During the days of early summer
scarcely anyone believed that the pre-
sent paving would be laid this year.
morning of August 80, the opinion was
all too common that the streets would
be torn up and in bad condition all

tons been as favorable for street

that he had found spider in his
paper, and asked him whether it
was a sign of good or bad luck.
The humorist wrote him this an

"Old Subscriber: - Finding a
spider in your paper was neither
good luck nor bad luck. The spider
was merely looking over our paper

that store, spin his web across
