A Messengers Crime.


Ever since Commodore YIELDS swell

Ign, last week, there has been certain
amount of GOODNESS in the atmosphere
of the Back bay because certain leading
families We're not invited. OF course
the non-appearance of the dainty lnvi-
tations was looked upon as snub, and
Mrs. Weld has suffered in consequence.
But it was not Mrs Yields fault. The
blame lies with one of the youthful and
almost always alert and ambitious tele-
graph messenger bows. A few days be-
fore the reception lady friend of Mrs
Weld. who knew that the latter had en-
gagged messenger boy that evening te
deliver large number of invitations tC
the Back Bay, happened to see a large
number of what appeared to be letters
in Charles River. The lady was driving
through Beacon Street at the time. Al
ter the reception she heard that soms
had not received their invitations, and
inquiry developed the fact that the
messenger boy, becoming tired and cold
threw the letters into Charles River, not
realizing how much mental suffering
would result from his action. Tha
messenger boy is now seeking another

lowing story: A wealthy landowner of
Violin recently sent his daughter with
her governess to see the Paris exposi-
ton and enjoy herself generally in that
brilliant capital for a while. On their
arrival at Paris the governess took the
young girl to her relatives residence
the relatives being of the lowest class Of
day laborers and living more by petty
theft and burglary than by honest
labor. The young girl was at once put
into a cellar and told that she would be
kept there on next to no food until she
should consent to marry the brother of
her governess, who hoped by this
forced marriage to become prosperous
Violin proprietor. In spite of all per
secution the young girl persisted in her
refusal to crafty the scoundrels. At
last she succeeded in throwing out
address and stamped letter into the
street, where, it seems, some one
picked it up and duly mailed it, for
shortly aiterward her father came to
Paris and delivered the unhappy pris-
oner. The guilty parties have Teen ar

delicate colors should be avoided, as
they will surely stain light carpets.
