I've never sold in any quantities bigger
than a drink. but some OF the buffers

The revenue agent then began reading
from the revenue statutes the penalty for
advertising as a wholesale house and then
doing a retail business, the fine being
anything from 500 UP and from one to
six months in Jail.

Mccain
The agent did so. Then Mccain turned TO
his porter and called out: Say. you Mike

Mr.. Mccain soon had another window

Beautiful Bird.

A sign of returning prosperity is the in
creased cost OF ostrich plumes and
aigrsttes. Women are beginning to spend
freely again, and plumes have increased Is
per cent in price within the last two
months. The woman who prides herself
upon exclusiveness just now affects the
egTet plumage. which is being shown in
rarely beautiful specimens. The demand
OF fashion for egret Is leading to the de-
struction of this most beautiful of all the

DOES SEEN Silly" SAYS jim
Mayor Admits Voting Bonds for
Empty Building is Foolish.
BUT EXCUSES DEMOCRATIC ACTION
Instead of Blaming His Administer.
ton, Supposed to BE Conducting
City's Affairs, He Lays II
on Legislature.

Mayor Dahlmap says it does seem kind
OF foolish to vote bonds for the erection
of a fire engine house in the vicinity Of
Twenty-fouTth and Ames avenue when the
city has not the money to equip some of
the houses 1t now has, but excuses the
nonequipment as no fault of the present
democratic administration. The blame Is
thrown upon the legislature In not giving
the city the right to appropriate larger
amounts for the use of the fire department.
THE new charter as proposed con-
templates raising the fire fund from 49,
600 TO 500, 000," said the mayor, and II
this Is done then it will be possible to buy
equipment which is needed. The fund
ought to be raised to $3.50, 900, but the $50, 900
raise will be a help.
"If the charter amendment is adopted.
the increase will enable us to equip the
Lake street house, which has stood empty
since its completion last July and we may
be able to buy equipment for the proposed
house above Ames avenue. The city Of
Omaha certainly needs more fire engine
houses and more and better equipment for
the department. but our hands are tied
in a measure by legislative enactment
just Throws Up His Hands.
The mayor washed his hands of any
connection with the depositing OF city
funds, which cost the city ~ per cent
interest. in the banks at 2 per cent interest.
He said he did not have the handling OF
the funds, knew nothing OF 1t and declined
to answer the question: What are we
going to do about it7"
Mayor Dahlmsn favors the buying OF a
site In the business section OF the city
and the erection of a modern central fire
house to take the place of engine house
No. 3, which occupies rented quarters at
Eighteenth and Harvey streets. Rent in
the sum OF $500 a year is paid for this
property. but the first move the demo-
cratic city council has made to secure a
home of its own for the central fire sta
ton was in the meeting OF the committee
of the whole Monday afternoon. when a
proposition of purchase was made to own
ers of a portion of a lot at Nineteenth and
Harvey streets. tn owners OF the part
lot, the WARSAW Hall association. wanted
to buy the other part Of the lot held by
the city and the councilmen made a prop
osition to either buy or sell. The state
ment was then made that II the city
bought the other part Of the lot a central
fire engine house would be erected thereon.

SEVENTEEN MONR0VIA
STUDENTS GRADUATED
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
AT HIGH SCHOOL HELD
Four Seniors Given Honors for Excel
lent Class Standings During Years.
Dispense with Usual
Orations
Especial to The Herald.l

MONROVIA, June 1S.-Commence-
ment exercises for the senior class of
Monrovia high school were held last
evening in the opera house. Prof. E. b..
Knepper stated the class had main
tained an exceptionally high standard
throughout the year in every branch of
high school activity.
First honors for excellent standing
during the four years course were
awarded to Isis Carter, Theresa Dunn
being given second honors. Julia Baer
and Helen Davis, who completed their
course with third and fourth class nom
ors, respectively, were less than per
cent lower than Miss Carter and MISS
Dunn.
The opera house was decorated in the
class colors of blue and gold, the grad
yates sitting on the stage beneath the
class motto "Out of School Life Into
Life's School" A large crowd of per-
sons saw the exercises.
The evenings program opened with
vocal selection by the high school Choir
us. which was followed by the invoca-
ton, delivered by Rev. Ansel E. john
son. The high school girls double quar-
tet also contributed several selections
and were heartily encored.
Rev. Leslie E. Learned of Pasadena
contributed the annual address to the
class on Culture and Character" He
spoke of the Importance of developing
morality with ability. and touched on
the certainty of success which would
come to all who lived their lives in this
manner.
Prof. E. E. Knepper presented the
class of seventeen, this ceremony being
followed by the awarding of diplomas
by Mrs. w. F. Marshall president of
the school board.

audience to sit through a number of
orations delivered by the graduates was
dispensed with. The weeks exercises
will close Saturday evening with the
alumni banquet to be held at the club
house.

CHICKENS TOO CLOSE;
WANT LIMIT RAISED
PROTESTANT INVITES COUNCIL
TO NIGHTS LODGING
cffers to Demonstrate to Satisfaction
of Lawmakers That Fifteen Feet
from House Is No Re-
striction

PASADENA, June 1S.-Calling atten-
ton to the city ordinance which forbids
the keeping of chickens within fifteen
feet of a dwelling place within the city
limits. E. W. Leslie. of 290 Mentoria
court appeared before the city council
this morning with a request that the
limit be increased to fifty feet.
He has reasons for wishing the
amendment and offered, if the council
men would accept nights lodging at
his hands, to prove these reasons, he
claims that for nights he has been kept
awake by the growing of his neighbor' S
roosters, the quacking of their ducks
and the cooling OF their pigeons Ac-
cording to his statement the feathered
menagerie is in operation at all hours
of the night, and with the first peep
of dawn becomes an unbearable null
sance. Various members of the council
seemed, either from experience or
through the possession of a vivid i'm
agination, to agree with the protestant.
J. d. Mersereau said that, in his opin-
ion, the proper limit would be about a
mile and half while the chairman Of
the sanitation committee, H. G. Cat
tell, to whom the petition for relief was
referred, thought a mile and half too
close to house for comfort.
A protest against the improvement
and widening of North Raymond ave-
nue. was made by j. w. Pickering, while
other petitioners appeared to recon-
mend the passage of the measure.
The council will hold up the improve
ment of the street until the abutting
property owners can agree in this mat
ter. The ordinance regulating the places
to be occupied by the public carriage
drivers of the city was passed on its
second reading and is now law. 1t
requires the drivers to stand not more
than two on any one block in the re-
stricted business section. There is
strong opposition on the part of the
drivers TO this ordinance, and there is
some talk of a test case among them.
