DISTRICT ATTORNEY BILL
STILL IN COMMITTEE

The addition of two members to the
council committee on judiciary today
by President Spiess is being inter-
preted to mean that a necessity has
been found for strengthening the
friends of the district attorney bill on
that committee. Mr.. Spiess explained
to the council when making the ad-
ditions this morning that he did so at
the request Of Chairman Dalies of the
committee, who found himself
swamped with work and who desired
to subdivide the committee SO as to
share that work, In view of the fact
that there are only fifty-three bills
In all before the council, and the fur
ther fact that the committee has held
but one meeting in three weeks, IL Is
pointed out that the committee can
not be greatly fatigued. The work
being done by the judiciary commit
tee Of the house and by its over
worked chairman Mr. Holt, is pointed
out as an example of what commit
tee can do when it really wants to
work Mr.. Holt has not asked for
any additional members for his COM
mittee. although about nine-tcnths Of
The house bills have been referred TO
him BY his speaker; neither has Mr.
Holt subdiyided his committee. and
although his shoulders are said to be
bending under the tremendous weight
of affairs being loaded thereon, It Is
held hat IL he is able to bear up,
alone and unaided. The council com
mittee of five ought to be able to
struggle along.
4 meeting of the council judiciary
committee was held Tuesday night In
the rooms of chairman Dalies. All
members were present save Mr. Cam
eron. President Spiess, of the coun-
ell, was also present. While the pro-
ceedings of the committee, OF course,
are not known, II is reported today
that the district attorney bill did not
come up, and it Is even intimated
that It could not come up because
Of certain scarcity of votes. The
addition made to the judiciary COM
mittee today was made it Is said In
the hope of supplying this scarcity
The confident statements that this
bill will pass Immediately which have
been made every day during The ses-
sion, thus far are not being made
this week. The rumors are TO the
effect that the bill viii be amended In
certain essential particulars and then
passed The fact Of the matter is
however that II this bin should pass
IN any form during this session Il
would be something of "A surprise even
to the best friends of the measure.

did not believe any considerable

account of the jamestown exposition,

seemed to be developing into more of

tanned that the annual consumption of
powder by the American navy was
about 100000 pounds and that 1t
cost the government % cents a pound

boat-house was done he would pay his share.
But when the three months were ended only
eight dollars had been paid. The clock man
happened to come just before they received
their allowance, and, although Don loftiy as.
sured him that he should be able to attend
to the matter now, himself, he went away with
angry threats.
And Don was very cross because Kitty had
been so frightened when she saw him coming
that she had run out to the carriage-house,
where Don was entertaining some friends, cry
ing out:
ooh, Don! the clock man has Gomez"
Don was sure that the boys suspected just
what was the matter
Kitty thought it mattered very little about
the boys; she was afraid that Uncle Phil, who
had very strong views of the evils of getting
into debt. would find out what they had
done.
ooh, he would let us go to Jail before he
would help us" Don said.
"rhe, clock man wouldn't put us in Jail,
would hep said Kitty. turning pale.
in. Probably they'd let you take the poor
debtors oath" said Don, consolingly.
When the first of the month came, and with
it their money, even Don carefully boarded
his to pay their debt
The very rude remarks: of the clock man
evil even to have Jimmy Bellew elected presi-
dent of the boat club than to be in debt.
lIittys affairs were more prosperous. Her
hens had come to a realizing sense of their
duties, and continuous sunshine was ripening
the plums.. And Kitty's. heart began to beat
lightly again as it had done before the clock
mans dark shadow doomed above her horizon.
On the very day when their cousins Dora
and Jack Penniman came from Oxford to
visit them, Don. was taken i'll with that most
unmanly and unbecoming disease, the humps.
As misfortunes never came singly to him,
he, said. he had it on both sides at once, and
sad to say, the dauntless prospective president
of the boat club, doomed to a swollen face
and Cruel was extremely dolefq and cross
cousins devclved upon Kitty.
Although she would have greatly preferred
to stay at home. and soothe Don's affiction
by reading aloud, she was obliged to take
them to drive in the donkey-cart, and a great
drawback to the enjoyment of this occasion
was the fact that Humpty, the donkey, did
not take to Jack Penniman.
When Humpty didn't "take to" people (ths
mild way in which Kitty put it), he was apt
to give very decided expression to his dis
under an unusual display of dociity, he fin
ished by backing the cart down Hobbe Hill,

