What WILL Jack SAY?
BY ELLIS GRAY.

Bob Hale's head was 30 full Of pain
that In his delirium he was afraid it
would burst and scatter his brains
over the snowy uniform Of his nurse.
That would have been dreadful, for
not for the world would he have any.
thing happen to the dainty, immacu-
late bit Of femininity who was taking
care Of him.
One other thing worried him besides
his head. It was the diamond ring
his nurse wore on her left hand. To
his distorted senses it seemed to be
intolerably in the way. II she would
only put 1t on the other hand Il
wouldn't bother him so much.
Won't you tell me who the lucky
man is?" he asked one day as he lay
back weakly among his pillows
watching her make out q report for
the doctor.
What do you mean?" she asked,
looking up startled from her writing.
Then, seeing his eyes on her hand, she
colored. "Not-not now" she faltered.
Some day, perhaps. Don't you think
you had better have your nap now
Mr.. Hale?"
Bob got better. And Violet, one
dreary day, exchanged her white uni.
form for blue broadcloth suit and de.
parted, taking with her all that life
held dear for him.
For weeks Bob thought OF every ex-
cuse under the sun to see her. But
he always gave up in despair. There
was no honorable way he could think
OF. Besides, what was the use when
she was not and never could be his.
One day he lost collie pup, and,
looking over the ads in a daily paper,
found the following item right under
his nose:
LOST-A solitaire diamond ring
on Bellevue car or on Washing
ton avenue. Bellevue. Finder will
please return to Miss Violet Lari-
mar. R9 Washington avenue, and
receive liberal reward.
Eureka, l have found IT," ex.
claimed Bob, meaning, of course,
neither the ring nor the dog, but an
excuse to see once more the only girl
he could ever care for.
The plan that presented itself SO
suddenly was this: To try to inter.
cept the finder, and thereby return it
IN person. 1t was the only legitimate
excuse he could possibly trump up
for seeing her once more.
Bob boarded Bellevue car, got on
at Washington street and slipped
through the street gate set in high
privet hedge. Just inside was clump
OF hydrangeas on level with his
head. He could stand there screened
from the street and house and inter-
cept anyone who looked as though he
or she were coming to return a lost
diamond. IT'S a beautiful fix to be

AS you enter you hear shrieks and laughter
combined, emanating from those who have been
drenched with water. and the others who enjoy
the fun of seeing the porpoise do it. He is
lively party-a sort of dont-care- -cuss -for any
body fellow who uses no discrimination whatever
Grown-ups or youngsters all the to him.
One little girl whom | noticed in particular, with
DOLL enjoyed being drenched but she had very
big kick coming when Mr.. Porpoise gave another
splash and completely wetted her doll. She gave
YELL and, shaking her fist furiously, cried out:
You nasty beast you gone and drownded my
Mabel Anne wifi lot O. dirty wet water!"
The busiest day is Sunday between the hours of
, and 4. during which time it is difficult to take
in all the sights. The whistle blows promptly at
4, and all visitors have to leave. Therefore, if
you wish to study the various species of the finEy
tribes, etc, go early during any week day. Not
only the fish but the visitors are interesting.
Foreigners and country people numerous. As
for the children, it is worth going miles to study
them, all enjoying themselves heartily at the
antics of the seals, lions and PROPOSES

son, in 1892 President Tyler, in 1S43. and Louis
KOssuth, in 1851. Professor Morse, inventor of
the telegraph, demonstrated here in 1885 the
prac.icabity of controlling the electric current.
Among other notable people received here were
President Van Buren, the Prince of Wales Tin
recent years King Edward VID and also
man. others of high position.
Among its attractions in 1850, when it became
under the management of p. T. Barnum a high
class place of amusement were various famous
singers, the most noted being Jenny Lind.
The building used landing place for
immigrants from 1886 to 1890 during which period
nearly 5000 900 passed through its doors.
1t opened as an Aquarium by the city on
December 10, 1896, and on November l, 1902, its
management was transferred to the New York
Geological Society. Up till 1914 the average daily
attendance $3.50, and the total attendance
since its opening an aquarium has been nearly
600. II is well worth visit by old and
young, for apart from its educational interest
many Of the sights highly amusing.
Take the youngsters there, and you will be as
highly amused watching them as they are in
watching the antics of the various aquatic resi-
dents in general, and the lively porpoise in par
ticular

whom you will find many there. One Of them,
slovenly looking bped, informed me that he was
"a daily visitor and his soul, was filled with en-
thusiasm"
Look down from he balcony and you will see
the alligators and huge crocodile. After seeing
the excellent specimens in the many tanks up
stairs you come to the conclusion that you cannot
see much that is novel on the main floor but
agreeaby disappointed, especially if it is feeding
time, 3 o'clock. Then all of the aqueous and am
phbous creatures are very much the qu vive,
knowing the exact time when they are to be fed.
You hear the fat lion roar, see the clumsy old
pOrpose jumping up and down, the graceful seals
diving or moving around their tanks very
pectant, the turtles, the alliga;ors and crocodile,
etc, etc, sliding and crowdng in one direction
toward the attendant who, standing on the railing,
throws food to them with hand while he holds
tight to the railing with the other.
Among the various species fish with peculiar
names, such the RED Hog" Trigger"
Squirrel" Dog snapper" Never Bite" Spade
"Scaup," Blue Angel" BLACK Angel" yellow
Fish," Mud Fish," "Grouper,' Mutton" and
host of others. One hideous shell-back is named
me scorpion Fish" and another, a fendish look

n T3W WORKERS see less of the sights Of New
y York than foreign and country visitors.
One of the places we'll worth visit, to
natives and foreigners alike, is the New York
Aquarium. 1t is the largest institution of the
kind in the world having numerous large floor
pools, at least one hundred large wall tanks,
thirty smaller tanks and thrty-six reserved tanks.
There ere to be seen more than three hundred
species of fishes, also other aquatic vertebrates,
and the total number of specimens exhibited eX
elusive of invertebrates and young fry in the
hatchery is about four thousand. Not bad
showing for a place which has been in existence
onl, eighteen years whereas some of the boasted
aquariums Of abroad than two hundred
years old
The building was erected in 1907 as fort, and
known as West Battery, and after the War Of
1872 it was called Castle Garden. 1t had bat
terry of thirty guns the embrasures for which
still remain. In 1923 it was coded by Congress
- the city Of New York and used place
OF amusement, with seating capacity of six
thousand. Numerous eminent people were re-
ceived there on their visits to New York among
them General Lafayette. in 1924; President Jack

Court, voted Tuesday to appropri
ate $1,000 to building roads. The
State will give them another
$4,000, making a total of $4,000,
II is the plan of the court, in ac-
cordance with the law, TO build
the roads leading to Hickman,
Mayfield, Bardwell and Fulton
and also the Columbus road this
year. The work will be OF
earth but will put the roads in
proper condition to receive the
improvements that are now being
discussed of placing rock or 9th
er surfacing thereon if voters
agree TO the plan.
Esq. Browder, the undaunted
and vigorous representative of
the east end, in a report of the

cal Court says in regard to future
road work: " With the contracts
being made with parties to do the
work that are more public spirit
ed and much more favorable TO
good roads, the Business Men 5
