| Tin the winter months) Is the real,
truly, accepted time to institute a
campaign against the flies.
The idea seemed to prevail with
him that we should go about armed
with a good sized sack of salt, a
bushel of quicklime, blow gun full OF
| red pepper, a bucket of coal tar, and
a good sized two by four club, tapered
at the end so that good hold can
be made, and lay silently in wait tor
the festive, nimble, pesky, agitative
fly, and swat it good one, with Juice
dust and joust, as 1t emerged from the
cracks in the walls
Special directions were made as
to the proper course of procedure.
During these cold, clammy nights OF
winter, when the thermometer is rang
ing or dancing around % below zero,
you should sashay around barefoot so
that the flies cannot hear you move,
be sure to keep perfect quietness in the
house; If you have children, see that
they are properly muzzled and gagged,
cut the wires of the electric door bell,
choke up the noise of the telephone,
and don't speak above whisper; new
er mind wrapping up warm, the light
Ell the fabric the easier 1t will be for
you to get around; shut off all cleo
trio lights and night lamps, providing
yourself only with burglars dark
lantern and jimmy, that in case OF
necessity you can pry open the cracks,
so that you will have better oppor-
tunity TO spring on them unawares;
have your sack of salt ready, small
bottle of chloroform is also good in an
emergency. 1t doesn't matter how you
spring as long as you get the fly;
you should not take notice of the
tack that happens in your path, such
small matters should not worry you !;
then after you have fixed the pesky
rascal, give him a good biff with your
club; be sure that you hit IL squarely
so that there will not be any danger
of it rising up to do any more damage
then sprinkle all around with quick
lime, coal tar and other stuff (neveI
mind the coal tar being sticky as Ions
as It does the work., so that every
crevice and crack is thoroughly de
odorized. You will have the satisfac
ton of knowing that one more var
mint has gone to the happy hunting

WHO SHOvElS
THE SNOW

Snow was falling. All day
long the streets we're filled with the
merry Christmas shoppers as they
hurried from one store to another.
Some walked with haste; they with
lots to do and limited time in which
to do 1t. Others meandered slowly
along. stopping every now and then
to look in the windows and admire
the beautiful displays. Some were
young, some old. Some were bent with
care while some had caught the Christ
mas feeling and their merry smiles
frightened the scene. But all--the
hurried, the time-gifted, the young,
the old, the worried and the merry, all
waded through the slush and the
snow that covered the sidewalks in
front Of the very places of business
where they expected to make their
purchases. And why? Perhaps the
merchants were too busy within, car
ing for the wants of the customers to
note the need for care on the outside.
Perhaps they didn't care. What would
it matter to them whether the patrons
came through the slush and the snow
or whether they walked on the clean.
cement pavement which is their
right! What cared they whether they
slipped and fell or whether some PEE
destrian, loaded down with packages
should slip in front of the very store
where he had made the purchases, and
the packages be scattered to the four
ends of the sidewalk? DO you suppose
that the customer wouldn't utter
that he would forget? Why do the
stores all say come and then make
those that do come, slip and slide,
waddle and walk, hither and thither,
up and down, through the slush and
the snow?

counsel OF the men constituting our municipal

out compensation devoted so much of their time

their course in the consideration Of the matter
