A few days ago suggestion
was made through the Hustler
by some citizens of the town, that
the young shade trees be trim
med to a certain height.
Now comes the kick from the
ladies, both by the city people
and the guests.
They are proclaming that the
grass has grown so high on some
of the streets, that early in the
morning, or after a. rain, they
can't walk the streets without
soiling their dresses. They also
claim that the shade trees are
so low that they can't walk un-
der them without almost running
their ats-and it is all so.
Who can blame them for quar-
reling about it! Something will
have to be done.

Eight Feet Of Water.

The new dam of the Electric
Light Company on Big Hungry
was tested last Thursday and it
stood the test.
At 8 o'clock they telephoned to
town that it was raining there,
just a little.
At 5 o'clock they telephoned
again. This time the water had
risen 8 feet, and in a solid,
irresistible, Ifoam-fecked wall
was dashing over the concrete
dam with such force that it
struck the rocks in the river bed
IL feet from the dam.
The foreman of the plant
walked across the river, between
the outermost projections of the
dam, six feet from it's face, and
the descending curtain of water,
dry shod and with a dry skin.
The wall of water, carrying
logs, trees, debris of every de-
scription, roaring and tearing
over the jagged rocks and finally
spending its angry strength on
the massive dam was a spectacle
magnificent, and the fact that
the dam was absolutely uninjured
in it's contest with this outburst
of Dame Nature speaks well fo1
the solidity of the massive struc-
ture.s

Chicken. :

This great home journal has
told the truthful tale of the chick
en- with the wooden leg. Also Of
the fish and the dollar bill. This
is of the chicken with a gold
ring three stones on it's leg.
1t was. a hen chicken-of course.
Jess Shepherd had fried chick
en- for dinner last Sunday.
George, his youngest boy, was
busy with a leg of the chicken,
when his teeth closed on a solid
gold ring with three stones in it
which was firmly fastened, un-
broken, around the leg of the
fowl. The boy is now wearing
the ring instead of the chicken.
How did the ring get there?
Mr.. Shepherd says the chicken
was young and tendhr and plump,
and he always thought it a bit
vain-it was a hen chicken, you
know. He thinks the ring was
a token of love and esteem from
some admiring rooster, but Ho-
mer Hawkins, the jeweler, says
he never, in all his life sold a
rooster a solid gold ring with
three stones in it. That is, so
far as he can recollect. And of
course Mr.. Hawkins would recol-
lect-it would be so nsunal-a
rooster asking to be shown an
engagement ring, with three
stones in it!
So, how did the hen get the
ring and how did she get it in
her leg? The Daily Hustler will
go free to the person offering the
best solution of a mystery, which
has kept us awake nights for
most a week.
