The stories, were to the effect that the three ia|bove named had 'entered kito a" conspiracy ;by which' Mr. -Yarwood was 'enabled to secure the position of, clerk, the reeve and Councillor McKenzie a- greeing to pay him the difference- between his former salary and the amount ol hiis tender put of their own- pockets. ��������� Messrs. J. H. Starr,-Jay Starr, F. Munroe and J. L. Atkinson whose n mes h jd been mnind with-rc- gard to circulating the stories had. been requested to be present. Mr. F.

Ex-Reeve Atkinson, who ' was present stated that public officials must expect to be criticised and he did not see that the council or clerk had anjihng to complain of.

The name of the new proprietor is Mr. S Brooke who will take possession at an early date. ���������LI THE MARKET. New Westminster, March 3.���������The market this morning was the best and busiest-of the year, the continued warm weather and improved travelling conditions being the reason. The spring weather has brought out a ��������� large number of visitors as well as the regular buyers and- sellers, who came to the market in force. The arrival of the. Huntingdon local was an usually interesting event .over 100 persons arriving on the electric train, as well as a large quantity of produce. The unloading of the freight was facilitated by the use of two new trucks purchased by the city and used for the first time More meat was offered on the market than at any time this season, and" buying w.as brisk, the buyers being willing totake all that offered and more had it been obtainable. There was no mutton or.lamb offered, the season being yet too early. Beef while a fair supply, was not sufficient to meet the requirements and the price per carcass advanced 'slightly.'. The buyers say that there is little beef in the country to bring in. Veal and pork .was plentiful, the veaf season having now'arrived. The egg market is still going down as the quantity of eggs a- vailaiblje becomes greater week by w/eek.. Last week the retail market closed at 40c, to-day none of the vendors obtained over 35c, and the wholesale sellers obtained only 25c a dozen for their produce. ��������� All were*disposed of at quotations In the poultry section, conditions remained much the same as-at the close of last week's market. Prices continued - firm, and the dema'nd was good. On account of ihe high, figures asked, however, many prospective, buyers decided to postpone their purchasing fur a time Thi'a aided by the fact that 'the supply was fairly good had the effect of preventing any tendency to jump prices and the market finally closed in the same positi in as &t the opening. Although the. buying was a little slower, the en- tirel offerings were* finally taken There; was a larger variety of fish oh the irtrarket than .it any previous time this year. ��������� There' was a medium' supply of ��������� . ,-pota toes, ..all ^of^h^h^er.e.iBpld; By- the tori'they realized from' $30 to $32, som'e of which were Bold but not obtaining ai dollar more. By the sack the potatoes, fetched $1.75 A small supply of turnips and ca-r-' rots for table use was' offered, ' The demand for apples is increas ing with the 'spring weather ������.nd the small supply offered is having a- tendency to raise the price. No 2 grade apples to-day sold ac 25c a box more than the same grade of fruit last,week. There is only a small quantity of fruit left on the farms according to the growers and the pricej.is expected by them to improve until the new fruit arrives.

Last yeaT i,t was one of tion'for'each individual institution th^ finest lawns ,along Lhe C. P. R. These would be worn all the time and would ericour.ageTads and lass es to take fapri.de in. their "school and in all that pertains thereto. Already school colors have been chosen for use 'in connection with ��������� ho athletic games and sports, and the adoption' of ia cap would be simply" an .auxiliary (to this. "Naturally it would not be possible to make the use of the school cap .compulsory as ,i,s done in the private schools. This .would .not be necessary. Once the oa^p was adopted and placed! on sale in the , city shops, practically -all would purchase, them. There may, perhaps, be one or two who would rather, not be identified with the public 'Schools and )even these wbii-d,, we think,-jcome to look up-' on the school cap aa an eanhlem, in .which they would: take /pride. As they would be used in such latrge number^ they would .be just as cheap as are any', other variety o/ head-gear which<may be worn. We" are pleased, to pass this suggest- ��������� ion on with our endorsement, for we are thorough believers in jjub- lie scnools of the country, and [anything that can 'be done to improve, them and to help the pupils to ��������� take a pride fn them we consider worthy of serious consideration.

How perfectit was to bo I Troubles? Yes of course. Troublco came to everybody but with.such . sympathy and understanding as they gave to each other, troubles wmild be easily met and borne. There was nothing, not a cloud,' not a mote to, mar the fair fahric of their future. The last vestige of disquiet fled while; Belle, again his old S;lf, sat on the stops leading to him. While he listened he pulled yellow and white honeysuckles from ah old trellis and/ strung them on green, stems, fastening them at.last in her hair and in iand out among the lace of her dress. v- "We'll be very happy, Belie," he- smr'led, holding her off, admiring ly when he had finished and Belle rawed twitching lips and full eyes to say, q uite steadily, "Yes, dear" Kent's eyes were moist jtoo, from very happiness, and after that there were no more prickings and .������mges. ,* There was no tunc indeed for anything except merriment. Ideal weather made rowing and fishing and all kinds of picknicking posB- :ble, and somehow it happened that with Belle and Apker's pairing Trixy fell to him. That was at first. Afi(jer,w,ard he sought her, forgettingto take stock of Belle's doings.' He was acknowledging to himself that last evening of the house party, lying full length in the grass at the edge of the water in a great sweep of sunset beauty Just such another glow, he was thinking had colored all things for him. Fibers of his inmost self, it seemed, had been touched to life by Trixy's appealing ways and pretty helplessness. > He was conscious of a tenderness,' a warmth of protective feeling that had never gone out to Belle, his chum, his brain's compan ion. NNature he argued solved hard problems, usually, too,, to everybody's satisfaction. Perhaps nature was wiser than even the. wis- yank the teeth out of his head if he makes a motion or step that, does not suit. you.

What is good for horse must be good for man, THE GROUND FLOOR Once upon a tijm'e, as the story goes (a ,fopc and ay ,'ground hog went for a walk and their talk ultimately drifting on to the subject of the various schemes which even in that day were being presented to a credulous public by which they might Get-Rich Quick; the fox, recognizing U14 increasing interest of the groundhog on the /subject, remarked;- est of mortals.
