LESSON FOR ALL

WRITER'S FABLE

lie Sage, the genial chronicler of
"The Adventures of Gil Bias" was
not content to send his book into the
world without some ACCOMPLISHMENT to

story teller introduced his work with
q fable.
Two students, travelling to Sala-
manca. CHANGED upon spring at the
roadside and. having paused to
quench their thirst. they noticed
stone which. though partly over
grown by weeds, bore traces of an
old inscription. The two youths
cleared away the foliage and dirt and
succeeded In deciphering an inscrIp-
ton lit. pure Castilian: Here lies
buried the soul OF Peter Garcian. the
Llcentiate"
One of the students burst Into
loud guffaw at the suggestion that
any mans soul could be inferred In
the earth and, with sheer at the
absrrdity of the legend, went on his
way. But his fellow considered.
"There Is some mystery here; and
remained to make further investiga-
tIon. With some difficulty, digging
with his knife, he managed to get the
stone up. Beneath 1t lay bag of
gold with a card upon which was
written: "Thou who hast had wit
to discover the meaning of the In
scription, / make mine heir"
Now, 1t Is the virtue of good ia.

Asphalt will be used as the sur face of the new pavement to be laid from School to Wolcott streets on East Main street, it was stated to-day by Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly. For while it was believed that a cement sur- face would be adopted but the as- phalt will be used because of the fact that it will. be uniform with the present ends with which the new pavement will connect.
 Furthermore, the asphalt will be used, it was stated, because of the fact that the city's asphalt mix ing plant will be able to take care of the supply without any added expense. Had cement been used the city would have been obliged to either buy the cement and mix it or purchase it ready mixed.
 The area in the middle of Meri- den road, from East Main street to Mill Plain, will also receive an as- phalt covering. The city work men are expected to start laying
