Perfect Harmony

Things have changed at our house
Between just May and I.
We now feel quite united
BY a strong and binding tie.
We've banished petty squabbles
And sworn by all that's true
To always stand together
It's the safest way to do.
We've found that fellow feeling
Which all the world respects
You see on Sunday mornings
We shave each others necks.

A Dancer Grown Old

A Dancer Grown Old
Give me no pity! 1t is true
The dance is done, the lights are
out;
The gayety, the friends I knew
Are only things to dream about;
The bright flowers withered long ago;
Stilled are the voices that once
praised
My art. l knew 1t would be so
The while my star in splendor
blazed.
But have tasted sweet applause;
And love and Joy belonged to. me;
I've known life's ecstasy because
I've danced until I seemed to be
A wee part of the whirling spheres.
A flame that burned, light that
glanced!
keep my memories through the
years.
I pity you who have not danced!

RECESSED ING is
HELD YESTERDAY AZ
TERNoON WHEN BIDS
ARE ACCEPTED

At recessed meeting of the City
Council held yesterday afternoon, the
city disposed of s225,0o worth of
public Improvement six per cent
bonds for $222,750 together with
accrued interest from date of bonds
to date of delivery to the buyers of
the issues, who are Walter, Woody,
and Heimerdinger, and Well, Roth
and .Irving, a consolidation being eff
fected among the bidders who were
successful in having the city accept
their propositions. With the accrued
interest the rate will reach above
par, which is considered a very good
proposition for the city according to
the sentiment of the councilmen who
disposed of the bonds at the session
held.
The first bids received and read
at the meeting yesterday afternoon
were rejected after which the rep
resentatives of the bond buyers pres
ent submitted further bids which were
finally accepted after thorough dis
cussion of the matter among the
councilmen and the representatives
of the various bonding firms bid
ding on the proposition.
1t is the purpose of the city to
use the funds to be derived from the
bond issue for the constructions of
nine additional holes to the muni-
cipalk4oh course on Stock Island. the
filing IN Df low land adjacent to-
the linka. the paving OF large num-
Der of streets, and the construction
of sidewalks and curbing in connec-
tion Herewith.
The city has been endeavoring for
the past several weeks to dispose of
the bonds in question, and the work
on the many improvements planned
viii be started as soon as practical.
On completion of the additional
work on the golf links the municipal-
ity win then have an 18-hole course,
which win compare favorably with
any golf links in the country. The.
nine-hole course now being used is
considered an excellent one, which
fact was demonstrated in the recent
match staged which was participated
in by many golf champions, includ-
ing French and British stars, all of
whom were much pleased with the
well laid-out links on which the big
event was conducted.

One of the most unique and thor
