VACATION OF STREETS.
WILL PROVIDE FIRE PRoTEc-
TON.

Although council was asleep at the
switch" Monday night, performing the
duties imposed upon them when there
was not enough members present to
transact business legally, no such mis-
take was made at the special session
held last evening. Clerk Merrill care
fully counted noses and found that
nine of the eleven city fathers were
present. Monday night only seven
councilmen, or less than the required
two-thirds of the membership, were in
attendance. This made it necessary
for Mayor Schillinger to call council
into special session last evening.
The three ordinances read and
adopted under the suspension of the
rules Monday night were again read
and passed last evening. These ordi-
nances authorized the floating of a
temporary loan of $4,000; the post
ponement of the enforcement of the
Main street pole ordinance until Octo-
Der / and the appropriations for the
various departments of the city gov
eminent.
At the request of the Young Mems
Business Club council last evening au-
thorized the club to use the following
places during the fall festival-Elm
place from Ninth street to Tenth
street, and, If necessary, to Eleventh
street, the South A street market
place.
Councilman Won Pein stated that
one of the provisions of the contract
between the South Side Improvement
Association and the hn-Carpenter
company to secure the location of the
plant of that company in the Beallview
addition was to provide gas, water
and fire protection.
Mr.. Won Pein stated the gas COM
pany and the water works company
had agreed to extend their lines to
Beallview He said that fire protec-
ton could be provided if the city
would consent to the location of a fire
plug on the site of the company's
plant. Council readily agreed to 10
cate fire plug where desired.
Councilman Englebert wanted to
know what had become OF the petition
to place cement walks, curbs and gut
tiers on North Eighth street from Main
street to North E street. Clerk Mer-
rill stated that the board had held this
petition up pending the completion of
the Y. M. C. A building.

The Early Days of This Now Famous
Maine Summer Resort.
In 1858 Mount Desert and it's neigh
borhood were granted by the French to
a man named Cadillac. When Acadia
was finally as a result of that long war
relinquished to England it was given to
Governor Bernard, but as this gentle
man when the Revolution broke out
was loyal to King George the estate
was confiscated. Meanwhile NJ. Bar
tholomew Gregoire and his wife, Maria
Theresa, who was til" 'nddaughter
of the original graz, 1yived the
claim OF Cadillac, and it was allowed.
For years the island remained a soil
tary place, with long stretches of I'M
broken forests into whose labyrinths
no stranger dared venture without a

dreamed of, but artists. weary of the
commonplace, found out the spot and
bore to jewellers in towns glimpses of

The Stuart KINGS.

The family name of the Stuarts was
originally, as Mr.. Bayley observes,
Fitzalan. The original Walter Fitz-
alan, brother of the ancestor of the
dukes of Norfolk, was lord high stew
ard of Scotland, and from this cir
cumstance his branch of the family
appears to have adopted the name OF
Stewart. When the change began is
not certain, but it was probably not
later than the time of Alexander, the
great grandson of Walter Fitzalan, fol
both his sons-James, the grandfather
Of Robert II. and all the Scottish Stew
art kings, and John, the ancestor OF
Lord Darnley-appear to have borne
the name of Stewart. - Notes and
Queries.

A DESIGNING Doctor.

The Sydney Bulletin tells of mo-
toring doctor who ran into and cap
sized a pedestrian. He looked behind
him and, seeing the man still prone.
made a circuit and ran back, intending
to stop beside and help him. But the
motor shot yard or two beyond the
mark and hit the man again just as he
was getting up. The doctor turned his
car once more and was cautiously
stealing near to the PROSTATE sufferer
when an excited spectator rushed from
the sidewalk and, shaking the victim,
exclaimed: Look out! He's coming
at you again. Whereupon the man
scrambled up and started to run.

About -FOUR Dishes.

Dishwashing, and the cleansing of
the articles you eat with, demand a
perfectly pure soap. No one likes even
to think of the impure fats and raw
rosin of common soaps, coming in con-

the knives and forks. Better be on
the safe side and use Easy Task soap.
Everyone knows that's pure. and 1t

All the surroundings were exactly ike those to which the little Romans of centuries ago had been accustomed.
 Here were a number of boys and girls playing "Hide-and-seek" in just the same way that Ella and Carl had often played 1t. Close at hand were other little boys playing Court" There was the judge" and the "pris- oner." and everything complete. Right around the corner, in a little paved court with a fountain, they came across two girls playing jacks" Not far away game of marbles" was in progress, where nuts were used in- stead of marbles and triangle was drawn in place of the circle with which Carl was mostly acquainted.
 Little boys dashed here and there astride of sticks with horses heads; others trundled hoops hung with tiny bells that tinkled musically the while. One boy they saw whipping a little boxwood top.
 Then they came to toy shop. Dolls there were everywhere in the shop. Some were lying down, some sitting up, while others were hung up by their hair. They were of every size and description. For the comfort of dollies there were s,o also TOT sale ,oos oeos balls. stuffed with feathers. there were in boxes near by; jumping jacks; rat ties and drums; wooden soldiers (mostly little Roman centurions); whistles in the shape of heads of wolves. pigs and horses and cocks: swings: toy chariots.
 ''As you say, Mir. Fairy, remarked Ella. their games are. really not so VERY different from those we often played ourselves"
 ''No, and you'H find that the games of the little Greeks of ancient times are very similar to yours" responded the enclosure and on to another GAMES OF ANCIENT GREECE"

