flayor Tom Johnson's Way.
Major W. J. Gleason appeared beforo
the board of control one day last week
and announced that ho wished to
niaUe a comnlaint.
"Go ahead," said Mayor Tom L.
Johnson.
"The Big- Consolidated Street Car
company, is preparing to relay its
tracks on Cedar avenue and put down
the old cobble stones between tracks."
"What's tho kick?"
"They're an eyesore and "
"Come forward, Mr. McCormick,"
called the mayor to the manager of
tho Big Consolidated.
"We're only relaying one track,"
said McCormick, "next year we'll relay
the other and put down Medina block
stone between both tracks."
"Is that satisfactory, Mr. Gleason?"
asked the mayotf.
"Yes, if they do it."
"Will you write a letter to the board
agreeing to do that?" inquired the
mayor of Mr. McCormick.
"I will."
"Another thing," 'said Major Glea
son, "they're putting these cobble
stones on our lawns."
"Will you repair all lawns?" said
the mayor, turning to McCormick.
"We are willing to do anything we
can."
"Will you repair tho lawns?"
"We'll put down boards and protect
thera'
"Will you repair the lawns?"
"Um-er-yes."
"Will you include that in your let
ter?"
"Yes."
"Are you satisfied, major?"
"I am."
"What's the next business?" in
quired the mayor.
Before the board adjourned Man
ager M'cCormick returned with the let
ter in question.
"Hold on," exclaimed tho mayor,
"this don't say you are going to relay
tho second track next summer. If
you don't agree to relay it we'll make
you pave between tho tracks you are
now tearing up with block stone if wo
can."
"I think wo will relay tho second
track next summer, but if you insist on
that I want to consider the matter
further."
"All right. How long do you want?"
"Until tomorrow."
"Have you begun laying any of
those cobble stones?"
"Yes."

"Stop it, will you, until we agree as,
to that second track?"
"I don't know as I should."
"Then you won't?"
"I don't see why I should."
"Tom Galvin," cried the mayor. The
deputy director of public works came
forward. "Go richt to Cedar avenue
and stop the men who aro relaying cob-
Dio stones there. Don't allow them to
begin again until you hear from this
board."
Galvin hustled out. McCormick's
face flushed, but he didn't have a word
to say. Chicago Chronicle.
A Real Hero.
"You go first, Jim; you aro mar
ried." The two men were inside a
boiler cleaning it and their lives wero
in peril because of the inrushing
steam. James, the man addressed for
whom William had stepped aside,
rushed up the ladder and escaped with
his life, though badly burned. When
William had reached tho top tho flesh
was dropping from his limbs. His act
of heroism cost him his life.
It Is hard to imagine such an act,
such thoughtfulness, such regard for a
homo and surroundings, it is our duty,
however, to place the name of the man
high on tho honor roll of the real
heroes of our day and time. Buffalo

Two Great Secrets.
Adele, bolder and more curious than
Victor (for she waB a girl), wanted to
find out what was the meaning of his
silent admiration. She said: "I am
sure you have secrets. Have you not
one secret greater than all?" Victor
acknowledged that ho had secrets and
that one of them was greater than all
the rest. "Just like mo!" cried Adelc.
"Well, come now, tell mo your greatest
secret and I will tell you mine." "My
great secret," Victor replied, "Is that
I love you." "And my great secret is
that I love you," said Adele, like an
echo. (From Love Letters of Victor

Precept and Practice.
"We are slaves of custom," answered
Mr. Bliggins. "Wo tie ourselves down
to tho tyranny of tradition and mock
tho very men who seek to Tree us from
our shackles. We art too ready to
fear what peoplo think; too ready to
spend a thoughtless gibe"
Mr. Bliggins suddenly stopped and
began laughing.
"What's the matter?" asked his
wife.
