There Is an s-year-old boy in Emporia
with o heart in him as big as q mans,
rays a Kansas exchange. Observing fol
successive dsgs another boy 8 years eid
carrying big bundles Of clothes, which hil

for him and her, an idea struck him that
q nice little red wagon would tighten his

and collected $1.60 In nickels, and with
this he bought the little wagon and gave
1t to the washerwoman's boy for q Christ

xENIA's LOSS 100000.
Depressing Experience of an Ohio City
With Municipal Lighting.

In response to an inquiry in regard
to the municipal electric light plant
Mayor Brennan of Ncnia, O., writes as
follows:
The city paid upward of S21,oo0
for IA light plant, and the cost of run
ming the sam was ut the rate of $103
per lamp. The plant was badly run,
the operating of the same being in the
hands of Il committee OF councilmen
who We're inexperienced and, OF course,
drawing no salaries, did not give it the
proper attention. All they got out of
the sale of the works was $1,000. The
city afterward entered into a contract
with Il private corporation, and the
price now paid per lamp is SG3."
Another authority states that the
amount ultimately invested in the
plant was $4,000 and that the loss
when IL was sold, together with the cl-
cess cost Of operation over what tAe
lighting would have cost by contract,
amounted to n.ofc than SDn,0J3; in
other words, that that sum represents
the cost Of the experiment.
