an hour to see George w. DalZell, Chairman
of the Dalzell Campaign Committee" said
he.
There was a stream filing in and out of
the Collectors office all afternoon, and the
Robinson forces wore broad smiles upon
their faces. They poked each ether in the
ribs, and mutually laughed at something
imaginary that one could only guess at. 1t
was hearty laugh, and ghoulish and cruel.
Are all your men provided with trans
portation?h asked DISPATCH reporter.
"Well, l should say so. If you know any
of Dalzells people who have to walk let us
know and we will take 'em down on our
train.n
They were exceedingly jolly and generous.
The Collector denied that clubs had been
organized by the Robin son people since
September l, and believed that ali clubs or
ganized before that time would be ad-
mitted.
The Dalzell headquarters have been strict

superintendent of City Water Assessments,

mir Miller is not in was the usual reply.
''When will he return?" the caller would
ask.
Cant tell; he may come in in five min
utes, and it may be an hour before he shows
up"
but came in at4 O'Clock, finding an office
full of people and peck of cards. The ele-
vator boy insisted he would resign "if this
fool campaign lasts another day"

A stack of kilograms as thick as a diction-
ary was piled upon Mr.. Miller's desk, and
boys were continually coming and going.

lludn from Swedell.


Hilda was honest, Hilda was faith
full, Hilda was thrifty, but above all,
Hilda was conservative.
She had s'bccn over long enough to
become quite Amcricanized, but she
still wOrc her funny knitted jacket
and short hOme-spun petticOat and
stout Swedish boots, while Maria next
door. who had come Over at the same
time, had long since gotten into
braided Jerseys, drapcd skirts, with
bustlcs and American shoes Of shOddy
leather, with high heels and narrow
pointed toes.
Hilda thought that the Swedish
way Of Cooking and baking, and the
Swedish methods OF washidg scmi-Oc-
casiOnaily, were far superior to any
American ways. So at first we ate
sour Swedish bread and gagged over
thin Swedish soups made Of prunes
and raisins, and we put of washing
until we were reduced to staying in
bed while our clothes were washed.
But We liked our own customs better,
so with a sigh Hilda put the house
wifely traditions of her beloved Swe-
den behind her and turned her I'M
willing footsteps into the paths laid
out by the authors Of American cook
books.
Maria spoke English much better
than Hilda. She '.liked the Yankee
songs best" and she sang 'GOOd-by,
My Lover, G~OOd-by," and "Peek-a-
boo" while Hilda hummed the old
country hymns which were so dear to
her heart.
-Hcmat, hcmat, mat stranden
Der matt Ell vafder mer-"
Hilda softly sang, with a far-away
look in her eyes, but Marfa's shrill
trcbel sang out in

Visions of pretty Maria getting into

askcd with real concern. "WhO

"No, nam, the clock; she is getting

"Not by a jugful! l shan't have
anything to do at the Office this after
noon, and if there's a bit Of tinkering
around the house it will be fun for
| me-"
He returned at noon, having a
heavy parcel with him, and when Mrs.
BOwser asked about the contents he
cut the string and replied:
"Just a few tools. Come handy to
tinker with. Every man ought to
keep a few tools and do his own re-
pairing. l think l saved us ut least
$500 last year."
Swell, I hope you won't fly mad
over your work. A screen-dOOr is a
very particular thing to hang"
'Oh! it is! You've hung lots OF

"YOu'd better write a book and
call it: "What I Know about Screen
Doors / ought to feel awful proud
to think l have such a smart wife.
Run right in, now; and begin on the
first chapter of your book"
Mr.. BOwser descended to the cellar,
where he found four screen doors OF
different sizes. He selected n he
thought would fit and carried it up.
1t was six inches too high. The mex,
was four inches too short. The third
was almost long enough to make two
such doors as he wanted. He had
the fourth one, which was almost a
fit, in the back yard, when Mrs. Bow
ser came out to say:
eff you had first measured YOU

doors, you wouldn't have had to lug
up this one"
"WOuldn't I? Perhaps you under

GAN rURBLIND CHILD?"

The door had to be sawed of about
an inch at the top. Mr.. Bowscr
brought out coupled of kitchen chairs,
made a scratch on the door with a
nail, and was about to use the saw,
when she asked:
"Arcn't you going to strike a line
across there?:"
'.For what rcasOn?"
eff you don't you can't saw

When he finished saving off the

turned on her. do you suppose l

imagine l wanted a straight top on

ahead and finish the job"
Mrs. Bowser went into the house,
and Mr.. BOwser held the frame up
again to sec that he would be obliged
to tack on a strip or leave an opening
for all the flies in New York State.
He was saving a piece of one Of the
other doors to make this strip when
Mrs. Bowser appeared and said:
"Youn spoil that door, too, Mr..
Bowser. Why don't you take a piece
from this box? II you had put a

grand old Missouri is still in it:
.sOliver Smith left this country in the
spring Of 1850 for California during
the gold excitement, and was not
heard Of here until last spring. He
worked in mines there for a year, and
upon hearing that his wife was dead
he drifted away to the gold fields OF
Australia. He wrote several letters
back home, which miscarried for
some cause, and receiving no answer,
he gave up the idea Of returning, con-
tenting himself to live in his new
home. He left four children, all OF
whom are dead, they leaving two chill
dren. His wife is still living at the
age of 81 years. He was 25 years old
when he went away. Mr.. Smith will
return home next month, and no
doubt will meet a hearty welcome
from his wife and relatives, as well
as old friends, many OF whom have
