A Big Row Has Developed in
the City Hall.
The Fight RevOlves Around
One Innocent StenOgrapher.
MAYOR v. CIVIL SERVICE BOARD
C1ty'S Head Is Backed by Pa
per He Works For.
HE Plan to Make a Goat OF
Porter Fails.

One demure little stenographer has
set the whole lily hall buzzing and
where everything was peace and har-
mony a few days ago, enmity and the
playing of politics has arisen, and "a
morning newspaper, which employs
Mayor House, has instructed reporters
to get something on one of the con-
miSSlOners. And while all this has
been happening the demure little
stenoSrapher. who thumpS a typewrit-
er in the office of the city attorney, has
said never a word.
The situation became acute several
days ago, and it was rumored in the
city hall that Harry Wright, former
campaign manager for House, and
who now lives on a farm west of the
city. had again been called from the
pillow. or whatever Cincinnatus would
be doing at this season of the year,
and asked to come to the city hall and
exercise his experiences as smoother
out of difficulties
He was expected Tuesday, but did
not arrive until this morning. He
divided his time between w. l. Por-
ter, city commissioner of parks, and
George P. Hayden, city attorney, who
was commissioned by Mayor House.
before his departure for the west. to
Iron out the difficulty. Wright de-
MED that his visit had anything to do
with the stenOgrapher affair and pro-
duced some petitions in favor of nru-
nicipal and county farms.
What 1t Is All About.
The difficulty is this:
Miss Nell Montgomery was appoint
ed to a position as stenographer to the
city attorney without undergoing a
civil service examination. Things were
running smoothly until the mayor took
Il swat at civil service in the publica-
ton of a letter in which he styled civil
service as flapdoodle and stated that
personally he paid no attention to it
This stirred up the city civil service
board. The mayor was forced to back
up and civil service examinations were
held. The law requires that a selec-
ton must be made of one of the two
ranking highest in the examinations.
There were two higher than Miss
Montgomery.

Hot Curling Iron Goes
NO More Broken Hairi
(Reauty's Mirror

Every woman knows that continual use
of the hot curling iron means brittle, bis
tered. parched, dead looking hair with
burnt. uneven ends. There's 70 need of
anyone using that instrument of torture,
now that we know what can be accom-
plished by the occasional application of
ordinary liquid silmerine. This is not only
more effective, but tends to promote its
health, lustre giving the hair a fluffier and
prettier curl. and beauty. Any druggist
can supply silmerine in liquid form and a
few ounces will last many weeks, so it is
quite economical to use
The approved way is to part the hair in
several strands and with clean tooth
brush apply the liquid the full length of
each strand. The overnight TRANSFORMED
ton is agreeably surprising to one who
has never tried this simple and harmless
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Schools Open Next Tuesday.

F. Jay Bates has returned from
spending the summer in Connecticut
and at the summer session of Columbia
university, New York, where he spent
seven weeks in study, and the profess
sor is busy getting things in line for
the new school year which opens Tues
day. The rest of the teaching force is
expected the last of the week and the
activities of the school will be well
coined. Miss Ferrin has spent part
of her vacation in study at the summer
session of Middlebury college.
Owing to the fact that tuition rate
Of S12 per term was printed in the
announcement issued by the school
trustees it has been reported that
there was to be a tuition for local
students. This is not true. The tut
ton rate Of $12 is for students attend
ing our high school from outside this
district, and in this event the town
from which they come pays the tuition
and the new rate is in keeping with
the new school laws.

CUNNING VERSUS WISDOM.

Cunning differs from wisdom
as twilight from open day. He
that walks in the sunshine goes
boldly forward by the nearest
way; he sees that where the
path is straight and even he
may proceed in security, and
where it is rough and crooked
he easily complies with the
turns and avoids the obstruc-
tions. But the traveller in the
dusk fears more as he sees less;
he knows there may be danger
and therefore suspects that he
is never safe; tries every step
before he fixes his foot and
shrinks at every noise lest vio-
lence should approach him. Wis
dom comprehendS at once the
end and the means, estimates
easiness or difficulty and is eau
tious or confident in due proper
ton. Cunning discovers little at
time and has no other means Z
of certainty than multiplication
of stratagems and superfuity Of
suspicion. The man of cunning
always considers that he can
never be too safe and therefore
always keeps himself enveloped
in a mist. impenetrable, as he
hopes, to the eye Of rivalry or
curiosity.-Dr. Johnson.
