Say I, What have you got to do with
Chvedke?"
Says she, 1--WE know each other for
a long time already"
Say I, "Mazel Tow to you on such
friendship! A nice chum, Chvedke!"
Says she to me: 90, then, you know
him? You know who he is?"
Say to her: "Whoever he may be I
don't know. His pedigree I have not
looked up, but can readily understand
that he must have descended from real
nobility His father" I say must have
been a swineherd, streetcleaner or
just a plain drunkard.'
Answers me Chaveh: what his
father was, do not know, nor care to
know. To me all people are alike, but
that he himself is an unusual man, that
I know for sure"
"NOw just what sort of a man is he,
let me hear" I say.
IT would tell you," says she, "but you
wouldn't understand. Chvedke," says
she, rs second GOrKy.
"A second Gorky!" says I. "Who, pray
was the first Gorky?"
"Gorky," says she, 'is perhaps the
foremost man in the world today"
where does he live, that sage of
yours? What is his business? What
great lecture has he delivered?"
Says she to me, "Gorky is a famous
writer, an author, that means a man
who writes books, remarkably rare,
and upright man who also comes from
humble ranks; hasn't studied anywhere,
just self-taught This is his picture"
So she puts it to me, that is Chaveh;
takes from her pocket a small photo
and shows it to me. $50 that's he?"
say I, that saint of yours, Reb Gorky?
I could swear I had seen him some

I. "There is an explicit verse in our

say I, "I don't understand just what bust

with him were a little more distant.

report upon which the commission
order was based and who paid him, IN
the middle Of which Mr.. Hartman took
a hand, propounding lengthy query the
gist of which was why the traction com
pany wasn't asked to pay the expert
fee instead of the city footing the biii,
il being the company that wanted the
information to support its petition for an
increase of fare, which, Mr. Harman
said. was made ION its knees. 10 TINS
Mr. McMuIlen replied that he didn
think the people of Wilmington would
like the report of an expert paid by the
company.
Next the inouisitors wanted to know
what the honest physical value oi the
company's property within the city limits
is, and Mr.. McMullen said the question
was asked several years ago and that IT
couldn't be answered because the com
missoners did not have the money To
make the investigation. But this dldh |
satisfy and the question was repeated;
Mr. McMullen replying that he had heard
it said by Nicc-President Wilson that IL
was equal to the company capitalization,
which is S., 500,000 actually subscribed.
Then MIR Robertson harked back TO the
amount of the common stock, when the
quizzee again said he didn't know.
THE MATTER OF WATER.

ed Mr.. Robertson.

commissioners chief ;,

then pursued the QUESTIONABLE, 10

placed on an honest basis before giving the
2-ccnt increase?
The board has no authority To do
that, rctortcd Mr. McMullen.
Here Mr.. 1iarman came IN again.
"Vhy.' said he. tho company came
to YOU and asked for the increase, didn
it, You didn't have to grant It, did YOU.

Then Mr. IIarman doubled back to me

which MIR NcMulen replied that the
commission bad no legal right to DO SO
because the act creating the commission
didn say SO.
The next batch Of questions concerned

PIGGIE WIGGIE.

Pggie Wiggie was little white pig
and ne lived with his mother and brothers
and sisters in a nice little house on farm
where he had plenty of things to eat.
Piqgie Wggie and his brothers and
sisters had grown to be big for little
pigs. and one day. when he caught sight
of himself in shining milk pan the
farmers wife had put by the wall to dry,
Pippie Wgpie said to himself: My,
what big boy am ] most as big as
mothcrr
You see. the pan made him look very
fat indeed. and that made Piggie think
he was grown up, so he SAID: u am not
going To stay here and be made baby
OF any longer am going to run away
He looked around and saw that his
brothers and sisters were eating apples
under n tree close beside their mother,
AS any good little Piggies should have
been doing, and then Piggie Wiggie
looked to see where there was place
of escape for him.
When Piggie Wiggie found himself
alone in the road he was a little fright
ened at first. for the world looked very
much larger than he had at first supposed
It to be. He trotted off down the road
and soon found himself by the woods,
n long way from home.
Piggie had often heard his mother
tell about old Mr. Wolf who lived IN
the woods. but he did not believe he
would cat little pigs ne his mother had
told him. He thought MIR Wolf would
bc glad TO see such a fne-looking fellow
as he was and tell him all about the
woods. so he began looking for hr

For your body may be weaken

pair 1t may be all ont OF sorts
And although your will Is able here
TO make and remake the various
parts that may be worn or frayed,
still YOUR character shall ever loom

So be good To your body But
be great to your character
And though your become lonely

Your body may not always in

brain may not be able TO conceive

which are sure to inspire every new

a Notable Iowa Horse.

Did you ever see the beautiful
horse that rode on one of the
wagons representing the Statue of
Liberty yesterday in the Sells-Floto
parade? That horse once belonged
to Hon. J. B. Harsh of this city who
obtained him when he was months
old and raised him here. That horse
is a direct descendant of the stall
lion Leopard, one of the seven horses
which the Sultan of Turkey gave to
General Grant when the general
made his trip around the world. Mr..
Harsh sold this animal to this show
when they were here four years ago!
The transaction took much decker
ing as the men who were sent to buy
the horse believed that Mr.. Harsh
did not know the real value of the
animal. The first price offered for
this beautiful creature was Sl65 and
after a while was sold for more
money than any one horse was ever
sold for in this city The figures
were not given. He was a beautiful
animal and very intelligent and
seeming to know Just what was ex-
pected Of him and did that very
thing. The horse is now years old.
