T0ddys Story
For Children
BY THE STORY LADY.

Mr.. Ramsey, who was rich, and
sick, and old, lay in his invalid chair
on his veranda and tried to decide
whether to leave his money to a rich
nephew, who didn't deserve it or to an
orphan asylum. He got tired of
thinking of that and tried to remeIn-
Der what the little boy had looked
like, that had broken a hole through
his hedge and came into ask him how
to make some money. One thing he
was sure of, he had red hair and
freclSles. To his great surprise that
same red head appeared through that
same hole.
'Did-you ask me to come backs"
asked Red-head?
Mr.. Ramsey nodded his head.
II was in such a hurry that l was
MT sure. @WHl you ask your hired
man to open the gate for me-? I beg
ged Mama to let me bring some of the
custard that she made for us kids
supper. I'll prob'ly spill it If 1 come
through this hole"
'Will I have to eat the ,custard?"
thought Old Man Ramsey. But when
he saw it in Peters yellow bowl un-
der a snowy napkin he changed his
mind and ate every bit.
'The best thing 1 ever ate" he said
as he leaned back in his chair.
''Shucks," said Peter walking
around the veranda on the railing,
"you ought to eat some of Mama's
pork n BEANS"
Then he settled down in a big chair
and told Mr.. Ramsey about Palmer
Park and the ghost they thought they
saw and about the new a that Uncle
Peter gave Mama.
"Of course Dad likes it but I bet
he'd of liked it better if he could have
given it to Mama himself"

But now they began to wonder and
ask questions among themselves.
Here were the campers evidently TAX

man-hunters and evidently ~accustom-

of a desperate type. 1t was no won-

WAITING ON RAIL HEADS
Pike and Exchange May Be
Paved Some Time In the
{ Future

Joseph Rausch, representing the
Equity Warehouse and farmers !, Of
this section, appeared before the city
council at their meeting this morn
ing. asked that they do what they
could - improve the street running
from Minnesota street down under
the trestle to the Omaha stock yards,
which Mr.. Rausch stated was in a
bad condition. Mayor Waters stat
ed that the street was in fairly good
condition on this side of the trestle
but that the bad part of the road was
on the railroads property and it would
therefore be best for the Equity
warehouse and the farmers to take
the matter up direct with them.
Councilman w. r. Hammett re-
ported that the sidewalk in front of
the property at 228 South Front
street was in need OF repairs and
Mayor Waters asked that resolu-
. tion be drawn. up requesting the
property, owners to repair or put in
new sidewalk. There was a diffep-
opce Of opinion as to whether or not
the resolution should be drawn up
immediately or left until the, next
meeting, but Mayor Waters stated
that he thought it should be done at
once so the work could be started Inn
mediately without, any delay. This,
after some argument, was done and
the resolution passed by the council
Hearing On Assessment.
Upon motion il was moved that
the assessment be made and hearing
held two weeks from. today on the
matter of the draining. grading the
graveling of East Main Division,
Marsh, Dane, Fair and Dickinson
streets,
Councilman Olson brought up the
matter that some of the property
owners who own lapd adjoining the
slough had made the request-that
when the, SLOUGH was flooded for an
ice rink that the water line be made
lower BECAUSE of, tie fact that in Die
snring of the year they have. gardens
which run little. way in the slough
and it always delays theSplanting, OF
these gardens because of the - fact
that it takes SO long for the water to
drain away The matter was refer
red, to Councilman Mahowald for at
tentiop. sf6 49, 7r ~ .iei, 70
Councilman Hammett reported
that steps should be taken at once
for preparations for the paving of
Pike and Exchange streets so that
the work can be started the first
thing in the spring. Mayor Waters
requested that City Attorney Hughes
take the matter up again with the
railroad companies and see If they
will stand their share OF the expense
o8 the paving. The Milwaukee COM
pany has agreed to stand its share. but
the Omaha road have not as yet done
anything definite in the matter!
The matter of installing new street
lights in Duke's>-Addition and West

given attention by the ri yor.
