Great Northern Will Make Three
Thousand Foot Bore in Crossing
Mcdonald Creek Divide.
FRANCHISE
Council in Special Session Friday
Night Grant Privilege of Streets
and Alleys.

That it is the intention OF the Great
Northern railway to tunnel the Nc
Donald creek divide rather than to at
tempt to locate a surface grade over
the hills was evidenced yesterday by
the filing of condemnation proceed
lngs against a number OF property
owners about thirteen miles east Of
this city. The defendants are Doctor
II. G. Nichols, L. NJ. Drinkard, La
vinia Fitch, Harley Piper and Her
bert Wynn. The suit was filed, it is
understood, in order to forestall the
Milwaukee from securing control Of
the site sought and for the further
reason that several OF the property
owners are out Of the city. The Of
iicials OF the Great Northern express
the belief that the claims Of the prop
crty owners will be adjusted without
the necessity Of suit.
City Grants Franchise.
At special meeting OF the city
counsel, held Friday evening, the ap-
picatlon Of the Great Northern for a
franchise granting them the right to
lay tracks across certain streets and
alleys, was taken up. With few
minor amendments which related to
the length Of time street Shall be
closed by passing trains, the franchise
was granted as requested

The members OF the graduating
class went to the Presbyterian church
i'll a body Sunday evening and there
listened to the baccalaureate sermon

There came unto him woman hav-

ment and poured it on his head, as he
sat at meat" The full life" said the
speaker, ''is one OF expenditure and ef-

treasure to meet crying needs, doing
the duty ordained by education and
training"

In tn. Nursery

If the nursery window is not pro-
tected by outside bars, hammer large
screw or nail into the groove of the
lower sash so that the window cannot
be raised more than six inches.
If the top sash is drawn down, this
is quite enough for ventilation, and, no
matter how ingenious OF EentuFesome
the little ones may be, they cannot
wriggle through the small lower open
ing.
Provide each little one in the nursery
with its own towel, sponge, hairbrush
and toothbrush and teach the children
that 1t Is not right to use each others
things
Hairbrushes should be kept perfect
ly clean and frequently washed In
soda water.
sponges, too, should be treated in
the same way and when. they are
greasy and Shiny they should be clean
ed by placing them in boiling water
in which soda--two ounces to each
quart of water-has been dissolved and
left for twenty-four hours to soak.
Afterward rinse in vinegar and water.

The chIIdrsn,s Guido.

A novel way Of earning a living has
been discovered by an old man who
lives In London. just close to his
home there is a point where five busy
roads meet, and crossing through all
the traffic is something Of an ordeal.
But numbers of school children have
to do 1t, much to the anxiety Of their
mothers
So "Old joe" as he is called. though
his name is William Willcrox, hit upon
the idea Of taking the children across.
And now he is to be seen every day
picking his way carefully past tram
way cars and through the crowded
traffic with small child clinging to
each arm, while on the pavement be
hind a small crowd Of other children
are awaiting their turn.
He reckons to take about 300 school
children across the road in this way
every day and lives entirely on the
tips given him by grateful parents.

officer informed the duke that 1t was
impossible.
The duke sent for another officer, a
much younger man and attached to
another division Of the army. This Of
ficer did what the duke required.
The next morning there appeared In
the orders OF the day the following
epigrammatic note: HE who in war

There are some problems In raising
an only. child. How to restrain from
seIfskness is one Of these. Another
Is how to create the Independence
which is usually the portion of mem
bers of large family.
Here is the story of one woman who
seems to be bringing her one little girl
up In exactly the right way.

she added emphatically.

Eve little daughters receive scores OF

each card Is written history of the

The Coin Hunter at Work

One of the most curious of the many
curious trades OF Paris is that of the
coin hunter Many coins must be
dropped by inadvertence each day in
big city like Paris, and the business
of the coin hunter Is to find as many of
them as he can. Sometimes, according
to the confession of one of them these
poor creatures pick up as much as
francs day, but their average takings
amount to l franc so centimes.
The manufacture OF immortelle
wreaths in Paris occupies at least
1900 persons. The immortelles are
gathered about the beginning of Octo-
ber and come chiefly from the arid
hills in the middle and south of France.
They are brought 10 the markets in
their natural condition, and the yellow
blossoms are dyed green, red and white
and woven into wreaths by special
workmen in readiness for All Saints
and All Souls days when all good
Parisiaps visit their relatives graves
One of the strangest occupations fol-
lowed by the people OF the teeming
east side OF New York is that of dish
lender" There are only two men--one
a Hebrew and the other an Itaiian-in
the business. The former has his "es-
tablishment" in the basement OF a six
story tenement house. The place is
almost entirely lined with rows of
shelves, on which are neatly arranged
tea and dinner services of varied colors
and patterns, besides dishes and plates
of all kinds. In one corner is a large
wooden box divided into numerous par
titions for the knives. forks. spoons
and other "silyerware" Most of the
borrowers are as regular as clock
work in their requirements on Satur-
days and Sundays
