4. bod bright idea the other oay
and want to pass it along as we 90
the dishes at the table. I had been
reading about a postal autograph al
bum, composed Of many postal cards
from different parts Of the country,
each having a sentiment and tie
name and address o! tho sender writ
ten upon it, and all made into little
book with tinted cardboard covers, by
means OF narrow ribbon. And I
thought, why wouldn't it be nice to
have postal missionf That is, when
we know Of some one who is in special
trouble or sick, or is an invalid, we
might write tho sweetest and most
healthful sentiment, either prose or
poetry, that we chance to know, per-
haps accompanied by Bible text, on
postal card and send it to the afflicted
one. We all know how eagerly we
look for Q message from some one
through the postofhce and how pleased
we are when one comes, so think we
may be able to give much pleasure in
this thoughtful and inexpensive way.
myself am an invalid and know just
how a sweet verse of poetry, coming
as the kindly thought Of a friend, can
help one and make dark day bright.

For every effort you make to give
others pleasure, you yourself will re-
ceive an equivalent For every cents

ELIZABETH On. j., July 20.-On June
18th Martha Ann Bogart, aged 20 years,
died at her home, 1919 Magnolia avenue,
this city. About week ago her husband
was surprised on looking over her personal
effects to come across a dilapidated hand
bag in which, on being opened, was found
stuffed large number Of small tobacco
pouches. On opening them they were
found to be filled with rolls of bank bills of
various denominations, and with silver
coin. Bogart, who was the woman's second
husband, was cute enough to only let
couple of persons into the secret, as Mrs.
Bogart had hers-atlaw, and having died
without making will he was afraid they
might claim the treasure. He quickly DIS
posed Of all the household effects and
started few days ago for Oregon, where
he has brother living. Since his depart
ure the story has leaked out, and the heirs
are indignant to think that the treasure has
slipped from their clutches.
Those to whom Bogart confided his dis
covery, and who bad seen the money
counted by him, say there was over $1,000
in the old satchel. Mrs. Bogart, during her
lifetime, was noted for her misery pro-
pensities. 1t is said Of her that she even
used to split lucfer matches in quarters to
make them last longer.-St. Louis Globe
