STREET PATROL. PLAN
ADOPTED BY BOARD

For several years City Engineer
Charles has been advising the estab-
lishment OF a street patrol system for
the purpose of keeping the macadam
streets of the city in proper state of
repair
Today the board of public works de-
cided to provide such system.
The street commissioner will be in
structed to divide the city into dis
tricts and assign man to each dis
trict whose sole duty will be to patrol
the streets under his supervision and
see that they are kept in proper
state of repair.
1t is believed that under such sys-
tenn the annual cost of street upkeep
will be reduced considerably

A mellow, mirthful laugh rang
through the old-fashioned kitchen of
the Gordon farmhouse, and Aunt
Selma adjusted her spectacles and
surveyed the author of the merri-
ment inquisitively.
What now, Milly?" she asked in
her gentle, pleasant way.
Pretty near the bottom of the flour
barrel, auntie," replied Milly gayly.
And you thing that is something
to jollify over?" chided Mrs. Gordon
in reproachful tone
''Well, not exactly, auntie," replied
Milly in pretty penitence, "only got
thinking in my fanciful dreaming
way. 1 had just been reading a story
of family like US that got poorer and
poorer, until the flour barrel was
really empty, and they were nearly
starving. Then along came rich
prince. He recognized the aged sire
of the family as an old loyal soldier
and knighted him, and made his
brother a lord chamberlain, and it
was all so real to me / actually saw
poor dear, clumsy old Uncle Zeb at
court, bowling to the queen in his
rich ermine trimmed robe, and he
stumbled over it, and said, 'Howdy,'
and l had to laugh"
Dear child! 1t is well that you see
brightness in everything" murmured
Aunt Selma, and turned her face
aside to hide the rising tears.
For they we're poor, indeed She
and her husband had arrived past the
meridian of life with no income to
depend upon. Mr.. Gordon was I'M
able to work and they had to hire
man to attend to what there was of
the poor little farm. There were
times when they just scraped along,
as the saying went. In addition to
their own deplorable condition they

education she had received. AS to
kind heartedness, she was every
body's friend
When Victoria had gone to the city
to try her fortune she had urged Mil

Milly was dazzled. Then she thought
of the old folks. They had done so
much for her! They were old and
feeble. She had become a systemat-
