BROTHERS BRIGHT sUeGEsr1oN.

One cold winter night as we were all
sitting around the fire, we heard faint
cry at the door. I ran to open it and
there stood a poor little dog, his fur
frozen stiff. I picked him up and laid
him in shawl on my lap. He screwed
up his forehead until it was full Of
wrinkles. I knew he was a tramp dog
SO I decided to keep him. I laughed
every time he screwed up his forehead
because he looked like an old man.
did not know what to name him, but
my brother said, "Why not call him
wrinkles 80 I thought it good idea,
and he was christened "Wrinkles.'

NOTICE.


Montpelier, VT. june /, 1906
This circular is to give notice that,
notwithstanding the circular Of May Is,
1906, signed by Harry w Whitcomb,
and notwithstanding the patent right
suit instituted by him against our firm,
we are still supplying our customers
with polishing wheels and parts of the
same, and taking care OF all patent
right suits that any person may see
tit to bring against as.
No person need have any fear of any
patent right polishing wheel suits, as
this is not the first one that has been
brought Said Whitcomb brought one IN
April. 1897, and the same has been
pending in court ever since, as the in
stigator Of it has never seen fit to
do anything with it, and customers arc
in no more danger now than they have
been in the past nine years. Moreover
we viii defend and take the conse-
quences Of any patent right suit result
ing from the use of our polishing wheel
or scrolls.
Our newly patented machine for turn
ing the scrolls OF our polishing wheel
(the only one of its kind ever made)
enables us to put on The market q pol
isfing wheel far superior to anything
else Of les kind. and TO sell them at
the same price MS those Of inferior
grade. We expect to retain exclusive
control of this machine and to continue
TO produce the best polishing wheel ever
made, with no advance in price.
Thanking our customers for past or
ders, we solicit your patronage for the
future.

A CITY ITS OWN CONTRACTOR.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Does It's Own Paw
ing, Curbing and Sewer Building.

The city u Minneapolis, Mimi, does
all of its own street cleaning and spfink-
ling, garbage collecting, street grading,
street paving, curbing, sewer digging
and sewer building, says the Elevator
Constructor. Each Of the thirteen wards
OF the city has street commissioner
appointed by the council at h salary
Of 5000 year, whose duty it Is to
see that the streets are kept clean
In 1856 the city began to dig and build
its own sewers In 1889 il began to
do all of its street paving under the
superintendent OF the city engineer.
Since then all Of its street construction
has been done by day labor employed
Z by the city, but it buys all Of its paw
ing material. The cost of the paving
is assessed against abutting property.
-Four years ago the city put down five
blocks Of asphalt paving, The city en-
gineer bought the asphalt from the Bar
Der Asphalt Paving company and then
hired its gang OF workmen To put the
pavement down. That pavement is as
good today as ever it was, and it is
the only asphalt paving in the city that
has stood the test. Not much asphalt
paving Is used In Minneapolis. The
principal paving used is crcosoted wood
en- blocks, brick, sandstone and macad-
am.
The city Is now proposing TO buy its
own quarry and machinery and furnish
its own crushed rock, and to put in its
own creosoting and aphalt plant.
Minneapolis has il population Of ae2,-l

When Major Murphy gets out CAM
paigning the people will want to know
about the claim of ex-Supt Bickford
amounting to about $4,000 for his al
legged services in that office during the
years 10000. Before Boss Murphy
would consent to Bickford's renomina-
ton for superintendent four years ago
he made the latter sign an ironclad
agreement to appoint Murphy's sister,
in-law as deputy and divide the salary
of the Office with her Bickford was
defeated by Miss Flora Frost at the fall
election in 1902 by nearly thousand
votes. Notwithstanding Miss Frost's
big majority, Bickford. after much urg-
ing upon the part of Boss Murphy, fin
ally consented to contest the election
of Miss Frost, claiming that she was
resident of the state of Minnesota
at the time of her election and there
fore ineligible to hold the Office Bick-
ford kept the case in the courts until
Miss Frost retired with disgust and
moved out of the state. Miss Margaret
DAILY, sister-in-law of Murphys, was
assistant superintendent under Bick-
ford and the major was, of course,
very anious to retain her in office as
long as possible-hence the contest.
During the years 10000 Miss Daily
performed the duties of superintendent
of schools without Bickford's help,
and it is not claimed that the latter
ever paid any attention whatever to
the routine work of the Office. During
the whole Of these two years Bickford
was engaged In the banking business
at Bowbells, and very rarely made
Minot a visit. The county commits
sioners refused to pay Bickford for his
alleged services, and he brought suit
against the county in the district court
The case is still pending. and the out

Lee was to have no opposition this
