Yea or No, and I trU'Jt I am not intiiiding on the bn."ineHS coiutcsy of the i/iuucil when I ask for a reply at once. I may say that being interviewed by representatives of ths National Council ditl'ercnt plans were suggested f^r the raiding ot the money. First was the sugcestion to hold largo ijijss iDeeliug.s throughout the County and circulate suUscription.s, which would 7jiean largo expense and a great deal of wjrk and the but den would fall princi- pilly on willing hands. Second was the proposition to wi»it on the Local Municipal Cjuncilp and raise the money in that way, but the propo- sition that met with most fnvor was that the C-junly Council should undertake the payment of the full amount ri(|uirtd, thus doing away with the campaign and consolidating the wlmle uroposition. Of course if J do not got a favorable rep'y the campaign will go on as .\dvertised for ettir, c 'ursj realized tim il was an irregular and perhaps an imprcpt-r way of doing county business, but I felt that the im- portance of the proposition was sutlicient to jusitify the mea.is which were being adopted. The money, I felt, must be raised, and in adopting this means it saved an im' m/nsB lot of organizing work, etc., and I WHS contide.it the rfcspoii.'-e from tl'.e nii'iiibers of the (,'ouucil would tie favor able. The result wa« that out of 07 replies 3i' were answered in the afliriiia- tive and three .somewhat in'Jetinite, although htronaly patriotic in their e.x- pressions. It just iiiean.s that when we meetin.lune the Council will unani- mously levy -^ of a mill for the above purpose, and thus the campaign for Y. M.CA, overseas work is for the present, at least, successfully ended. I am send- ing this letter to each of the papers throughout the county so thit each member ( f the County Council, and all others, will kcow the result, and I take this means of expressing my heariy thanks for the favorable response.

Lately, however, the original owner learned that his neighbor had bought a new mare from a Clill'ord ' 'i - buyer, and i:n looking ttiu aiiimiil over he \iy was thunderstruck to recognize il as the vicious colt he had ^aisod. After peeing the mare pciform when h. tolled 'ip in the wagon ho needed no more evidence of the fact. The Clifl'ord dealer was at once .communicated wi.li and he did the honorable thing by returning the money, and takiiii4 the niaro buck. The next previous owner, however, dit' not care to do business in the same way, and whi-n the animal was returned to his home near Moltke last Tluir.sday he at ouce chased her off the premises, and the undesirable is now a houieles) wanderer. .â- V lawsuit is inevitable.
