Eyota's Pretty Eamp-tighters..
The-yr:sang wenien• of Eyota, Minn., are
talting care of the street lamps of +hattown.
Each. lamp .has been imnagned t� a young
lady, who keeps it filled with oil, lights it
at -dusk, and gets out Of bed too late in the
morning to extinguish it at dawn. This
arrangement has been btought about by an
anti -liquor crusade. The women wanted
the saloons of Eyota eloged, and . the liquor
mensaidit didn't make an iota of differ-
ence . to them, but they hated to see the
town invested with Ciinmerian gloom every.
night, and this would. be the case if the
_tare= license itioney, was used :for
street lighting, was diverted from the town
treasury. _Thereupon the women said they
would look after the street lamps them-
selves, and they are doing it so -well that
Eyota is a brighter plea() by night now than
it ever was before.
