CAN BE HOT EH WASHINGTON
Hot Enough in Fact to Lost Your
Heels Over it.
"Oh yes, it's warm," said the man
•with the suit case, "but 1 don't no-
tice any one losing their heels over
it."
"His head I suppose you mean."
'•Well, suppose you supjwse once
more then. I said his heels and his
heels was what I meant. I'm just
from Washington and 1 know what
J am talking about.
"1 was standing at the door of the
hotel on Pennsylvania avenue about
3 o'clock one sizzling afternoon when
1 saw a young woman stop short out
in the middle of the street and began
to hop around on one foot in the most
extraordinary manner,
"She was ir ighty conspicuous out
in the simmering expanse or asphalt
and I started to the resc.ue. I didn't
know what was the matter, but it
did seem that when a lady stopped
and did fancy steps in the hottest
spot to Washington it was a plain
tarry up call of some sort.
"As 1 hotfooted to the rescue—
and you can bet it was hotfooting all
right, all right!—I spied the young
t woman's shoe sitting up all by itself
and looking like empty is the cradle
baby's gone.
"I thought it was just a case of a
dropped pump, and was going to hike
back to the shade, where the ther-
mometer was below a hundred at any
rate, when the girl made a dab at her
shoe with her stockinged foot and
then began to do more fancy steps.
"What do you suppose was the
matter? You're so fond of supposing
you might try a guess. Give It up?
Well the asphalt was so h<$ that it
was about like boiled down molasses
candy for sickness. The heel of
t the girl's shoe had gone through the
crust and there if stuck.
"She'd slip her foot into the shoe
and try to lift it out that way; but
nay, nay, nay, Pauline, the asphait
just boiled down a little tighter.
Finally she took hold with both hands
and gave that shoe a yank which
fetched it, but it never fazed the grip
the asphait had. She got her shoe,!
but the heel stayed behind, and she
went off with a three inch limp that
was heartrendering.
"That's what T mean by losing your
heel over the beat. 1 was telling a
Washington man about the shoe in-
cident and he said pshaw: that was
nothing.
He said that a'few yeas ago folks
down there got to talking about the
> facilities for enjoying a hot time in
Washington, and just to show what
could be done some one fried eggs
„on one of the iron plates which a-
bounded along the car tracks,.i
"I believe it took a half ah hour to
finish the frying, but from my experi-
should aay if that were tru?
the man wasted his eggs fried on
fcoth sides and very hard, I don't
know but we In New York could sup-
ply sun fried egg* ourselves, but I
don't happen to have seen it tried
here.
"1 think that man had a well stored
memory anyway He was telling
how damp it gets in Washington
sometimes, and he said that he knew
a lady who shut up her apartment
for the summer and when she came
back she found mushrooms growing
in one of the cupboards."
"Down cellar, I suppose?"
"Say you make me think of an old
woman who used to delight in telling
me what an awful poor sueeeas' her
son was at farming You know It
strikes me that this supposing busi-
ness can t really be your strong point.
;When you talk about down cellar
for instance—"
fc Oh. Well; the basement then!"
' "Basement nothing! It Was on the
SiSta floor. Mushrooms in the cup-
jboard and long whiskers on the gas
tuba for the drop light in the dining
mm. Sore, whiskers of mojd >w© or
three inches long
"But the mushrooms were what
icaught my fancy Those and the
^firted egg», If I was going to try
Tocr favorite stunt of supposing, I
WtaM suppose that a climate which
VMM trf eggs in the sun and would
grow whiskers on the gas tubes and
: Bathrooms in the cupboards was a
•#«* enough wonder. And I guess

