And GREEN BY NATURE

Thomas Green colored, Of this city.
had an experience in Philadelphia re-
Gently that he will probably remember
for some time Green went to the
Quaker City in search OF work, and
there met Frank Wood also colored, at
Broad street station, who offered him
a Job saying that he was employed in
acafe and that he (Green) would have
TO get a white coat before going to
work.
Green gave Wood fifty cents 10 pur-
chase one and accompanied him to a
department store, remaining outside
while Wood went in the store to buy
the coat. In a few minutes he came
ont and said the coat would be finished
in ten minutes.
"Oh, by the way" Wood said. 1--WE
bet the man in there $40 that he can't
finish the coat In ten minutes. Loan
me your watch till I time him." The
unsuspecting Green handed over his
timepiece and Wood re-entered the
store with t.
After waiting around the store until
he got tired II suddenly dawned upon
Green that he had been duped. and one
day last week, seeing Wood in Broad
street station, he chased him, and after
run Of two squares, Wood was finally
captured and locked up.

RARE RUMMAGE WILL BE SOLD
Big Collection Of HeirIsOmS in Junior Aux.
iliary Sale at BishOpStead Lawn Fete

Valuable relics have been purchased
by curio hunters at rummage sales. I'm
der the management of the Junior
Auxiliary of Delaware a "rummage
sale will be conducted in an attrac-
tive manner during the lawn fete al
BlshOpstead on Wednesday. Garret
ana storeroOms have been ransacked
and old pieces of furniture and other
articles that have been crowded out OF
the living rooms, either for want OF
space or to make room for more mod
ern articles, will be offered for sale.
Like the other features Of the lawn
fete, the proceeds will be for the bene-
iit Of the St. Michael's Day Nursery
and Hospital for Babies.
One church woman has donated for
the 'rummage sale a fine old clock.
lt stands two and a half feet high. Its
works are wood, and it is deemed by an
expert to be one of the first American
clocks made-probably about the year
1918.
The members OF the auxiliary are
still desirous OF receiving more rum
mage articles TO add to their stock. and
request any persons having discarded
furniture or other rummage to please
contribute TO the sale such things as
they feel disposed.
Dorainger's cut glass is aclxnowl-
edged to be the finest in America. The
chairman of the "rummage sale" has
just received the following communi-
cation:
"Dsar Mrs. Hail. Your favor of the
1ith is at hand. We will make you up
a package OF glassware, and will send
IL by express on Monday, so that it will
reach you on Tuesday or Wednesday
morning at the latest
Very truly yours,
