City Chat
The Boy From Town.

Last night boy came here from town
To stay a week or so
Because his NAV is all run down
And needs a rest, you know.
His name is Cecil, and he's eight,
And he can't skin the cat
His NAV she calls him Pet; I'd hate
To have a name like that
He wears a collar and tie
And can't hang by his toes;
l guess that 1 would nearly die
If l had on his clos;
He can't ride bareback, and today
When We slid on the straw
He asst if roosters help TO lay
The eggs l pick for nav.
When our gander hissed he run
AS though he thought he'd bite
And he amt never shot a gun
Or made a homemade kite;
He never milked a COW and he
Can't even dive or swim
I'd hate to think that he was me-
I'm glad that / amt him.
He thinks its lots of fun to pump
And see the water squirt.
But won't climb in the barn and jump
For fear of gettin' hurt.
His clos are offle nice and fine.
His hairs all over curls,
His hand amt half as big as mine,
He ought TO play with girls
4 little while ago when We
Were foolin' in the shed,
He suddenly got mad at me
Because bumped his head
There's lots of things that he can't do

that it will be necessary to lay about
1000 feet of main, which will be laid
in furrow to prevent its being broken

General Dickson also made reQuisi-
ton for 20 arc lights, to install which
the lighting company's electricians will

necessary TO run line from the assem-

have to be set about the grounds. The
officials desire plenty of light to aid
in the policing Of the camp.
WORKING ON ROADWAY.
The highway commissioners and the
municipal street department have been
working on the roadway, which will
divide the camping grounds and are
getting into excellent shape. 1t is being
graded so the entire width Of II can be
used, and the banks VIII also be graded
OF. It is possible that just before the
first Of the soldiers arrive the road will
be given a treatment of oil to keep the
dust down during the militia's stay in
the city.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2i.-Attorney Gen

kan coal land bill before the senate COM

bill would tie up all lands so as to make

Particular attention was devoted by Mr.
Wickersham to the Cunningham claims.
which figured so conspicuously in the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy. He took the
position that II the courts decided the
Cunningham claimants were entitled to the
coal claims filed upon by them and the
courts decided likewise in the cases Of
about 200 other claims, the lands involved
should be released to the claimants. In
such an event said the attorney general
there will be no need for the passage OF such

TO raise one-fifth Of the amount. Though
Grand Island was conceded TO have
treated the college most literally in the

slogan, Twenty thousand dollars in twenty
