CLASH AVERTED
IN CITY COUNCIL
MAYOR TOOK oFFENsE TO A
CHARGE MADE BY LEADER
i OF COUNCIL.
Incident Looked Unpleasant for Time
and Friends Thought It Might
Develop Into Personal Matter, But
1t Didn't.

Yesterday was pretty warm day
in Brunswick. in fact it was pro-
nounced the warmest of the year. The
heat was probably responsible for the
red hot meeting of council last night,
or for some unusual warmth which dc
yeloped during the course of the meet
ing.
1t is rather out of the ordinary for
the mayor to say to an alderman in
council that a statement made was
untrue and without foundation, but
this occurred last night when council
was considering a resolution by the
finance committee. looking to the col
lection OF city taxes and city licenses.
The resolution instructed the city
treasurer to cancel leases to foots OF
streets where the rental remained un-
paid on June /, instructed the mar
shall to advertise all property for sale
where the owner was delinquent in
sums less than $40, instructed the
treasurer to force by advertisement
the collections of Towns Commons
leases and finally requested the mayor
to force collections on the numerous
docketed cases for the non-payment
OF the license tax.
Mayor Hopkins took exceptions to
the last clause in the resolution. He
stated that only two cases remained
on the docket, placed there because
OF the non payment of the license
tax, and producing the marshals doc
ket he verified his statement.
Alderman Cox took the floor and
stated that early in the year the mayor
announced the license ordinance would
be rigidly enforced this year, but be-
cause of the failure to enforce one
of these instances other cases nad
not been docketed Mayor Hopkins
stated that the statement of Alder
man Cox, if he intended to say that
he had withheld cases on the docket
was absolutely untrue and without
foundation. Alderman Cox responded
that this had been the first occasion
in ali of his life that he had been ac-
cused of an mtruth.
1t was rather dramatic scene and
the friends present of Mayor Hopkins
and Alderman Cox greatly regretted
the occurrence.
At this stage of the game an IN
spection OF the city docket was made
and it was shown that only two cases
remained on the docket undisposed
of BY the mayor and in not disposing
of them the mayor showed by the city
attorney that he was acting under the
latters advice.
After this explanation Alderman
Iudwig moved to amend the resolu-
ton in question by striking the last
cause referring to the collection OF
the license tax. Alderman Cox sec
onded the motion, and said he did so
after the statement Of the mayor The
amendment was carried by vote OF
4 to > and the original resolution was
adopted minus the last clause.
The incident for the time being
looked decidedly unpleasant and 1t
was feared that it might grow into
personal matter. but fortunately this
was not the case and it was passed
over without further reference or
comment

A Fortunate Mishap

In a certain New England town they
manufacture a well known kind of
towel most efficient for drying pur-
poses. How that towel first happened
to be made in the form which has
proved so profitable to its makers Is
the subject of an amusing legend. 1t
savors strongly of belonging to the
too good to be true" genus of anec-
dotes, and is as follows:
Once the machinery in the towel fac
tory, busily engaged in turning out a
very conventional brand of towel sud-
denly went wrong and began practi-
cally TO go backward. There was much
excitement Eventually the machinery
was chastised and set to rights again.
Butt was discovered that the tow
els turned out during the interval of
mechanical anarchy were of texture
quite unrivaled for use as bath towels.
At once the machinery was set going
backward again, and has been travel
ing in that direction ever since.

