an effectnal wall and the ball was lost
on downs in the center Of the field.
Again Oak Grove fumbled and Gardiner
took the ball. Tie boys played with a
snap that was encouraging, and they
rushed the ball up me field by long runs
around the end and occasionally striking
Oak Groves stone wall line.
The Gardiner team had the ball on its
opponents 10-yard line and could have
easily scored a touchdown. when the ref
eree's whistle blew and the half was
ended.
In the second half, Jones kicked Off to
Gardeners 10-yard line. Babb took the
ball and went to the middle of the field
where he was downed by McVane. Gar
diner again played good football and the
slippery pigskin was pushed along to their
opponents danger line. Here Woodcock
was given the ball and expected to carry
it across for the first touchdown, but
alas, he fumbled and an Oak Grove man
fell on the ball and crushed all of Gardl-
ners hopes for victory.
Gardiner lost courage and Oak Grove
won easily in the last 10 minutes OF the
game by sending Wheeler and Jones
around the end for long runs and three
touchdowns. Jones kicked only one goal,
making the score 16-0.
1t is thought that the game of the sea-
son will be played, Saturday, when Gar
diner and Cony will probably battle for
the victory that each desires so badly.

 There was a party of schoolgirls in here the other day l expected to reap harvest of at least four purses, but only one was lost The poetry in that purse was not-wen, it was hardly classic, and no doubt would have got ten that young woman in serious trou- ble had it been found in her possession. She was so suspiciously profuse in her thanks to me that her dragon began to wonder if I had designs on her inno- cent charge.
 There was quite an interesting case here recently. A purse was found and brought to me by a little cash girl. It contained more than $100 and several rings. If there are more than one card with the same name we naturally con- clude that the name is that of the own CT of the purse, to whom we write, if in due time there are no inquiries made.
 But there were no two visiting cards alike in this purse, and when a very swell looking woman asked if her purse had been returned had to re- quest her to describe it's contents. She said she was too i'll to think I told her, as carefully as possible, that l was responsible and of course must beg her 10 try to remember what was in it.

This costly production was not sent through the post; 1t was delivered in a handsome casket by a messenger, who rode a white palfrey.

 "The next day she came in and said she was too i'll at the tune to ask for the person who returned her purse, but would l be good enough to tell her then? At this moment the little girl passed my desk. She looked so tired and was so badly dressed and was such a child to be so closely confined that 1 gave her name and address to the lady, thereby breaking a rule of the house, for here our motto is that virtue shall have no more substantial reward than itself.

The tapes can be used more than once, but the liberty silk will not wash.

LOST PURSES OF
 CARELESS SHOPPERS

HOUND. five thousand six hundred
 and eighty-six purses. No no-
 tice of these losses appeared in
 the Lost and Found" column
 the facts were recorded only in the register of the superintendent of one of New Yorks large department stores. and the record covered a period of four years.
 The actual money found in the entire pile amounted to a little less than . 5000. for New York women do not carry much money with them in the shopping district. Those who do not have things charged pay in checks every woman with bank account takes her check book with her In her rounds of the shop as religiously as she gathers samples on her journey or has goods sent home c. o. D.
 Looking through these purses, solely for identification's sake, you under stand, is about all the fun I get out of this job," said the superintendent. It is astonishing how childish and unreason- able some women are about the matter Every purse that is found in the shop is brought to my desk If an einploye finds it, I take her name, number and counter-the latter to save time-so we can reach her without going to the books of the main office. If a customer returns the purse we cut. off few yards of red tape"

The Earl of Buchan experienced some strange vicissitudes before he suc- ceeded to his title and impoverished es- tates; and for some years made his liv- ing by acting as a jockey.
 The present Earl of Caithness was the son of an Aberdeen bank manager, who dispatched him to the States as a boy to fight his own way to a livelihood. For some years he shared the rough life and fare of the cowboys, and had comfortably established himself on a farm in Idaho, when his fathers unex- pected accession to the earldom made him Lord Berriedale and. within twelve months, Earl of Caithness.
 The present Baron Gardner is prouder of his headship of the Indian village of Munowota than of his Brit ish peerage, and "rears his dusky nets and the House of Lords. He has SO far detached himself from the land of his birth that he can scarcely speak it's language.
 The Earl of Aberdeen, elder brother of the Governor General of Canada, as is pretty generally known. lived and died as common sailor before the mast although he was lord of 63, 900 acres and holder of eight titles; and the present Earl of Stamford earned a scanty living for some years as lay reader and schoolmaster before he suc- ceeded to his title as tenth earl

O NE thing to be considered by the
 woman depending on her own l labor is her laundry. This spring
 in underwear I have seen cotton Jersey vests very good for 10 cents, with drawers of the same for 9 cents. These are very good for everyday wear and can be easily washed and require no ironing. In the same line you can get better ones for 9 and 75 cents
 A short petticoat of shaker flannel or the pretty tennis flannel requires no iron ing if carefully shaken out and pulled into shape. The bottom cut into scallops and bound with narrow taffeta ribbon or finished with a crocheted scallop makes a pretty skirt for not over 50 cents.

not blow about, and if cut narrow is perfectly comfortable and quite out of the way Golf stockings are to be worn very much. but let us hope it is a pass ing fancy, for except for very slender women they have a startling effect in the increase in apparent size of the lower ex- tremities. Bicycle suits should be made with coat to be worn over a wash waist. on account of the precipitation which always destroys any nonwash material: "Tans'' to match the shoes, belt and tie are very popular in the East. sim gle quill in Scotch fashion gives it a jaunty air and it sits on the head in a wind closely and firmly.
 Quills are to be worn as much as ever. A novel idea in getting the color you wish Is to buy them plain and with oil paints color them yourself. Wings can be treated in the same manner and made very pretty indeed.
