''The real simon pure" is one of those
phrases which every one understands
and not one in hundred could account
for. Simon Pure was Pennsylvania

The Most Curious Known A,

The Most Curious Known Animal.
The most peculiar and remarkable
animal in the world is the Ornithoryn-
chus paradoXus, the famed egg laying
mammal of Australia. 1t is shaped like
an otter, has fur like beaver, is web
footed like swan, has bill like a
duck and a tail like that of a fox. 1t
is the only known fur covered creature
that lays eggs. A corresponding odd
ity among feathered bipeds would be a
bird that brought forth its young alive.

but the omcials are trying to get a

with the oficlals, insist that they are
in the right over the controversy.
If meeting can be arranged this

also attend the night meeting at
which the Wheeling Greek and Lanss

new auto Law
WAS DRAFTED.
couNcILMEN ROBINSON is THE
FATHER OF THIS AS WELL.As
OTHER NEW MEASURES.

Although there is an ordnance in
effect governing the actions of auto.
mobiles in the city, that ordnance, IN
the opinion of Mr.. Robinson, is faulty
in the matter of conduct on the streets
at times when funerals are passing,
SO in order to remedy the defect MIR.
Robinsonts motion that the city solicit.
tor prepare an ordinance to cover the
question was speedily passed.
Mr.. Robinson secured some other
measures that will be beneficial to
the city's welfare. Among them was
one directing the Fairmont Gas and
Light Company to lower all their
taps, which are high enough above
the surface Of the sidewalks to cause
pedestrians to stumble over them.
There Is thought to already be an
ordinance in effect authorizing the wa
ter commissioner to keep all the wa
ter taps within proper bounds and
with the fixing of the gas taps the
sidewalks will be in fairly good condi
ton. Especially will this be true wnen
another Of Mr. Robinson's measures
goes into erect authorizing the prop
erty owners to keep their sidewalks
in the. best possible repair.
The FairInont and Clarksburg Trac
ton Company will be notified to reln
