Says He Can Prove State
ments Criticised by Parry,
But Is Not Looking for a
Newspaper Battle.
Ex-CITY CONTROLLER
GROWS QUITE WRATHY
Issues a Public Statement in
Which He Defends SchiIIin-
ger Administration Regard
ing Finances.

Declaring that he did not desire the
publicity of personal newspaper en-
counter, Mayor w. w. Zimmerman said
this afternoon, however, that the state.
ments he had made in his inaugural
address before council, which state.
ments were repudiated in a strong
public letter by former City Controller
Webster Parry, were absolutely cor
rect. Further than this Mayor Zim-
norman refused to discuss the matter
only to state that he would make the
same statements in council again II
necessary, and that his information
came from a reliable source.
Mr.. Parry alleges that Mayor Zim-
norman has entirely misrepresented
facts. He makes sweeping denial OF
the charges made against him and de.
clares that the charge made by Mayor
Zimmerman that his predecessor left
large debts due and unpaid, and but
little money with which to pay them,
ID .in scriptural language, lie."
Grows Quite Sassy.
Mr.. Parry asserts that the mayor is
reported to have stated that SIT ,OOO
was paid during 1909 for gathering gar.
bage. when the real figures were $4,-
234.5O. He declares that the misrep
reservations were made by the mayor
and some members of his official fam.
liy with malice aforethought, knowing
the statements made to have been
false, or they were mude through such
gross ignorance as to totally unfit the
authors for any public office.
The charge alleged by Mr.. Parry to
have been made by Mayor Zimmerman
that the preceding administration left
but $1,000 to pay city's share OF the
costs of streets, alleys and sewers
made during 1910, is said by Mr.. Parry
to be both false and misleading. He
states that it did not leave a dollar
for that or for any other specific pur
pose, but that he did leave over $50 600
from which payments for improve
ments or for any other legal claims
against the city could be paid. He &C
cused the mayor with ignorantly con.
fusing the cash with the appropriations
which must be made by council before
claims can be paid.
Mr.. Parry alleges that these state
ments, which he says are false, were
apparently made for no better pur
pose than to cover up the most palpa
BILE ignorance of the complainants, tc
mystify the people and to call theil
attention away from something which
might not bear close inspection.

THE NIGHTMARE.
A Ride on This Strenuous Animal Is
Generally Exciting.

A Ride on This Strenuous Animal Is
Generally Exciting.
The nightmare is one of the best
known of all animals and one of the
most feared. She is wilder than the
tiger and more frightful in it's
speed than the turkey buzzard. A
young nightmare with no previous
experience can fling a 200 pound
man over her TANKS and carry him
all over the south sea islands and
the Cobb desert in less time than it
would take him to look them up on
the map
The nightmare is so called be-
cause she is always ridden at night.
She is somewhat timid, but may
be easily caught. Mix up little
crab flake, some mayonnaise and
some rich pastry and you can catch
her with it every time. She will
also come for mince pie, for broiled
lobster, for chicken salad and for
variety of other temptations.
Once the nightmare is caught it
is no trouble to ride her. 1t is no
fun either. The nightmare usually
wears high saddle without stir
rups and studded with redhot nails.
She rocks like ship in gale as
I she dashes from mountain peak to
mountain peak. The rider soon
looscs his hold and slides down.

through acres of glass and ice. 0c-
! casionally the mare comes after him
and tramps on him. Sometimes she
varies this by eating his legs. When
the ride is over the rider wakens

upon other members of the family

Asking Questions Of tho Cuckoo.

a curious legend regarding the
cuckoo is found among the Danes,
which, with some notifications, is
likewise current in many parts of
Germany, in England and the north
of Europe. When in early spring
time the voice of the cuckoo is first
heard in the woods every village
girl kisses her hand and asks the
question, "Cuckoo, cuckoo, when
shall be married?" and the old
folks inquire, Cuckoo, cuckoo,
when shall be released from this
worlds carcs:?' The bird in an
swer continues singing "Cuckoo" as
many times as years will elapse be-
fore the object of their desires will
come to pass. But as some old peo-
pie live to an advanced age and
many girls marry late in life the
poor bird has so much to do in an
swering the questions put to her
that the building season goes by.
She has no time to make her nest,
but lays her eggs in that of the
hedge sparrow.

thoughtlcssly implanted kiss upon
her fair check. She was princess
OF the royal household, which the
prince knew not. Neither did he
know that she was an atlianccd
bride and that her bctrothcd was
near by and saw the whole affair.
