Old Friends are True Friends

The man, who loves dog and
a pipe, has two staunch friends
that never fail him in good luck or
in bad. They give all and ask
nothing in return. Day by day
they become nearer and dearer to
him. The man who has not a dog
and pipe has missed two of the
greatest things this good old world
can give.

Those Who Should Pay

To the Editor Of the Evening Pubic Lcd0"r:'
SRI would like to point out to your
readers who have been discussing the ques-
tion OF tho advancement in assessments that
a combined effort should be made In each
ward and in every district to bring to the
attention Of the department that arranges
the new asse easements, those houses that have
been purchased for speculation. and every
one Of these speculators. when he makes his
settlement, should be compelled to pay a
good stifr tax out Of the money he has
made.

Soon. soon, will the kindnst forget thee.

And thy steed by a stranger be reined
