Once their was little boy and
he was very poor. When his birth

He was happy and when he was

boy and they were good friends,
and one day they found out that
they were cousins.

PARIS, Jan. 19.-It is Sunday aft
ernoon and where 90 you think l
am? Standing in front of an open
air Punch and Judy show. The
Guignol Theater In full operation
once more! Beside me stand two
American N. P.'s (not members Of
Parliament but metropolitan po-
lice). The are trying to look dig
nified, are grinning from ear to ear.
perhaps at the shrill laughter of the
kiddies, perhaps because just then
Mr.. Punch's dog turns tables on
him and grabs the big stick out OF
his hand.
WELL" says the M. P, 81 suppose
that shows as old as they make
'em!"
Yes, Punch and Judy l believe
can claim to be as old as the old
est minstrel joke, yet it is ever
young to the children. The place
in front of the little booth has low
benches and these are filled with
little folk with beaming faces. The
noise sounds as If we stood by a
large cage Of chirping canaries.
1t is not just an ordinary Punch
and Judy show, just an ordinary
occasion. 1t has a far greater sig
nificance. 1t means the children
are back in Paris. 1t means world
made decent for little ones once
more.
Old Friends Again.
All the old-time friends are there
along the Champs-Elysees, There
are the toy booths hung with jump
ing ropes, hoops, whips, whistles,
balls, wooden animals, dolls, tops.
There are booths with chocolate, a
bit of candy, mostly figs, dates and
honey or saccharine, but still it's
candy; there is dry bread, Of course
the way a French child chews
away on dry bread never fails tc
astonish an American. There are
little cakes of the kind the prefet
of the police allows.

BIDS FOR BUILDING ROAD HIGH
Hence All Were Rejected by the Com
missiOners Last Week

To think of building roads of sub
stantial nature at this day is almost
prohibitive land to actually build them
the proposition is staggering, as wit
ness the following:
The Board of County Commission
ers for Garrett county have without
minutes letup during the past year
ndeavored to secure a bid for the con-
struction of two miles of concrete
road leading from Friendsville up one
of the prongs of Bear Creek to con-
meet with the present state road at
the bridge just below Kaese's mill,
on one or two occasions have been
successful in getting contractors inter-
ested who have submitted bids for its
construction, but inevery case the fig
ures were considered too high and the
bids were rejected for this reason.
Last Monday the final bids were re-
ceived for the construction of the two
miles of road, when three bids were
filed with the Board as follows:
Joseph Danto, Martinsburg, West
Va, $87,595; Cumberland Construc-
ton Co., Cumberland, $112,951; Wang
Construction Co., Cumberland, S104,-
761, the bids of each of the above
covering the work as specified.
The Commissioners BOARD consid-
cred the bids as prohibitive and all
were rejected. In the spring, it was
stated at the Office of the Commission
ers day or two ago, that another
effort will be put forth by the Board
to have the road constructed as the
specifications require.

LONDON, Aug. Is (by mail) When,
after the Davis cup preliminary with

many veterans in 1t, the committee re-
sponsible for the selection was inclined
to ignore them. However, calm re-

the realization that some of the men
truly were too old for the team. AS
