making a falling of as compared with

this works no harm, as there is fund Of
nearly 100000 IN the Treasury to meet
this falling off; so there will be no en-
barrassment or trouble whatever.

The picnic has completely usurped the

seeking amusement during the sultry hours.
No place is more popular than the cool glen
known as Hanscom park. Among the lead

the past week was the picnic given by the
ladies of the Ruth Rebekah lodge on Wedncs-
day afternoon and evening. Nearly a hun.
dred ladies, with their friends, congregated
at that place and enjoyed themselves
in various ways. At 6 p. IN. a
most appetizing lunch was spread
and vanished with surprising quickness.
An orchestra charmed the ear with choice
selections throughout the afternoon, and in
the evening furnished music for dancing,
%prolonging the pleasures until nearly MD

On Thursday a most pleasant and success.
full picnic under the auspices of the church OF
the Latter-day Saints was held in the park,
and old as well as young throughout enjoyed
the brief emancipation from heat and dust.
A similar feature was enjoyed by the chill
dreu of the Sabbath school of the Temple OF
Israel the same afternoon. The neatly
dressed children playing here and there ON
the grass, presented a most charming specta'
Gle. A few recltations and songs varied the
exercises. A number of other social gather
ings of a minor character have also been held
at the park.

antly spent. Mr., Green is a great-hearted
young attorney who makes warm friends of
all his acquaintances. He has been in

character as well as speech, gives him great
power over a jury and he is peculiarly sue

victory as a pleader was when he won the
charming Miss Foley who comes from one of
the leading families of st. Joe. Like her

WHY She Gave Him Up.

1t was at Harvard class day, and as
she had a ravishing gown she was in a
blissful frame Of mind. Besides, she
was as good as engaged to Tom Burns,
to whose spread she merrily wendell
her way, properly attended by a chap
erone who knew how to keep discreetly
out of sight.
But fate was unklnd to her. She had
hardly set her foot inside of Toms
chambers than the host was introduce
ing her to a man whose face gave her a
dreadful shock.
"You ought to know my cousin, Jack
Harness, "Tom said cordially.
And what punishment could be too
severe for that wretch of a Jack
Harness, who had the cruelty to ~rejoin:
"Oh, we know each other. We were
engaged five years ago while we were
in college; weren't we, Miss Blank?"
But she was a clever girl and a plucky
one. She rallied and answered with no
appearance of confusion:
"Oh, no, Mr.. Harness, not engaged,
You know mamma said that the idea OF
my being engaged before l was fifteen
was absurd, and l said l didn't mind
giving you up if / could have a new sun
shade. 1t was as funny as anything
ever knew"
And so she saved herself, and If she i;
not by this time betrothed to Tom she
certainly deserves to be.
