With its soft golden hair,
In the top cradle place instead
The funny. furry bear.
The sweet-faced doll is dead and

And passed unto its rest,
And ugly Bruins cuddied now
To little mothers breast.

chestnut trees. twelve in number, has
been set across the front. and the
shrub beds have been mulched. The
work of widening the streets. building
cross streets, etc, is now going on. An
innovation in time-honored custom
was proposed at the meeting Of the
city council last evening. and unal-
i.n"usly adopted.
For many years it has been the Gus
tom for the mayor, on closing his

posed that the cost of such a suppe.
be taken from his salary, and con-
tributed to the park fund as Il cOntri-

cor,iance with this decision Mayor
Hanson has ordered from the land
