her grip, and when / asked her what
the row was about, she said that she
was going to leave right then and
there. She said that for the last two
or three days she had noticed a decided
difference in the attitude of the men
towards her, and that at noon one Of
them had insulted her and she had
slapped his face. The worst OF It was,
she said, the man said that he had been
told that she wasn't so particular with
others, and was notorious where she
came from. Then told her what the
landlady had said to me, but said that

 Attorney Robertson addressed the council in an impassioned and able speech, and cited the story of the Ancient Roman lady-she may have been an ancestor of eye-out-for-the- main-chance Lewis-who offered nine priceless volumes to the Roman Sen- ate which contained all the secrets of how to govern wisely They re- fused, it will be remembered, and the next year she returned with but six volumes, and offered them for twice the money. The Roman Sen- ate still refused,- and the third year she came back with but three vol umes, and the price again was mul- tiplied by two. By that time the Senate and the people of Rome real ized that that remnant of a library was cheap at the price And the story fitted the situation like one of Wolland's suits.

 Although the technical guilt was proven, and it was shown that she was in no immediate danger at the time of the shooting, the fact that Alice Cox was a simple minded h. dian woman, and that she has now been imprisoned nearly three years, I believe that the ends of justice would be best served by her release from prison, and therefore recon mend her pardon"

various engineering obstacles and ad- yastages
 Councilman King in his best Penn sylyania Avenue manner and with that grave parliamentary air which long experience at Washington natur- ally gives one, said, II move that the water works be not purchased at this time, his motion was seconded by Councilman Ericson and the council passed 1t before 1t dawned on the spectators that there had been no re- solution before the body at all and so far as King and Ericsson were con- eerned the question so odious to them was closed, but the earnest and pro- gressive Mayor thought not so and brought the question up at Fridays reguler meeting in a regular way much to the surprise of Congressman King and neighbor Ericsson who both showed bad temper because the friends of the purchase were present to give their views. Neighbor Ericson frank ly and with great candor said, ',noth- ing can be said to change my mind
 Mayor Stewart then called on Emery Valentine, an avowed champion of the purchase at this time, but Juneau's ex war horse Mayor refused to give his opinion unless the councilman were agreeable, and facetiously re- marked, What's the use?
 George Forrest another avowed champion was asked to talk but while he stated he felt good deal like MT. Valentine yet he did speak unquali- fedly for the purchase. Then it was that Attorney Robertson jumped into the arena with classic lore and with ringing oratory and told the council that his opinion was big NOW. MT. Robertson's speech was acknowledged by applause. City Attorney Hellen- thai stood behind MT. Ericsson a long time trying to get the floor but even after the Mayor recognized him Eric son kept on talking and talking until finally he discovered that Mir. Helen thall wished to speak and gave way. MT. Hellenthal spoke in favor of the purchase from purely civic econo- mic standpoint and if he had so spok- en on the night of the 24th ultimo MT. Kings motion not to buy would have been defeated.
 Councilman Morgan moved that the resolution be laid on the table to be brought up at an early date, to be agreed upon, if Mayor Stewart could get owner Lewis to extend the option. Emmet McKenna seconded the mo- ton and the council at eleven o'clock started in the prosaic business of pay ing monthly bills.
 Thus endeth the second lesson.
