1T has come to the attention Of our
association that the new telephone

on said part of Eighteenth street.
This association most respectfully
and vigorously protests against the
city and Its officers permitting the
tearing up of this paving, and would
respectfully cali your attention 10 the
fact that it is only a few months
since this association has at its own
expense repaired the damage done to
this pavement some years ago by an
other telephone company and which
repairs We were unable, through the
city's officers or otherwise, to have
made at the expense of anybody ex-
cept the members Of this association,
Said section Of said street is in
first class condition and we would re-
specially state what you must already
know, that is, If the contemplated
work is permitted, the street will prob
ably never be in shape again unless
repairs are made at the expense OF
the members Of this association.
We would respectfully suggest
that street openings of this Kind
should not be permitted, in first class
paving at any rate; they should be
placed In the alleys so far as IL
Is practicable to do so.'

We do not claim to know
everything about rugs, but
we know 4 good deal, hav-

With the facilities of our

customers, there is no better
place in the world to buy
rugs, and the present time is

NNIAI OIN1IA1N Style in Furnitu

Within the last years the popularity of Crafts
man Furniture has increased largely that it is
recognized a national style. This IS partly
because it intended primarily to fiji, in the most
direct and natural way, the actual needs OF Anneri
home life. and partly because at the time it
put forward people were on the verge OF artistic
awakening, reaction against the insineerity and
false ornateness of the furnishings of that period:
Today the word Craftsman" has become estab
lished in the public mind synonym for simple
Mell-made furniture.

Heino convInced.

1t is said that Andrew Carnegie's
use of simple spelling has 'irritated"
some people on the other side of the
water, who have read his published
speeches on certain subjects. "The
effect on the reader" says one man,
is irritating, rather than convincing"
An American, commenting on this
comment. says that If person cannot
be convinced by reason and sense, irri-
tation Is the next best thing. Now,
whether or not one believes that irri-
tation ever is or was or could be
wise method of procedure in causes
good or bad, 1t is notable fact that
irritation often seems Immediately to
precede conviction. For example, take

cases in which violent dislike of the
idea turned almost without warning
into approval of it. VIII the irritation

of many of US fade into acceptance of

Rented Wedding Cake.

There was something wrong with
the cake, the baker said; 1t looked all
right and 1t smelled all right, but his
artistic sense told him it would not
taste all right
Then fix it up with an extra coat of
icing, and we will keep it for renter"
said the proprietor.
who In the world would rent q
cake?" someone asked.
Wedding parties" said he. "They
want big cake in the center of the
table for show, but cake of that size
good enough for a wedding would cost
more than they can afford to pay, SO
they order fine cake put up In In
dividual boxes for the guests, and use
the brides cake just as an ornament.
They don't buy it, they rent it. Some
times cake is rented a dozen differ
ent times. After each wedding It is
freshened up with new coat of icing,
and looks as good as new for the next
occasion. A good renter fetches

CHIMES OF MAY.

When the Trees are full of Blossoms,
And the Milk is full of Cream.
When the Glover in the Hay loft
Is hanging through the Beams.
AS the wagon full of Hires Root Beer
Goes creaking with the. load
We know that spring has got here,
And Summers on the road
No more the Wintry Winds to blow,
Along the Icy Roads, no more
Will we hear. the winds low Solemn
Moan
Thro' the keyhole of the Door.
Listen, do we hear the tree-toad?
He foretells the coming shower,
While the Jovial Farmer croes his Jokes,
On the Bench, outside the Door.
While all those cheerful sounds and scenes
Are passing by our eye,
With Glover blooms on fields of green,
We know that Summers nigh.
Below the Blue the broken clouds
Make shadows passing by,
And Cyrus kissed the pretty girl
Just a-coming through the Rye.

IN MEMORY
OF the Heroes and Heroines of the
Lost Ship Titanic.

Composed by Lillian A. Weeks. Pleasant
Vile, N. J.)
Far away in the ocean deep,
They are lost in peaceful sleep.
How beautiful to awaken,
In the starry realms above,
And to greet our Lord and Saviour,
And the Angels they all love,
A great rejoicing to those gone before,
A sad loss to those on the earthly shore.
Our Heavenly Father knows best,
So we leave them to their rest.
Far away, on the ocean deep,
The waves roll over the ones asleep;
They know naught
On their beds of sand
For their souls have fed
To the heavenly land.
The saints above, with harps in their hands
Welcome them to the beautiful lands
Our Heavenly Father knows best,
So we leave them to their rest
