THE JUNK ORDINANCES
Mayor Ralston Enforces Recent
City Enactments.

Junk dealers in the city must be-
ware in their dealings that they COM
ply with the ordinance restricting
them, as Mayor Ralston made an ex-
ample of Sol Popofsky this morning
and fined him $685. for purchasing junk
from a minor. Louis Ainsbury, a
young boy under sixteen years of age,
appropriated a bicycle which he found
standing in front of the Kalbach lum-
Der yard Monday afternoon, and rode
1t to the Popofsky junk yard where he
disposed of it to the proprietor for
so cents. The wheel belonged to Cur
tbs Barnard and was good one which
he has been riding every day and
was worth dozen times the price the
lad sold it for. When the stolen prop
erty was located and the Ainsbury
boy was found, he was taken before
County Attorney John c. Williams,but
set free on his promise of good be-
havior.
The boy escaped punishment, but
when the matter was reported to May
,or Chas. Ralston he was not satisfied
and had the junk dealer brought be-
fore his presence to answer for
breaking the late city ordinance No
207. and ESPECIALLY sections and s.
which were passed lately, restricting
the purchasing OF junk from minors
without theI writton consent Of their
parents or guardians. Popofsky paid

At the Lake.
She was such dainty maiden!
And her age about eighteen.
She was quite the sweetest charmer
That the chappie boys had seen.
Each one told her OF his longing
In hammock, or a boat
When along some shady shadows.
In dreamland, they would float!
One by one she fascinated
Every man, save one,' who came
Every ehappie. grave, beseeching,
Sought the miss to change her name
All. they told her how they loved her,
How her love for them would grow
But the maiden yearned and waited
And to each one answered. MOI
Just a dozen was her killing
As she left the lake for town
But she wasn't glad nor happy
When the porter helped her down.
She had won dozen chappies
But the one man said her nay
And a dozen doesn't matter,
If the one man gets away!

content TO limit their field of ex-
perimentation to the tangible. wheth-
er living or dead. but would fain ex-
tend their operations TO the un-
fathomed domain of things spiritual.
Isn't II about time TO cry a halt?
Don't it look as though the doctors
were about to transcend the bounds
of their peculiar sphere and invade
the province of the preachers,

With tyranic insistence
Overawing resistance,
They percuss us and look at our
tongue,
They thump us and listen,
To find what is missing
In the gear of our liver and lungs!
with X-Ray they light up
Our "innards" and write up
A thesis thereon. Perhaps when
Their knowledge increases
