Commissioner w. G. Tandy and City
Engineer w. S. Fulton this afternoon
made a tour through the Auburndale,
Melrose, Lowman Hill, Elmhurst and
College Hill additions investigating the
most prodigious sewer proposition
which the city has handled in months
Petitions for the sewers have been
fled by the people of several of the
additions mentioned. but there seemed
to be no practical plan of handling the
situation without combining the sec
tions interested into one benefit dis
trict.
1t is probable at the regular meet
ing of the city commissioners on Mon
dav morning, a resolution will be pre-
sented by Commissioner Tandy declar-
ing it advisable to run sewer through
the districts named, which would be
about two and one-quarter miles IN
length, and extending from the river
south as far as Seventeenth street and
west as far as Washburn avenue 1t
is impossible at the present time to
estimate the cost or size of the con-

If the resolution is presented or
MONDAY and eventually is adopted the
people will have 20 days in which to
file protests. Then it will be up to the
city engineer to make the necessary
levels.

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

To be able to give gracefully is
rather unusual talent.
But to be able to receive gracefully
is an infinitely rarer one.
The childish and prolonged squabbles
we hear so often in street cars over
the payment of fares are an excellent
example of the inability of many of us
to accept a favor simply and grace
fully
To protest and make much fuss and
feathers about receiving favor seems
to be the popular idea of gratitude.
AS a matter of fact, it is extremely
bad taste to protest a favor that you
know in your heart you will accept in
the end. Accept promptly and simply.
Say THANK your in the prettiest and
most gracious way that you know
how, but with as little fuss and feath-
ers as possible, and you honor your
benefactor far more than by gong
through a rigamarole of protest.
I had the pleasure of meeting the
other day a well known woman of
whose brilliance and charm mad long
heard, and the thing which impressed
me about her, even more tnan her
witty conversation and her beauty, was
the perfect graciousness and simplicity
with which she accepted 1t when an
other member of the party oHereo h9r
| a more comfortable chair
There is, of course, SUCH a thing as
| the self-worship which accepts all
| favors sirnpIv and unprotestingly just
because it looks upon them as tribute
| due.
But / do not mean that kind or SIM
plicity. l mean the kind that seems 10

home in the country.
Some of her friends and office mates,
thinking it was a good opportunity to
do by her as she had done by others,
got together and made up a purse
which they planned to give her on her
departure.
And she who had been INDUCING for
years in the joy of giving refused to
help others to do the same happiness

The Ressinaist-

There are some people who are al- ways looking for troubIe.' If it rains they are sure the crops will be drowned out before it stops, and if it is dry they are sure that everything will be burned up before 1t rains. Their discoura ging outlook is like that of an old lady who watched the first trial of new trolley line in her town.
 4 crowd had gathered to see the first car make it's initial trip. A great deal of preparatory work seemed to be required by the motorman, and as the people stood and watched every move- ment this old lady, to whom the idea of q car being able to move without any visible propelling power was in- comprehensible, kept remarking: 'Itn never go. It'll never go"
 Finally everything was adjusted to the motorman's satisfaction. He turn ed the switch, and the car sped away down the track
 The old Iady's eyes opened wide. She watched the car for a moment, and then, with amazement still written upon her features but with firm con- viction in her voice, she turned once more to the crowd and said. "Itn never stopr'-Youth's Companion.

 "Ah, Jake!" he said. Did you know some one robbed my garden the other night?"

 ''Yes," nodded Professor Pumper- dinck. But the thief left his mark be- hind, so I'll easily trace him" He pro- duced the enlargement Do you see that?"

The Woolsack-

It is q curious fact that the wool sack on which the lord chancellor sits in the British house of lords is not, strictly speaking, in the house of lords, and this is why when the lord chan cellor rises to take part in debate he first of all moves away from the wool sack to his own place as a peer before he speaks. The fact, too, explains why noble lords who desire to avoid voting sometimes merely withdraw to the woolsack, where. not being in parliamentary sense within the house, they are not counted in a division. Again, though the lord chancellor is now invariably 8 peer, he is not neces- sarily so, and as q matter of fact the office has been held several times in the past by commoners. In such cases the lord chancellor could take no part in debate, not having a place in the house as a peer. and his functions as speaker were strictly limited to the putting of questions and other formal proceedings regulated by precedent from the woolsack.-London Graphic.
