ABOUT CITY SALARIES

There has been a great deal OF talk
about increasing the mayor and al
dermens' salary. Everybody who gives
the matter any though: at all knows
that both mayor and aldermen earn a
great deal more than they get-in fact
a great deal more than the city Is able
to pay.
The present salary is: Mayor. SIS
per month; Aldermen. $40 per month
each.
The increased salary that has prac-
think ought to be made is. Mayor $50
per month and Aldermen S25 per
month each.
The increase must be made by the
old council else 1t won't become ef-
fective for two years longer. No coun-.
Gilman can vote on the increase of bik
own salary.
All agree that the salaries f8o&&
be raised. But it is little diff i doS

From my experience, I've decided that
he four-footed highbrow is the ele-
Dhant. Most animals do their tricks
merely To get food, but the elephant
goes through his stunts as a matter of
duty: you cannot bride him or force
him by Withholding his rations. Ele-
plants are also endowed with a sense
of humor'
But DR.. Edmund T. Southwick. the
eminent New York bug scientist. goes
far beyond all others in his conclu-
SiOns. and asserts reasoning powers
even in insects-a fact that will be adj
mitted, however. by any one who has
ever had duel with an Judgment bum
blebee. DIR. Southwick cites a case of
some brainy caterpillars that were
taken out of tree on New York
street. and in seeking to get back to
their feeding ground of leaves climbed
| the walls of adjacent houses. Finding
nothing To eat up there, they concluded
there was no use staying outdoors any
longer. and they might as we'll 90 into
winte: quarters, although it Was long
| before the time they should have
ceased feeding. and spin their cocoOns
Accordingly they wrapped themselves
up in their webs. spent the winter there
and emerged in the spring rs moths
This, thinks the scientist, was conclu.
| sive evidence that the caterpillars had
thought it all out for themselves.
