ON Christmas mig 1t, while walking
along the street. Mr.. Pecor was suddenly
assaulted by man, who beat him
severely about the head. Two cuts We're
made on the forehead and two or three
cuts on the back part of the head and
when the assailant left Pecor was dazed
and bleeding. At this time Pecor was

WHY THE COOK STAYED.

The social matrons were having
meeting to discuss the neVer-endng ques-
ton Of cooks. 1t was the almost unani-
nous opinion Of the assembly, after an
hours talk. that it was Impossible to keep
a cook moro than month without
changing. However" announced the
president III any person knows of an
except ional case, let her speak"
At this the new member timidly rose.
'The exception is in my home" she said.
How long have you had your cook? ?"
asked the president.

For n moment the others stared in
amazement; then heads began to bob In
admiration. and more heads began TO
swing sidcwise in vigorous distrust Of
the statement
lis the cook entirely satisfactory as

My husband thinks not, but she stays
nevertheless"
"How do you manage to keep her them"
because she won't CO."
Aha,
This ejaculation which escaped from the
presidents mouth was flashed like magic
through the meeting until 1t became a
huge wave.
The president regarded the new men,
Der with half-pity. half-scorn.

ment, instead OF advancing a case in
which a long-sought solution might have
been found. you expose yourself as being
worse of than any of your sisters. You
show that by allowing this cook to stay
over the month you have enabled the
mental to attain and hold an ascendancy
over you and your husband-just the
thing this society has so long fought
against. No doubt you regret your posi-
tion. Mrs. Smith"

tillated about her. II am the cook

DERBY WANTS DISCUSSION.
Thinks People Need More Information
on Sewer Bond Election.

Editor Times Republican,: 1t has
been decided by the city council that
this city, at the coming general cleo
ton, shall vote on the proposition to is
sue bonds to the amount of $50. 900, the
proceeds from the sale of which are to
be used in completing the sewer sys-
tenn Notwithstanding that our in
debtedness is greater than ever before
and the tax levy is also greater. both
should be increa sed by the proposed
bond issue, if 1t is shown necessary to
the sanitary welfare of the city, and if
assurance is given that the money will
be expended SO as best TO secure that
welfare.
So far. the council has failed to show
why it is necessary to complete the
sewer system or even what is meant by
that expression. Do they mean that
they propose to construct a sewer thru
every street in the city? Why is it
necessary to com pIete the system? Is
it to satisfy need of the general pub
lie or OF a few individuals in order to
| improve their property and thereby
make It more valuable?
No matter who is responsible for it,
the fact remains that the records of the
sewer system have not been kept up
and that the people have been denied
| the proper use Of them for several
years. There are probably sewer mains
buried in the ground, the record OF
which Is lost and even memory Of their
existence gone. Do the taxpayers pro-
pose II furnish funds in order that the

About two years ago a plan was out
lined for providing money for sewer
work so that about $4,000 was immed-

adopted. but has not been put into
