HIS PHOTOGRAPH
Was Sent to the Right Name but the
Wrong Young Woman.

This is brief story of a young
mans photograph:
"Once upon time"-that time
has not long since passed-there was
a young and charming lady named
Miss Laura Parks. Now, there
are two Laura Parks, or this story
would never have been written, and
both are charming. The first one
lives at Cotton Hill, w. Va, and the
other at Kingwood, w. Va. The
first named Miss Parks was visiting
at Parkersburg this summer and the
other was guest of friends across
the river at Marietta. There came
to the Marietta Miss Parks a Pho
tograph by mail. The postmaster
at Marietta, highly enterprising
man, had seen by the Parkersbug
papers that Miss Laura Parks was
visiting there, and not knowing of
the one visiting Marietta, he for
warded the photograph to Parkers-
burg. The wrong Miss Parks got
it, and wondered and wondered what
handsome Kingwood man was send
ing her his photograph, with loving
messages on the back. At the same
time the right Miss Parks was wor
rying because the looked-for photo
graph had not arrived. Finally, by
chance, the matter was Strengthened
out and the handsome county super
intendent of Preston county with
drew his complaint at the postoffice
department on account Of mis-
sent package "All's WELL etc.

QUEEN Quality and Hirschman' s
are two names that will always be
associated together
The Wheeling chapter of the
daughters Of the Revolution recent
ly formed an endless chain to aid
the soldiers. Every member Of the
organization started the chain by
sending duplicate letter to four of
their friends with the instruction to
make four copies and send to four of
their friends and return their origi-
nal letter with ten cents to Mrs.
Reed Baird who is the treasurer of
the organization. The plan mas
worked admirably and in the short
time it has been in operation over
500 letters have been received by the
treasurer. This also means that up
wards of $50 has been received to be
used for the purpose of buying deli
cacies for the sick and wounded sol
diers. The idea is not to purchase
luxuries but something that will
tempt the appetite of a sick man.
In military hospital a sick mans
diet is changed considerably from
that of the battlefield, but it is not
always what it should be and these
ladies are endeavoring to provide
fund that will give these men some
of the comforts of home Several of
the letters have been answered from
Morgantown.

date for the fight as yet, but in all prob
ability it will be held in WOodWards Pa

King, he is now ready to enter the ring.
The Australian will have the best of the
weight by about four or five pounds, but
as LaVigne has been handicapped in Civ
ing weight away in almost every battle
he has had in the past, his friends expect
TO see him polish off Tracey in good
style.
If Corbett has patched UP his differences

cording to late dispatches, the proposed
Jeffries and Corbett contest will not take
place for some time, If at ALL

key in a twenty-round bout the National
Club will willingly hang up a s15, 900
dollars, better stake than any of the
heavyweights can get in the East.
1t can be safely said that a return
match between George Green and Mystic
rious Billy Smith will be contaminated
within the next two months.
Smith has sent word to friend in this
city that he will fight Green at any time

good as made, as Green is very anxious
to settle up old scores with Smith.
