore the following in
scription:
Here lies Hannah Church and prob
abaly portion of Emily
Another:
Sacred to the memory of Emily
Church, who seems to be mixed with
Matilda
Then follows these lines:
Stranger, pause and drop a tear
For Emily Church lies buried here.
Mixed in some perplexing manner
With Mary, Matilda and probably
Hannah

The Meaning of Empire

Here is an eloquent picture of the
British empire in a few sentences.
The king has in Asia more than 300
million subjects; in America 71a mil
lion; in Africa about 43 million; in
Australasia, over million, and in
Europe over AZ million. Classifying
them broadly by religions, there are
208 million Hindus, 81 million Mo-

ligions

The young woman arose hastily
and walked into the other room. "Pa,"
she said, Mr. Smith wants to see
your new gun"
"All right" said the old man, de-
lighted with the chance of showing OFF
his new gun. Taking it from the rack
he stepped into the drawing room.
The young man broke four windows
in getting out, and when last seen
he was still running bareheaded down
the road

Love in a Panic

One Sunday young man called on
his best girl. After they had talked
until they could not think of any
more to say. he declared his intention
OF kissing her. She was very indig-
nant and said she would tell her
father if lie did.
Remembering the old saying that
Faint heart never won fair lady,

Refuses Paving Contract.-Through
Attorneys Sharon & Donegan. the Hy-
draulic Concrete Construction compa-
ny has filed with City Clerk Hugo
MOeller Il refusal to accept a paving
contract awarded to it. The contract
was for the paving of Second avenue
between College and Mississippi av-
enues. The company claims that the
contract is invalid. 1t is alleged, first,
that the city did not comply with the
law in ordering the paving because the
preliminary plat filed was not com
plete. 1t is alleged that it did not
show the whole estimated cost of paw
ing and the parts payable by the city
and the railways together with the
part assessable to abutting property.
1t is further claimed that the notice
was defective in that it did not state,
as nearly as practicable. the extent of
the work and the kind of material re-
quired 1t is also alleged chat the no.
tice reserved to the city the right to
reject ANY and all bids" while the
law gives it the right merely to reject
"all bids The company expresses its
Willingness to bid again if the city
call for bids in the right way. but says
it refuses to accept the present con-
tract by advise of counsel

After over three months of steady

struction company has almost complet-
ed the laying of four and three-quar-
tiers miles of sewer main. including the
stretch ON Ninth strete. which at plac-
es went as deep as % feet in order TO
get low enough to drain all the lines
laid this year in that vicinity. The
company is expecting to complete the
Job by the LIST of September. which
will be well within the range of posi-
bilities if the weather continues clear.
By actual count. sewers have been laid
on little more than so blocks of
streets and alleys. These blocks are
of varying lengths. but they average
considerably more than 400 feet. in
Guiding street intersections. so that
the total length of these new sewers
is fully four and three-quarters miles.
