 When William Hurley appeared be- fore the board of public works re : garding the condition of the entrance to South Fifth street, he revived a subject which formerly occupied con- siderable attention on the part of the city fathers and others, but the thing dropped out of the public mind and it sounded like voice from the grave when the subject came up again. It is bad spot and yet the trouble could be removed at a modest outlay. The city has been taking money from people who live there for many years and giving them noth- ing in return for it. Why wouldn't this be practical theme for the i'm provement society in that district?

LAST FALL

sWs had an election and if you re- member we said we wouldn't take any stock in any promises made by politicians, and we never shall. And
 why? Because when they get. into
 ofice they'll do just as they "scott" please. If you doubt us, see how
 they are trying to put water meters into every home. What does it all mean? It means fat job for about i've dozen ward heelers to go around reading the meters, and another fat
 job for about half a dozen or more plumbers to keep the meters in re- pair, and eventually 1t means the peO- pie who pay rent will get raise not in wages but in their rent, because the landlord must pay the high water bill, and he in turn will see that the tenant settles the bill. Why has rents gone up the last two years? Because the taxes have gone up; but the politicians told us the taxes would be lower-but are they? Oh, dear, give the politicians the lemons every time, and give the whipping post to those who swear of (January 1st) drinking any kind of intoxicating drinks, but have already broke out. 7 Oh me, oh my, but if those people only knew what happiness there is in the homes where nothing stronger than tea and coffee is drunk (we mean the quality we sell, how much more energy they would exercise. ixeyer mind, there are thousands who do as we. say. aud there'll be more if they buy at

Those
Handy Telephone
Slugs
By Grace Ethelwyn Cody

When Aunt Esther's nephew Mar
shall and his family came to live
with her in her spacious old-fashioned
house, it was like letting a breeze
from the present sweep through a
long-closed room of the past. Mar
shall Eaton's twin daughters were
schoolgirls; their mother was their
chum. Their father was genial
hearted young man, who proposed,
with happy, missionary spirit, to
bring his Aunt Esther up to date.
The first thing he did was to coax
her into having a telephone.
"A nickel phone is what you need,
aunty," he told her you pay five
cents for each call, and you can have
as many as you like, but you're re-
quired to average only two day.
Now we'd keep tabs on our own calls
and pay for them, and it would prob
ably cost you about five cents a day
to use it all you liked"
Aunt Esther doubtfully consented,
and as soon as the telephone was in
place her nephew brought home
hundred of the convenient nickel
shaped telephone slugs, which have
to be redeemed at five cents each
when the collector comes round at
the end of the month He explained
their use to her in detail, and then
the telephone chapter in Aunt Esther's
quiet life began.
Marshall" she said one day at
dinner. when the telephone was about
three weeks old, "our phone is out Of
order, and I don't know what we're
going to do over Sunday. l had to
go over to Mrs. Plummer's and call
up four people from there to-day"
"Four!" laughed her nephew. "Ob.
knew you'd take to telephone like
a duck to water, once you got started

eyes, just like ours.''
'Then you gave her twenty cents?"
"Oh, no. They have slugs just as
we do, and I used four of those
but didn't you pay for the slugs?"
Aunt Esther looked majestic. MY
dear nephew" she expostulated,
those slugs cost one-half cent apiece.
You told me so yourself. Could I offer
Mrs. Plummer two cents for her court
esy?"
20 aunty!" cried the schoolgirl
nfeces in breath; but it was their
mother who finished their remark
''Why, Aunt Esther" she said, those
slugs represent nickel each to the
telephone company, you know"
