She Was "onto,, Hum

She was an unkempt, untidy daugh-
ter of sunny Italy, and had seen more
winters, apparently, than summers, as
she boarded a street car on Forest
street yesterday afternoon, with an OBJ
long basket on her arm.
City Marshal Mcintosh was in the
car and he eyed the basket suspiciously.
"What have you got in the basket" I"
he inquired.
"Not moocha, don't understand, ;"
she said, and she shook her head vigor-
ously.
"Let me see, !" said the marshal, and
he uncovered the basket, and lot of
cheap toys and other small articles
were exposed to view.
where are you going" he next
asked.
The answer came readily enough this
time-Fairhaven.
"Don't you know you should have a
license to peddle these goods?'
A blank, fatuous stare was the
officers reward, and the immigrant
from the land of cerulean skies and the
Malta, sadly moaned, Don't moocha
understand" and New Whatcom's
city marshal murmured in a diminu-
endo tone, ~ believe you understand
as well as do"
Then the chief of the New Whatcom
coppers left the car, and it bowled
along a block further and the dusky
dame signalled the conductor, the car
stopped, and as she passed the HERALD
man there was merry twinkle in hef
eye, and she said, in good robust Saxon
speech:
"When 1 can't fool policeman, I'll
stop peddling. See?"

FAIRHAvEN ART LEAGUE
An Appeal to the Ladies to Assist Il
Making 1t a Success


Making 1t Success
AS the ladies of Fairhaven are aware,
the organization of the Art League in
this city is under way, the primary OBJ
ject being by collaboration and CO.
operation to foster the growth of artis-
tic.pursuits, and secondarily to produce
such work as will meritoriously repre-
sent Fairhaven and the state of Wash
ington at the great Worlds Fair which
will be held next year in Chicago. 1t
should be understood, however, that
art representation is but one of many
divisions into which the woman's de-
partment of the fair is to be divided.
Doubtless from its very nature the
art department will be very large and
complete, but there are numerous other
departments of the work of women
which should not and will not be over
looked or slighted. The brilliant and
energetic president of the woman's
committee, Mrs. Potter Palmer, of
Chicago, has offered a suggestion
which, by the way, is being unani-
mously acted npon, that statistics be
gathered showing every organization
of women In the United States and the
purpose for which they exist. TO Mrs.
J. Wayland Clark, of this city, the task
of collating the list of organizations
in Fairhaven has been assigned. Mrs.
Clark would esteem it favor il the
secretaries of the various wonlen's socie-
ties would assist her by mailing her a
postal card care of Z. o. box GAS, city,
giving simply the name of the Organi-
zation or society and the purpose. All
societies. devoted to such specific ob.
jects as painting, music and sculpture,
including every purpose of existence,
even to the relief of the poor and needy
or general benevolence, are eligible to
representation on the list. But one ex.
ception is made, and that is clubs de
voted solely to social pleasures whose
term of life is limited TO brief season.
AS soon as the list is completed il will
be forwarded, with others, to the presi.
dent who will make the proper disposi-
ton of it. By the cooperation of the
secretaries of the women's societies OF
FSirhaven, Mrs. Clark's work will be
much simplified and this city secure
its proper representation. The cordial
assistance of the ladies is requested and
will be received with thanks.

The Firemen,s Concert

The members of the fire department
have completed arrangements with the
New York Symphony clnb for the ap-
pearance of this fine aggregation of
musical talent at Thistle's opera house,
on Thursday evening. Some time ago
a Firemen's Relief Fund was organized
in this city and the present engage
ment of the New York artists is for the
purpose of adding to the funds of this
worthy institution. The fire laddies,
then, should receive the hearty sup
port of citizens, and this can very
easily be done by filling the opera
house to its utmost capacity. The
prices for seats are popular, and all
those who attend are assured thor
oughly artistic and interesting per-
formance and an evening of unalloyed
pleasure.
The New York Symphony club COM
prise a galaxy of artists of the highest
order, and every concert given is a
brilliant success. The violin playinp
of Charles +. Higgins and the ciarionet
