Some famous stories are being reviv-
ed Chester A. Doyle,-not Conan

rounds Is the following: Doyle saun-
tered into a cafe one evening, looking

but sleeping in chair, perhaps lit
tie the worse for wine, was we'll
known townsman. Others entered the
cafe and certain conversation ensued

We're gently returned to the shoes and

, awakened and invited to the bar to
partake of refreshment. Smiling, he
raised his body from the chair sud
denly a subdued but startled cry came

, feet refused their function. I'm para

chair, look of terror in his eyes. 1t
was suggested that he have doctor

observe that certain of our city
fathers in their desire to economize'
seem to be guided by as much judgment
in their slashing, as a bull is guided in
his conduct in a china shop. Some
nights ago various raises in salaries
were effected. Among one of the cuts
wire effected Among one of the cuts
was that of an item of $3.50 a month to
$125 a month. This cut was not made
because of any incompetence on the
part of the victim, for the man had
been in service of the government for
many years. 1t was made simply be-
cause somebody had to suffer.
In my opinion that cut was simply
outrageous. The man in question has
a large family to support and $3.50
month is little enough to enable any
family to be cared for That $25 taken
from him is equivalent to taking the
money from the mouths of his family
This is only an illustration of the long
cared judgment displayed by some peo-
pie, when in power. In this connection
it may be stated that at least one OF
the raises was for an employee VINO
had no family to support, and in no
way had the demands upon him that
the particular victif that I mention
had. And he was raised $25 month";
In other words Peter who had tamily
was robbed to raise the salary Of Paul
who had no such obligations If this
is to be a type of the legislation that
our supervisors propose to give, l have
grave fears for the wisdom of their
administration.

am of the opinion that Rose Davi-
son, the Humane officer, will have a
big job before her-especially with hack
horses. The condition of some of the
horses that are sent out, is shameful.
Even the drivers have complained
about it and 1 am inclined to the be-
lief that they would welcome even ar
rest, if it caused the offending stable
men to supply them with better horses
But Miss Dawson is adopting a con-
ciliatory policy She first warns Of

she will take steps to enforce the law
by arresting them. Thus far no Sc
