"Spud Farrish while being one of the best fellows Imaginable is considered among his friends as being chock full of nerve ind capable of backing up any bluff he might see fit to make He made an offer recently while In Kansas Cltj , however , that kept himself In breathless suspense for a moment and fairly shook the glasses from the nose of Mark Lewis a Chicago newspaper man , who accompanied him 'Spud" was crossing the street at the lunctlon one day and while boarding a car lost his pocketbook containing some passes and something over ? SO In cash He did not discover the absence of the book until an hour later Then he hied himself to the office of an afternoon paper where he re lated his woes Of course the bojs vvho knew him said "You're ea j , " and "That's a good story to tell , " but this did not deter him from writing an advertisement offering a liberal reward for Its return. A couple of dajs later when he had about given up hope of hearing from his book again he received a note from a youv ; woman asking him to call Accompanied bj Lewis he went to the house. They were ad mitted bj a very pretty girl who asked "Spud" to describe the book he had lost Ho related briefly a list of the contents , vvhl-h the joung woman evidently found correct as she handed him the lost article Taking the $ SO from the book "Spud" handed It to her and said It was no more than right that she should have a suitable reward for her honesty. This was too much for Lewis , vvho knew that he nnd his friend together possessed Just $1 "T with which to resist the wiles of the citizens of Kansas City ' 'Spud" was game , however , and al though hi * hand trembled he did not appear to care a snap for the cash. The mother of the girl came to his rescue by saying she could not permit such a present for the mere return of the book. The pair gulped down their hearts and left the house thankful that they were again flush , and breathing all kinds of blessings upon the head of the finder of the monej' . 1'iTxiniiil I'arncrnnhN.

A resolution was Introduced in the ctt ) council several wefks ago calling upon the city attorn ? } to draft an ordinance for permanent walks on the west side of Q street Irom the viaduct went to the end of the street car tracks This ordinance has not been presented as jet , although residents In that section are complilnlng dall > about I the dilapidated condition of the walk * There I Is not a vacant house or store room on West Q street at the present time anl hun dreds of people dally traverse that thor oughfare A well kept walk Is me led anl If the wishes of some of the propert > owners had been compiled with permanent walks would have been laid some months ago It Is expected that walks of a substantial char acter will bo ordered in all the downtown portions of the cltv before long ns .Major i Ensor favors the placing of cither brick or 'stone walks In front of everj building of a permanent nature A new walk Is badly needed on Twenty-fifth street from the city hall building north to M street and It Is ex pected that the council will soon take up this matter and pass nn ordinance compell ing property owners on both sides of Twenty-fifth street between M and X streets to Inj durable walks. Work of the stmo kind Is needed In other parts of the city an 1 It Is thought that propcrtj owners can bo Induced to supplant board walks with brick or stone during the coming summer. If this Is done It Is believed that fewer accidents will occur and the cltv will not so fre- quentlj be held liable for damages. MUNI Pile ( .ixiil Iliinilo. Acting under the Instructions of Major Knsor , City Clerk Carpenter vesterday served a written notice on Chief Carroll to the effect that all policemen would be ex pected to file a good and sufllclent bond at once Out of the present force onlj nine policemen have filed bonds according to law. All bonds require a revenue stamp of the denomination of 30 cents and this the police olficers will be compelled to furnish , as there is no appropriation available out of cltj funds for the purpose In connection with police matters it might be stated that several extra policemen hove been put to work In order to enforce the recent order of the major in regard to midnight and Sunday closing Just who will paj for these extra policemen Is a question , ns the fund for police maintenance Is exhausted and no expense bejond the limits of the fund can be incurred except in emergencj cases * -uiI'l | > < > t Do if Tat ; * . Five hundred dog tags were received bj Cltj Clerk Carpenter jesterday afternoon The annual dog tax Is due on Maj 1 and all owners of canines will be expected to call at the clerk's office between this time and May 1 and procure a tag The rates will be the same as last jear $1 for a male dog and f2 for a female Last jear the policemen made an oarlj morning tour of the citj and shot all dogs found running loose. In sev eral Instances mistakes were made land an imals with togg were killed It is more than likely that this jear the killing or capturing of untagged animals will be left to the gar bage master and his assistants.

The packers report that the trade In smoked meats Is Improving. In fact there Is a better trade In this line than there was a year ago at this time One of the managers of the provision department of a prominent packing house said jesterdaj tfiat the pros pects for higher prices were good on account of stock in the hands of the packers being low and the demand constantly on tbe In crease. All of the local packers are doing their best to accumulate a surplus , but this cannot be done as long as the demand con stantly Increases With all the demands at the present time the requirements are not equal to those of a jear ago and owing to the shortage reported In live stock the mar ket for packing house products will un doubtedly go higher.
