in renting his building because wagons

The Board took no action on the
petitions before them. except IN so far
as the remarks of Alderman Dedman
went, who said he did not see how the
Board could interfere with legal bus

however, to amend the ordinance now

in one building, so as to allow automo-
biles to, carry whatever gasolene is
necessary, but to prevent the storage
of gasolene in bulk in greater
amount than five gallons. All automo-
bies carry from seven to ten gal
Ions of gasolene and some of the
larger ones more than that, and every
automobile practically in town is now
violating the gasolene ordinance.
High Street Sidewalks.
The High street sidewalk business
caused some rather pointed argument
The committee in charge Of the matter
reported favorably on making High
street from Eighth to Sixth so feet
wide from curb to curb provided
the property owners on both sides OF
the street would build concrete side
walks under certain specifications the
property so taken in by the property |
holders to remain in title to the city. |
1t was further provided that the |
fences along the way should be taken
down. Alderman Swansburg objected. !
He said he did not want to do this
along mis- property in the section ef-
fected. nor did Mr. Lamb, and he did
not see by what right the city could
force it on them. 1t was stated, how
ever, that where property owners did
not want to join in the matter, other
property owners would build the side
walks in front Of the property of the
property owners. Mr..
Swansburg still objected but the mat

After the game was over, and the
shouting, there was, as usual, big
dinner, at which the head master pre-
sided. He spoke, and the coach
spoke, and the captain, and then there
were cries for Babb. The boy rose,
tall, cool, master of himself.

Babb went right on:
That set me to thinking. 1t
seemed to me If a boy could love
the game as he did, and yet be as

He sat down suddenly, and because
the speech and the emotion were both
unexpected, the boys were quite still
for moment.
The head master leaned over to the
coach. smiling.

Up jumped the coach.

Apple Soume.

Boil three ounces of rice in pint
of milk till tender, mash it to a pulp,
line cake tin with it and place 1t in
the oven till quite firm and set. Turn
1t into dish and fill the frame with
souffle made as follows: Stew five
apples, sweetening and flavoring them
with little cinnamon or Glove. Beat
the yolks of three eggs with an ounce
and half of butter and mix them
with the apples. Set on the fire for
few minutes in order to mix we'll
together. Let the mixture then stand
in basin for a short while, add the
whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff
froth, and mix all together. Fill the
rice frame with this and bake till
golden brown.
This makes a simple, old-fashioned
dish which is both tempting and
wholesome. Pare, core and quarter
some apples overnight and place them
in fruit casserole with half a pound
of sugar which has been previously
dissolved in teacupful of water. Let
them get well heated, then draw the
casserole to the side of the stove,
taking care that the lid fits closely.
Leave all night and the apples will
be quite tender in the morning

eyes were full of tears.
"Nonsense!" said the coach. "You
played good game, Pinkham. Don't
you fret. | wish you were twenty or
thirty pounds heavier, but you did
your level best, and that's all any
body can do"
I'm too light" repeated Pinkham,
mournfully.
"It's perfectly true" said the coach
afterward to Edwards. "He is too
light. I'm afraid Rockville will
smash things up round his end. What
do you say we play Horton with him
on that side of the line?"
ut wouldn't do" said Edwards.
1T would only weaken the other end
and throw Tommy all Off"
We'll anyway" said the coach,
"Pinkham keeps end-that's settled.
He's the best man that's played there,
in spite of his weight, and he's a
dandy little sportsman, besides"
Hes all that" admitted the cap
tain. "But 1 wish that man Babb
would come out!"
"Why don't you make one more
try?" asked the coach.
"I think l WILL" said Edwards.
Early on Monday afternoon he
went to Babb's room.
Look here, Babb," he said, "I'm
no beggar, but I've got something to
say to you.' He outlined the situa-
ton, and ended, Now the school
needs you; will you come out?"
Babb, tall, dark, quiet young fell
low, listened in silence. When Ed
wards had finished, he answered:
ITO tell the truth. Edwards, I've
been thinking the thing over, and l
guess was wrong. Yes, I'll come
out"
Good" said Edwards. Today"
"To-day, certainly. When l make
up my mind, make it up"
The captain, overjoyed, fastened to
find the coach. On the way one
thought troubled him little-the
recollection that when Babb came

dropped.

But if B&bb makes good. it's got to be

Eyes, that's true" said Edwards.
Babb came out, and little Pinkham
retired to the scrub, where he played
as faithfully and apparently with as
much enjoyment as on the first
eleven. In three weeks more came
the great game with Rockville, and
Valleyside won. Babb was every

Where jet Comes From.

