Read Meter Through Opera Glasses

nCG6 fUCACi O6Ss VIVA NfASSOS'
ITO the long list of celebrities that
have been started at through my OPP
era glasses the gas meter has now
been added" said a city woman. The
meter in our fat is placed so high
on the kitchen wall that step-ladder,
chair or table is necessary to boost
the reader within seeing distance.
Yesterday when the inspector came
the step ladder was broken and the
chairs and tables were otherwise en-
gagged. He took the inconvenience
very good naturally.
Just lend me a pair of opera
glasses he said, and 1 can see 1t all
right
"The glasses were brought and the
reader proceeded to stare through
them. Presently he read off row of

COOP ON HAREM SKIRT PLAN
Colorado Man Erects Fancy Chicken
House on Pattern Intended for
Wife's New Dress.

Greeley, Colo.-When Mrs. Henry
Coates returned this morning from
trip east she was surprised and de-
lighted to find that her husband had
constructed a fancy new chicken
house during her absence. They had
had many disputes over its location
and size and she saw upon it many
new-fangled ideas for which she
could find no use. Questioning him
about it, he declared that he had
built the coop from planS he had
found in her desk. He spread them
out on the table for her inspection
when she doubted his story. She told
him that they were the specifications,
not for hencoop, but for her new
harem skirt.

council is looking with favor on the
proposition and yesterday expressed an
intention of calling a special meeting
to further look into the matter as soon
as County Engineer Ray Seeley com
pletes plans and specifications for the
structure.
Some time ago $500 was appropriated
for this purpose, but sickness on the
part of the engineer and other causes
contributed to the delay which has at
tended the preparation of these neces-
sary preliminaries. Mr.. Seeley will be
requested to proceed at once with the
work and the special meeting will be
called Immediately after this is COM
pleted. The councilmen express their
interest in the proposed bridge, but are
powerless to go ahead without at least
a rough draft of the structure and
specifications which may be used as a
guide to contractors who wish to bid
on the work.
There was a good delegation present
from Indiana Harbor and East Chicago.
Among the number were Mayor A. G.
