 the City,

The residents of Noble avenue on
 the west side of the street between Putnam and Spring streets have
 shown what can be done toward beau
 tifying a block by the removal of
 wires from in front of their home. All
 have telephones and in order to do
 away with net work of wires and
 half dozen poles they have had the
 telephone line extended from Spring
 to Putnam streets through their back
 yards.
 John Schleichert. the former market
 man has built a novel kind of build ing on the old Tom Thumb property at
 Main street. and North avenue It is frame block for four stores and eight families but it has the appear
 ance of being a brick structure for its exterior is four inch wall of press ed brick from the top of the first floor
 up. The wall rests upon huge steel girders. MT. Schliechert has seen
 many buildings built like 1t in the
 middle west. It is cheaper than brick Iconstruction. has the appearance of
 being a brick building. is warm as
 a wholly brick building and besides it
 will never need painting like build ing with wooden sides. The frame con struction was carried to the roof before the four inch brick wall was laid As
 the wall was carried upward it was anchored to timbers of the wooden frame work.

 One of the new conductors on the
 Stratford avenue line who bears the learn1arks of spending his leisure time reading Homer detests cigar smoke At the smell of the filthy weed the bridge of his nose takes on a half dog en creases and he enforces the rule about smoking on the platform on the car. Last evening he spotted a fat
 man taking a pun on a cigar
 Say no smoking on this car" he shouted at the stout person.
 I'm not smoking I'm keeping it lit." said the smoker with a grin How would you like it.'' said the dignified conductor. eff had dirty the smoke through my lungs and blow it out for you to take into yours2' "Say. young feller." said the man with the cigar. Its cigarettes you jority of those people who ever inhaled cigars are already in the cemeteries Besides no one would ever imagine you back of a cigar You better coll llect your fares. Two people have got ofr already that-you did not see. These
 smoke talks will make the company accuse you of having a short right
 arm before long-r
 At SIS the street sweeper brushes
 up the dirt in front of the store. At
 SEQ tine clerk of the store sweeps the
 dirt from the sidewalk into the street
 and at SIPS no one would ever know
 that the street sweeper had been there.
 The girls at the telephone exchange don't very often make a mistake in
 making connections but an East Side store keeper is having a great deal of amusement over a conversation he heard over the wire through a mistake
 made by central. He fourd himself connected up with two other phones. Another East Side business man a fireman were talking. Let's say the
 business mans name is Smith because ! it is something else. The fireman said Say this is So and So over to .tSix's". Now. you want to get. out and get
 busy. Don't let the grass grow under
 your feet We are with you over here
 and want you to land" The caves dropping business man guessed that the fireman wanted the business man for fire commissioner as he has since heard he was in the race. He thought the firemen used poor judgment in us- ing the departments wire for his po- litical business but he is watching closely to see if the firemen on the wire in aSix's' will land the man whom he was giving orders
