ward the pqstoffice. 1t is a great work
Quite a number Of people who saw 1t
readily pointed out which was the Ra:
and which was the Pisgah, thus showing
that she is a master of her art. Monroe
Suvers, who came along while she was
working, told her that he knew what
would take that all of and leave her
canvass as clean as a whistle. She then
sat her reversible spitz dog on him. and

She is good horsewoman and takes
care of her fathers team entirely when

does.
Miss Birdie Nudge, of Vareoloid, O.,
gave Scotch plaid tea and narshmal-
low roast day before yesterday, and in
vited the president of the United States.
1t is thought that he did not get the let
ter. Dancing was had in the evening,
which was only marred by a cutting
scrape, participated in by the first violin
and the mouth organ man, both colorej.
Miss Nudge was greatly panied over the
outcome, but not SO much so as the
mouth organist. who accidentally ex-
posed some of his plans and specifica-
tons connected with his digestive
scheme. So that it took the entire E
string to sew him up with. Birdie was
greatly annoyed by the occurrence, and
said she was so glad, as it turned out,
! that the president did not come.
