Loser on Shoe Bills.

Among the delegations before the
board Of public works recently was
one from the North Side, complaining
that new sidewalks in front of prop
erty owned by them had a rough sur
face.
Members of the board explained
that 1t had excluded the smooth finish
from its sidewalk specifications, be-
cause of the fact that the smooth fin.
ish soon wears off, does not make the
walks last longer. and during wet
weather, makes pavements slippery
and dangerous. One board member
pointed out that eliminating the
smooth finish reduces the cost of the
sidewalk.
But, Mr.. Chairman" expostulateC

walk, but think what l lose in in

Horn Books and Their. IIses

Horn books were used as early as
the Sixteenth century by the school.
boys of that day, and acquiring even
the fundamentals of education By
them was tedious occupation. Books
as they are known today, were not tc
be had for the asking, and such as
were In existence were not to be trust
ed to the grimy hands of small boys
The horn book resulted. 1t consisted
of q single page containing the alpha
bet or simple words pasted to thin
oak board. and covered over with G
sheet of horn transparent enough sc
that the young eyes could make out
the lettering beneath. The horn was
fastened to the board with thin strips
of brass. and the scholar could get the
affair as dirty as he wished, a damp
cloth renewing at will.

gushed. "But no wonder. Why,
remember my happiest days were when

the length of the dress she was wear
ing, so there was no installing his
hint. You might try bingham instead
of the silk you're now wearing" he
suggested.
