Thedainty demoiselle fluttered here and there like butterflies, not knowing on which spot to choose and settle.

The window which was particularly beautiful belonged tn a large furnishing house, and was to represent small reception room. The walls were draped in palest rre.ii silk, which, by the way.

If a Lieuten ant is swakened at 3 o'clock in the morning by the smell of smoke and finds his wife and family surrounded by flames he is not sup posed to rescue them until be puts on his uniform, consisting of pants, coat, white shirt and collar and a necktie. If he docs not want to do that it will be necessary for him to run to the first patrol box and wake up- hief Dictsch and asg his permission to rescue his family without having bis uniform on. Home night, when a sqnadof Lieutenants and Sergeant call at the box-office of a thea ter and buy a dozen tickets and walk down the aisle in a body, tbe audience must not think there is an escaped murderer in the house or a desperate rohbery is about to be committed.

Clerk Petsle ladirnant and Eecom-mends Delay of Action. Th Purcbaa iJsld Over Until a Futur Date Other Baetneea, I The rooms of th Board of County Commissioners werecrowded with interested tax-pas ers yesterday morning. The matter relating to the purchase of County records from the Abstract Company was taken up first, Connty Clerk IVoslte was present ith the Board. Ex-Governor Foraker and W. h.

Burnet appeared for the Abstract Company. The Governor prefaced his argument ith the statement that he had heard seversl stories concerning the contemn. ated purchase at the price stated as being nothing more or less than a robbery. He bad lo his entire satislaction investigated these rumors, and hail so far found them to be without any, foundation. The Abstract Company had! XEVKR OrFEXKD TO SELL Copies bf their abstract for less than Sl50.0no.

XopMcr toseli fortC.uUOoilJO.OOObadever been made by the cvitupaiiy. of a letter from Gazzam Gauo which has beeu made PUQlicj he said: "Mr. Gano has asked wbv the original abstracts sre not bought from the company. Evidently Mr. Gano has not read tli statute on this subject.

The law does not authorize the purchase of these records, but copies of them. To buy the unritial abstracts outright wonld cost at lot liX.OJO. The Legislature knew that th) County wonld not be able to do this, and hetije it authorized the purchase of copies of tiiene am also authorized by the Abstract Company to ask that you defer action upon tins matter until you are convinced that there was no previous oflcr to sell for either $37,000 or SG0.0O0. and that the company is trying to rub nobody. Whv.

I heard last night that every clerk and member of your Board was t. receive a brick house and lot if these records are purchased. Such stsries are absurd, and we want time to investigate them and find the malicious liars who started Idem. I think also that if the County Solic itor weald examine the records in possession of the Abstract Company he would withdraw bis protest against their purchase. Solititur Davidson My objection ia not to the records.

I do not believe that the copies of those records a authorized by the special act of the legislature will hold as record in Court. r. For.iker I difler with you. The law says that they shall be records. However.

He wjs very indignant at ttie stones which are in circulation questioning his honesty, he: "I is a shame, a burninz -lianu-. that a man can not hold a public oRice in this city without I aving his honesty attacked. I have lost positions here nnd eis-whore for not using moiiev. As for receiving any thing for advocating hi, purchase, there is not a word oi truth Hi it. I would sooner go down uud juiup into toe river than tali a cent in connection with this affair.

The proposition lor the salt- of these records was made not lo. tne nlone. but to the onimissioiiers. as reuuired bylaw. The matter has worried nie considerably.

I did not wunt to assume the responsibility of fixing the value of these recor Is. and so I named a committee of men of the highest chara-'ter. in order that no question might arise as to their being 1 hen of you, gentlemen, to take no action to-day. but inveatigaie the matter thoroughly." Attorney Burnet then made a briet staieuient in regard to the great number of restorilion case now pending in tt.e oiiris. and ti Increasing need of records for the county.

A. J. Marsh then ak permission to address the lioard. He stated that ho was EMPLOYED II 0K. Yet he wished to enter a protest iiga'nst taxing pioperiy-holders and $10.000 additional for the purchase these gut bied records which the county did not need, lie said a great number of pe fixed np their records after Ihe ourt linnn lire.

Some time ago. when spending my summer holiday at a farm bouse in Surrey i was much amused by seem a little kitten and a large white duck appsrrntly on the moat friendly terms witb one another, says an English writer. The dock was mot attentive to the kitten, and the kitten returned the dock's sfTcction by walking about with tier, and gently purring and rubbing itself against tbe wbits duck. Kvery now and again tbe duck nibble or run its bill ail over the fur of the kitten, which performance kitty enjoyed. It would stand upon its l.iud less and clasp the dunk around ttie neck, as though fondly embracing tne bird.

'1 here were other dncks and fowls about tbe poultry yard, but kittv never cond- seeuded to pay such merged prelerene (or them, but always remained true to its oli lavorite.
