Ronald gave up the discussion. His
brothers coarse allusion TO his mother
and sisters failed TO appeal TO his sense
Of humor. lie was thinking of Evelyn
Hasbrooke's patrician features and 1.-THE

Ronald's heart sank like plummet.
He had hoped TO reach home before
the party overlook him. He reproached
himself for the feeling, but he shrank
from being seen by Evelyn and her
friends in company with one as&ili-
clothed as his brother. David stepped
to the side of the road and stood open
mouthed, TO see the trap and horses
pass, but Ronald, without looking back,
simply kept on his way. He had made
up his mind that he should not dotf his
hat, as he knew David would, like the
peasant he was. He heard a woman's
voice singing plantation melody, ac-
companied by mellow bass. He de-
cided that the woman's voice had a
harsh quality which could not have be-
longed to Evelyn's, although he had
never heard her sing. The vehicle was
just behind him. He heard his broth

For Parents.

An experienced dentist says that
the careiessness Of parents frequently
sacrifices the personal charm of their
children to an extent wholly unneces-
sary. The first teeth should be pre-
served until actually pushed out by
the second, as the jaw contracts
when they are removed any consider
able length of time before the second
The first set should be brushed with
the softest possible brush and good
paste, and when signs OF decay appear
the child should be taken to com

assured of sound, evenly-growing
teeth when womanhood or manhood
Is rcached--Detroit Free Press.

HILL BAKERY TO BE CLOsED.-This
factory which has been in uninterrupt
ed existence in this place for over q
century, will close Its career as work

flying to know that representative OF
the Biscuit Company in statement
made to all the employees assembled
late last Saturday afternoon, said that
the closing was not the fault OF the en-
pioyees or of the management in any
way whatever. He complimented the
entire force-office, factory and statesmen
ON their skill and faithfulness, and
thanked the manager for fidelity in
looking after the interests Of the COM
pany, and for his gentlemanly bearing
and courtesy throughout the present
irving period. The goods of the Hill
Bakery stand al this time as high as
thew have ever done at any point In its
history. It's baking, up to the recent
changes involving territory, bad been
maintained and, indeed, the manager
saws was some 20 odd per cent In ad-
vance OF last year. The necessity for
closing the factory seems to be due to
conditions requiring concentration.
| The company will endeavor to provide
places for as many of the employees
with families as can make their arrange
ments to accept them elsewhere, and
ork will be given preferably to al
the old employees in closing up here
In connection with the above it can
be stated that Mr.. Hill, who has beer

A STRIKE.-A telephone message
was received at police headquarters
this morning asking that officers be
sent to the w. d o. depot to remove
from the premises OF the railroad COM
pany some freight handlers who had
gone on q strike and had become
abusive. 1t seems that FIVE of the
freight handlers had heard that they
had been reported for having entered
box car in which they had no business.
They at once proceeded to the agent
and demanded the discharge of the
man who had reported them. This was
positively refused, and the five men
then struck, declining to work any
longer with the man who had informed
on them, and left the premises, but In
short time they returned, having
been drinking, and became very
abusive towards every one connected
with the company. The agent, Mr..
Wilson, then telephoned for the police
aud Officers Ferguson and Atkinson
we're sent to the depot. They warned
the strikers that unless they left at
once they would be put under arrest,
and q men offered no resistance, but
left the grounds. No further trouble
with them is anticipated, as the whole
| affair was tempest in q teapot.
