LENTEN SACRIFICES.

Father is the least religious
OF our family in bent,
But he'll do the most prodigious
aAOt of giving up in Lent.
Mother and the girls are planning
And a seamstress have engaged
And the fashion books are scanned
With an ardor unassuaged
Chat of gowns and hats and so forth
Is at table all we hear,
The unfailing signs which show forth
Joyous Easter draweth near.
And though dad invents some clacking
OF dull times and coal and rent
Well he knows he'll do whacking
Lot of giving up this Lent.

there appeared representative of the
Guaranty and Deposit company, which
made bond for the General Contracting
and Construction company when the
latter concern was given contract for
the building of the now water plant.
The Guaranty and Deposit company
has been made defendant i'm a suit by
the city to recover on the bonding con-
tract because the construction company
failed TO complete its contract. The rep
resentative urged the council to make
compromise of the matter and claimed
that his company was not liable on the
bond because the plans for the water
plant were materially changed when
the city undertook to complete the job
and found that ii cost $1,000 more
money than the contract called for
The council did not give any encour-
agement to the compromise proposi-
ton and tile litigation. which is in the
federal court at Birmin CHAM, will no
doubt be fought out.
