luncheon, referred to the fact TINT
when the prohibition issue was before
the people in 1914 he voted wet, and
said that were it to come up again he
would vote dry. One result of pro-

tax rate. There had been deficit at
the close of the city's business for a
number of years." said the mayor. Il
am glad to report that at the close Of
1916 we had cash surplus of $135, 900,
and in addition thereto paid special
improvement taxes on parks, fire.
houses, courthouses, city hall and bath
house, to the amount Of $4,000. We

A Good Comeback.

Tom Moore, the poet, was the son
of Dublin grocer. Without any push
ing on his part his genius and his I'M
affected manner made him welcome
guest everywhere. All London went
mad over him. On one occasion at a
banquet he had made some brilliant
witticisms. A snob, thinking to humil-
tate him, leaned over the table to the
poet and quite audibly said in a drawl-
ing tone:
''Pway, sir, wasn't yuor father a
grossah?"
Moore smilingly replied that he was.
"Then, pway," continued the snob,
"why didn't he make grossah of
your"
Moore quite affably retorted,
WASN'T your father a gentleman?"
"Of course he was" was the rejoin-
der.
"Then why" queried Moore, didn't
he make gentleman of your"
