Nicoll, is one OF the bachelor members
Of the New York Board OF Aldermen
who approves the taxing OF confirmed
bachelors. There's a. reason. Young

Furthermore he has selected as his
Aluermanic guests only those members
81 the Board who are not benedlcts
and the list Is large.
In view OF a suggestion that bache-
lors be taxed the bachelor Aldermen
scent in the invitations a plan to force
them into the ranks OF the welded.

MISTAKE OF BUSY SENATOR
Rubber Stamped Form Letter to In. fluentiaI Constituent Brings
 Forth a Reply In Kind.

prominent middle western sen ator fell into a practice common in Washington of allowing a secretary to sign the formers name to much of his correspondence with a rubber stamp. He was warned against the custom, but laughingly remarked that the farmers out there wouldn't know the difference Likewise the senator. as many have. have a stereotyped re- ply to communications. It 80 hap pened that one Of these form stamped letters was sent 10 8 substantial and influential constituent. Nothing was known of the break until a few months later, when the senator. en. deavoring to rebuild his fences, wrote a letter to the constituent inquirlng of political conditions in the home state. prompt reply was received at the capitol, addressed to the sen stor. and in the exact form which he had written to the constituent It read:
 Dear Sir: Your valuable communi- cation of the 9th inst. duly received. It gives us much pleasure to consider the suggestions contained therein" The letter was signed with q rubber stamp, not once. but several times. in each instance upside down. For it seems the secretary had hastily stamped the original outgoing letter downside u2.-LesIie's Weekly.

From the Crowd.

The cautious player had been fin for nearly half an hour without scoring a single run, and the fielders were be- ginning to get annoyed. His gentle play at last grew so pronounced that they closed in to within few feet of him, waiting eagerly for catch. The light began to fail. It was essential that his wicket, which was the last. should fall before the time came to draw stumps. Closer and closer came the felders, until there was barely room for the player TO raise his bat. Suddenly a thin piping voice was heard from amongst the spectators: Look out, Bill" it said. Take care you don't get your pockets picked!"

 The Douglas high school boys are hard and faithfully at work since their defeat at the hands oi & A. team two weeks ago. Douglas was prepared to meet Bisbee last Saturday, but Bisbee became afraid and cancelled their date.
 Coach Hatcher has rounded his team in good shape and this week will be spent in perfecting three CT four plays. The loss of the ser vices of George Scheerer, Leslie Fisher and Ted Rice, of last year's team. will be felt to some extent in weight. Other players have been put in their places and the Yacan- eies were filled from the former smaller teams such as the Grammar school and t'ump house teams. The players of the smaller teams have grown iu weight and knowledge, and hence are not novices.

The High School football team is taking on the finishing touches and Coach Henry says that it will be in splendid condition to meet the Doug las team Saturday afternoon at Doug- les.
