but out of each arises the condition
which renders the furnishing of it by

establish municipal fuel yard. can it
not enter upon any kind of commercial
business, and carry on a grocery store,
or a meat market or a bakery? The
answer has been already indicated, Such
kinds of business do not measure up TO

When we speak of fuel. we are dealing
not with ordinary articles of merchan-

commodities mentioned are admittedly

channels of private business enterprise.

would be our duty to pronounce the act
unconstitutional, but in our opinion 1t

chasers through reduction in price by

to enable the citizens to be supplied with

He Did Not Understand.

Pat had been seized with violent
pains and was hurried to a hospital.
The physician in charge, after
diagnosis, informed him that he
had appendicitis. and that an opera
ton vas necessary as his appendix
must be removed Immediately.
Pat had not the least idea of what
an appendix was. and SO informed the
physician, who laughingly told him
that after the operation he would
leave the appendix In the window so
he could see 1t when he was able to
sit up.
Some days after the operation
Pats curiosity got the better of him,
and he raised up in bed TO take a
look at his appendix. To his amaze
ment a monkey was sitting on the
wiDdowsill, and when he saw Pat he
began to make faces and chatter at
a great rate.
The astonished Irishman gave the
monkey a long, hard look, and then
exclaimed: Don't do that, me boy,
don't do that. Can't you see your
mother is a very sick man."

Beyond those yellow mountains bare,
And so with dizzy bird survey
A thousand miles of shining day.

The dark of rain, the dark of rain
And | would CLEAN the gold of sun,

And mark his curving glory run
Its fiery course, and eager turn

But. oh. my heart!-to feel again

And wakeful all the night Id lie
And watch the dark infinity,
And count the stars that wheel and
spin.
And drink the frosty ether in.
But. an. my heart,-to taste again
The sweet of rain, the sweet of
rain,
And ] would hear the desert song
That silence sings the whole night

And day by day the whisper pass
or golden heat through desert grass.
But, OH my heart!-to hear again
The sound of rain, the sound OF
