The Wolves Coming.
Suddenly a great noise was heard.
The wolves we're comlngl The wolves
were comingl "What shall We do?"
shouted Mrs. RsccOon, as she bounded
for a tree. "They will Kill you all.
Hasten to defend the bridget"
AT this Mrs. Lion took charge Of the
affair. Soon Mrs. Porcupine was placed
at the entrance to the island, just of
the bridge, while Mrs. Opossum lay
near her, feigning death, and Mrs.
Bear, with a tremendous club. stood in
front OF the entrance.
where Is wise Mrs Fox?" some ono
asked. "Here am T." shouted Mrs
Fox. 81 have been instructing Mrs.
Hippo how to upset the bridge when I
give her the signal" And all the ami
mails held their breath in wonderment
at Mrs. Fox's cunning. "Id never dare
carry this handsome tail of mine with
out some brains to balance IT," said
Mrs. Fox.
The Wise Fox.
But there was no time to be lost
The wolves were already to the bridge.
Nearer and nearer they came. Then,
at the exact moment when they were
all on the bridge, at signal from Mrs.
Fox the entire thing was upset by Mrs.
Hippo The other animals were all on
the island. but the wolves were plunged
into the water.
Such shouting and laughter you
never heard. Shamefacedly the wolves
clambered, cold and dripping, out on to
the shore and skulked away, with their
tails between their legs. After they
had gone Mrs. Hippo carried the ami
mails over to the mainland on her back.
And ever since then Mrs Wolf and all
her family have skulked in the
shadows, ashamed to show their faces
in the light.

Markees, the celebrated German com
poser and teacher, in Berlin, Germany,
and has made rapid progress in her
musical education. Miss Baldwin s
musical genius has been recognized in
what is probably the most critical
musical center in the world as she has
been honored with a place in two of
the most exclusive orchestras in that
city where only sheer ability will guar
antee an entry.
Miss Baldwin writes enthusiastic let
ters from abroad of her work and the
splendid opportunities afforded for
meeting musical artists and celebrities
not only in musical way but socially
as well.
While in Salem Miss Baldwin was
unusually popular and was generally
conseded to be one of the most beauti-
full girls of the younger social set.
Prior to her departure she was stu
dent of William Wallace Graham and
had appeared frequently in concerts
and musicals both in Salem and in
Portland, where her undoubted talent
won her a place in the. hearts of the
musical devotees. She will probably
remain in Berlin for two years more,
at least, as she intends to prepare her
self for concert work.

"Sunday, May 3rd, was a red letter
day. We arose early, and had the
pleasure of hearing Mass, which was
celebrated by His Eminence Cardinal
O'Connell, in the library of the steam
er. When we came on deck, a most
beautiful sight met our eyes-we were
anchored within short distance of
Madeira Island, with the City of
Fundlach in full view. We were taken
ashore in small boats from the Island.
Needless to say we were delighted to
land after being on board the steamer
for eight days. The city has a popu-
latiOn of 10000 and the Island 100000.
There were a number of very queer
looking carts, drawn by oxen, waiting
to take us sightseeing, but our party
(there were five Of us) went to the
railway station in an automobile, where
we took the train for a trip up the
mountain, which was very beautiful
and interesting, with the flowers and
vegetation growing in great profusion.

THE CITY DEBT.

That the city is within something like $200O0 of being out of debt will be pleasing information; in fact was no doubt pleasing information, to many citizens yesterday, and while :he effort of the administration is laudable in a measure for wanting to wipe out the city debt, yet it has to he cone at such an extreme cost, that the administration should pro ceed with much care.
 There are other things worse than municipal debt. In the years gone was the politicians delight. It proved a vehicle for his vaingiory. II was the instrument through which one seeking politician would attack another, and who in turn would have to face the same attack.
 1t has been discovered that the , most delightful municipalities to in- habit are the ones who instead of boosting a solvenoy, exhibit many public improvements that silently but steadfastly boast a progress that pleases and attracts prosperity.
 We are proud of the financial con dition of the city, but we are ashamed of the city streets. The new administration has started off on the right track. It has taken a stand for better streets. The street commissioner has been given some thing in all his long experience he never had at hand before-a genuine working crew of ten men at his own command.
 Good results will follow The change cannot be effected within a day, pLt take this hint, that within very short time Commissioner Golden win show the people a cleaner and better street condition than it has known for years.
 IA most pleasing feature of the re- port of Mayor McClendon was that the legitimate city revenue is suf- ficient for the city expense. Perhaps the next two or three years will see changes that still materially increase the city revenue, in which event Hot Springs will be a proud resort in the pride of having physical beauty oi which to be proud.
