ing his appointments only two Of

received the usual $40 she has been
receiving from the city funds this
month. Commissioner Bridgman and
the mayor informed her that the

to contribute city funds to benevo-
lent work, that the matter would be
taken up with the county commits
sioners and would be held under ad-
visement Mr.. Selvidge estimated thai

ciety had been spending in all
\ large crowd of visitors were
present at the city hall to learn
whom the appointees would be. Some
were elated, some were disappointed
but on the whole the people were
of the opinion that the commissioners
have the burden of city government
upon their shoulders and they should
choose whom they think is proper to
carry out the policy of the adminls-
tration.

not word in Daubs Advanced Spell

"Will | get frightened?' said the
little girl. well, do not think ! will
