FACT HE HAD OVERL looked
Lover Of Bowling Game Might Have
Attained Same Result at Much
Less Expense.

1.-THE obvious fact is often the most
evasive," remarked the New York
man. This is what mean: An old
boyhood friend of mine who has re-
manned back home in Maine made his
first trip to town yesterday. Natu-
rally he sought me out. took him
to the club with me. In the course of
the afternoon went to the bowling
alley and Joined some men at the
game. My friend refused to play, but
watched the progress Of the game with
evident interest. 1t was an of day
with me and I was stuck for nearly
every game. After the seventh or
eighth frame my friend stepped up to
me with some concern in his eyes and
asked. I suppose you like to play this
game?'
"'Certainly,' replied.
"'You play it for the exercise, prob
ably?'
II said that did.
"'It costs a lot of money, doesn't
it, he persisted.
II admitted that 1t had already cost
me about $40 that afternoon.
"'1 should think said my friend,
that 1t would be just as good exercise
and darned sight cheaper If you set
up the pins
THAT never occurred to me before. I"

Little Bison. member of the Brule

Cheap Books on Relloion.


Secondhand religious books are q
drug on the New York market. That
is apparent to everyone who makes
the rounds Of bookshops. Ponderous
tones, representing the accumulated
thoughts Of lifetime and conscien-
tious writing for years by brainy
preachers go begging for buyers at
five and ten cents. A man with q
hobby for religious books can stock q
library with them for 500 at that
rate. Many times Tip has seen push
carts in Grand, Canal, Rivington and
other east side streets literally groan-
ing beneath their loads of religious
books, which found few takers at one
cent apiece. Let those who are skep-
tical on these points pay heed when
next they look over the book trays in
front Of the places in Twenty.third,
Fifty-ninth and other streets wherein
secondhand books are sold. Let them
also look at the names Of the authors
of those books and see how cheaply
in this generation the best thoughts
of many of the best preachers in by.
gone years are being vended.-New

Orange Blossoms.

The origin Of the custom of wearing
orange blossoms as bridal ornaments
has been variously accounted for: ~
This custom is said to have ORIGINATED
among the Saracen brides, and to have
ben introduced into Europe BY the
Crusaders. The Saracens REGARDED
the orange tree as the emblem Of f.
cundity, since 1t bore blossoms and
fruit at the same time. (2) According
to another theory, orange blossoms
were worn by brides. not only on &C.
count OF their agreeable odor, but also
on account Of their rarity and conse-
Quent high price. (3) This custom ia
said to have taken its rise in Spain.
where oranges have been successfully
cultivated for centuries, and to have
spread thence all over Europe.

OrioIn Of Commerce.

Commerce-the International trafflc

traftic-was undoubtedly originated by
the wonderful little people known in
history as the Phoenicians. The "Yan.
KEGS of antiquity" the Phoenicians
traded with various peoples long be-
fore the other nations had crossed
their respective frontiers. All along
the shores Of the Mediterranean. and
up the coast of the Atlantic az far
north as the British Isles, their ships
were to be found. leaving their manu-
features and wonderful dyes, and brink.

other articles as paid them to deal in.

It passed on to Greece and Rome. and.

Council Chamber. City of Virginia, Mimi,
June 16, 1910
Special meeting of the city council called
to order by the President.
Present-Aldermen Boylan. Weber. Her
itaRe, Hmball. NOLAN. Staff. H. o. Johnson,
E. c. A. johnson, Mr.. Presidento.
Absent-None.
After the roll call the mayor stated to the
council the object of the meeting was for
the purpose of talking over and settling the
question of the paving of the various
streets and avenues NOW under contract
and to try and settle the dispute which
had arisen.
City Attorney Poirier addressed the coun-
Gil at length relative to the legal part of
the contracts as let to H. L. Bartlett Com
pany and p. Mcdonnell and stated that
there were two ways out of the difficulty
and these were; First, to have II. L. Bart
lett Company proceed with the Bitulithic
paving on Maple street and Central ave
nue.. on the latter to the south line of Maple
street and then by an understanding be-
tween this company and P. Mcdonnell
have the remainder of the avenue paved
with creosote blocks at the same figure as
submitted by p. Mcdonnell from the north
side of Maple street to Willow street, or
complete his contract for Bitulithic paving
by II. L. Bartlett Company on Maple street
and advertise for proposals on Central ave
nue., which would take considerable time
and by the previous arrangement the con-
tracts could be signed and the work pro-
coed at once and as the council having the
city engineer as it's agent according to the
contracts as written could take from or add
to this class of work.
1t was definitely understood by and be-
tween H. L. Bartlett Company and p. Nc
Donnell and these contractors and the city
council that the arrangement as made was
entirely satisfactory and it was on this ar
ran9ement that the mayor and the coun-
Gil were fully satisfied to have the work
proceed.
Moved and supported that the council
adjourn.

to n. L. Bartlett Company for Bitulithic

Chestnut street and the various avenues
north and south of Chestnut street with

the awarding the contracts by the council
seemed to have caused considerable feel
ing between the contractors and also some
of the property owners inasmuch az it was
maintained and also deemed that Btu

one and the same preparation and also the

short her visit in Spain last summer
because she was mistaken for the
dowager queen. She had no idea she

her resemblance to the queen. Going
to Madrid little later she was sur

difference shown her by the people, as
well as by great many OF the Of
ficials. This made her a little nery-

her visit to Spain and go where she
did not resemble any royal person.

REPRESENTATIVE S. c. SMITH, of
California, AYERS that "there never
was time when the newspapers
and magazines had less influence
for good than they have today" and
states that eff I wanted to be elected
mayor of a city, the first thing
would do would be to go out and
slap every editor in the face" We
don't enjoy personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Smith, but we'll bet our
whole burned" print,shop against
hole in a doughnrt that he did
not pursue any such tactics when
he was running for congress. But
considering the fact that Mr.. Smith
owns the Kern County (Cal) Echo,
of which he has been editor since
1885. he may have some idea of the
status of the press in it's powers for
good, although we have never
heard particularly of his attempt
