City Attorney Metz went over litis document with a sharp eye, an 1 made a number of changes in phraseology. E. K. Haldeman of Grand Island, district commercial j manager, stood by silently and In terposed no objection. Whin the city attorney had got the document doctored up to his satisfaction, it was Introduced. Mayor Rodgers announces that a copy of the new franchise is now at the office of the city clerk, and he has issued a special invitation to cTl izens to come down and look it over and register their objections, if any. Kxtrcti Policeman Added A petition, signed by a number of business men, requesting that an additional night man be added to the police force, was then read. There was some discussion, and it was pointed out that there, had been a number of burglaries lately, that there was a wave of crime all over the country, and that one man could not give the proper attention. Councilman Harris moved that Clr Reed be empowered to employ an additional man for at least sfxty days, and it was carried without a dissenting vote. Chief Reed also brought up the question of speeding, and suggested the city purchase some sort of ve hicle with which to chase the men who burn the roads. Mayor RoC gers spoke of Jaywalking, which Is growing more prevalent w completion of the paving. Council man Hill suggested as a remedy that ! the crossings be marked. ! Septic Tank Considered j Superintendent Campbell of the j light and water department gave a summary of the report of a federal inspector on the city's septic tank, which has been the cause of consid erable discussion, due to complaints registered against It. According to this report, the septic tank is good, bo far as it goes, but it doesn't go near far enough. It seems that or namental Improvement is built so that it only does one thing, when it should do several. It will purify water, the way it is constructed, but It doesn't have any effect on sew age. What is needed is a succession of gravel pits, which will be rather expensive. However, it will be bet ter to do it right, and thus save further expense and other unpleas ant features. A couple of years ago the city expended $7,000 to little avail, and the federal inspector urged that the job be finished. The council decided to take the matter up with the state authorities, and it Is quite probable, after further investigation, that steps will be taken to do away with the curse of East Alliance. Among other things that came ur was a communication from Wood & Oakley, financial agents, who wrote they could not handle bonds of thi city of Alliance because this is not a city of the first class. City Attor ney Metz called attention to the fad that the recount made this city of the first class, and that If this did not g othrough, it was possible that a certified census would be sufficient , Alliance became a city of the first class originally through such means. Wood & Oakley have been written to that effect. It was brought up that the skating rink now operating had no license. Chief Reed aBked to have an ordi nance passed forcing them to play a new tune on their organ. No action was taken. THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY By OTILLIA F.

It was an old, but pretty pluee, lint it became lonely and gloomy dis possessed of the bright, vivacious girl who had made It home. Indeed, Be sides that, a thrifty, economical wom an with keen business sense, Mrs. Clayton reckoned on fuel and general labor saving, besides having a definite purpose In view in behalf of the young adventurers on the sea of matrimony. The marriage of the twain ?eenied Ideal. They were deeply In love mutu ally. Lucille was patient and devoted, Myron had never paid attention to any other girl. They seemed absorbed each In the other and no token of a cloud threatened the fair sky of love. The path of Mrs. Clayton had not been one of roses In holding on to her little home and bringing up ami edu eating her daughter. Her husband had died when Lucille was only eight years of age. leaving little except encum bered property. ills widow had thought and worked hard to get rid of Indebtedness and acquire a little stir plus. She was sure, of two material points when Myron Bradley wedded Lucille. These were that she bad train ed her daughter to full obedience, to accept her counsel, and that Myron really liked her. The policy adopted by the wise mother was to win and hold the love and respect of her son-in-law. She realized that, lonely as she was, denied the constant company of her only child, she must not betray her sentiments nor infringe upon the new relationship. Mrs. Clayton set about eliminating herself from the life and struggles, the ups and downs of the newly wed ded couple. She visited them only ones a week. She preached to Lucille fond attention to Myron on all occasions and treated her son-in-law as if she trusted him implicitly. Experienced and observing person that she was, she secretly followed the course of tle marital life those two led, but never mingled in It or criticised or advised. All the time, however, she was placing a secure foundation to be prepared to win them more fully and assist them when the hour of need arrived. Pa tiently and intelligently she awaited that Juncture, and was not surprised when one day Myron came to her with a serious face. She welcomed him. "I've come to see you about Lucille and myself, mother." said Myron. "She is the dearest little wife that ever lived, and I love her more and more every day of my life." "That is as It should be," encour aged Mrs. Clayton, "and with that for the basis you cannot fall to gain hap piness and peace." "Yes, but, you see, we are young and inexperienced and make many mistakes. It would be different if we had you right at hand to decide for us knotty questions as they come up. Honestly, mother, I get homesick and lonesome for you. Can't you arrange to come and stay with us permanent ly? Lucille will be happier, and I would feel as If there was a standi, sensible pilot at the helm who would steer us clear of the rocks we run up against every once in a while." "What are the rocks, Myron?" In quired Mrs. Clayton gently. "Well, we are both extravagant," confessed Myron desperately. "Come to reckon up, we find that we have lived way beyond our means and are in a sort of tangle. Lucille does her best in running the house and I don't waste any money outside of home ex. penses, but somehow we have beeo getting behind. In fact, there Is there is a deficit. In a word come and help us get on the right basis." v Mrs. Clayton was too diplomatic to assent to the first Impulsive notions of her son-in-law. Dearly as she would love to be with these, her children, she realized that It would be, at the best, an experiment Myron got down to details and Mrs. Clayton grasped them In their full practical sense. Be. fore he left she had solved the problem, not offering the suggestion, bat leading him to the only point ahe would consider as -partaking in their affairs. Myron was delighted to give up their apartment and come to live at "home." The old house was to be open ed up In its original cheery homelike aess and he. was to contribute a stated amount for sustaining It A program was mapped out where Mrs. Clayton wet to be the directing force, and the happy husband and wife settled down Into their new career "under mother's fond protecting wing." Within six months Lucille had been trained Into the clearest of house keepers, and Myron had retrieved the extravagance of the past under the skilful guidance and co-operation of "mother." They were all seated in (he porch one Saturday afternoon when ihe postman brought a letter coiitanini: the circular of some down town store. Lucille received It and passed It to her husband.
