every effort / arrange with the

for the extension of the paving dis
trict. Respectfully.
BERNARD l.. CAIN,
Chairman street and bridge commit
tee.
Alderman Crixell remarked that he
though that Mr.. Cain had overlooked
a very important matter when he
suggesting paving on Elizabeth 10
the Boulevard and overlooked Adams
between 10th and 18th. Mr.. erik
ell remarked hat he thought that
this was one of the most travelled
streets and hat the public would de-
rive more benefit from the paving
there than on Elizabeth street to the
Boulevard.
Alderman Blackshear moved that
the city secretary and the city a.
torney notify the property owners of
the paving district to appear before
the council June IL and state their
objections. if they have any. to the
assessments. This motion was car-
ried.
Mr.. Kirk, Of the sanitary commit
tee. called the attention Of the coun-
ell to the amount of dust on the
stree, around the market. Mr..
Thielan remarked that the dust was
SO thick about seven o'clock In the
morning, and that the dust settled
on the vegetables. meat and o.her
food 50 thick. that many OF the shops
were compelled to close.
Alderman Cain suggested that the
man who is hired TO clean out the
market be supplied with a hose and
sprinkle the streets around the mar
kct. This was referred to the street
and bridge committee.
Alderman Blackshear moved that
an ordinance be drafted 70 close the
cess pools and pits in the sewerage
district. This motion was carried.
The bids for publication OF ordi-
nances and official notices for the
city was next considered. The Herald
Publishing Company's bid to make
the Weekly Herald the official paper
Of the city was accepted. The mo-
tices will appear in the Weekly Her
aid and also onccil In the Daily Herald.
Then a number of bills for pay
ment were taken care or and the
council adjourned.

The ~languague Of this contract and

The city council is the judge. The

The CITY Of Brownsville means the

Mr.. Cobolini further stated that,
as a member of the council, he would
demand a thorough investigation and
asked that his communication be
published.
Mayor Cole then informed Mr.. Co
bolini that he was out of order. Mr..
Cain stated that he thought that Mr..
Cobolini was mistaken in the word
ing Of the contract upon which Mr..
Cobolini disagreed with him.
The mayor then informed Mr.. Cain
that he was also out of order, that
their argument did not pertain TO
the business on hand and that the
question now was in regard to the
sand used by the paving company.
Mr.. Blackshear moved that, as long
as the paving contract had not been
finished the report be held over until
the council had had more time to
think it over. He was not ready to

How happy is he born or taught
That serveth not another's WILL
Whose armor is his honest thought
And simple truth his utmost skill;
Whose passions not his masters are:
Whose soul is still prepared for death,
United unto the world by care
OF public fame or private breath;
Who envies none that chance doth raise
Nor vice; hath ever understood
How deepest wounds are given by praise
Nor rules of state, but rules of good;
Who hath his life from rumors freed;
Whose conscience is his strong retreat;
Whose state can neither fatterers feed
Nor ruin make oppressors great;
Who God doth late and early pray
More OF his grace than gifts to lend
And entertains the harmless day
With a religious book or friend,
This man is freed from servile bonds
of hope to raise or fear to fall,
Lord Of himself, though not Of lands,
And having nothing, vet hath all.
Sir Henry Wotton.

Grist From the Sport Mill
By sTADIUr1

Fred Clarke, manager of the Pitts
burgh Nationals, tells a story of the
time Bill Hastmer. the first baseman,
was handed his release by the Louis
vile club. Bill was very popular, and
when he was turned loose he conceiv-
ell the idea of strutting across the lot
with his baggage. Accordingly he
took up his big valise and walked from
the field in front of the crowd. The
fans cheered their departing favorite
sang ont goodbys, wished him good
luck and all that sort Of thing. Hast
mer had made such a hit that he de
cided to repeat the stunt the next day
This time, however. he was accorded
one of the liveliest roastings imagina-
bic. He made it his farewell appear
ance in earnest.

ANTIQUITY OF ARCHERY.
The Bow Goes Back to Rsmotest
Times-Ueed BY lshmaeI.


The use Of the bow may be traced to
the remotest antiquity. The first no
tice which we find OF it is in Genesis
xxi, 20, where it is said that Ishmael
became an archer 1t was introduced
into England in the reign of Egbert
the Saxon, but was not used as a mar
tial weapon till the reign Of Edward l..
The period at which the long bow at
tanned its meridian fame may be fixed
in the reign of Henry v, whose arch
ers destroyed the whole French caval-
ry. clothed in complete steel. with their
yard long arrows. At the battle of
Flodden field also the English archers
made sad havoc Shooting with the
bow was an extremely fashionable
amusement in the reign Of Henry
VIII, and Holinshed reports that the
prince shot as well as any of his guard
After the siege of Devices in the civil
wars. 1917, the bow as military weap-
on was entirely laid aside. Archery
derives its name from the bow being,
when drawn, in the shape of an arch.
