Tlio earrlor hold In his hand n papor

deep nnd a couple wide. It was wrapped
about with ii kind of yellow paper, bear

Tho box was broken open nt botli ends
nnd insido was un odd-looking arrango

up into n roil nboufas large .around as a

liltto fringes of lnco that showed tho

"Well, I don't know how wo will find

"Might havo this reporter ask all tbo
ladles expecting such n present and not

tho carrier.
And tho ton of tho surtcriiitcndcnt's
scantily-haired head turned just tho

elicited.
So young Indies who think that this
articlo was Intended for their Christmas
present will do well to send their ad

office. "1 counted up this morning," con
tinued Mr. Boll, "and I found that our

"Tho circle so shown is nlnty live feet In
diameter, and there is nil n round It a
roadwav of tliiity feet in width and a
sldowallt of llftcon feet in width. If it is
deemed no money is provided for land
condemnation, this could bo vory readily
put, in without any oxpenso other than
that in changing of curb, eidownlk, otc.
"Tho second plan shows a ciiclo 150
feet in diameter, including a six-foot
sidewalk all nrouud It, with a roadway
of thirty feet and a sidewalk fof llftcon
feet. In order to got a ilrclo of this stro
it is necessary to nequlro tho lnnd shown
on thu plot v, hlcli aggicgates 1,712 squaro

"This property, if condemned bv a Jury,
