This week , Street Commissioner
O'Neil is putting the finishing touches
on a kitchen addition to his dwelling
house.

the largest assortment and the richest
de&igns of the season. His prices are
reasonable.
Do not allow yourself to be misled.
The B. & M. meat market sells the
choicest meats of all kinds and at the

To one who is not acquainted with the
joke it is exceedingly amusing. It is
made in joints so that it will form a coiler
or lie upon the floor at length. The
mouth is partly open and from it pro
trudes a forked tongue which delicately
balanced , moves incessantly.
"This is the way to bring people to
your town. Make it the most charm
ing and beautiful place on earth , make
it the talk of the world , and then the
world will come and try to live with
you. You needn't be frightened if they
do. They would find something to go
to work at. Most of 'em would bring
their knitting with them. "
I A writer in an exchange springs the
Hollowing : There is an old superstition
about the weather which I find very
few people know of , although I have
heard it since childhood. It is that ,
however gloomily and dull it may be on
Wednesday , the sun is sure to show
itself , if only for a few minutes , as
Wednesday was the day on which it was
created. Whenever I have noticed it
has been the case and itis certainly a
curious coincidence.
