More Fences Taken Down.

In addition to those recently mentioned in The Log Cabin Dem ocrat, O. J. Owen, Frank w. Jones and John Hartley, in the south western part of the city, have talk en down their yard fences. Since the adverse report of the council committee on a petition to repeal the stock law, 1t is now generally regarded as an established policy of the city, and lawn fences are coming to be regarded unnecessary.

domestic accomplishments Of many Of the

The superintendent Of the Trowmart got
quite fused up at the idea OF connecting
the Trowmart with marital experiences.

Of measlea. scarlatina or munps. She gave
her sacred, solemn word that there had not
been an undue amount OF liberty taken

voice trailed Oh a bit into an eIhortation

and discover when the irritation Of your
unluoky Interrogation dies down that the
evenings OF the Trowmart girls arc spent
in very sensible and intelligent ways.

There are many of these girls, busy all

lace first appeared on the fashionable
t~hOroughiares, the Trowmart Inn girls
were already looking on them as an old
story, for the millinery girls had been maxi

every time.
Occasionally there comes a night when
the men are scarce as hens teeth. When
this happens the girls attribute II to the
nidebound rules Of space and service which
make it impossible to ask the men to dinner
beforehand. They have discovered, like
hostesses elsewhere, that II you want to
