Tp this: connection he told about a King- ston man: who, in the past twenty-five years, hde shifted from one business to another, and who is still in vigor- ous health. The man in question used to keep a shop in the town. He had a lad employed behind the counter, and often used to discourse to him on honesty. This shopkecper used to to churelf on Sunday with a very large Bible under his arm and a very, very pious look on his face. Well, said the Lampman, one day he looked out of his shop window and saw a man coming--a man to whom he owed money. He hurriedly called the boy and said to him: "When that man comes, tell 'him I'm not in. don't want to see him." Whereupon he hur- riedly hid himself under a counter mn the rear of the shop. When the unwelcoine guest arrived, he asked the boy if Mr. ---- WAS in. The boy was a good lad, and rmmeilsnteunut answer. Again he enquired for Crow's Nest Coal. hoy again hoesi- | Toronto.

He wasn't present at the coun- cil meeting last Monday cvening, but he heard about the row for it was the talk of the streets. The town nowspapers, he says, didn't publish all "the dialogue mutterings between Alds. Graham and Chown, The Lamp- man's friend, John Carson, was over- joved to see his enemy getting a call- down - from the Queen's University bursar. The Lampman was told that an oncounter with fists was looked | for by the other aldermen. Then there would have been a regular melee in honor of the approaching St. Patrick's day. After coveral episodes mn the seventics, the Lampman says the ink | wells around the horseshoe wove screwed down, so that they could no longer be hurled at the mayor or al- dermen. Ald. Chown's remark, the Lampman thinke, was very pointed, as it meant that those in glass houscs should net throw sfones. "> "oe o> My altention 'was drawn by th¥ Lampman to an accéunt in the town papers last week, in which it said that the streets committée had held over the town engiicer"s recommenda- tion that building contractors be quired to filo with. him the estimated cost of all work for which they took out permits. What struck hirth for- cibly was that the chivi opponents of the engineer's recommendation were aldermen who are contractors. Are these mon in the town council for their own benefit ? he asks. Why should they display personal bias? he would like to know. The Lampman says he hopes that these contractors will have the good sense next time not to vote on the malitar, 'and follow in the foot- cteps of Ald. Nickle, who refrains from voting on street railway matters when they arc before the council. : --~THE TOWN WATCHMAN. only It all druggists at $1.00 per or b mail . a prepaid, by Rengo Bldg. pany will gladly package free jby mail, them direct to Detroit; al drug stores. sale and recommended Henry Wade, Druggist. 0 ch. 3 a trial il you will wr no free packa Rengo is for Kingston by "FARM HELP If you want Farm Laborers or Do- mestic Servants, communicate with me Desirable immigrants placed.
