Orphan Asylum, 1872.
Grocery Shop, 1897.

We think our memory serves us cor
rectly when we say the Orphan Asylum
at Oxford was opened under the super
intendence Of Mr.. j. III. Mills just TWEEN
ty-five years ago.
Thanksgiving Day wars approaching
the treasury was empty, the pantry was
bare and forty thinly-clad children had
arrived-other applications daily COM
ing in.
Mr.. Mills wrote letters to the leading
newspapers giving the condition of af-
fairs, and through them asked the good
people Of the State to send contributions.
The following week they poured in:
Tin Horns, Wheelless Wagons, Stale
Candy, Rancid Nuts, Wormy Cakes and
Crackers, Headless and Legless Dolls,
Horses and Sheep, Hornless Cows and
Billie Goats, and such like Supplies. Mr..
Mills again used the newspapers in
thanking the Donors for their Contribu-
tions. They had been received in the
same spirit in which they had been
sent (unbounded charity. He, however,
hoped thereafter everyone would re-
member that even a Paper Collar
would keep an Orphan warmer than a
Tin Horn"
People have called in to say compli-
mentary things about our Advertise
ments, and one Lady was kind enough
to say she must give us credit for great
research. She had read and enjoyed the
same stories in Turner's Almanac's pub
lished in 1856. But we are drifting.
What we wish to impress upon friends
and readers is this,
The profits on The Sale of cent
Yeast Cake will go further toward pur'

THE BOGUS BARON
Made Unrequited Love to Lucky Bald
wins Nemesis

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-Attorney
Delmas has not reconsidered his deter
mination not to talk-indeed, his deter
mination has become stronger since the
last message was received from his Ne
mesis at London, in which she asserts
that Detective Won Arnold was hired
to betray her.
Jeannine Won Turkheim is not the only
Nemesis who believes Won Arnold base
Lillian Ashley, who is playing the trag-
ic role of avenging fate to E. ]. Baldwin.
believes she had lucky escape from be-
ing taken out Of the United States at
Baldwin's behest. She now AYERS. and
in the averment is corroborated by her
sister, Emma, that Won Arnold made
love to her as Baron Won Steinmetz at
Los Angeles and attempted to WOO her
into forgetfulness of Baldwin's millions
and his babe by the glitter of a distant
crown. She made inquiries The bogus
Baron's estate and his pretenses melted
under the simple test of inspection. She
preferred her present lot, and instead Of
leaving for Steinmetz with Won Arnold
came to San Francisco and registered
at Baldwin's hotel as Mrs. Lay, betray-
ing thereby an adaptability to circum-
stances not unequal to Won Arnolds.
Miss ASHLEY hazards the opinion, solely
in the hope of saving some other poor
girl, that Won Arnold and his EMPLOYERS
are villains.
