Mr.. C1eary slammed down a bundle Of
papers he was holding and exploded with
the words anent the removal Of Mrs.
feathers tongue.
IF you were a man you wouldn't say
things like that to me-" the irate clerk
continued.

YOU KNOW ABOUT
BEING LATE
The College and Edison avenue people
were put in an Unpleasant frame of
mind at the outset of the hearing by
the failure of Mr. Miller to arrive until

those people the matter of resurfacng
their street they only agreed to assent to
the improvement after we had given them
our word Of honor that we would elm

the Edison avenue improvement the cost
to them VIII be approximately twice al
