The city council held a regu-.

Der last Monday evening, at:
which DR.. A. T. Horsman was:
appointed health officer for the
city. It was decided also to hold
a special election on August 20,

the council without a dissenting
vote, and the two ordinances
were read for the first time. One
relating to the sale of fire sale
and such other stocks shipped to
the city by transient merchants
who advertise a sale and dispose
of the stocks in this manner. A
new ordinance provides that a
license shall be imposed on such
merchants. The other limits the
sprinkling of lawns to certain
hours in the evening. This is a
good and really necessary ordi-
nance, as some evenings in case
Of fire it is probable that with
the reckless use of water which
is now going on by some hose
users, there would be a scarcity
of that material.
Mayor Whitman was given
permission by the council to con-
meet the city water mains with
those of the Great Northern rail-
road in case of an emergency.
Sidewalks and water mains

CRUELTY IN PERSIA.
Queer Things About the People Of That
Queer Country.

Queer Things About the People OF That
Queer Country.
According 10 the authors OF Queer
Things About Persia" cruelty is COM
mon there. The executloner cuts
throats in n public square, and the
spectacle excltes little interest. Grim
inels are sometimes cruciiied and
sometimes walled up alive. Women
for certain offenses are cast headlong
from tower. The Persian is n GEN
tleman of surprising courtesy and
pollteness. but say these writer's: THE
same man who drops rose petals under
your feet in order to make them avoid
the hardness of the road will not hesi-
tate TO make you suffer the most cruel
fortunes. He delights In the murmur
OF the rivulet IN the moonshne. but
the sound OF blood flowing from an
open wound has also for him its fas-
clnatlon. The singing OF the nlghtin-
gale fills him with rapture in the
night. but he qulvers with pleasure at
the cry of pain from n victim" Also
they affirm that lying is an institution
and no one condemns it. "The Persian
does not consider lie sin. He
thinks that we have n bad opinion of
lying because we 90 not know how 10
lie. and IL he shows an unbounded
confidence in everything the Europeans
say 1t is chiefly because he thinks we
are totally devoid OF the gift"

Never Eorsake 4 Friend.

Whatever happens, never forsake n
friend. When enemies gather. when
sickness falls upon the heart. when the
world is dark and cheerless, is the
time to try true friendship. They
who turn from the scenes of distress
betray their hypocrisy and prove that
interest only moves them. II you have
a friend who loves you, who has stud
led your interest and happiness, be
sure TO sustain him in adversely. Let
him feel that his love was not thrown
away. Real fidelity may be rare, but
it exists in the heart. They only deny
its worth and power who never loved
a friend or labored to make a friend
happy.-Exchange
