to be open from sun-up until sunset on
said day.
In the event said additional levy be
ratified. Five Thousand C$5. 100000 Dol
lars thereof shall be expended on the
equipment for the fire department OF said
City and Twelve Thousand Six Hundred
and Sixty Eight Dollars and Twenty
so realized from such special levy. shall
be expended in paving and curbing the
streets within said City, the amount to

NEW YORK. Sept. 3o.-Fire caused by
spontaneous combustion In the hold of
the steamship Santa Anna, OF the Fabre
line. was discovered early today, while
she was moored to pier at the foot of
5lst street, Brooklyn. Several fire engines
were rushed to the steamships aid, but
the dense smoke made II impossible for
the tiremen TO get at the blaze between

FAT MAN KEPT PRISONER
IN A TELEPHONE BOOTH
Once Inside, He Couldn't Turn Until
Help Finally Came.

Hiram Mattison, OF Wilmington. a man
OF great girth, hurried into a telephone
booth in the first floor southeast corner
OF a City Hall corridor today and
slammed the door shut. The door Is OF
the type that folds inward.
Nearly half an hour later one of the
elevator operators heard a dun thump-
Ing. and investigating found that II came
from the telephone booth. MattisOn was
still facing the telephone. He was so
fat that the elevator man could not see
whether he was through talking. Com
Guiding that the man was simply drum
ming with his tlngers, the operator went
away.
Some time later a passerby heard the
same humping. He got close enough to
the booth TO realize that Mattison was
trying to get out, but. being too fat
to turn around and reach the handle of
the door. found II impossible. Mattison
leaned heavily against the door. trying
to open II. Several other strangers col
lected, until a score OF men were grouped
about the booth,
An elevator starter who knows some
thing about doors finally took charge of
the situation. Directions were shouted
to MattlsOn, and after considerable twist
ing and hard work the door was opened.

BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES

NNCE upon a time, the leaves OF
~ the silver poplar were green
both top and bottom just like
the leaves of all other trees and the
poplar tree was nice proper tree Just
, like all other trees.
Then something happened. Some
thing usually does you know when
things are entirely too nice and
proper.
One day, when the poplar leaves
we're playing with the breczes, one
little breeze said, ooh, you should see
the trees in other countries as we do.
Sometimes the leaves are gray, some
times pale green and some are
brighter colors."
Wouldn't that be queer?" said one
of the leaves.
81 think I'd like it," said another.
"1'm tired of being plain green like all
other leaves"
And though the breeze laughed at
them, they wouldn't play because they
kept thinking all the time about their
color.
And the more they thought, the
worse it seemed to be green, just plain
green, all their lives.
Isn't it horrid to be just a plain
green leaf?" said one, "Im so tired of
being green" said another, ill finally
they forgot that the sky was blue
and the sun golden-all they could
remember was their common green
color.

WASHINGTON, Sept 30.-Representa-

nominee for United States Senator in

Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions on Monday to urge favorable ac-
ton on the Norris resolution. This an
nouncement was made today by Senator
Kern, after he had failed to get together

Two Washington party Congressman,
Kelly and Walters, appeared at the
committee room this morning to testify
as to the expenditures of Boies Penrose

of sufficient number of the members
to attend the meeting, however, made 1t
necessary for Chairman Kern to an
nounce recess until Monday at 10
o'clock, when Messrs. Kelly and Wal
ters will be heard
Despite the strong opposition of the
Old Guard of the Senate to the Norris
resolution, which provides for an inves-
tigat!on of the Pennsylvania and ILL
nois senatorial primaries, Senator Clapp
and other advocates are now more
hopeful that the resolution will be IA

lutsiy necessary to give the full name IN
case the applicant chanced to be wounded
In battle.
AS he was about to join his regiment
for the front, the "sojer's" papa took
him aside and said:
Son, / fear Il is my duty to tell you
that you are saying goodbye to your
parents for the last time. When you
are wounded and left to die ;here on the
cold battlefield, and when night comes
and there are no lights, no dinner, and
no mamma or Mana to say night to
you, only the black darkness and the
cruel winds"

interrupted by:

ment goes"

The leaves all laughed and declared
they never, never, never wanted to be
green again, so the fairy painters set
to work with their magic paint and
soon the leaves were grayish green
on top and silver underneath.
When all was done and the paints
carefully put away the leaves shook
themselves dry and began to look
around.
Aren't we beautiful" they exclaim-
ed as they primped and preened in the
sunshine.
Now that you like your color"
said the breezes, come and play with
us again"
"Oh, no." said the leaves loftily,
Eve don't care to play with you any
more. We like to have you come and
see us, for you turn and twist us so
we can see all our pretty colors, but
we couldn't just common play any
more, we are too fine for thatp
So the breczes came and stayed a
little while and swayed and twisted
the leaves so that the silver Innings
glistened in the sunshine-then they
went and played and frolicked in the
oaks and naples with the leaves who
were not so dressed up.
And ever since then, the poplar
leaves have been green and silver, but
the leaves are so stiff and vain that the
fairies and breezes play in the old
green trees.
