Council Fixes
Howard Street
Building Lines
Objection to Plan for Ceding
Strips on South Side Met
By Agreement Reached
With Property Owners.
The Howard street controversy
was adjusted by the city council yes
terday when the city comniis
sioners visited the site of the pro
posed change of building lines be
Atreets.
N'o difference of opinion existed
as to the necessity or the method of
straightening the north side of How
ard street by condemning 10 feet
which new line is being observed by
, the paving contractor who is at
vork.
Permitted Building Extension.
The chief objection to the pro
posed plan for ceding a strip on the
south side of the street was that it
permitted a possible building exten
sion of 23 feet for the Flatiron build
ing at the Seventeenth street point
and thus would place the new build
ing line out of harmony with a line
of vision from the cast or west.
The owners of the Flatiron proper
ty agreed to accept 17 1-2 ieet of ad
riitional building space instead of 2.
fret, which proposition was agree-
able to L. V. Nicholas and other
protectants. This contemplates a
wide sidewalk at the Flatiron corner,
Wolf to Get ?20,000.
The proposition submitted by City
Commissioner Koutsky and in
formal' approved yesterday after
noon by council was that city pay to
t j it' i -mnrtn r - - i i
bold interest of half of the north
strip and the Kountze interests on
the south side of the street pay
$6,000 as their share of the $20,000,
the balance to be paid through the
medium of special taxes to be as
sessed through the district.
Howard street will be 07 feet wide
between Seventeenth and Eight
eenth, according to the new plan.
Flanagan May Join
His Wife in France
And Make Home There
Celine Rossi Flanagan, pretty
French bride of Charles Flanagan of
Omaha, will remain for the present
in France, where she is now visiting
her parents, instead of returning to
this country next month, as she was
expected to do.
Her husband may join her there
this fall and make his home in
France.
"Her father is interested in a
string of hotels and is taking over
seme more which he would like to
have us help him run," said Flana
gan. I haven't decided definitely
yet whether I will go over or not."
He said his wife naturally retained
deep love for her native land and
vould rather remain there if. he
wquldt consent to live" there." ' "

Charles E. Fanning.
More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE-
THE BATHTUB PIRATE
Though gales be strong and billows rough
And black with storm the skies.
From Faucet Point to Porcelain Bluff
His evil signal flies,
And well may mariners turn pale
And head their craft toward home,
When they descry his bellying sail
Across the tossing foam.
Where he has cruised, along the beach
Are statety ships and grand
Whose gaunt and naked timbers bleach
Upon the sunlit sand.
Where he has sailed, beneath the waves
Are heaps of human bones
Consigned to the eternal grave
Watched o'er by Davy Jones.
Blow high or low, he holds his course
Forever in pursuit
(Untouched by pity or remorse)
Of galleons to loot.
And treasure vessels seek in vain
To double Shower Cape,
When he appears upon the main
He baffles alt escape.
But even pirates need must rest,
And when the shadows fall.
Across the ocean's heaving breast
A deep and purple pall,
He says farewell a while to crime.
For Mother pats his head.
And murmurs: "Don't you think it's time
That children were in bed?"
ENDING FOR MODERN LOVE STORIES. .
"They lived unhappily ever after."
NO WONDER.

Tommy Tree Cricket.
After meeting that odd Mr. Mole
Cricket, who claimed to be his
cousin, Chirpy Cricket tried to find
out more about him from his nearer
relations. But there wasn't one that
had ever seen or heard of such a
person. One night Chirpy eve
ravelled quite a distance to call on
Tommy Tree Cricket, with the hope
that perhaps Tommy might be able
to tell him something.
Chirpy found Tommy Tree
Cricket in the tangle of raspberry

bushes beyond the garden. It was
not hard to tell where he was, be
cause he was a famous fiddler. He
plad a tune that was different from
Chirpy's cr-r-r-il cr-r-r-i! cr-r-r-i!
Tommy Tree Cricket fiddled re-teat!
re-teat! re-teat! And many con
sidered him a much finer musician
than Chirpy himself. He was small
and pale. Beside Chirpy Cricket
who was all but black, lommy Iree
Cricket looked decidedly delicate.
But he could fiddle all night without
getting tired.
"I've come all the way from the
yard to have a chat with you!"
Chirpy called to his cousin Tommy..
"Come up and have a seat!' said
Tommy Tree Cricket.
"I can find one here, thank you!
Chirpy answered.
"Oh! Don't sit on the damp
ground!" Tommy cried. "That's a
dangerous thing to do."
Chirpy Cricket smiled to himself.
In a wav Tommy Tree Cricket was
queer. He always clung to trees
and shrubs, claiming that it was
much more healthful to live off the
ground. But he was so pale that
Chirpy Cricket was sure he was mis
taken. "The ground's good enough for
me. Chirpy told his cousin.
"Well, we won't quarrel about that

tonight," said Tommy Tree Cricket.
""Sit there, if you will. And when
I've finished playing this tune we'll
have a talk. I only hope you won't
catch cold while you're waiting
down there."
"Can't you stop fiddling long
enough to talk with me now?"
Chirpy asked him. "I've come here
to ask you whether you ever saw a
cousin of ours called Mr. Mole
Cricket."
"Re-teat! re-teat! re-teat 1" Tommy
Tree Cricket was already fiddling
away as if it were the last night of
the summer. He was making so
much shrill music that he couldn't
hear a word Chirpy said. The more
Chirpy tried to attract his attention
the harder he played, rolling his eyes
in every direction-except that ot
his caller.
Several times Chirpy Cricket
leaped into the air, hoping that
Tommy Tree Cricket would see that
he had something important to say.
But Tommy paid not the slightest
heed to him.
At last Chirpy decided that he
might as well do a little fiddling him
self, to pass the time away. So he
began his cr-r-r-il cr-r-r-i! cr-r-r-i!
And then Tommy noticed him im
mediately. "Vou're playing the wrong tune!"
he cried. "It's re-teat! re-teat! re-teat!"
Chirpy Cricket thought that his
cousin's face was slightly darker, as
if a flush of annoyance had come
over it. He certainly didn't want to
quarrel with Tommy Tree Cricket.
So he said to him, very mildly, "I
fear you do not like my playing."
"I can't say that I do," said
Tommy. ''It makes me think of that
creaking pump at the farm house."
"And of what" Chirpy Cricket
stammered "of what, pray, does
your own fiddling remind you?"
"Ah!" said Tommy. "My own
music is like nothing in the world
except the sound of a shimmering
moonbeam."
There is no doubt that Tommy
Tree Cricket thought very well of
his own fiddling.
