brightest and most charming of our
Toledo bellies was on Il visit to Il young
lady friend in La Porte, Indiana, Il short
time ago, and one night during her stay
the hotel at which the family were stop
ping caught fire. The Toledo Miss,
awakened from her sweet slumber by
the alarm, give one pretty little shrek
and rushed down stairs in charming
deShaJile. Arriving in the office, she
collected herself sufficiently to recog-
nize that her costume was not just the
thing for a mixed assembly, and she
sent q maid back after some more suit
able clothing. The girl herself was
terribly scared and made the trip to the
room in all possible haste, and return
ing brought Il pair of shoes. These,

lady's person, and the maid was again
sent back. When she returned again

A FEW years ago, there resided at the
Mission San Jose, in Alameda County,
California, two young ladies, between
whom, though not of kin, Il strong
friendship existed. They were married
at the same time and by the same SER
vice. They then took up their resi-
dences, n at Heywards and the other
at Alvarado. In the course of time, they
gave birth to children on the same day,
the birth of n child preceding that of
the other by two hours. Three weeks
later, both children died on the same
day, the elder dying just two hours be-
fore the other. Three weeks after the
death of the children, both mothers died
on the same day.
