After charging that both the speak- | easy and place for selling equipment | are within the territory covered by the | association, Miss Reiss was authorized to conduct a further investigation with | other members of her committee and report at a future meeting. | A resolution was adopted favoring the placing of & matron at each ele- mentary school, following the reading | of a communication on the subject| from the Forest Hills Citizens’ Associa- tion.

To this condoling friend he had imparted his grievances, and on him alone he depended for execu- tion of the project proj for re- dress. (For playing a trick upon Mr. Snarle, Ned had received chastisement both from Mr. Snarle and Mr. Fenton.) On a certain moonless night they | mustered four tame cats and, having bound some inflammable fuse around three or four inches of the extremity of each of their tails, they lodged them together in a bag, and, somewhat after suppertime, when all the town was silent, they marched softly and cautiously to the house of Mr. Snarle. There Ned's friend, with his knife, dex- terously Plcked away the putty from a pane of the window of a side cham- ber, where no light appeared. Having | put fire to the fuse of each tail suc- cessively, they slipped their cats, one by one, in at the window. Again having pegged the pane into its place, they withdrew to a little distance to watch the issue. The poor cats remained silent and | | universally inoffensive while they felt | no damage.
