Sorry for Doing 1t.
This story did not come from the man inter-
ested 1t came from the lady who was with the
lady who was interested. Perhaps that fact
will relieve the mind Of the man who did"
The two ladies were crossing from Hoboken
the other day, and In the lferryboat sat next to
n iiashily dressed man. who wore many imita-
ton diamonds and much jewelry. When the
ladies left the boat one felt for her purse and
didn't find 1t.
There wasn't much In It," she explained
philosophically to her friend. Il wasn't going
10 buy anything, you know; / was only going
shopping, But 1t served me right for putting
the purse In my pocket"
The friend agreed consolingly, and they
walked on for a moment. when the lady whose
pocket had been picked pulled out q mall hard

glass was really worth anything.

SAN Francisco. Oct. 24.-Miss Edith Van
Buren, Of EnRlewood. N. j., has Just arrived
here after a trip to Dawson City. The trip was
not all pleasure, as she came home overland
and had a weary tramp. but she is probably the
first woman who has made the journey up the
Yukon and out over the trails solely to see the

The Grand Army Festival,

The complete success of the annu-
al camp fire and festival of George
H. Legate Post, G. A. r., last Friday
evening, demonstrates that the sol
diers of the late war still have Il
warm place in the hearts of this CON-
munity. With usual generosity the
ladies of the city responded with
provisions for the banquet, so that
there was enough for the four hum
dred guests who sat at the tables,
and to spare. At five O'Clock the ia
bles were first filled, and thence on
to midnight, attendants in the dim
ing hall We're kept busy.
The program of entertainment was
unusually attractive and compre-
hensive. An opening song by Messrs.
Williams, Keulling, Hughes and
Huxtable was followed by solos by
Miss Phillips and Miss Thomas and
a recitation by Miss Leila Jackson.
The latter captivated the audience
and surprised all. She responded
twice to encores, and even then the
listeners were reluctant to let her go.
In voice, diction and gesture her rem
ditiou of each piece would have done
credit to professional of twice her
years and long experience on the
roStrum.
Department Commander f. b.
Gray came next, with an address
specially in the interest of the Grand
Army, outlining what the organiHa-
tion had done and is still doing as
teacher of patriotism, and in the in
terest of eX-soldiers and their widows
and orphans. He urged that every
soldier owes it 10 himself and his
comrades to stand firmly in the
ranks of the Grand Army until call
ed to camp on the further shore of
the silent river. Col. Gray we'll sus-
tanned his reputation as most pleas
ing and effective Grand Army ora

stirring speech of forty minutes du-
ration commanding attention and

cent article by prominent educator
and referred to the unsatisfactory
presentation of the facts of the war
in school histories, to show the ne
cessty for the maintenance of such
an organization as the Grand Army

ment, in fitting out its expedition for

This is not Ia be wondered at. The
