It was thought that that amonnt

results for that week were SO far
short Of satisfactory that an in-

In hand. ana its members are ac-

The canvass has met with Z re-
Spouse from the public which II
much less enthusiastic than was
anticipated. The. only alternative
is to take enough time to make the
canvass SO all-inclusive that sthe
city will be scientifically covered
by the solicitors for contributions
from end to end. In the meantime
the work is forging slowly ahead
but Major w. A. Rosenfeld, Rocl

Yes, dey good bird" the owner
usually answers to your inquiry,
and picking up an ancient, black
duster, he shakes it at the flrst

The first canary is q most obed-

quite surprising, coming as It does
from q delicatesseif canary. Once
started, he is very hard to stop, 50
that the owner must nap his duster
