A school meet iug was held, and it had been thor oughly advertised by the posting of printed noticcx, mention in 1 he Review and the distribution of dodgers. Pmhahly every school patron ami tax payer in the city knew of the holding of this pattie- tilar meeting Anyhow, lilts ihmi pie managed to hiic the time to attend, to hear the annual icpoits tend. In the bindnewi section sev eral coloied men and women playci ragtime music and sang coon songs, They had tin audience ol 350 atleu live eople. Can anybody explain? That man P.irrish, he who is assessor at houttle, has been doing something that is likely to be cop led by other officials who have jobs in the Mime line. Mr. Parrish's lutoM stunt is to tax liaucliises Last year Seattle' electric com pauy'.s franchise, valued at a million and a half tlollais, was not asserted at all all. This year the city iiKsvssor ml it up at its teal value. Whv taxed it 111 shouldn't he? It is a valuable asset, and without which the light ing coitiMtuy would be powcilo to do business. I he beadle askcoi has done several things tmt of the ordinary, and his latest move in assessing the franchises is uveiviiig a large sled jolt irom those liable to be affected. The street line of Richmond stieut must be as crooked and wob bly us a pug dog's tail. Hvery time a controversy comes up in the council in tegaid to the vaiious streets or water fi out in the vicinity of Richmond street its lines begin to wander. Then one of those tan booted men who squints along a lit tle brass thing is sent out from town by the city engineer, Thesqiiintei locates the lines of the stieet at so much w squint. Within the past two yea is the city has had this line located twice at an expense of near ;?ioo. One man with a ttiod lo cated the stieet nine feet to one side of u certain stake. Later he lo cated it at a point nine feet on the opposite side of the stake, or eigh teen feet away from where he fust located the line. Now the council is going to hiie an expeit to locate the line of Richmond stieet. Some -K'oplc think the city is being bun coed in regard to this alleged engi neering, but as long as the man in the tan boots does not complain the people are jniweiless to stop it. 1 For Sale A fine driving mate, and almost new buggy.

Prom a remnrk made by n coun cilman who has been very active in politics and who is looked upon as authority ns to what the council will or will not do, there is no doubt but that the Marine Iron works will be presented with the valuable strip of water frontage it desirts near its plant. One of the slogans of the present council before it got into ollicc was "bt. Johns must Have a large public dock n dock nt which boats can laud 1" Hy exchanging tlie portion of Charleston street nsked for by the Murine Iron works for the same frontage alongside of the present city dock, .St. Johns can secure what it desires. Is the present council going to throw this opDortuuity nway f A majority of the present council was elected two yenrsagoon n pint form declaring that no streets shotilt be given away. A prominent mem her of the Republican club, under whose manipulation n majority of the present council were elected to office, also declared that "None of the candidates of the Republican club, if elected, will give any streets 11 wav I" And the man who mnde the above statement is now a mem bcr of the council. Another plan is to "lease the street for manufacturing purposes." The people cannot be hoodwinked by this sort of play. Let tlie conn ell lensc the piece of ground so that a larger and better dock may be owned by the city. I.et them work for the interests of St. Johns, and not for that of a concern who looks with coveteous eyes on adjoining piotietty. It might be well to state that The Review bears no ill will towards the Marine Iron works. The iron men see 11 chance of securing sixty feet of valuable water front by asking for it, and are using the council to obtain it. Pmhahly John Jones V Co. would tlo the same thing.

WAGONER St. Johns, Okhc.on. THE PHILANTHROPIST. Hit Partlttent but Futile Efforts In First Aid to th Injured. An elderly philanthropist who wns walking homo late one night from his club passed n prosperous looking npartment house nnd no ticed it man in evening clothes lying motionless on the sidewalk. "Pirat uid to the injured," murmured the philanthropist ns ho shook tho in valid gently. "Wind's the mnttcr, my dear sir?" "NoVn'; jcs tnkin' rest," said tho sleeper. "Whcro do you live?" pursued tho li. P. "Thish 'partmcnt house, thir' floor front." This wns rather a lnrgo freight order for tho old gcntlo mnn; but, being willing to do good, Sic put tho invalid on his shoulder, boro him laboriously to tho third landing, found his room nnd tossed him into n largo curtained bed in tho front of the apartment. Tho philanthropist Immediately went downstnirs and out into tho street. And tho first thing ho saw on the sidewalk wus nppnroiitly tho same man ho had just carried up stairs. "Strange, strangol" mutter ed tho philanthropist, leaning over the mnn. "Where- do you live, my dear 1111111?" "Thir lloor front," replied tho fellow almost innudibly. So tho philanthropist picked him up, groaned" up to the third floor front and again dumped his snor ing burden into tho mysterious enn oiiied and curtained bed. And for the third time ho went out into tho street and for tho third timo found what appeared to ho tho sumo man in tho Mimo place, lying in tho snmo ntlltudo. "Whore do you live?" ho nsked, troinl'iing with excitement. "Thir" lloor front," said tho man very faintly. "I must bo going in sane!" groaned tho P.. P. as ho ran for the janitor. "Janitor, for heav en's sake, tell me how many young men nn living in your third floor front?" he gunned. "Wan, and lie do bo tho divvil's own," ciiid the janitor. "Is ho trip lets?" was tho next question. "lie is not." "Well, how does it come, then, that I havu carried this fel low upstairs to his room twice, put him into Hint curtained hod to tho front, yet each time llnd him hero on the sidewalk beforu I lutvo timo to got downstairs?" "Where did you my you put him in his room?" "Why, 1 put him in that largo curtained bed lo tho front."

