II. P. Burdick, in a final at
tempt to make himself eligible as
a mayoralty candidate under the
city charter, Monday afternoon
rendered his resignation from the
civil service board to the city
clerk.
He has secured various opin-
ions from attorneys, some declar-
ing he was eligible II he resigned
before taking office, some declar-
ing he must resign before the cleo
tion April 7 and some insist that
he is out of ii now by reason of
the fact that he was not eligible
when his candidacy was filed, and
that the city clerk cannot legally
accept his filing, as he was at that
time an officer of the city.
1t is likely the city clerk will
put his name on the ballot unless
some citizen objects In the court.
This would try the matter out and
get a judicial determination of
the question. The theory in the
past has been that a candidate is
not in it unless he resigns before
he files.
1t would be useless for Burdick
to go into the campaign If he is
not eligible as he could not take
the office If he should be elected.

He spent a greater part of his time
| in his stateroom, grumbling At the
steward, abusing his valet, beating
his bad tempered terrier and cursing

More than ever now I felt the gull

regret the eagerness with which had
removed my husband from scene in
which he had at least lived the life OF
a rational creature. when an unex-
pected event brought me thrill OF
passing pleasure.
Our seats in the saloon were at the
top of the doctors table, and the
doctor himself was young Irishmar

bright and breezy as a March morn

1T was easy to see that Martin was
not only his friend but his hero He
talked of him with a passionate love
and admiration with which men,

he gave to Martin. And yeti can