Considering the enormous vogue of
jet, for trimming and ornaments of
every description, the following note,
taken from the current number Of
Style, is of interest:
"Out OF the face of steep cliffs at
Whitby has come for more than 1900
years Jet answering the highest re-
quirements. The jet comes in flet-
tened layers. the largest pieces ever
found being about six feet long and
weighing about fifteen pounds. From
three to four tons have been mined
in a year at Whitby, and the town
has received as much as 100000 for
a years output of jet manufactured
into ornaments.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Marvellous as it may seem, young
woman has discovered a way of
fastening a waist up the back without
calling for assistance. Though not
lacking in generosity, in recent tray-
els she got so tired of the outstretched
palm of the .chambermaids that she
felt it was time to guard her pocket.
She discovered that If she put a
blouse on hind side before, with the
sleeves hanging free, it could be
fastened from top to bottom, with
the exception of the hooks at the
neck, and then turned around and the
arms slipped into the sleeves without
upduly straining the fastenings. So
simple. Strange that no one had
thought of it before. Or is it possi-

and meanly have kept it to them
selves? Will the waist that fastens

The boy actually jumped.
what, sir-I?" he said.
"Hurry up!" answered the coach
And Pinkham's eyes shone like the
candles he was named for as he
trotted to his place.
The game that week was with
Neoka The field was wet and the
ball slippery. The first time Tommy
Horton was given the ball, he
squeezed it out of his arms before he
was fairly started
There was a wild scramble. When
the players of both sides were un-
tangled, at the bottom was Candle
Pinkham, the ball hugged tight to
his stomach. Valleyside made three
more fumbles in the first ten minutes,
and in two out of the three little
Pinkham saved the ball. Then VAL
leyside braced and scored.
'Rah, 'rah, 'rah, Horton!" yelled
the crowd; and then, after a moment,
'Rah, 'rah, 'rah, Pinkham! Through
the dirt on his face the boys embar-
rassed smile made its way.
Neoka kicked off, and the running
and smashing began again. So, also,
did the fumbling. At last Valleyside' s
right half got the ball, circled the op-
posing end, but was caught by the de-
fensive halfback; and as he was
tackled the ball flew high and wide.
Pinkham, racing behind, caught II
on lucky bound, and pushed on; but
the opposing fullback tackled him
squarely, and down they went in a
heap. Noaka's captain and right
tackle, boy weighing a hundred and
seventy pounds, came up, and just as
the referees whistle blew, hurled
himself s~T0"7ly upon Pinkham and

Character.

Much has been heard OF the eyes,
the hands and the features as delinea-
tors OF character, but very little OF
the hair in this connection. Though
It is scarcely more than a surmise,
It is said that a jealous disposition
and possibly unreliability are denoted
by dull. black hair. A person with
light hair is sensitive to criticism
and sights. Good judgment and COM
mon sense rest upon the head of the
owner of brown hair of a deep color
and firm texture. Though women
with red hair have long been consid-
cred impulsive and tactless, they also
possess, honesty and sincerity, and
are usually of bright, sunny disposl-
ton. Straight hair is said to be indlca-
tive OF an obstinate, unyielding ma
ture. 1t is not worth while TO worry
over these things about hair, since
one cannot change them; but to grow
facetious for a minute, 1t might be
we'll to remember these points in case
you ever have to purchase a strand or
two. New Haven Register.

Girl Invented the Penwiper.

1t is said that the ingenious. young
woman who invented the frilly doll
penwipers has made money out of her
idea.
A clothespin is the nucleus of each
penwiper. With this as the anatom-
ical frame she produces brides,
actresses, nuns, nurses-ladies, in
short, of every degree. In order to
conceal the clothespin extremities,
long skirts in sumptuous folds char
acterize the gowns of Miss Penwiper;
and the banker, the lawyer and au-
thor wipe their pens on her petticoats
According to Brooklyn Life, the
fame of these ladies has spread, and
now their inventor has partner and
a factory.

New Material For Motor Coats.

"Of what is your new motor coat
made?" is repeatedly heard in the
days talk of women in the streets
and tempting shops where clothes
seem the only thing in the world. 1t
is a very important matter, and fur
riers' are at their wits ends to find
something different" There is one
new medium in the market, however,
which produces a delicately mottled
effect in brown and white, and is
called mink gills." 1t is made from
the tiny pieces under the ears of the
animal the whole coat being a COM
plicated patchwork of these pieces.
1t makes one want to give up scorch-
ing, for that takes away every oppor-
tunity worth mentioning to display
it's magnifcence to envious throngs.

and the referee pulled the men apart,
little Pinkham did not move.
