The Placed Person on the Legislators.
 It took me back--how 1t took me

It took me back--how 1t took me
 The Piacid Persons voice had in 1t soupcon of emotion that startled ms ms hearers. who at once inquired why the convention of the Legislature. in which he had never held a seat. should take nim back or forward. or sidewise. 9r anywhere else. locally or anatomaticai-
 Yes, 1t took me back" he contin- ned. now again possessed of his placi. das. ,oot me esssttTs ssis S my gnot fnHo tne daAS--are called Solons, and they wear frock-taii coats and very. serious ex- pressions: but all the legislators were to the reassembl.ng of school in the consulship of Plancus
 There were the old boys ostenta- places. lounging over their desks and telling jejune stories at which tney laughed immoderately. 1 half expect were the new boys. shy, in trepidation' lest they should appear raw. yet rear fui they might be fresh TAere. was the serious hoy who was going to do day about his child-labor hnl and his stock law and his bill to prevent the sale of malt. vinous or spirituous liq- there was--weil. they were all here House or Senate. plain or liver wing. T they; ;:;o, were boys; pss and it took me back
 One in the audience fancied he heard an evanescent sigh as the Placid Per son moved away; but his fancy was de- nied him bv his more faithful com panion.
 Cold Weather saves Fruit.
 "A vote of thanks should be tender ed the weather people for the pros weather" was remarked by man on the street corner yesterday. as he ad- 1usted his oyercoat collar more closeiy have enjoyed the prolonged spell of bright warm weather. but for this time of the year we all know It Is entirely unreasonable. and We Will sur ies are afloat as to the results of the warm weather. I heard the other day nf man who picked strawberries from al localities the peach trees are bloom ing. and in many places flowers which are not supposed to bloom before March are full of buds. and. m some cases blooming. If the warm spell of wealth CT should continue much longer. the re- suits would be disastrous for the country and is striking example or things are not always the best things"
 Ready Sale for City Bonds. T hope. and have no reason not to will have as ready. sale this year as they had last" said Mayor W. M. Teague yesterday. ter the first of March were sold at 102 1-2 which is a good price; Every one of them was bought by citizens Of intimation from former purchasers they are willing to take more bonds this year. I expect the same prices will be paid at approximately, par for an advance of 2 1-2 for those issuing after the first of March
 .The city has no better investment to oter The bonds dsr bear interest hacsa as tby by the city, and by the owners of the properties on the streets paved. l ex- pect the same demand for them will prevail this year.
 Senate Action is Unusuai.
 Tt Is some what unusual, not to say almost unheard of. said man posted to move indefinite postponement of an executive message. An executive mes sage can only be considerd in execu- tive session An exeeutlve messaEe pointed to office, whose nominatlon must be confirmed to the senate. While the chair yesterday properly held the
  in order, still the postponement to definite time in this case will no dounr accomplish the same purpose. as II goes to a day beyond the present Gov- ernor's term of office.
