A Sheep'* Legs.
A nobleman against whom Insanity
whs imputed by his relatives was ask
ed during tile examination by Lord
Loughborough, "How many legs has a
sheep?"
"Does your lordship mean a live or
dead sheep?" asked the nobleman.
"Is it not the same thing?" euid the
chancellor.
"No, my lord; there is much differ
ent*». A ltvo sheep has four legs; a
dead sheep hats but two. The others
are shoulders."
RISE WITH THE CHANGE.
We are naturally and justly sad
when we think of this world as a
place of change, but there is a
point of view from which it appears
a matter of rejoicing that it is so. It
is a place of trial and probation, in
which the condition of no one is
fixed, but a boundless possibility of
change for the better is open to
every one.—Hugh Macmillan.
NEW RULE IN
ι JERSEY CITY
Commission Assume» Con
trol of the Government.
Jersey City, N. J., June 18.—One hun
dred and twenty-live city officials,
headed by Mayor H. Otto Wlttpenn,
walked out yesterday, and the five men
who are to run the city under the com
mission plan for the next four years
unless they are recalled walked in.
I Jersey City Is the second largest city
in New Jersey and the biggest city iu
the east to adopt the popular western
method of municipal government
There was only one member of ex
Mayor Wittpenn's official family who
I refused to walk the plank. He was
; City Treasurer Carl O. A. Schumann,
' one of the defeated candidates for
membership in the board. He said he
had been advised that commission gov
ernment had not been adopted legally.
Therefore he Intends to stick on the
job until the courts decide that he is
not the lawful custodian of the city's
moneys.
Never before In the history of Jersey
City were so many perspiring taxpay
ers, place hunters and civic prlders
jammed in the assembly chamber.
They filled every spot In the big hall
not occupied by floral tributes from po
litical clubs to the flushed and happy
commissioners. They stood on seats
and one another's toes in the highly
perfumed air until their collare wilted
and their shirt fronts collapsed.
The commissioners were sworn in by
City Clerk John H. Morris, and Mark
M. Fagan was elected "mayor" by the,
votes of his Democratic colleagues, j
Ex-City Clerk Michael I. Fageii. a
Democrat, who was ousted by the i
board of aldermen at the instance of |
Wlttpenn In January, 1912, was elected,
city clerk by a unanimous vote.
An ordinance was Introduced by
Hague fixing the salaries of the mayor
at $5,500 and of the commissioners at
$G,000. I