price thirteen dollars but they were to be
allowed three months in which to pay 1T, and
as Don remarked, "a little more than dollar
a week, divided between two persons, was
nothing to scare fellow"
The clock man asked them a great many
questions about their allowances, and fright
ened Kitty by insisting upon setting Uncle
PhiPs address down in his book, although
she expected to make from her damson plum
tree and her cochin-china hens.
The necessary dollar was produced with some
difficulty from their united forces, and then,
after earnestly advising them to have their
money ready every week, although he might
not get round" oftener than once in two or
three weeks, the clock man raised his hat to
Kitty lat which Don unkindly ieered) and
went his way.
He had promised to deliver the clock, with
card bearing Don and Kitty's names, at
Miss Craig's on the day before the wedding.
Kitty was full of fears before he was out of
sight. She almost wished to call him back
but Don said that nobody but very silly girl
would get so excited over little matter of
business"
Miss Craig's wedding presents, and to be sure
that nothing han0somer had been given by
any one of her pupils; but Kitty gazed at Don
in round-eyed wonder when he said, with quite
grand air, in response to Miss Craig's enthu-
siastlc admiration:
"Oh, it's only triAe that we-bought with
our own pocket-money, you know!"
Kitty didn't feel at all sure that this was
the truth, but she didn't dare to demonstrate
with. Don, because he was angry with her for
coaxing him to make up with Jimmy Bellew,
Miss Craigs nephew, and the incest boy in
Hazelfeld, in Kittys opinion.
She thought it very sad that Don had said
he would never speak to him again, although
he had been his best friend, because he had
taken another boys part in dispute about
a ball game, and had declined to help punch
his head" at Don's invitation.
Fortunately for Don and Kitty, their uncle
had gone away for two weeks, and people
ceased to talk about Miss Craig's presents be-
fore he returned.
The money was all ready when the clock
man made his first visit, but after that things
went dreadfully wrong.
In the first place. the boat club to which
Don belonged was raising funds to build new
boat-house, and, as Don said, ga fellow couldn't
be mean"
He wanted to be elected president of the
boat club. and he didn't mean that Jimmy
Bellew should be, anyway. :.
And he had begun to think that giving pres
ents to teachers, was girls business" The

cheek and breaking the wagon almost beyond

injuries which they and the cart had suffered,
Humpty htted up his resonant voice and his
agile heels, and cayorted joyously across a
nant's woods.
A passing farmer kindly carried them and
the wrecked cart home on his wagon after
they had spent two hours in fritless seaching
and calling for Humpty.
Now see what you've done" cried Don.
Uncle Phil said that if he had to pay any
more damages for Humpty he'd sell him

spair.
How came you to go near Hobble Hill,
anyway, You've been forbidden to often
enough, said Don, with irritation born of
deep disappointment and the mumps.
There were coWs-a whole drove" said
Kitty, whose greatest terror was COW.
''Humnpty doesn't take to them, either" she
added, apologetically.
II always expected you'd ruin me, being
'fraid-cat, and now you've done it," said Don,
cruelty.

"You know he won't! He would send the
bill directly to Uncle Phil, if we didn't pay it.
You'd like to have Humpty sold, would
ycu?
Kitty caught her breath sharply. Let the
clock man do his worst. Nothing could be
as bad as parting with Humpty.
Besides, we've had about enough OF being
trusted" continued Don.
But it won't take all the money" sug-
gested Kitty, seeing another CLEAN of hone.

was worse than it is now"
eff we should have two dollars, perhaps
we could coax, the man off once more" said
Don, doubtfully., But it isn't the kind of
thing that one likes to do. And since YOU
had to holer it out that day in the carriage

Craig win hear that we haven't paid fer the

Kitty.

"Who would buy donkey that's notorious
kicker, and backs so that you have to start

''Besides, Uncle Phil wouldn't let us" said
Kitty, with sigh of relief.

say that he was coming up this way today.

find him."
Kitty waited long time for Don's return,
and when at last she saw him coming, the man
who was with him looked so little like old
Davy Crichett that she could not believe that
he was the clock man.
Davy, who mended clocks for all the country
around, wore large clock on his breast and
his hair in long white curls. This was young,
smartly dressed man, with an astonshingiy
large watch chain. But Don was looking at
a large, Illustrated list of clocks; so. although
he was surprisingly less interesting than Davy
Crichett, this must be the clock man.
He was most affable in his manner and de
ferred very much to Kitty's opinion. There
were some cheaper clocks, which Kitty thought
almost as pretty; but it was finally decided
that they should buy the one with the bronze
Mercury, which Don admired most, although
it cost what Kitty thought quite a frightful
