At the council meeting last nigh,
only four members aside from the
mayor and recorder were present and
the time was devoted largely to a dis
cussion of how to raise money with
which to finance the city admins
tration during the coming year.
As a result of the prohibition vote
the city will lose a revenue of $4,000
in license money during the comins
year. As the city tax for the yeal
has already been levied it will re-
quire an emergency measure of some
sort to make up the deficiency.
Last night the subject of an occu-
patton tax was broached by some of
the councilmen' and il was likewise
suggested that a special city tai
could be imposed upon the various
business concerns of the city. A year
ago, when the city had a heavy war;
rant Indebtedness, this proposition
was considered to some extent and a
schedule was made out. However. 1t
did not become necessary to resort to
the measure at that time.
Unless money can be raised by
some special tax the city will have to
again go beyond the $4,000 limit of
warrant Indebtedness and this the ad-
ministration is anxious to avoid do
ing

be no sad disillusionment of husbands
the day after, in Georgia, at least, if a
bill introduced by Representative
George Glenn of the Whitfield district,

provides that an unmarried woman may

her charms as she sees fit, but if she
wants to get married the deception
must end with the beginning of the
courtship.
The measure provides that, should a
woman entrap a man into marriage
through the "use of paints, powder,
cosmetics, dropstitched hose, high heel
ed shoes, peek-aboo waists, corsets, "
shaped lingerie or other artifices, - the
marriage shall be null and void.

Speaker of the House to the Commit
tee on Ways and Means, and is assured
of careful consideration.

AN OFFICIAL ACT.


Margaret Brown came one day into
the Office Of a government official In
Chicago. She was from Massachusetts,,
says a writer in the Chicago Tribune.
Her son had come to Chicago some time
before to seek his fortune.
But fortune had not favored Mar
garet's son, and he soon wrote home
for fifty dollars. 1t was sent him.
Then followed another hard-luck story,
and another fifty was sent him. A third
time Ed asked for hfty dollars. This
was more than the mother could en-
dure, and full Of misgivings and fears,
she picked up suit case and started
for the West to make Investigations.
But where in Chicago was Ed? She
had but one address delivery
and countless people get their mail
there. How could she find the elusive
son among the thousands who daily
cross the great rotunda?
She would stand there and watch for
him. He might come in the morning,
he might came in the evening The might
come the first day or the THIRD, but
stand there she would till she stood
face to face with the prodigal.
But even for the tedious privilege Of
standing there permission had to be
secured; hence her call on the official.
The official realized how unpleasant
to refined woman such an expert
ence would be. He pondered a moment
as to how he might keep from break
ing laws and regulations, and yet ac-
complish the mothers desire In a man.
ner at least comfortable.
where are you staying?" he inQuir-
ed, after a moments reflection.
"At the Great Northern"
"Pll tell you what I'll do. I'll write
your son a note"
And he sent this letter:
"Mr. Brown. You are requested to
call at the Great Northern, room -,
Thursday, between and p. M
"a Friend of the Family"
He sealed it and addressed 1t to the
general delivery.
The next step in the story was dell
cately written note from Boston, an

and his mother. Ed had called at the
general delivery, to his establishment
had found his mother In room - at the
Great Northern, had gone home. and
the mother was happy.

Fearless Swimmers.

In the water the Hawaiians are alb.
solutely fearless. AS soon as they car
walk, little babies are taken to battle
IN the sea, and in a very short time
they are able to swim like porpoises
The author of Hawaiian Yesterdays
gives Renaissance Of the courage OF
the natives:
Our party had arrived in Hilo Bay
and we were all seated upon the plat.
form Of big double canoe, padding
ashore from the schooner which Law
out In the harbor. A throng of natives
lined the beach, waiting to welcome
their returning teachers.
Just as we were entering the surf
that rolled upon the sandy shore
through some accident the canoes sud
denly filled and sank, leaving us all
sitting half-submerged in the shallow
water. With loud roar Of "Auwe n
ooh, and Alas!) the assembled crowd
rushed as one man into the waves and
bore us safely to land.
On one occasion, about the same
date, a coasting vessel was upset in q
violent squall between the islands Of
Hawaii and Maui. Although the near
est land was twenty miles distant, the
native crew and passengers boldly
struck out to swim ashore; and sew.
eral OF them did come safe to land
after night and day In the deep.
Among the survivors of the wreck
was poor woman who for several
hours SWAN with her husband upon
her back; but the poor man died OF
cold and fatigue, and had to be aban-
doned at last before the coast wal
reached.

THE LIBRARIANS HOBBY

The influence Of books is so strong,
declares the woman at the head Of a
Western library, that it often changes
the entire course of a boys life. In
the Kansas City Times she says that
many children are inspired to try for
the best things in life because of read
ing the right book; and she gives this
example:
About fifteen years ago I heard a
yell, almost an old-time Confederate
yell, in the children's room. When 1
got there I found that the disturber
was little boy with light curly hair
and blue eyes.
"Shall we put him out and take away
his library privileges?" asked the at
tendant.
NO." I said.
Then I went over to the boy and
asked him what was wrong.
II can't stand it to read books" he
said.
"Don't you even like picture books ~
I asked.
"Nope. Makes me want to jump up
and YELL"
"Come with me-" 1 persisted, land
look at few good books"
He agreed, and we looked through a
dozen or more.
Nov, I'm going to give yoa this
book to take home" I said.
The book was tom Sawyer" The
boy read 1t, and liked 1t. Re came
back for more, and all the time his
liking for books became stronger.
II suppose at last he came in one
day and made you happy by asking
for "Kant's CritiqueY" suggested a
visitor.
"Not at ALL" answered. "The 9th
er day l went into the catalogue room
and saw a young man looking through
a list Of scientific books. He had light
hair and blue eyes. knew him In a
minute, and he knew me.
"He confded to me his ambition to
