Why Kitty Is Puss.

A great many years ago the people
of Egypt, who had many idols, wor-
shiped the cat among others. They
thought she was like the moon, be-
cause she was more active at night
and because her eyes changed like the
moon. So they made an idol with a
cats head and named it Pasht. The
same name they gave to the moon, for
the word means 1.-THE face of the
moon" The word has been changed
to "Pas" and "Pus" and has come at
last to be "Puss," the name the most
of us give to the cat.

The Town Charter Meeting.

The mass meeting of citizens called
for last Friday night by w. B. Campbell,
president of the town council, for the
purpose of acting on the report of the
citizens committee appointed to draft a
special charter, was attended by some
80 or 40 tax paying citizens OF the place.
The proposed special charter was read
by w. A. Russell, of the committee,
with remarks explanatory.
Mr.. +. ii. Williams of the committee
also explained its provisions and purpo-
Ses so that all present got clear under
standing of the extra rights which the
legislature will be asked to grant the
town authorities. These consist of the
right of the town TO assess its own prop
erty and 10 levy its own tax for town
purposes-the said assessment not to go
above one-fifth of the market value OF
the property, and the levy not to go
above 2 per cent. Another right asked
is the power TO build sidewalks and i'm
prove roads, assessing not more than
one-half the cost of same on abutting
property. The new charter asks for the
right of the town TO issue bonds for Ger.
tain improvements TO the amount OF III
per cent of the assessed valuation, but in
order 10 issue bonds the town must Sc
cure the affirmative vote of two-thirds
of the free holders who are qualified
voters of the place. The committee
stated that there was no present purpose
on the part of any one TO urge bond
issue, but that this provision was in
cluded in the charter in order to NEE
any future contingency that might arise
and that the issuing of bonds had beer
safe guarded so that there would have tc
be a quite universal demand in orde
ever TO secure them.
The report of the committee wa
unanimously approved by rising volt
on motion of Paul c. Smith and B. +
TillinghaSt.
Ira c. Pratt spoke for taxpayers witt
are not citizens and assured the meeting
of their full approval of all efforts Il
improve the town.
