Tender Hearted Warriors.


Templar degree. Mr.. Blades now has |
a variety of regal costumes for lodge |
work. also a handsome costume for !
street parading.
The latter includes a gold laced coat. !
gold shoulder strapped. a chappeau
with a Maltese cross worked in gold
and surmounted by wavy ostrich
plume. which is much more expensive
than Mr.. B. could afford to buy for his
wife's Gainesborough.
But the GROWING piece of art, the
cIimaxer, in Mr. Blades makeup is a
handsome sword carried in a fancy
scabbard. and held on his person by
a gold stitched leather belt
Mr.. Blades is certainly picturesque
in his warlike costume. Yet he is not
so dangerous as he looks. IN truth,
he is a genuinely gentle and tender
hearted man, so tender hearted that he
wouldn't even Kill a cat.
Pete Pinckard is in the same class
with, Mr.. Blades. Pete is one of the
big bugs in the Knights of Pythias
order Uniform Rank. Pete, like Mr..
Blades. also wears a snowy regalia and
carries a sword
In public Pete brandishes his sword
so aggressively that it gives him
ferocious, even a blood-thirsty look.
Yet, like Mr.. Blades ne is really
tender hearted man, so much so, that
he won't kin the chickens for the sun
day potpie dinner. His wife has to
chop their heads off.
Mr. Angora Katz is in the same boat
with Messrs. Blades and Pinckard. Mr..
Katz is a Woodman and struts around
with an ak in the lodge room and in
street parades But despite Mr.. Katzs
dexterous, even graceful AK fOurishing
in public, his wife has to split all the
kindling at home
\ Whimsical Contributor.
A contribution for foreign missions
was taken up al the Zion church Sun
day night. The largest giver was Sid
Slowtracks, who donated $40. In eX-
plana ton Mr.. Slowtrack said that if he
gave the same amount to home mis-
sions he feared that some of it would
be wasted He couldn't stand seeing
money wasted at home, SO he gave it
to foreign missions. His mind would
be relieved, for he would never know
whether it was wasted or not.

Oppose Street Paving.
The proposed asphalting of Hay Press
avenue from Broadway to the city linn
it's was discussed at a special meeting
of the council Tuesday night.
Property owners along the street are
opposed to the boulevarding, particu
larly so by special assessment; viz, a
their expense. If the street is to b'
asphalted they want the cost to come
out of the general fund.
The spokesman of the DIRECTORS was
Carl Kastoff, our popular hog buyer
who said: LAS soon as the street il
paved every scrub driver of a deliver!
wagon, a hay wagon or a manure wa
gon will steer for Hay Press avenue
because of the fine wheeling. In ad
dition the roller skating kids, who ar
already a nuisance on our cement side
walks, will make a rink out of TIL
street"
Mayor Watson consoled Mr.. Kastof
by remarking that improvements hav
their drawbacks, just as non improve
ments have some compensations. Hi
Honor then related Josh Billings IA
nous saying that tight boots have on
compensation-they make the wearer
forget the rest of their troubles.
Mayor Watson advised Mr.. Kastot
and the DIRECTORS ne represented t
wear tight boots in case the counci
: finally decided TO asphalt Hay Pres
avenue Mr. Katson protested that hi
constituency didn't object so much t
the tight boots before the street wa
, paved-it was the tight boots after
wards which the residents would hav
, to wear when the street was infeste
with hay and manure haulers and Xxi
skaters
