the property owner, however, de-
sires to build his own walk he
must do so before the contractor
gets to his piece of property, as
the work will not be allowed to
drag in any particular, each
street where walks are ordered
being finished as fast as the
workmen can do the work. How
ever. we do not think any prop
erty owner can build his walk ac-
cording to specifications as cheap
rs the city can.
Unless otherwise ordered by
the committee on streets and all
leys, the walks built in the resi-
dence section of the city will be
twelve inches out from the prop
crty linc.
Payment for sidewalk built
will be due as soon as the work
is completed and accepted by the
committee on streets and alleys.
If the property owner does not
pay for his work when completed
and accepted by the committee
the committee will report the
cost to the city clerk, whose duty
it will be to certify the cost to
the county clerk as taxes against
the property, together with a
penalty of twenty-five per cent.

THE CONTRACT IS LET.

The council met in adjourned
session last Monday night, and
in addition to performing some
routine business, let the sidewalk
contract.
The lowest bidder was the
firm of Shaw g. May of DeKalb,
ILL.,, who agree to do the work
for lie per square foot. The bid
was accepted, and the clerk was
instructed to notify Shaw d May
that their bid had been accepted.
that the council required a bond
of $4,000 for the faithful per-
Torrance of contract, and to get
ready to enter into contract at
once.
The mayor was instructed to
have the city engineer set the
grade stakes for the proposed
walks at once, to the end that the
work may be rapidly pushed.
About these walks: The prop
erty owner can, if he desires,
build his own walk, but he should
let the city do the work for the
reason that the city can build it
for him cheaper than he can do
it himself. Again the property
owner might do a job of work
which would not be accepted, as
nothing but first class work is
going to be accepted by the COM
mittee on streets and alleys. If

of Sir Francis Burdett, but added the
name of her maternal grandfather to
her own in 1887. She used her vast
wealth in building schools, churches
and model tenements, in endoWiug bish-
Oprics in Cape Town, Adelaide and
British Columbia, in restoring waning
industries and in assisting deserving
immigrants 1t is estimated that dur
ing her life she gave away fully five
million dollars. In 1881, when she was
81 years old, she married Mr.. William
Lehman Ashmead- Bartlett, born an
American, but naturaliZed as an En-.

Mr.. Ashmead- Bartlett assumed the

AS there is no royal road to learning
terial success in life. All the success
full men give out prescriptions for the
attainment Of wealth or other things
to be desired, but these prescriptions
succeed save in a few cases. Most men
remain poor in spite Of them. The ad.
vice of successful cnen is usually as use
less as it is platitudinous. This is be-
cause it Jumps all men together, where
as every man is a case by himself. Here
is E. H. Hartman, for instance, max
ing public the secret Of his success. II
just attend to business" he says; that
is how 1 succeed. Anybody can do the
same Yet all of us know hundreds
Of men who, though they attend to
business as faithfully as they can, are
not successful even in modest way.
They toll early and late, they neglect
no honest effort, yet they live and die
failures so far as material success is
concerned. Mr.. Harriman's system is
thus Intellectual with respect to large
proportion of men, and he seems to
realize it, for he goes on to amplify
and qualify his advice very materially.
Il keep in touch with matters in which,
| am concerned he says, land meet
the turn in events at the proper time.
Any man of reasonable intelligence
with ability to appreciate the golden
opportunity and seize it will succeed
in his endeavors' This puts very diff
ferent complexion upon it. Attention.
to business alone will not suffice. The
aspirant for great things must also
meet the turn of events at the proper
time; he must seize the golden OppOr-
tunity and know when to seize it.
Assiduity must be supplemented by
qualities which are not common to all
men. And it is in these qualities that
success resides. Successful men who,
like Hartman, give advice to those
who wish to emulate them would do
better if they put the matter another
way. They should say that men can
not succeed without energy and indus
try, but they should not assert that
those qualities alone will command
success. For the truth Is that success
in material things is often the result
of qualities which are not entirely adj
mirable, even though they are rare.
AS for success in matters not material
it can be attained by every one. A man
may live all his life in poverty to die
rich at last in those things which can
not be bought for money. This is sue
cess which can not only be deserved,
but which can be commanded.

WAY TO CURE A COLD.
Simple Home Remedies VIII Often
Break Up the Attack.

Simple Home Remedies VIII often
Break Up the Attack.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to catch a cold. One does imprudent
things and next thing finds ones self
in possession of or rather possessed by
a horrible attack Of grippe.
AS rule the simplest remedies for
a cold are the surest. There is nothing
for carrying off the congestion like a
hot bath, hot drink and a good sweat.
Do this At night.
Another etficaciOus method is to snuff
up warm salt water. But one must not
go out right after this & the cold will
be aggravated.
If it is a tight cold in the head rub
the bridge of the nose thoroughly with
vaseline at night. This simple remedy
sometimes works like a charm.
1t is Of the utmost Importance during
a cold to keep the system from becom-
ing clogged. The old, senseless maxim,
Feed cold and starve a fever is re-
sponsible for many bad compilations
and prolonged colds. The proper meth
cd is to eat very lightly and even par
TALLY fast.
Rub little camphorated cream on
the chapped lips and nose. If there are
fever sores moisten a little powdered
boraX and apply. For the aching limbs
a good rubbing with alcohol or spirits
of camphor is excellent.
If necessary to 90 ont next morning
rub the body vigorously with alcohol
and Turkish towel before venturing
forth. 1t is Of the utmost Importance
to avoid getting chilled after the hot
bath.
If you will use plenty of stewed
fruit in your diet. eat fresh figs, drink
hot water on arising and before meals
and take nine or ten glasses of water
during the day you will be taking the
best possible measures to get rid of a
cold

and is a good dancer, she earns at least
500 or $25, and often more. From the
writer's point of view the shop work,
even with it's low wages, is preferable
to the life of the chorus girl, which is
anything but beer and skittles; but to
those who only see the glare Of the foot
lights and hear the music of stage life.
the chorus opens up a sort of perpetual
fairyland to their mental vision De
spite the hard work and the hardships
which form part of the chorus girls
life, there is undoubtedly a fascination
in it and few that have once entered
upon it care to desert it for other work.

Comparatively speaking, what an af-

stroyed.

AIIurements of the Chorus Prove
More Attractive than Store Jobs.
A New York paper recently contained
an article upon the growing difficulty
OF securing help for the large depart
ment stores, and the writer of this ar
ticle wondered where all the men and
girls who only couple of years ago
stood in line to apply for work at these
very stores from which the complaints
are now coming have gone, says Harriet
Quimby in Leslie's Weekly. Hotels
are complaining about the scarcity of
maids and of walters, and there is the
everlasting wall about the lack of
household servers. Do they vanish into
thin air? Not at all. The secret Of
their mysterious and steadily increas
ing disappearance is solved. They go
on the stage. The hundreds of musical
comedies playing in New York and
throughout the country swallow up
these girls and men by the thousands.
There are at present being produced In
New York alone twelve musical plays,
in which from 100 to 200 girls are en-
ployed in the chorus, and at the hippo
drome 400 or 800 girls and several hun
dred men find constant employment.
One reason of this stampede to the
footlights is that it means more money.
Few girls in shops earn more than $40
a week, and the great majority earn
considerably less, while the homeliest
kind Of a chorus girl commands at
