J. L. Hughes took a run down to the
Bay one day last week on business, re-
turning with good reports of our neigh
bors in the metropolis.
I was talking with friend the other
day. the subject under discussion be-
ing rents. She was remarking the diff
ficulty of suiting ones wants at a rea-
sonable figure. Everything desirable
is so fearfully high here" she COM
planned. In other places where l
have lived it is not SO difficult.
laughed, remembering at the moment
the way one old resident of our town
solved the question for herself. She
wouldn't like to recall it now, fancy,
since though once driven by straitened
circumstances to devise ways and
means of driving off the wolf, times
have changed, and through the mar
rfages of her daughters, who nave
both done pretty wel1' in the eyes OF
nolite society, she has risen to the ranks
Of upper-ten- dom and in common with
her very lofty progeny feels her I'M
portance accordingly. But in those
long-forgotten, to-be-remember-
ed days, it was remarked by all VINO
knew her that her residence was dlfh-
cult to locate at any time owing to the
fact that she moved about once every

Well, do you know what the boys
say about her." he asked mysteriously,
taking a astepnearer and looking intenty
at me through his e-glasses, which
did not for d moment conceal the fact
that his black eyes were dancing with
fun. Come here" he commanded. /
drew a step nearer. wondering what
was going 10 happen. whereupon he
made half a dozen rotary motions in the
air Just AZ one side of his head, touching
finally the center OF his right temple:
then. with a nod and "Uh. huh, that's
right" he left me. laughing at my ex-
