BOARD OF FINANCE
city's Money Will Draw More
 Interest For Two Years.

| The board of finance met yesterday afternoon and approved the bonds of | city officials laid over at the previous
 meeting The Manufacturers National
 bank was designated as the city's
 banking firm for the next two years,
 the rate of interest to be paid on de- posits being ? 10-16, as against 29-16 received from the Colonial Trust Co during the previous administration. The action of the board of health
 with reference to salaries of the off cers under the jurisdiction of that
 board was tabled. X communication was read from Collector Reeves re- garding the method of depositing money collected by him, which was satisfactory to the board. The board talked on the advisability of demand ing surety company bonds from all officials, but it was decided not to do so at this time Commissioner McElll- gott called attention to the much talked of question of keeping book in the office of the city clerk showing wien rate payers settle with the eel lector so that in case of differences of opinion when people lose or mislay receipts there may be some source of reliable information open to the peo- pie other than the collectors book, which may not be accessible to rare payers on all such occasions. The only argument that can be used against this is that it would make aa- ditional labor for the collector of tax es and the comptroller, and of cousse this is something that no board cares fn do

GRATEFUL SISTERS
All Who Assisted at the Fire and the Public X. Generally Thanked.

\ The superior and companions of the Sisters of Charity of St Thomas par ish, who were burned out on Sunday
 are very grateful to the public in gen
 eral for the sympathy and aid which
 they have received. They are espe-
 ciallyl thankful to the firemen who
 performed such good work at the time
 of the fire and the men of the parish
 who rendered such excellent service l during and after the fire.
 Since the fire the sisters have been offered five private residences and two houses as places where the sisters could make their homes. Two of the above families who offered their homes were even willing to vacate the prem. | ises and to find homes elsewhere for themselves. After the fire the sisters went to the home of the Sisters of Charity of the Immaculate ConceptIon I parish on Cole street, where they were ! received with open arms The sisters of Notre Dame also offered to give the sisters home until such time as they were able to get back in their own home.
 Rev Father Sullivan, the curate or the parish, who is now in charge did everything possible for the sisters and has now secured for them private house on North Main street where the sisters will be found until such time as they are able to get back to their own home. Many from outside the parish sent their regrets and eXtenu- ed their hospitality to the sisters early on Sunday. This probably was due to the fact of Father Slocum speaking about the fire to his congregation at the early masses.
 The action taken by Sheridan coun- cil in going to the relief of the sisters is to be commended, and to these and all the rest who assisted and offered assistance by word or deed is the sll- perior and her companions thankful.

"Thy gentleness has fnAde me great" :"
II God should COME In his mighty
strength and power upon us we would
be overwhelmed; we would dispair, says
Henry Foster, In Life's Secrets, for we
could not endure such exhibitions Of
himself; II he comes to us and puts be-
fore us the sternness of his truth and
righteousness, we shrink before 1t. But
he does not come In that way; instead
of presenting himself as a mighty God
moving the forces Of this world and
the heavenly bodies; Instead of coming
and presenting the majesty and glory
Of himself before us, he comes as d
mother TO the child, touching us when
We are weary with the gentle touch Of
a caressing hand and d loving heart;
breathing sweetness into the soul and
giving to us peace, gentleness and love;
breathing courage and hope, and de-
veloping patience such as his own; and
finally by his grace lifting us up unto
himself. tits by this gentle manifes-
tation Of our God that we are made
great; we do not come into this great
ness by any great exhibit Of our power,
wisdom, or our own strength. That is
not true greatness; but our greatness Is
in coming into the mind and spirit'of
Christ, In being made ''partakers of the
divine nature" and SO breathing the
air Of heavenly purity. That is our
greatness.

"Have you lost anything, madam"
asked the polite fioOr-walker of the
square-jawed, austere-lOoking shopper
who stood before the ''lost and found"
window Of the large department store.
Eyes. sir" she replied. "I've lost
one hundred and fourteen pounds Of
husband, in a light brown suit, with
black derby hat, small tuft Of hair on
its chin and frightened look. I lost
1t in crush at the fancy counter. It's
probably wondering through the build

perhaps you could find 1t easier than

Onions are an excellent cure for
s!eeplessness. They act ~ kind OF
soporific II taken In small quantities
before retiring. They will be found to
be more appetizing II finely chopped
up and laid between two thin waters or
biscuits. Eaten In this way they are
easily digested. The reason so many
people complain Of onions disagreeing
with them Is that they eat too much
Of the homely vegetable. Onions are
not intended to be eaten EN- masse.
When they are taken raw they should
be thoroughly niastIcated, or, better
still, the Juice of the onion should be
pressed out and taken ON bread OF as
sauce. In this form the onion is
splendid for, liver complaints and acts
in consequence as a purifier for dark
and muddy complexion.

The wind-stacker attached to nearly
every threshing machine In this
country has undoubtedly proven a
labor-saving device. 1t drives the
straw, ctaff and dust from the machine
In an effective manner and unless the
wheat is damp, which is seldom the
case, there is no difficulty in blowing
out whatever entefs the tube. Still
this modern adjunct can hardly be said
to be stacker In the true sense. AL
though 1t was claimed for 1t at the
time of Its introduction that it would
build more substantial stack than
could be made by hand this has scarce.
ly been verified by performance With
the best Of operators the wind-stacker
makes pile in the shape Of low
broad cone and in the hands of the less
skillfull 1t leaves heap which will
not turn rain or live stock. AS labor
sayer it is success, but as stacker 1t
is not and the fnan who employs one
will lose whole lot Of good feeding

Joy In the nerrt.

The best thing about happiness Is
that 1t can be carried with US into any
life, If only we choose
to hold to ii. True Joy, that which
flows from unseen fountains, is not be-
yond our reach, be our environments
what they may. 1t laughs at poverty,
sickness and helplessness, but 1t can be
attained only by q close walk with
God.
1 stood one time, says B. g. Moo
NOW, by the couch of a poor woman
who had been speechless and helpless
for nineteen years. In all that dreary
length of time she had not left that
bed, except when lifted from 1t: She
could not make single movement, ex-
cept to turn her head from side to side,
or write her wishes and thoughts upon
slate. She had not a relative in the
world, nor any of the worlds goods.
Nevertheless; the face OF that poor
woman was like the face Of an angel.
There was brightness radiance, an
overfiowing JOY gushing from every
feature which glorified 1t. It was the
happiest face ever saw. We do not
have to look far to- find the secret Of
such abounding rapture. 1t was 'sthe
peace of God which passeth all under
standing" 1t was 1.-THE joy unspeaka-
BILE and full Of glofy.n 1t was the
heart-to-heart comfort s.as mother
comforts her child.n This peace is

An instructor in certain boys
school is noted among his pupils for
his difficult examination questions.
One of the youthful students after
struggling over particularly strenu-
GUS list Of questions In geography,
came upon the following query, which
completely stumped him.
"Name twelve animals OF the polar
regions?"
The youngster scratched his head,
thought hard for many minutes, and
finally, under the spell of a sudden In
spiration, wrote:
"Six seals and six polar BEARS"

his pupils cleverness that he marked

rHR Cuban imbroplio is a mys-

THE Cuban imbroglio is mys-
terry to most people but to us it is
as plain as sin. The sugar trust
desires to have Cuba annexed so it
can get raw cane sugar into the
United States free of duty. This
would force our Colorado growers
to do business Oh the cheap Cuban
standard and If they will not do
this they will have to quit growing
beets. The trust would benefit,
for it could then sell the cheap
