Street liahtina.

The streets of New York we're
first lighted in 1897, the lighting
being done by a lantern suspended
from pole stretched out from the
window of every seventh house.
The lighting of streets with gas
was first tried in 1916 in Baltimore.
At Philadelphia theater was thus
lighted on Nov. 25, 1916, the first
place of amusement in America IL
Illuminated in that manner.
Gas was first used for lighting

Court House Special.

The old Court House goes at last
A grand building in its place,
And Jasper holds it firm and fast,
Huntingburg wasn't in the race
The white haired boss andthe wagon maker
Have got the grit and sand.
They'll take the Burg and fiercely shake her
If she don't play in their band.
And music sweet that band will play
A few short months to wait
For the corner stone they tnen will lay
Of that building grand and great
I'll tell you now, how it happened so
And Jasper is the winner
Huntingburg can bluff and blow
But in scheming she is beginner.
We had our hands upon the trottle
Were running fast and true
And on the trail we saw a bottle
But not blast we blew
That bottle placed on our railroad
Is compared to objection made.
By Huntingburg and all who blow
And all the plans they laid
The bottle placed upon the rail
In size was very small
Compared to steel, was light and frail
1t didn't check the speed at all
That bottle was placed by wheezy man
He lives just eight miles south
He did all he could. did all he can
That is, just with his mouth
That bottle was crushed by that special train
A new Court House was landed
Rvthe white haired boss and wagon maker brain
In Jasper ii was planted.
We will have to see it before believing
That was the statement made
But congratulation we are receiving
And compliments are paid.

his last trip:
The proprietor of lanyard built
a stand on one of the main streets

of selling leather and buying new

When he had completed the build

After awhile he saw a solemn

"Good morning, sirw he said.
"Morning" said the other, with

heroic achievements of Pere Marquette and Father Joliet are as much part of American history as of Canadian.

 Bishop Latu1ipe Is striking char acter, possessed of much energy and patience, but above all with deep devotion to. his cohntry.. He has de- termined to make this his life work.
