a COUPLE OF c

In the discussion OF street improve
ments the cost OF various items come
up for consideration, and assertions
that certain worh can or cannot be
done for certain prices are often made
with great emphasis. but without any
thing in the way OF facts to Rack them
up. Last night the city council let

ern University avenue 10 y. +. Turner,

exactly so cents a running foot. Be
cause of the construction TO be used
there. more grading Will he required
than on the ordinary street. as the en-
tire width of street between the outer
curbs of the two driNeways will he
ffty-two feet. and that entire street
Width will have To le graded down.
whereas on any other street. in the CITY
only Il single driveway can be used.
and not more thar thirty feet will he
needed in any case. will be a
useful fact To remember later on. OF
interest, also. is the statement made
by Rev. j. 4. Burleson as To the con-
dition of that part Of Skidnore ave
nue. which. was treated with crushed
stone a good many years ago. That
bit Of street has come in for a good
share of during the discus
sion of gravel streets. Mr.. Rurleson.
who is not specially interested in any
particular of street dressing, said that
the work IN that street had not re-
ceived the credit due it. He said that
before the dressing was applied it was
the worst piece of road in the city,
and that it was a very common thing
for teams to he stuck on it. He has
occasion TO know all about il because
in the performance of his duties he
has been called on TO accompany
funeral professions over that road at
all times of the year. He said that
now. no matter What the conditions
of the roads elsewhere. team never
have any difficulty with that piece of
road. That fact. also, is worth re-
~memberine.

dreamed of, because in our
estimation mother was altogether TOO
reliable for anything like that. So we
received a dreadful shock one even

straightening up the dining room. she
gave a queer little cry and crumpled
up on the DOR very white and still.
The doctor told us she was simply
worn out and must have a vacation
without saving or knowing how that
feat was to he accomplished. Mother
protested that, aside from the ex-
pense. it was impossible for her to
leave home. and really. when We came
down to hard facts we could not fig

Chickens packed in coops, like

Of room and all the fresh air they can

Thousands Of men. women and
even children are making none with

them to do h best possible work

these things they must grow up and

have trouble getting them off my

she felt go like a new creature she

Why should she &C away from

most matter-of-fact.
"Why:?" My evaporation was quite
apparent. Haven't ] just told you
the doctor insists upon a v~acation?"
Well was the answer there is
What your mother wants is a rest

in now and then. I think the latter
would help immensely" For a mo-
ment Aunt Margaret's eyes appeared
strangely accusing. For years your
mother has been making a drudge of

The same thought. I felt sure, was
passing through Edith's mind, for, as
! saw her watching mother, of a sud-

she became very much occupied with
her dessert. Something stirred In the
boys also. In the midst of mothers

we had finished dinner when Tom
put his question, and now. before he
answered mother. he went and stood
behind her chair. His arms went
around her neck, his cheek rested on
her lovely gray hair, and there was
such a wonderfully new thoughtful
