number of piers that he has during the
last number of years
Back to the Sad Sea Waves
Neptune replies the destruction of
the fiimsy structures is considered as
Just so much fun for him and that he
proposes to try his luck on the new
pier. The queen addresses him and
states that hereafter he can go else
where for his fun, as she has discov-
cred a process whereby she can foil
his attacks and reminds him the con-
crete age has arrived, and with it the
gradual disappearance Of wooden piers
for him to destroy.
The marauder looks about him, ex-
amines the structure, admits his de-
feat and surrenders to the queen. She
orders that he return to the sea whence
he came, taking his court with him.

Race for Office of City's
Executive

office. If any one had matter to
nresent TO one of the commissions over
which he presided he was given no
opportunity to whisper it in the
mayor's ear first. He was told to present
his case to the commission having

Hazard many friends and the conn-
dence of the community.