A favorite time for porch climbers is
when the family is all down stairs

why the home of poets always is safe.
Can't a woman be exasperating
when she tells you, mildly, but in an
insinuating manner, that you loft the
electric light burning in the basement
all night? And have you noticed
how emphatically she adds: "We will
have a nice electric light bill this
month?"
The young woman who lets a man
have just a wee little corner of her
heart is apt to discover that the man's
back is an awfully nice place to warm
her feet on cold nights.
It seems a shame to waste beauti-
ful clothes and diamonds on a woman
who says "them oysters."
It is funny how quickly a bluffer will
wilt when you call his bluff.
A Cleveland preacher wants young
men to look into the garbage can be-
fore asking a girl to marry them.
Yes. do it, boys, and be bitten by the
bull dog. Darn a preacher's advice
anyhow!
An Iowa editor says it Is shocking,
the number of people who want to
talk only about their own affairs. A
safe rule is to have nothing to do with
a man who won't let you talk about
yourself at least half the time.
The trouble with most men who
are reformed by marriage is that they
don't stay reformed, although they
generally stay married.
When a man reaches the point
where he doesn't like to hear other
men swear, although be makes a slip
into blasphemy himaelf occasionally,
there is still hope that he will be a
real gentleman himself, some day.
For some time I have been taking
lunch with the editor of a pure food
journal, but I've quit Every time I
started to order my food, this indomi-
table friend would piously assure me
that the particular dish I was about
to .have placed before me contained
formaldehyde as a preservative. When
I suggested something else, he would
invariably impart the information that
my second choice had salicylic acid in
it My third suggestion was vetoed
because of too much saccharine adul-
teration. By this time, I usually sub-
sided and meekly told the waiter to
make it two. About the time that I
threatened to collapse from starvation
and apprehension, my friend moved to
another city and confidence is again
restored. Where ignorance is bliss, it
is folly to go hungry.
SEQUENCE IN THE CLAIMS
FOB BACK FEES

wrong.' You should "do for all alike.
I shall oppose "special privileges" aa
far as I can with all my power. Le-
gislation of this kind In the days of
Carpetbag government in this State
was called "Back Salary Grab" and
I believe the citizens of Temple will
so regard this case of favoritism
should the amounts be paid Messrs.
Hamill and Smith.
1 do not wish to charge anyone
with wrong Intent, but I do think tht
claimants and the generous ex-city
attorney acted well their part for
the financial interest of claimants,
but unwisely, to file the claims, and
the council set a bad precedent in
voting to allow these claims. and
specially so to the extent of raising
the bar of limitation. These claims.
I think, are unjust and unfair to
Temple, and I am willing to test the
city's rights in the same in the
courts of our country, or by the
voters of the city of Temple, and I
feel sure the generous ex-clty attor-
ney will fail In nerve to make a legal
test, and I doubt if he will represent
the claimants in a trial court in this
cause. I may add that the clalmanta
Messrs. Hamill and Smith, are estop-
ped by their own acts—not claiming
this "back fee" which some of the
council said was the misfortune of
previous officials, not asking for it.
Not asking for It means legally, es-
toppel. "A man shall always be es-
topped by his own deed or not per-
mitted to aver, or prove anything in
contradiction to what he has once
passed by."
You may pass this over my objec-
tion: but that will not relieve this
council of squandering the tax pay-
ers' money, for unjust, unfair and
trumped up claims, which in my op-
inion, are legally and morally not
right. The payment of same will be
a stain on your records, of which
the entire citizenship will, on due
reflection, be ashamed.
When I asked for the votes of my
fellow citizens I promised to guard
the city's interest as if my own, and
better, if possible, and that I will
do with every factulty of being.
With this veto of your action to
raise instead of lowering the taxes
of Temple, I put myself on record
with this council and with the tax
payers of Temple. «