And in a copper vase, over the mouth of which rested little ivory ball. vase was brought to the boiling point the little ball danced merrily up and down. Heaped about the shop were toy hatchets. clay pigs and and all manner of masks. some hideous and some very comical.
 "Very often" observed the Game Fairy. "a Greek father would have all the toys of his little girl or boy duplicated in silver or ivory Gin min iature, of course), and hung on a chain of precious metal. This was suspended around the neck of the child. so that, if he should be lost. he might be recognized by a description of the chain of toys"

~~o GROWN PEOPLE there was
 nothing unusual about the ap- pearance of the mirror. Father

 But to Carl and Ella one glance into the quaint. old mirror suggested great possibilities. Somehow you seemed to look further than the mir TOT, into q strange country beyond Perhaps this was what prompted Ella to observe to Carl one morning:
 "Carl, doesn't that look like the VERY looking-giass through which Alice passed on her way to wonder land?''
 Carl believed in always making sure he was right before making reply, therefore he promptly thrust one foot toward the glass. To his as- tonishment, he stepped right through the mirror. Ella. ready for any ad- venture, closely followed him. The next instant they were standing on 8 flight of white marble steps. Behind them was a great wooden wall, sorne- where in which was the back of their mirror. Before them stretched won- derful country, with pretty winding lanes bordered by trim hedgerows.
 Choosing one of these lanes. they went happily forward on an eager Journey of discovery. Nor had they gone but a short mile when there seemed to rise suddenly before them a great walled city. Directing their steps up a. narrow gravel path. they came to a little wicket gate, above which appeared in huge letters: FEN TRANCE TO THE GAME FACTORY" :" There was a fat. queer little man at the gate, who asked them for their passport.
 we just came through the Look ing-Glass, and have no passports" re- piled Carl.
 The gatekeeper grinned hospitably. "oh, if you came through the Looking Glass it's all right" said he. Ever since Alice came through the Look ing-Giass and failed to pay us visit. we've been watching for some one else to come from there. Walk right over to that little house wonder. rap at the door, and the Game Fairy himself will be sure to greet you kindly"
 Following the direction of the keep er's finger, Ella and Carl saw quite near them a tiny house somewhat re- gembIIng d Chinese pagoda.
 In response to their timid knock the Game Fairy appeared almost imme- but he had a. very kindly face Cari , and Ella liked him right away.
 "So you've come to see the place where games are invented, have aye; yop;; o9; myseIf YOU know" he explained proudly; "try them myself, too; with with whisner them into the ears of boy and girl mortals. This I've .Iut been doing .a GT for centuries. But don't invent so very W many games now, and you will find that children of today are playing played by the boys and girls of thou sands of years ago"

games was a company of sturdy Gre clan boys in a tug-ofwar. 1t was so exciting that Carl was with difficulty prevented from joining the game.
 The Fairy now hastened Cari and Ella toward what he called the Ex- hibit Building Here were rows and rows of shelves, upon which were books describing all the games that were ever played.
 The boy and girl were looking in won der at 6 series of screens at one end of the room, when the Game Fairy pressed several buttons. Immediately all lights went out and there appeared moving pictures upon each of the white canvases. Watching all five sheets at once was worse than trying to see all that was going on in three circus rings at the same time.
 ''On the first canvas" explained the Fairy, you sec a game of blindman's buff-played by barbarian children or southern Germany. The cruel fathers of these same children sometimes put out the eyes of a man. and this man was used to provide them sport, just as the one who is the blind man does in the game itself. ,,..,

Then it was that something unexpected happened! Poor Tommy Bowes. who was stationed at this particular point on the fence, was hurled several feet into the air by the shock and plunged headfirst into the water below. Nor did the fact that he chung heroically to the pre- cious can lessen the bitterness that his dastardIy action caused--for every ''mully" had escaped!
 The winning of the tub race, the itching of different rivals to settle personal disputes-all was forgotten in the general desire to punish the unfortunate Tommy! But Tommy had already scrambled from the water and was heeing for his life. He sped nearby. Horrible fear spurred him onward, so that he reached this haven of refuge before his pursuers could come up with him. f
 Then = and not until then - were personal grievances between mem bers of the two bands remembered. Thereupon ensued a battle royal which was ended only by the appear ance of the constable.
 "Wbats the use of winnin' when you don't get your winnin's." was the last doteful comment of Billy, who was commonly considered to have been the chief sufferer. Strange to say, poor Tommy wasn't spoken of at all in this connection. Tommy was not a "suherer"; he was a .'yillain''l

Why, you could ga Hop at breakneck speed with him all around the yard. You can see why Harold took such pride in the posses sion of Rocky" can't you.' and why he wished Marian to take good care of horsey?
 Before this time Marian, was not much better acquainted with Rocky than you were. But now she was often to be found upon the spirited mount. She became quite as fond or him as was Harold.
 Marian didn't notice 1t at first. but after awhile she told herself that she
