 Unopened boxes of spirits that cheer were piled helter-skelter about the partially plastered sides of the one story building; the squatty stove, with the cats and kittens purring under meath, all were there in mute protest against the memorable law that all things have an end

Flea Ties Up Traffic.

You wouldn't believe that such a
small thing as a flea could tie up
traffic on this city's busiest crossing.
But 1t did. The flea lighted on pup
by that was crossing Sixth avenue
and Forty-second street, and selecting
a particularly succulent crtion Of the
NUTS anatomy, bit deep. And the
dog sat down on the car tracks and
gave himself completely over to the
serious business Of scratching. At
this moment q taxicab came bound
ing along. The driver did not pursue
. straight course, but turned to avoid
the irritated pup and at the same
time applied his emergency brakes.
The result was safety for the dog,
but q stalled taxicab. Instantly traf.
nc behind the taxicab stopped and in
less than q minute there was conges-
ton such as has not been seen at
that corner in many a day. Cars from
four directions added to the confusion
Presently the puppy won his point
The flea desisted and the taxicab mo-
tor resumed business. The tangle was

Jacksonville is to have an ordi-
nance that will make a itenerant
street vendors pay a heavy license
and thus save the local merchants
the effects of competition that
seriously hurts and takes money
out of the community. Such a law
might be good in every city in Flor
ida. The Metropolis tells about it
as follows:
Itinerant vendors will be placed
under the strictest regulations and
required to pay a license of 500
and give bond in the sum of $4,000
if a bill to be introduced in Coun-
Gil tonight by President Pleasant A.
Holt is passed by the body. The
bill is far reaching and is one of
the most rigid acts of Legislation
proposed to the present Council.
81 am going to introduce this
bill because | think we should pro-
tect our local merchants" said
President Holt in announcing his
intentions this morning. Every
winter, when the tourists come here,
we are overrun by this class of VEN
ders, who come in, are required to
pay a nominal license and succeed
in taking away a great amount OF
our own peoples business. 1t is not
a fair proposition and my bill pro-
poses a license that is so high and
other requirements that it will be
difficult for any but the better class
of vendors to enter here.
81 have drafted this bill after a
great deal of consideration of the
subject from all angles. The bill

exactly the same law that is in force

tions were met few years ago.

lips were pressed together. And, still
more amazed, the curate listened to

1t was the voice of his conscience.

THE Inward VOICE
BY DOROTHY ALLEN.

Rev. Aloysius Brown was very busy
as he stopped over his asters. Tney
had come up splendidly from seed, ana
he was wondering whether 1t was
time to transplant them when ne
heard girls voices upon the porch
of his house.

Of his parishioners. Il did so want
to get him on the new committee

And l wanted to see him too"

Reverend Aloysius was 80 struck Dy

round the edge of the house. which
was uncurately, but perhaps pardon
able In q young man Of five and TWEEN

curate did not repent in the least,
for he saw the prettiest girl who had
ever come within the range Of his
vision.

me, Maud" exclaimed Miss Bowen.

in whom the curate now recognized
Miss Maud Anderson. the beauty OF
the village. "Mr. Friend, the rector.
was telling mamma the other day that
Mr.. Brown is q very impressionable
young man. And so am determined
to impress him. I haven't had pro-
posal this year, Margery."
20, Maud" exclaimed the other in
awe. you are never going to prac-
tice on the new curate? Leave the
poor man alone!"
1T will do him good, Margery,
answered Miss Anderson. And l am
working on a pair Of slippers for him
now, so you can see that my mind
is fully made up"
Reverend Aloysius, overcome with
shame, retreated hastily to the safe
shelter Of the tool house, from which
he watched the girls depart down the
street.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed
and the curate resolved to anticipate
Miss Andersons intentions. Accord
ingly he set to work to countermine
the enemy's approaches.
The popularity of the new curate
was soon assured. All the girls Of

ple-minded, the situation would have
become scandalous. They were seen
walking together, and once the curate
drove Miss Anderson to the church
committee meeting.
Reverend Aloysius, always on his
guard, felt, nevertheless, that II he
had not been warned 80 providentially
he would have fallen q victim. Miss
Anderson was . girl Of character and
mind. as well as Of beauty. Finally,
he began to realize that he had almost
fallen into the trap which had been
laid for him.
II was q warm July afternoon when
the two sat side by side outside Mrs
Anderson's house. A humming bird
was fitting among the flowers, there
was q sense Of mellow peacefulness
in the air; everything seemed to in
dictate that the crucial moment had
