R utable citizens who are to assemble a'charter intended to elfminate the inconsistericies and limitations of the antiquated instrument under which the city at present is compelled to do business.. Nearly every résident has at orle fime or another encountered something objectionable in.conneetion’ with the operation of this charter. The point"just here is thiat an opportunity is to be given the voters to.bring about a moré up-to-date and saisfactory condition of affairs.. With the pres- ent personnel of the charter commission, represent- ing"in a composite way, as it"does, thé varfous in- terests of “the “city and conimunity, we can be ‘as- will be offered. . * ‘ The. big- thing: the voters myst- make up. their minds to, da.is to take an active fnterest in the char- ter ‘clectioll. Unfortunately, it frequently happens, that because of apathy on the part of the citizens —needed charter changes fail. - Only a fev'days ago an illstration of this took place in §f. Paul,'wHen the proposition to get rid | of ‘the cumbersome, ineffective “commission plan” rule by adopting a charter that would make the mayor a responsible . person of authority was de- feated; because thousands of persons vitally inter: estod”did not: take -enough-interest “in the' proceed: ings to'go to: the polls on ‘election day and. cast & ballot. g i Itiis a good idea, for the voters: here to indicats thelr desires in connection with the ‘writing of the aewcharter, let thelr influence aid in”drafling: the- kind of an instriment that the city~and by city, is o Ty s o 93 B K et AN “EERRER RN cr e TR Ra s TR TN Mrs; hardt entertained a few ridiy evening ldst week.

He carries in his-hand a piece of, cor- rugated iron, shaped-much the same as a jug, the base of which is made of | glags.. This enables him .to see the shells which lie at the bottom of the! river. In his other hand he holds a| wood with iron pincers. On sceing a shell he lifts it with tongs and puts it into-his pocket. Then when he has a good number of shells' he opens them on the river bank to discover if he has had any luck. It; may be that he will find a pear! in the first one he opens, or he may open auany shells without any prize. The same shell may contain more than one pearl. .
