is unsightly, and many think it a cause
of sickness, and is a serious damage to
property, which it shuts but from the

$1 per running foot, and we would
suggest that the city make some ar

while stan ding at the foot of the open
house stairs, was accosted by an ac
quaintance, who asked:
Uncle Billy, are von going to see
the show?”
“What sort erf a show is it, Llge?”
“One o’ these here actin’ shows,
whar men an’ women cone out on a
platform an’ bow an’ scrape.,’
“Jibbosses in it, Lige?”
“Jio bosses, Uuele Silly.”
“Then I don’t b'lieve I’ll go up. I
got enough of that sort of thing when

seed all they can do. Come on here
an' let’s go ’round here whar that
fellow is playin’a fiddle in a grocery
