BREAK GROUND
FOR new CHAPEL
Contract TO be Awarded This
Evening for Richardson
Park Building

The glorious Fourth was sportsmen's
day at Richardson Park. and the
masculine residents of the suburb were
laid up with sore limbs and sprained
muscles all day yesterday as a result
of their Rooseveiian stronuosity.
In the afternoon there was a ripping
game of baseball between the single
and married men. lastioS IL innings,
and resulting in the score of IL to 3,
in favor of the sleek and ever ready,
cool and calm benedicts. The single
men attributed their failure to take the
game to the languishing glances Of the
pretty girls of Richardson Park and
neighboring places, which they aver.
accused general confusion in the infeld.
Care was taken in choosing captains
that only the most knowing should DO
selected. and as a consequence Clar-
ence Walters led the single men and
G. II. Tinsman the married men. Both
are schoolboys and directed the "old
boys" vef~ efficiently. 1t is reported
that there were so many errors and
hft1 that no one took account of them.
In thee vening there were running
races. sack races and many other
sports and a thoroughly good old
fashioned Fourth was enjoyed.

When you. are fined q franc In Paris
It means that you pay 12 francs 73
centimes, or just over half a sovereign.
This is the only conclusion to which
one can come after reading the curl
Gus experience of an American citizen
who is staying In Paris to complete
the education Of his sons. He lives In
an apartment near the Arc de Tri-
omphe, and the other morning one OF
bis servants committed the impru-
dence Of shaking a carpet out Of the
window after o'clock. A lynx eyed
constable saw her and Immediately
climbed the stairs rang the bell, en-
tered the apartment and drew up a
summons against the tenant The
American was called and gave his
name.

the law" he said. But as 1 have
broken It / must pay. How much is

"You win be fined franc" replied
the policeman.
There you are" answered the
American. and he held out the coin.
But the agent" refused to take It.
Later on" he remarked as he with
drew, you will be summoned before

Some days later the delinquent was
invited to appear before the "juge de

was obliged to wait three hours In an
antechamber Then he was admitted.

The American took his departure,
considerably surprised at so many for
mallties In connection with a franc
fine. A few days later he received a
stamped paper inviting him to pay,

fins, plus % centimes, the amount Of

times, the amount Of the costs. making
in all total of 12 francs 73 centimes.
The American paid. but as he left the
police court he remarked:
