A POOR FAMILY.
Pitiful Tale Told By a
Spencer Child.

Spencer, March 3O-A pitiful tale was
heard today by the people of Spencer
from Ida Promo, aged IA, daughter of
Octave Promo of South Spencer.
Mr.. Promo is a hard working man,
but has been unable to get work of any
kind since November. He has worked
IN the mills, and on the roads at diff
eerent times, but at the present there
IS nothing for him to do.
His wife has been doing washing and
house work, but took sick short time
Ago She did not give up working and
yesterday broke down under the strain
and is now confined to her bed.
There are seven helpless children in
Ehe family, the eldest being Emma, who
Is 16 years OF age.
Today Ida was around to the different
houses and stores trying to secure foCQ
for the family.
The merchants knowing the family to
be honest did all in their power to help
them. A large quantity of provisions
was sent down to their home yesterday
and today more goods We're sent. Last
year the town gave them S34, a sum not
large enough to support one-seventh OF
the family.
The band members are making great
preparations to present their drama
t'The Confederate Spy" at the town
hall April IA, 1899. Every member Of
the band has taken out large number
OF tickets and is hustIing to sell them.
The band has decided to have A. w
Jefts OF Worcester use two calcium
lights instead of one, as they originally
intended to do, so ais to give better eff
feet to the tableauX. Ten young ladies'
with Miss Clara Hathaway as ehe
Goddess Of Liberty, will pose in the
tableaux with the soldiers who are of
the Luther Hill camp of Sons of Vet
Grams.
{. c. Fuller will furnish the cos
tunes, and the rehearsal will be under
the direction Of Lieut. w. H. Plummer
of Worcester. Singing by Mrs. Charles
i. Haynes will be heard between the
acts.

THE GOOD OLD TIMES.
Past Women Distanced by Women of To-
Day,

Past Women Distanced by Women of To-
Day.
From the Chicago Chronicle
The woman of to-day is far more
vigorous creature than her sister in
olden times. 1t has drifted into a ira
dition that people should praise 1.-The
good old times and that the man or
woman who belongs to another genera
ton should revile that which is present
and praise that which is past, but hon
eSty, candor and absolute keen-sighted-
ness forces one to the opinion that new
er in any age that has Joined the shad-
owy has-been were there ever women
of such vigor and fortitude as to-day
live and have their being in our social
ranks.
The mother of heroes in the revolu-
ton or duty-bound servitors of the re-
bellion could not vie with the debutante
of to-day, who proves the wonderful
power of her constitution as we'll as
that of her country's by an enduring
and never-tlaggng strength that many
a man might envy.
The routine of day in her life is
enough to stagger most men. One Of
two lunches, a half dozen teas. a din
ner. the opera and ball ending at day
break with a chatting dish repast is a
programme sufficiently severe to wear
out the beauty and digestion of veter-

to feaze dozens of delicately reared
delicately built women.
Have women stronger constitutions
than men? Is the modern code of ath-
letiC Indulgence the secret of wOman's
physical present day superiority over
that of our mothers and grandmothers?
Is the race being vitalized by the de-
mands of social life? These are qUes-
tons hard to answer, but the fact re
mains that the society woman of to-
day can endure more and look less like
one having undergone an ordeal than
all the women put together who figured
in that era which is italicized and en-
phasized as being part and parcel of
the good old times

Girls Weight of Mail.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Miss Frances Babcock of Lawrence,
Kan, received more mail through the
local postoffice than any other single
person in the town and more thanan
but the largest firms.
Miss Babcock, it will be well remem-
bered. is the young woman whom john
Henry Collins admired, and for love Of
whom it is alleged. he killed his father,
J. S. Collins, last May. To her John
sent his damaging tell nothing tele-
gram. and during the sensational trial
which followed his arrest she was an
important witness.
Miss Babcock is now receiving letters
from people in all parts of the country
who ask her for her photograph and
from others who merely solicit her au-
tograph. The most interesting request
made of the young lady was by an am
bilious St Louis composer, who asked
for her picture to decorate the fly-leaf
Of a sensational love song which lie
purposes soon to spring upon an unsus-
pecting public. 1t is entitled viii My
Sweetheart Err ForSake Me?' or some
thing similar
All of these requests, it must be said
to Miss Babcock's credit, are treated
with scorn. She testified at the Collins
trial that she was in the habit of burn
ing her letters, and this is the treat
ment she gives those received from the
numerous curiosity seekers Naturally
of a modest disposition, Miss Babccck
sees nothing to enjoy in the rather
grewsome notoriety she has gained
from her connection with the Collins
case, and from her daily walk and talk
in university and society circles no one
would ever suspect that this young
lady had been brought into unusual
prominence as a chance witness in a
sensational murder case.
