THE POWER OF SYMPATHY

| used to say to Filbert Flynn
A lifelong friend of mine
When | beheld him hosting in
The ale and beer and wine:
Your love for liquor l depiore
AS all your friends should do;
1t won't be very long before
Your drinking ruins you
My sympathy was most sincere,
1t really made me sad
To see this ale and wine and beer
Put Filbert to the bad
Nv sentiments were wholly free
From any thought of pelf,
For when he went upon spree
He paid for it himself.
Now things have changed; to my abode
Each evening, without fail,
Comes Fibert Flynn, to get a load
On beer and wine and ale.
And still his habits | deplore
For | can plainly see
1t won't be very long before
His drinking ruins me!
My sentiments are sincere;
1t cuts me like knife
To see my wine and ale and beer
Endanger Filberts life.
To.watch him, in the Demons clutch
A soaked and sodden sot-
Works on my feelings twice much
As when he paid the shot!

proximstely 80 per cent in the pres.
ent amount Of revenue coming to
the city.
There are many improvements
which the city must have before
long, but because Of the desire to
not increase taxes are being de
layed as long as possible.
The sewer situation in the city
at the present time Is one Of the
most aggrayating and certainly one
OF the most acute. At the present
time there Is an open sanitary
sewer through Coal Run passing
over valuable property. This open
sewer drains practically all Of
Interest, Jackson street and the
Locust avenue sections. Hickman's
run is In the same condition. To
install the proper sewers for these
two places alone It would cost be.
tween $4,000 and 100000. AT a
maximum levy possible by law Of
$1.20 this work eJuld be started
but It would take quite a long tina
to pay for 1t.
Norval street also needs sew,
er badly for there the people have
been compelled to dispose Of theii
sewerage as best possible.
The public in general is familiar
with the condition OF certain
streets in the city. Petitions have
been in the hands Of city officials
for years asking for the paving Of
certain streets right in the heart
Of the city. Jefferson and Monroe
streets west Of Jackson street and
Raymond street IN the first ward
are probably the ones that need
paving worst.
A ne wfiltration plant from q
public point Of view Is also one
OF the city,s most crying needs. The
use Of chlorine in the water does
not eliminate the danger Of disease
which exist at the source Of the
city's water supply, but only re
duces the danger Of an epidemic
In the. abCence Of a filtration plant
the .watersts a continual source Of
danger and Is only safe 10 contln
