MAYOR SAYS HE'LL SHOW HAAR-

cEEDs RECEIPTS.

Mayor Thompson Is preparing a let.
ter to send 10 the council In regard TO
the sidewalk expenditures and receipts
of the department Of public works. He
will present figures to show that more
money has been spent during Com
missioner Haarer's administration for
walks than has been paid In or
charged on the assessment rolls.
Il do not charge that any money
has been stolen" says the mayor.
THAT is not the idea. believe that
the system there needs improv-
ing. If the city is losing money on
the walks 1t lays, then we want to
find it out and charge more for them.
ALSO, we should collect more rap
idly on walks laid by the city. People
say now that they are willing to pay
the city a little more for walk be-
cause they get year and half to
pay for 1t. II Haarer needs more
clerks to get prompt collections, he
ought to get them"
The mayor Is well satisfied with the
work OF the board of estimates.
The city is to be congratulated on
their work" he says. "They did not
allow political pull or anything Of
that kind 10 influence them"

Ehe meant to mend her ways, but at
the first opportunity her store of
knowledge would roll out unchecked
and unrealized.
1t was to Jack Hardy that she al
ways went for sympathy and advice
when these revelations and their con
sequences hung heavy over her head.
Though Jack had given her the odious
nickname, he made partial atonefnent
by never employing it.
To him she was "Peterkin,' and.
though frequently he was a sufferer
from her disclosures, he was ever
ready with advice, sympathy or candy,
as the occasion seemed to demand, for
he alone apparently realized that her
fault was temperamental and not the
result of maliciousness.
T. G. fairly worshiped Hardy. yet all
the little intimate details of his court
ship of her sister Nell leaked out along
with the rest Of her chatter and there
were times when Hardy's forbearance
was put to hard test 1t was charac-
teristic of the man that even the per-
sonal experience did not abate his sym
pathy for I. c.. not even when he pro
posed to Nell and was given a negative
answer
When Nell made hystericaI reference
to another girl he felt that he had T. C.

Sarah Henrietta Westervelt was the
name entered in the register of the ivy
clad church, and In her baby days she
was called Sally. But from the day her
Cupid's arch OF mouth learned to
frame intelligent sentences Jack Hardy
had dubbed her the "town crier."
The nickname was so apt that 1t
stuck, being reduced for simplicity's s
sake to l. G. Even during those stern
minutes in the library with her father
be often dropped the sober Sarah for
the more universal T. G.
T. C.'s nickname was due to her gen.
ius for the dissemination of bits of
gossip best forgotten, Her mind seem
ed naturally to empty itself of all In
formation, and young Hardy altered
an old saw into What goes in 7. C.'s
ear comes out of her mouth"
As 7. c. grew in understanding the
habit got her more firmly in Its grip.
Instead of learning TO appreciate the
value OF reticence. her wider scope of
knowledge served only the better to
equip her for the gathering of sundry
bits of gossip which she would blurt
cut at the most inopportune occasions
until not only her family. but her
friends. came to regard her with an
affection that was not unmixed with
terror.
