The correspondent of the Republican girded un his armor In Monday'- paper and savagely attacked the board of trade because the proper amount of grading had not been done at the site of the proposed Forest City Car shops. Now, the fact of the mutter Is the buurd of itrude, or "orgawjlzatlon," as he chooses to cull It, Is not a chartered concern, und therefore can not, at u body, promise anything. A ifew of Its enterprising members generously of fered to secure subscriptions from the people of the town to grade the site, and they fpent considerable of their own valuable time freely and succeeded In getting over tl,100 In work and money pledged. Jf tlnwe who .promised to give money or perform a certain amount of laljor have not yet done so, e anyone Justly say that It Is the fault of the board of trade or ll members? The chief officers aind stockholders of the Forest City Car company belong to the board of trade and, did they all attend the meetings, would comprise a quorum for doing business alone. Doesn't the correspondent reflect on them also when he says the board is "too slow?" Now, we will suggest to the Republican man that lie Join the "organization" and teach it how to compel people to fulfil their pledges when they are Indisposed to do so. He will be received with out stretched arms and a sigh of relief If he will use only a little of his surplus knowledge and time In teaching the board how to go "fat." The 'members are yearning for Instruction and realize that he Is the only person that ca.n give It to them, and In the Interest of prog ress we beg of him to yank forth the nectwsary recipe for fast and effective work. If he doesn't choose to do that, we would advise him to stop making a Don Quixote of himself.

Brown has the reputation of being one of the moBt miserly of men. but he plumes himself on his Inexorable sense of Justice. For 'fifteen years he owed a dentist $22 for filling a front tooth with gold, refusing to pay It because he snld the bill was exorbitant. The other day the filling came out. He took the gold to a Jewelry store and had It assessed Then lie wrote to the dentist and In closed a check for his account, based on the following computation: "Aetna value of the gold, $:i.G0; amount of lu bur (which I deem llberul), 5; for use of the tooth fifteen years, $5; total J 13.60. I return gold on account and In close check for the balance of $10.'"' -This Is thought to stand as an ex ample of unparalleled meanness. Solatle Rheumatism Cured. L.
