Power of Deceivinu.

There is a Brooklyn woman who
possesses a servant who is a model in
all respects save one-in that she is
none too truthful
Lately the mistress has been using
all her eloquence to make Nora see
the error Of deceitfulness. But at last
she had to own herself beaten when
Nora, with a beaming Irish smile,
turned and in a most cajoling tone
said:
Sure. now. mum, an wot de ye sup
pose the power of desavin' was given

Smith is making hard campaign, "

put Rees in the race are now anxious

many offices to one senatorial district

WORK ON BRIDGE BEGUN.
Fine New Structure to Be Put Up and
Macadam Street Made.

The Valley Brothers of Barton have
the derrick up and are ready to begin
the stone work for the new bridge on
Main street. Much of the wall which
is 10Y in will remain but some OF 1t
will have to be taken down to give OPP
p~ortunity to break joints on the west
side. The bridge will be widened
about IA feet. This will give more
room for the sidewalk across the bridge
and s~traighten the road instead of
turning q little to the right in crossing.
Between the bridge and the railroad
crossing a sewer is being constructed,
which will carry Is inch tile, and
is planned to a ry the sewerage from
all of the residences south Of the bridge.
The sewer will empty into the mill
pond just below the bridge for the
present, but later it is the intention
of the trustees to connect the outlet
with an iron tiling and carry the sew
erage down over the mill dam. The
permanent road, for which $1,000 has
been appropriated by the village, will
be built between the bridge and the
railroad crossing and the road levelled
the whole distance. This will be a
great improvement, and meet the pres
ent demand.

milk, and the little fellow sucked it as
though he were really hungry. When

found it, as it disappeared in the night
and was not Teen afterwards.