A story U told of a coup!o of farmers who live a few miliu apart, according to the H11IT11I0 Times. One day one called on tho other, happening around at dinner timo. Tho pornon called upon, by tho way, wns rather a penurious old fellow. Ho nut nt the table enjoying his din ner. The vinilor drew toward tho table, expecting tho old farmer to invito him to dine. Tho old farm-1 cr kept on eating. "What s the news tin y neighbor? Xo news, on? ' rotir way, "Xo, I bolievo not." Pntfontlv 11 thought struck tho visitor. "Well, yes, friend, I did hear of one item of news that is worth mentioning." "I In! What is it?" "Xeighbor John has a cow that hits live calves." "Is that so? (load gracious I What in thunder does tho fifth calf do when the others nro feeding?" "Why, he ttuuds nnd looks on, , just ns I do, like a dumb fool." ".Mary, put up another phtte." Hat Near th Equator. U is generally supposed that equatorial Africa is the warmest place 011 earth, but it is not. Tho nights in the torrid zono frequently nro cold.

In one of his letters ho informed them that he had "married n strapping widow j with six children." You may iiiumino whnt it stir this created in tho household.

A mnn docs not take off his hat to it lady because ho looks nicer without it. Th6 instance of bald men would bo nlono sufficient to up- ict such nn explanation, lie does it because you must post tivcly do something when you moot a lndv or vour whole civilization goes to pieces, nnd taking off your hat is easier than taking off your nccktio or lying faco downwnrtl on the pavement. The primary point is that you must do something, not that you must do something beautiful. And as long as cultivated people cannot grasp this fact they will find their .1. !l . ..ill. 1 .1.-1! lit. eitorts quite lumo 111 uciumg nun what they often consider the dull ness of the middle classes or tho vulgarity nnd morbidity of tho poor. In so fur ns the bourgeois thinks it more important to wear n Sundny hut than n becoming lint ho is per fectly right. It is more important; tho religion of the tribe is mora im portant than tho pretty nppenrnnco of Mr. Jones. In so far ob the charwoman thinks it more important thnt her nusonnu should have a "proper" funeral than a pretty funeral she is pcricctiy riclit. It is more important. De corum is as permanent a human sentiment its art nnd n much more pressing one. Any healthy savage would understand tho charwoman's sentiments exactly and perhaps alarm her with demonstrations of barbaric approval. lie would also understand per fectly the sentiment of a Sunday lint. I believe in savnges myself. I think thnt in a great many mat tors they represent the enduring common spuso nnd mornl minimum of humanity. There is nothing which I so sincerely respect in snv nges ns their widesprend nnd sener nlly ascertained disposition to wenr top huts. Iondon Illustrated aNows, Left It All to Noah. A good story is told with refer ence to the publication of n certain Iliblicul dictionary. The editor is raid to havo given the article on tho delugu to whnt ho considered 11 snfo hunt), but when tho article was sent in it was found to contain viows which would eerlainlv havo shocked orthodox readers. Whnt could bo done? Tho volumes had to bo pub lishcd forthwith. In this dilemma ho put in his dictionary, "Dclugo seo Hood." This, at any rate, post poned the difficulty, and tho articlo on tho noon was given out 10 a writer who it win thought could bo bolter trusted. Hut when this sec ond article cumo in it was found to ho worse than tho first, and an other postponement wns necessary Tho new volume contained another reference, "Flood seo Xonh," tho bewildered editor trusting that by tho timo Xonh was reached ho would succeed in rinding a man who would Ik) nblo to mlnglo scienco nnd or thodoxy in uuo degrees. London Til-Hits. Prayed For Mere 8nakee. In a rural town in Michigan lived a family named Heaver noted for their hardihood in all munnor of naughtiness. They were tho great torment of tho minister s lito. Finally 0110 of tho bov was bit by n rattlesnake and sent for him. He fo'ind tho hid greatly scared and verv penitent. After some convcr to lion tho reverend gentleman closed tho interview by prayer. "0 Lord." ho began, "wo thank thco for rattlesnakes. We thank thee that n rattlesnake has bit Jim Send another, we pray thee, to bito Tom and nuo to bito Joe. And, O Lord, tend thu biggest kind of a rattlesnake to bito tho old man, for nothing less than rattlesnakes will bring this Heaver family to ropont- auro. .Metaphysical .Magazino. Arctlo Birds. It has Ix-en a source of interest and wonder to arctic explorers to liud such quantities of singing birds within tho arctio circle. They are abunduut beyond belief. Hut the immense crops of cranberries, crow berries nnd cloudberries that ripen in tho northern swamps account for the presence of tho birds. Tho ber ries are preserved in the snow, which begins to melt about the time the songsters uppcar, and then they feast royally on tho crystallizod fruits nature has so marvelously kept for them, Spoiled In Transmission. This is the way tho railway man heard the conundrum: "At what time shortly before noon is it 3 o'clock? At a quarter of Vi, becauso a quarter of twelve is three." And this the way he worked it off on his friends: "At wlmt timo shortly before noon is it 3 0 clock? At 11:45, be cause 11:45 is 3. It doesn't sound right either, blaruo it, but that's the way 1 heard it." Colic and Diarrhoea.
