drops a piece of meat, no matter
how clean the floor may be, ho will
either give It a kick or pick It up

difference how dirty the spot where
it fell, he will pick it up and give it
a careless swipe on his coat sleeve
or on the bosom of his pants and
then take a chew with greater rel
ish than ever.

ties that bituminous pavement, su
perior to the ordinary asphalt, may
be laid In cities, suburban districts
and towns at from $1,15 to ll.CO

of, pavements cost nearly double
this amount. There are lots of

one, to get an invitation to a party,
travel about three miles, reach the
house you think you are looking for,
gain admittance, take off hat and
coat, walk Into the parlor and sit
there for one or more hours only to
