residing for several years in the First

day evening last IN his drug store at

the natural suggestion that she might

A few days later the customer was
calling at charming little home IN a
pleasant suburb, when her hostess
apropos of some pressing duties, said:
eff | knew some nice young woman
who would like to spend week or two
in the country, and would come and stay
here ard help me a little with my work
each day, would board her without
charge, and be glad of the chance! 1t
would really be a mutual benefit; she
would have an inexpensive ou.i1g,-a
genuine outing too, for | could easily
arrange matters SO that she might have
d good portion of each day for recreation
and to enjoy this braciDg air and
picturesque scenery, and l could get
Caught up in some of my sewing, and

giving full equivalent for value received.

Immediately bethought herself of the
bright young woman in the sthing city
shop. They talked the matter over, and
| in less than week the city girl was
enjoying the longed for country snrToun

happy IN the prospect of getting Caught
up in her work and having some rest.

grown into the Helping Hand Visitors

the plan carried out in the first expert
ment, through which those who have
homes in the country and who would
like to receive Helping Hand Visitor

be put into communication with respect
able self supporting women in cities,-
clerks, seamstresses, milliuers, etc. -
who, though anxious to spend a short
vacation in the country, cannot afford
the necessary expenditure for board.
Undoubtedly, there are many who
would be glad to receive these young
women into their homes on the condition
that in return for board and lodging they
would render some service in sewing or
homework, leaving themselves, of
course, sufficient time during the day to
enjoy the pleasures of walks, drives, or
other recreations.
A Central Bureau has been established
in New York for furthering the pur
poses of the club, extending its develop

ELKTON Md, March 30, 1898.
EDITOR OF THE WING.
AS life long citizen oil Elktou, and as
II tax payer, l wish to protest against the
idea of reducing the Bailiff's salary, not
withstanding Mr.. Boulden's apparent
willingness to work for less than he is
now paid, The present bailiff is more
efficient, oblIging and faithful, and does
more work on the streets and pavements
than anyone who has preceded him in
the office, or than anyone is likely to do
who will succeed him. Under Our
present charter, the bailiff is required to
give his whole time exclusively TO the
service of the town, and is subject to the
call of the citizens at all hours. He is
not allowed to engage in any trade or
occupation, or to leave the town without
permission. He not only acts as an
officer, providing his own uniform, but
he does during the year great deal Of
work for which mechanics or brick lay.
ers would be paid at least $2,0O per day.
The work that Mr.. Boulder has done on
the streets and pavements has been we'll
done, and it will be an unwise step, and
false economy to reduce the officer to the
grade of a day laborer. 1t will be very
much better in the interests OF the tax
payers and property owners to pay the
Bailiff the salary he now gets and require
him still to devote his whole time to the
streets and pavemeuts which sadly need
attention in many parts of the town.

II. r. ToRBERT, ESQ.
Dear sir:-I beg leave to differ some.
what with your correspondent Il
wonder!' He states Ekton is worrying
about who shall be bailiff. 1t is not
EIkton at all; 1t is only few politicians
who are now preparing for the delegate
election that is to be next fall So far
as the bailiifship is concerned, believe
three fourths of the people in the town
favor the appointment of Boulder, and
the people should select the two men
who are best suited for the position and
elect them, no matter what the politicians
say. Ii we elect good men for commits
sioners We will have a suitable man for
bailitf. Politics should not be brought
into this town election at all. | for
the political parties. The balance of
the letter aecords fully with my views.
Just think of the liabilities of the Town
for the coming year: Electric Lights
Sl440; Water $500; Bailiff $500; Treas;
urer $3.50; Secretary s25; Surveyor $3.50
Counsel 500, Interest on Bonds $3.50.
This makes $3,6l5.00, a nice little sum,
just $1,000 more than the Town paid this
year for purposes above mentioned. 1t
is time for the tax payer to tako this
matter out of the hands of politicians
and see to it that good men are elected
to manage the Town affairs, then pay
yonr tax and don't GRUMBLE.
