The Ladies Auxiliary Of the Keeley
League held very interesting meeting
Monday afternoon at the Kelley insti-
tute. As q result Of the recent mass
meeting at the Lyoeum theater at which
DR.. Kelley spoke, great deal OF enthu-
siaem in the work of the auxiliary has
developed, and the ladies are receiving
accessions to their ranks every day.
There is room for many more in this
charity work, however, and the members
of the league invite membership from all
ladies who are interested in practical
temperance work. Already the auxiliary
has several men in the institution under
ite care, and it knows where to find more
whenever it has the funds to enable
them to assist their families while they
are taking the treatment. In short
time the ladies will hold grand enter
tainment, from the proceeds of which
they expect to be put in possession OF a
fund that will enable them to extend
their work. Any lady who is ready to
assist in this noble work is invited to
join the league at one of Its semi monthly
meetings held at the institute.
There is female forger in the city,
and, according to the number OF COM
plants received at police headquarters
daily, she is operating quite extensively.
A number of East Side merchants have
already been victimized for small

are for small amounts ranging from $6
to $15. The latest complaint was made

An Instance OF the Frailty of Human

1t was hot day-a regular record
breaker-when ice was worth its
weight in gold and palmleaf fans were
at premium:
As the mercury in the thermometer
reached its highest notch, and weary
men looked about to see if stray
thunder shower was bound their way,
portly individual entered the hallway
of one of the great twelve-story office
buildings.
He was stout and hot, his collar
wilted, his face crimson. and as he
famed himself with his hat looked
angry enough to storm beehive. He
glanced at the directory in the hall
way and muttered: Eleventh floor"
As he turned away a large sign met
his eye: Take the elevator in the
rear of the hall"
He gazed at it moment as bull re-
CARDS a red parasol. His eyes flashed
and his hue deepened. Then he spoke:
Take the elevator. eh? Who says
so? Who owns me? Some people
think they can boss the world. Don't
have to take the elevator if ] don't
want to. Guess can walk
And he did. He turned about and
climbed eleven flights of steep stairs
out of sheer obstinacy, simply because
an easier way was suggested to him.

Why should che purest feeling given
Die out upon its native air:

This, lifted in its sturdy pride:

Are they not planted side by side,
When souls that meet in Him are one:
Oh, paint me not q world wherein

The papers next day were full of the
"Brixton mystery" as they termed it.
Each had long account of the affair,
and some had leaders upon it in addi-
ton. There was some information in
them which was new to me. still re-
tain in my scrap book numerous clip
pings and extracts bearing upon the
case. Here is a condensation of few
of them:
The Daily Telegraph remarked that
in the history of crime there had sell
dom been tragedy which presented
stranger features The German name
of the victim, the absence of all other
motive, and the sinister inscription on
the wall, all pointed to its preparation
by political refugees and revolution
lists The socialists had many branchse
in America, and the deceased had, no
doubt, infringed their unwritten laws
and been tracked down by them.
