GEsTToN. BUT THERE is MOTH

DESPATCH IN MOVING.
The Wayfarer thinks 1t was VIII
Carlton who wrote these lines:
For very little cottage
One family will do;
But I've never seen a house
That was big enough for two.
While their application to the follow
ing story is not direct, they were re-
called to the Wayfarere attention by
something which he saw on Trenton
Place on Thursday. Enoch Moore, Jr.
was the tenant and occupant OF a
house on the pretty little street. He
had made arrangements to move out
the latter part Of this month, and his
successor had been secured to his adj
vantage.
On the day mentioned several wagon
loads Of furniture were hauled up In
front of the house, much to the sur
prise OF the Moore family. When in
quiry was made as to the cause OF
teams stopping there it developed that
there had been a Misunderstanding re-
Rnrding the date and that the new
tenant had closed his old rent account,
packed his goods ard sent them TO
Trenton Place, expecting to find the
Moore house empty and ready for the
reception OF his belongings. The result
OF this action will be fully appreciated
by every householder and housewife,
for packing up and moving out are
things which cannot be done on a mo
ment's notice. However, the trouble
was at the front door and had to b.
met. The new tenant could not go
back to his old home, and his goods
could not be permitted to remain In
the street, and it ended by the Moores
moving out and the newcomer NOV
ing in. 1t was probably the quickest
legitimate moving in local annals.
