Old Wish In New Words.

Mr.. D. P. Seerley of Chicago is an
art connoisseur, but sometimes he al

him noticed that he looked bored
weary, and wan, not to say exhausted
and disgusted.

with prolonged yawn.

Rural Free Delivery Of Much Benefit.
Much has been said regarding the extent to
which the rural free delivery of U. s. mail has

prizes the boon of receiving his daily paper on

that rural free delivery has meant even more to
the young women than 1t has to the young men

ENFORCE ORDINANCE
Driver Arrested for Driving
Over Fire Hose.

The city ordinance prohibiting per-
sons from driving or riding any kind
of vehicle over a fire hose when the
hose is stretched for use at a fire, is
to be enforced, said Fire Chief Miller
this morning. A fine of from 81 to
s25 and jail sentence is possible for
a violation of this ordinance.
Chief Miller stated this action was
called forth by the unusually large
number of violators of the ordinance
at the fire on South Ninth street yes
terday. One coal driver, James Byrd
of ~ Ft. Wayne avenue. was arrested
after he drove a wagon containing
LOO pounds of coal over hose In
use yesterday. He was given severe
lecture and was then released in po-
lice court.
Officers who attend fire and protect
the hose against this kind of vandal-
ism, have received orders to arrest all
who drive over the hose. When the
fire hose is stretched and being used,
a heavy weight suddenly placed on the
hose causes it to burst.

would not be a candidate for the pres

insisted that he permit his name to 60

the compensation law. which may be
introduced in the legislature next
year, makes him the ideal man to rep.