Picture Postal Puzzles

HILDREN who like to have some
~ thing on hand to entertain their
friends whenever several of them come
in to spend morning or afternoon
with them can make a variation on the
popular picture puzzles with picture
postal cards. A good deal of fun can
be had with these cards and quite a
contest may be made of trying to see
who can put together the most pic
lures.
From dozen to twenty picture post
ais should be used. all different, of
course They must be cut up into
pieces of various sizes and many intri-
cate shapes. All the pieces are put into
one box and thoroughly mixed up. The
best way to cut them is to mark with
a pencil on the back of the postal the
shapes you can think OF for your pieces
and cut By these lines. The more
shap pes YOU can think of for your pieces
the better. but 1T is we'll to repeat the
different shapes several times on differ
sent cards. THAT will increase the diff
hculty OF putting the cards together.
Wien severais zrsons are. going to
work over them az once 1t IS best to
spread the pieces out on table. II
left in box they are more likely to be
broken in handling. and, once made.
these cards can be used many times (
they are not used roughly. They make
specially good amusement for a day
that is either too hot or too rainy for
outdoor sports.

Ants Have Combs

No creature is more tidy than an
ant, who can not tolerate the presence
of dirt on her body. These little crea-
lures actually use a number of real
toilet articles in keeping themselves
clean. No less an authority than Doc
tor McCook says their toilet articles
consist of coarse and fine toOthed
combs. hair brushes. sponges and even
washes and soap. Their saliva is their
liquid soap. and their soft tongues
are their sponges. Their combs. now
ever. are the genuine article and diff
fer from ours mainly in that they are
ia stened 10 their legs. The ants have
no set time for their toilet operations.
but stop and clean up whenever they
get soiled.-St. Nicholas.

And colored with the heavens own

That openest, when the quiet light
Succeeds the keen and frosty night.
Thou comest not when violets lean
Ger wandering brooks and springs un-

Or coiumbines in purple dressed,
Nod DER the ground birds hidden nest.
Thou waitest late. and com'st alone.
When woods are bare and birds are
flown,
And frosts and shortening days por-

The aged year is near his end.
Then doth thy sweet and quiet eye
Look through its fringes 10 the sky,

A flower from its cerulean wall.

A FISHERMAN'S PARADISE

usually with considerable muscular ex-
ertion-
The cod, founders and salmon were
caught with handlines, the largest ones
sometimes gated, like the halibut. All
were plentiful. They could be seen
swimming about by the score. compel
ing for the privilege of grabbing the
bait. for whico almost anything served
from pieces Of shell fish to odd meat
scraps.
The men forward, as well as the
officers aft, had their fill of fishing
and of fish as well. 1t was gas
tronomic joy TO catch a big fellow at
or a. m. and have him served up
by a skilled cook at noon. We ate
fish until canned meats or pork and
beans became luxury by way of con-
trast.
Gedney harbor was the most densely
populated, piscatoriaIly. of all the ports
we visited during the survey. but at
all of them we had plenty of fish, Port
Nalmesbury, Patterson bay, Port Arm
strong and others yielded their heavy
quotas to our larder, and in some
places the streams emptying into those
harbors were so choked with. salmon
that they could be killed with sticks
or stones.
Trout were found higher up in the
streams of delicious fresh water pour
ing down from the snowcapped noun
tains which. with the numerous roar
ing waterfalls, added grandeur to the
scenery. They were plentiful. but con-
siderably more wary and gamier than
their confiding brethren of other spe-
cfes found in the salt water. They
were the orthodox trout of "the states"
We got several strings of these. but
their distance from the. ship and the
exacting character of our surveying
duties prevented many excursions in
pursuit of them.
In the open waters OF Chatham
strait there. are great schools ofSmack-
erel, but these are the game of the
fish packers at Killisnoo and yond
the province of the man who fishes for
sport and his private table The latter
has more than his hands full with the
distinctly sport furnishing fish.
Chatham strait is comparatively easy
of access. The would be visitor may
take one of the Pacific Coast steam
ship company's steamers at any coast

which places he may get transportation
to the fishing ground
The better way is to go to killisnoo
where he may arrange TO take one of
the small vessels belonging to the
fishing company, which will land him
at some point on Baranoff or Kuiu
islands. He must of course, have his
own camping outfit and large canoe.
or, preferably. small sloop or other
sailing vessel He can usually charter

the northern end of Kuiu island and
