PARTY NAME STUMBLING BLOCK
Robert Treat Paine, Jr, Says It Him.
 ders Municipal Progress.

Elimination of party names, as in Canada, is the remedy proposed by Robert Treat Paine, Jr. of Boston, an active member of the National Municipal league. for the elimination of national politics from municipal contests. Said MT Paine upon this subject:
 "The party has been in existence for a generation or more-many gem erations for the democratic party and too many men are brought up in a party and could not oe bribed or reasoned out of 1t. When they see their party tag upon the ballot they will vote for it; and many times, in many cases. it means tnat just those who know least about the city, who are ignorant of the vital local issues, are most apt to vote in the stimulated excitement of party feel ing and become the deciding ele- nents in the election of nominees of parties to run the city government.

By ANNA MUNS0N.

Michael Angelo Moultrie was his name, and the diminutive of Angel" bestowed upon him by doting moth. CT, was we'll applied. At least this was the opinion of other tenants in the big Burlington apartment house.
 Angel was eight years old. but he scarcely looked six. with his long gold en curls and ethereal beauty. In his velvet suits he suggested some child of the Little Lord Fauntleeoy period held over into an age of Buster Browns.
 Mrs. Moultrie was possessed of theory that as the child is named so the tastes incline. and she had set her heart upon his being a painter.
 Angels splotchy water colors were carefully preserved in a huge portfolio against the day they should become tine priceless mementos of a world famous painters youth.
 The only child of widowed mother. Angel was about as badly spoiled as boy could he and yet escape the reform school. but his seraphic countenance and his big. innocent eyes had enabled him to successfully lie out of compile fly in many juvenile crimes. Though the small koys of the block invariably explained that Angel was the instiga- tor of all the mischief. even their own fond mothers believed them to be in a conspiracy to destroy the fair fame O. the model child.
 Angsl was quick to perceive his pop n,srsty. and with unerring instinct he fozrd his way 10 those apartments vixen. candy and cake were 10 be had uc seemed 70 kEow when callers with o@cr.-gs cf candy had visited the diff fcrs1t young women. and his own calls were sckcarlal for the following day.

brought in for his refreshment and took his departure.
 Some weeks later Angel, playing about the .obby, observed stranger enter and drew near to the telephone desk to learn his destination. Angel was interested in young and good lcck. ing strangers as possible increase in the number of purveyors of candy.
 His face took on an expression of surprise as the operator returned an answer that Miss Dimmick was not at home.
 ''She was there little while ago" insisted Angel. selfishly interested in the strangers success.
 The operator flashed an angry glance at him. which caused Angel to subside, and the stranger left the lobby with an air of dejection far different from the springy step with which he had en- tered.
 The next day he came again and ask cd that q note be sent upstairs. He waited for the answer and read 1t be- fore he turned to leave. Angel follow cd him to the street.
 ''I say" he began. "are you the fel- low Miss Mamie used to likey' Why" asked Ryder, parrying ques- tlon with question.
 Because she's sore on you because you e'Ln't write" continued Angel. Are yor the fellowy" Ryder nodded. and after a moments hesitation Angel continued: '0n the level. l didn't mean to do nothing. but took the letters for my collection

happiness to tell her that he had found his chance at last, that the firm had decided to send him on a tour of the African and Asiatic countries to intro duce their wares, it had seemed that fate. with kindly hands, had swept barriers from their path.
 Tt will be the making of me-" Ar thur had explained. ''I start at Cape Town and work Ep the east coast of Africa. then cross to Asia and so up to China. It will take about eighteen months, but if I make a success shall be taken into the firm and we can be married. dear"
 Mrs. Dimmick had refused to listen to an enga agement. Time enough for that when Arthur came back, she had told them. An engagement of a year and a half would be worse than use less.
 It would deprive Mamie of many pleasures. and no formal engagement was really necessary. If they both were of the same mind when Arthur should return there would be no oppo- sition to a short engagement and an early marriage.
 And so Arthur had gone on his long journey with gladness in his heart, for Mamie had assured him that 1t did not need the formality of ring and an- nouncement to ratify the promptings Of her heart
 First had come glowing letters from London and from Cape Town, letters that breathed of hope and love. then blank silence. For more than year not a letter in the familiar handwrit- ing had been received. though sn in- quiry at the office of the firm elicited the information that Mir Ryder was not only alive. but exceedingly well. according to his reports to the home office.
 Mrs. Dimmick had stormed at what she had termed his discourtesy. but Mamie would not listen to her moth CTS urgings that she Go more into so- ciety and forget the affront
 h spite of everything she still loved Ryder though pride forbade her to con fess that fact even to hsfseIf. and she had 10 hesrt for the hustle and stir of social events. She preferred to stay at home and tell Angel the fairy stories in which he delighted.
 She was telling for the hundredth time one of his favorite tales when Mrs. Dimnick came into theroom with an envelope

was voted on at last nights meeting
of the city council and which the
mayor was authorized by the council
to buy, for some time at least, as the
distric: coart has been asked by Jas.
II. Lynch, as a taxpaying citizen, to
issue a temporary restraining order
and an order to show cause why the
action CT the city council shou-a not
be r%escinded.
The reasons given to restrain the
purchase Of the engine are that the
action of the council is illegal in that
it accepted the highest bidder: thai
such an engine is not now needed, and
for the further reason that to buy the
engine would mean considerable run
