But, did you zee how they allowed the circus peo- !ple to bring all their monkeys, snakes, camels, elephants, big wild looking Indians and all their dirty old truck through our nice clean streets right at midday on Sunday? And, oh, how hard all those horses did work pulling and hauling; in fact, they tell us one horse died in his har- ness out on East Main street. And lust think of 1t, on Sunday! And again, did you see all the poor fel- lows how they were working and it pouring rain, but not one word about them breaking the Sabbath. Well, they could break anything that came in their way. Yes, they could break their necks working (and it was un- necessary work. tool but as we un- derstand it the blue laws compel them to rest until midnight But they didn't; they disobeyed our laws.

The town Council met in regular
monthly session last n Monday even
ing with all the membe present.
After the reading and approval of
the minutes of the last meetings,
aud the allowance of few bills,
council suspended che rules and
passed an ordinance transferring
all it's right and title to the north
end OF Elm street, described in or
dinance, to George Milliman, the
present owner of the, lots abutting
on said tract, which had been vaca
ted several years ago but not ac-
cording to statute. Ed Delahoyde,
having sold the land, thinking it
legally vacated, paid the costs of
the above transaction, which made
the title good. This action by the
council settles the matter so far as
thabparticular vacation is concern
ed but is the opening wedge for
other vacations, notably Water and
South Park streets. The removal
of the Powell ice house was dis.
cussed and a motion carried that
Mr.. Powell be requested to give a
bond of 5000, binding hini, to re

Cpie Read and His
Experience In Texas

PIE READ, who recently made a
\ lecture tour through Texas. tells
this story of an experience he
had down there:
You know" says Mr.. Read, Grains
are never expected to be on time in
Texas. When a train Is scheduled to
arrive at s o'clock you are generally
safe in calculating that it will not get
there till II or H. Well, had an en-
gagement in certain town one night
and was at another station about
twenty miles away. There was a train
which would land me at the objective
point at o'clock in the evening, If 1t
happened to be on time, but l thought
it would be well to make inquiries. In
reply to my question the station agent
said:
i reckon there amt no use eXpectin'
the train to get here much before 10
O'clock. It's been on time once this
pendin' on it.
Not being in position to take any
chances hired man with a buggy to
take me across country. After the lee
ture l found a number Of travelling
men at the hotel, and they We're all
anxious to get away. There was a
train scheduled for 7:15 in the morn
ing, but the landlord said he reckoned
it wouldn't be along much before noon
as it had never arrived on schedule
, time or if it had nobody remembered it.
still, we all got up bright and early
| the next morning, none of us being dis
posed to miss the train if it happened
to be on time, and we We're thrown into
| state of great excitement when al
| ITO there was a long toot, heraldine
the trains approach. Everybody hur
| ried down to the station and there
right on the dot of 7:15, the train pulled
in. We were so happy at the prospec
of getting away and so filled with en-
| thusiasm over the engineers achieve
ment in bringing the train through OF
| time that we decided to make up
purse for him. When everybody hat
Clipped in spokesman was appointed
and he went to the cab to present thu
money. After he had made felicitou!
little speech the cash was offered, bu
the engineer pushed 1t away, saying:
Gentlemen, l fully appreciate you
| good will and the generous spirit whicl
has prompted you to make up thi
purse, but cannot accept the money
My conscience will not permit me t.
do it. This is yesterdays train "-Chi
