Notable progress is being made on the new pier. The granite bulkhead walls are going up rapidly.

These extend 50 feet out on each side of the filled area, giving & total width of 200 feet. A total of 2,250 piles” will be required and of this number nearly 700 have been driven up to the present time. New Cottage. James N. Elliott is building a new cottage house in Raymond street.” Y .M. C. A, Building. The Y. M. C, A .building for which $108,000 was recently rais is_to be erected on the lot at the junctiom“of Meridian amd Chureh streets. This property was ‘purchased several months ago by the association for the sum of $15,000, No plans for the new building have | yet been drawn nor hag an architect been selected. There is a strong pub- lic sentiment to the effect that the plans should be selected by competi- tion, thus giving local architects an opportunity to submit their designs. ‘Chairman George S, Palmer é6f the building committee states that the construction of the duilding would be begun as soon as plans were decided upon. 7/ Many clitizens favored the placing of the building in a location where it would aid to the appearance of the city from an architectural standpoint by being on a more traveled thorough- fare, but this point was outweighed in the minds of the committee by other advantages Which they believed the Meridian street property possessed. has character to it. peals to and pleases these strong character.

This was because he had come to Tamarack inn to exercise his fishing pole, not his imagination. It was a steady, whole hearted fall rain that was not to be trified with, how- ever, and Creamer idied around the quaint old office disconsolately till he saw the shelves. Dimnock, the pro- prietor, had filled them with an assort- ment of junk. There were revolvers falling to pieces, catridges, pileces of ore, straps from saddles—a con- glomeration of stuff. Grinning, Cream- er set to work. Dimnock, when the’ rejuvenated shelves buret upon him an hour or two later, opened and shut his mouth like one of Creamer’s fish. “This is just what you need, old man,” explained that youth, soothing- ly. “Tt gives tone to the place. you'd put glass doors in front of 'em you could raise the price of board. Let me call your attention to this revolver. You see the label reads: ‘Purchased by Mr. Dimnock from the heirs of Gen, Witt, who fell at Bull run. Over thirty men are supposed to have fallen under its fire—" “That's the cook's old gun!” gasped Dimnock. “You're mistaken,” said Creamer, firmly. *“And the label on this cart- ridge belt says that it was picked up on a bhattle field in the Philippines. This ore came from South Africa from 2 mine that the Boers later blew up. Behold a part of Gen. Custer's saddle! Here is a bowie knife that belonged to Daniel Boone—" “We clean filsh with it! “Shocking!” reproved Creamer. “Not now—it’s too valuable. “Ha, ha!” TDburst out hat’s mine. I got it at the corners.” “Forget it,” advised Creamer. ou've no idea how this will please you trons next summer—Iet it alone, now That was last season. Creamer went up to Tamarack inn this spring and Dimnock fell upon him on his arrival. “They stand in front of those &helves” he expostulated, “and they say: ‘Oh, mah-ma! Just see heah! Isn't it in- t'resting!” And then they come and ask me foolish questions that I den't know the answers to! I'm crazy! Now you tend to it if you think it's so funny!” At first Creamer had the pleasantest time of his explanation of Gen. Witt's revolver, And the tales he rippled forth as to the fad of their host in S5 ¢ AN ST DN, 8 SN N 15 o Bl T T B b A SR AR, At W FE A B S s W DAINMIR W 38 L2, BRI s el miniibr bt >l b San WS collecting relics of war and the chase caused that gentleman to sp in wonder and bewilderment. imnock almost began to believe that he had done it, ‘while' Creamer’'s proprietary interest in the curio shelves waxed stronger with each invention. He salved his conscience by th thought that if it made people hap, to gaze at relics with labels on t! at relics without them neo harm was done Newcomers were led by the older residents at the inn to the sheives to be impressed properly. Somehow it made them better satisfled ith themselves to think they were paying board to a man who had known so many wonderful people, if only by Proxy.

Instantly it seemed to Creamer that life would not be worth living if he dld not convince this feminine skeptic | of the genuinness of the relics. He had made those relics and he resented slurs upon them. He pursued Mi Motts with stories about Dimnock' relica, wiich he related in a thrilling | voice and with much patriotic emotion, | “This Danjel Boone - thing,” Miss Motts drawled one day, turning over the bowie knife, “happens to be dated !

And everybody has en- Joyed it so! ¥ suppose, though, you— you'll have no use for me now. You'll never believe a word I may say! And 1 wanted to tell you—" “Tommy,” said Miss Mott, a little confusedly under his gaze, “to tell the truth, I was afrald you never would have anything to tell me wuniess I steered you off the subject of Dim- nock’s relics! That's all you've talk- ed about for ages! “I'm kind of tired of 'em myself!” confessed Creamer, jubilantly. “Now, if you'll come with me for a walk I have a brand ef real conversation I'm simply aching to let loose!"—Chicago News.
