Make the Children Happy.

We have all seen children who have
had no childhood, The fun-loYing ele-
ment has been crushed out of them.
They have been repressed and for
hidden to do this and that so long
that they have lost the faculty of hav-
ing good time. We see these little
old men and women everywhere.
Children should be kept aildren
just as long as possible. What has re-
sponsibility, seriousness, or sadness
to do with childhood? We Away feel
Indignant, as well as sad, when we
see evidences of maturity, over-seri-
BUSINESS, care, or anxiety, in childs
face, for We know some one has sin
ned somewhere
The little ones should be kept
strangers to anxious care, reflective
thoughts, and subjective moods. Their
lives should be kept light, bright,
buoyant, cheerful full of sunshine, Joy
and gladness. They should be eneour-
aged to laugh and to play and to romp
to their hearts content. The serious
side of life will come only too quickly,
do what we may to prolong childhood.
One of the most unfortunate things
| know of is the home that is not il.
Illuminated by at least one cheerful
bright, sunny face. that does not
ring with the persistent laughter and
merry voice of child.
No man or woman is perfectly nor
mai who is distressed Oh vexed By the
playing of children There was some
thing wrong in their bringing UP if il
annoys you to see children romping,
playing and having a good time-Orr-

ing End Term
Mayors Annual Message

Gentlemen of the Council:
The first monday in May each
year being fixed by law as the date
for beginning the official terms of
nearly all our city officers, and as the
date for the annual organization of
the city council, custom recognizes
it as fitting day for the delivery of
the Mayors annual message.
REVIEW
Two years ago it was my hope that
the floating debt of the city could
be paid off before any more extern
sive improvements should be made,
but the increase of population and
the erection of numerous new build
ings made such insistent demands
for an immediate expansion of the
public facilities of the city that the
administration deemed it advisable
to devote all its resources to the ex-
tension and improvement of all pub
lie works. congratulate the peo-
pie of the town upon the city's
growth iu population and prosperity,
which has made such extension nee
essary. We have not been able to
keep pace with the demand it is true
but the following brief statement of
what we have done during the past
two years will be generally consider
ed, doubt not, by the people of our
town as fair showing.
During the period of two years
the city has constructed 43 cement
crossings and alleys at an average
cost of about $64. 90 each; laid more
than 5000 feet of new water main
