For the third time within two months, a fifteen-year-old Brockville lad ran away from his home and came to Kingston, and again he fell into the hands of Rev. A. E. Smart, inspector of the Children's Aid So- ciety, and the police. Rev. Mr. Smart took charge of the boy at the outer station on" Monday night, acting on instructions received from: the lad's parents in Brockville. The youngster had just arrived from ntreal, having ridden all the way ol back of the tender of an en- gine: The bay has been running away from home, and had a mania for travelling at light fare, and does not appear to be méntally respon- sible. He is being held by Rev. Mr. Smart, at the police station, pend- ing the arrival of his father, who will take him home. It will be remembered that just a couple of weeks ago, Police Con- stable Jenkins found the lad on tae street, and at that time He was sent home, but he did not stay there long. He again got the fever to travel and boarded a freight for Montreal." Af- ter taking in the sights there he fell into the hands of the police, and on Saturday morning last he found him= self in the Montreal juvenile police court. A's it was his first 'appears ance, he was allowed to go. Com- ing back he stopped off at Cornwall, but Brockville, his home town, he passed as if it were a mere flag sta- He headed for Kingston. He likes Kingston, and says he wants to gel a job here. The last time the lad wd¥ arrested here he stated that he had secured a position at the cotton mill, and his story was that his mother and sister were both sick and that he wanted te go to work to help keep the family.

And if he does not write a book about his experiences, it will not be for lack of material. One aftefnoon he got off the train at Durham and told the village hack- wan to drive him to the moying pie- ture place as quick as he possibly could, as he only had an hour's time. The driver drove and drove and drove on through the mud; finally he came to the village and stopped; Bob got out, rz "No, no," said the hackman, "this lant the place; this is the post of- ce." : "Where place?" "Two blocks up the street." Bob started to get back into the hack when a man standing near sa : "What place is it you are looking or? "The said Bob. "Well, here." CBob turned to the hackman: "What are you trying to do--kid me, or get a long haul?" "No, no," replied the "hackntan; "you said the moving picture place, and I thought you meant Mr. John- son, the man that keeps the art store; you see, he has taken a new store, and is moving his pictures: to- day, so 1 thought that was what you meant." Another day Bob was at Palmer- ston. He had completed his inspec- tion of the theatre, found it all right, and wished to report his OK. to the mayor. So he asked the theatre pro- prietor where he could find the mayor. "Well, now, I declare," the man- ager-replied, "I don't know whether he is on the water wagon or not, to- day." "I don't care," sald Bob; "I can 'report to him drunk, just as well as if he was sober." 'Oh, I don't mean that," said the manager, "but, you see; three days of the week he drives the water wagon and the other three he drives the garbage, wagon."--New York Star. is the moving picture moving picture theatre," that is right next door STOCK MARKETS p-- F.

Phoight It Could Use "Waterworks Rest Fund, But It Cannot --City Auditor Will Not Authorize Pay- | ments, The Civie Utilities Commission has struck a snag. It is constructing a water main extension in West and Clergy streets; 'and has no money to poy? the cost. The extension will cost over 17,000. The commission assum- od that it could use the $14,000 rest fund of the waterworks department and'add to it part of the profits of this year on the water receipts, How- ever, the city auditor, who is also auditor for the utilities, refuses "to sanciion any payments on account of the extension, as no funds have been provided to meet the cost. Thus the laboringmen are without their pay, and will be for another fgrinight, un- {ess the auditor can see his way clear to stretch 'his conscience. The difficulty was discussed by the City Council on Monday evening. The Utilities Commission asked that the council transfer the $14,000 rest fund | to it for the extension. The majority of the aldermen, however, were in- clined to hesitate. WHy should this rest fund be used for an extension? they argued. An extension should be paid for by debentures. The rest fund was for renewals and the West and Clergy streets main was not a renew al. Future consumers should help pay the cdst and not the people of the mi mediate present. The result was that the matter was referred to the Minance committee and wili_ have to come back to council, which is likely to refuse to part with, the water rest fund, and to order'that' debentures be issued to cover the cost of the extension. Opinion of Mayor Shaw. Mayor Shaw, in speaking to the Whig, this morning, with reference to the above matter, stated that the council should hand over the rest fund to the Utilities Comission and al- low the laying of the main to pro- ceed. It would be very awkward oth- erwise," for it would be necessary to submit a by-law to the people to raise debentures if the rest Amd - wad not given. # His worship thought it hetter to use the $14,000 rest fund, which was firaw- ing only four per cent. in the bank, than to pay out five per cent. on de- bentures. 3 GYPSIES LIKE PITTSBURG And Have Pite hed Their Tents on the Old Camo Ground The gypsies, who were gathered in by police on.