Back Talk.
My wife says I remind her In the
morning, of Nero who wen' up and
down Greece challenging ♦'»« fiddlers
at their trade. She sa;.» she never
has known anybody that can fiddle
around longer at dressing than I. And,
according to her, I am always late for
breakfast and have to gulp down my
coffee in a most unseemly manner,
grab a doughnut and run for the train.
You see. my wife isn't wise to the fun
1 get out of making a pool with my-
self every morning as to whether I
will, or will not. get that train. The
uncertainty sort of puts ginger into
me, prepares me for the sterner du-
ties of wrestling dovm town and re-
duces my fat—only it is bard to run
and reduce fat when you are trying to
choke down a doughnut, button youi
overcoat and clean your fingernails all
at the same time. I suppose I will
have to get op earlier, to keep peace
in the family, but 1 am sure it will
take away half the pleasure of the
morning to plod along patiently
toward the station, wondering how
long I will have to wait on the depot
platform before the train arrives. My
ideas of heaven are based on the be-
lief that a man can sit up at night
and read aa long as he wants to and
not get up in the morning until he
gets good and ready
It should be every man's desire'to
be of practical use in the world. One
way to start Is to clear your sidewalk
of snow. "Do it now!"

employment hath the daintier sense,"

and the balance in favor of Mr.
Smith is about $315.00. The pres-
ent city attorney, Mr. Leitly, and
the writer together pay to the city
about $1^0.00 but we get nothing
back, thui leaving the city behind lu
the entire transaction to date about
1124.00 instead of $649.94. I have
not the reports of the committee be-
fore me. but the estimate of $124.00
will not miss it more than two or
three dollars, if that much, as the
matter stands, and the city has not
set up limitation either.
It is conceded that in many cases
It Is proper for a city to plead limi-
tation; but the claims of these gen-
tlemen are vastly different from that
of a man who breaks his leg on a
defective sidewalk and, knowing
every day that be has a damage claim
waits for three years to bring It.

But for the fact that the Honor-
able Mayor has caused to be publish-
ed in this issue his veto message in
which I am criticised for represent-
ing free of charge ex-Mayor Hamill
and Marshal Smith in certain claims
against the city, and the further fact
that the people may get the idea from
the message that these gentlemen
are unjustly getting from the city
the amount of $649.94 and that the
city loses that amount in the tran-
saction. 1 would offer no reply. True,
the Mayor says: "I do not wish to
charge anyone with Wrong intent;"
but the writer thinks'his opinion in
face of the facts is rather harsh.
Or is it a case of the opinion of one
juror against the eleven?
I suppose that all lawyers at times
represent certain individuals or in-
terests without pay. The writer has
represented without charge lodges,
churches and other associations in
Temple. So have other lawyers.
Lawyers often represent each other
without charge. Recently I perform-
ed a professional service for a coun-
ty official who is a lawyer and made
no charge. I charged the city no
fee for getting out the $25,000.00
school bond Issue, While I was city
attorney at the time, I wa3 entitled
to a fee under the law and the coun-
cil offered to pay any reasonable fee
that I would name and I declined it.
Even during this week. I was request-
ed to give a committee from the city
council an opinion touching that fea-
ture Of the proposed tax levy relat-
ing to the sinking fund for school
bonds. Neither the committee nor
the city thought of paying me one
cent, nor did I expect any compensa-
tion. Messrs. Hamill, Smith and the
writer were officials together for a
few years. When they decided to
present the claims against the city,
there was nothing strange in my ap-
pearing for them. Nothing was said
about a fee. Because of our past of-
ficial relationship, I thought of mak-
ing no charge in a matter touching
their official relationship with the
city. When it was wondered how
much of the amount I might get, if
successful, I promptly stated to the
council that I would not get one dol-
lar of the amount and was not receiv-
ing and would not receive a fee. At
the time I thought the service was
a small one and just a pleasant re-
creation. Subsequent developments
showed I had matched a scrap I
wg* not looking for. The Attorney
General was ape pa led to and his de-
partment sustained my contention
on all points. Then the ai jermen
who had stood against the claims
followed the Attorney General, whose
advice was in favor of the claims on
all contested points. He further ad-
vised that It was not the duty of
the city to'plead limitation. He held
that it could do so or not at Its pleas-
ure. The six aldermen voted against
pleading limitation against the
claima of these men, taking the posi-
tion that If the city exacted of them
the money they owed the city, then
the city should pay them the amount
of their claims. That Is, they voted
In favor of Ae city collecting its
claims against them aad paying its
debts to them.
