 ed Judge M. H. Geissler at Tuesday 1 | mornings session of the city court. Mir. ] i Sponcey was frank to admit that he | 1 didn't restrict himself as to the amount

Richard and Henry $ will take an interest in the economical r administration of affairs, which in their - ignorance. is today wholly lacking. a can imagine no more effective method of ', enforcing this vitally important educa- a ton.
