A DOMESTIC EPISODE.

the Little Drawing Room,

The Wife's Artistic Decoration of
the Little Drawing Room.
When he got home that night, she
confronted him at the door, and he
gasped with horror. She was not
dressed for dinner, and she had one
arm in sling. Both thumbs were
done up in huge bandages. There was
towel tied around her tousled head
and a c,it over one of her eyes. The
odor of liniment was heavy on the air.
sFor heavens sake what has hap
pened?" he asked.
Without word she led the way into
the little drawing room. Over the
cushioned couch oriental draperies had
been dispersed artistically with spears
and armor, forming a beautiful, cozy
corner. A lamp, burning dimly, hung
in the center.
81 put it up myself today" she said
81 had grown tired waiting for you to
do it, and the decorators wanted $50"
He seated himself luxuriously among
the pillows.
GLOW on earth did you manage it
alone?" he asked, with exaggerated adj
miration and wonder. He knew just
how it was DONE. He had always had
to put it up himself before this.
ooh, just piece of lead pipe, few
tacks and a paper of pins" she said
simply. yet proudly 81 only fell off
the stepladder twice."
There were almost tears in his voice
when he spoke. 1t really touched him
to sec her standing there bandaged like
a broken down race horse. Besides
that, no one knew how he had dreaded
the task of putting 1T up himself.
"Ah," he said, when will we men
realize what a priceless treasure we
gain when we win the love of true
womanw
He stretched out his arms affection
ately toward her. and the entire thing
collapsed about his head with crash.

the house and the daughter, though
the sutton had been diligently lodging
the father for months.
Hello! Whats this? Sick?' and
the old gentleman firmly planted him

MIR. GRIfFITHS' ADDRESS
Will Speak Before the Board of Trade
About Practice Of Flushing Culm
Into Old Mine Workings.

Members of the board Of trade and
their friends should not fail to attend
the regular monthly meeting of the
board Monday. evening. The paper to
be read by William Griffiths is Of spe"
cial interest to citizens Of the coal re-
gions, as it treats on subject of I'M
portance to the future of the great
anthracite coal industry. The question
is, Shall our immense culm banks,
which in reality contain the very cream
Of the anthracite coal previously
mined, be returned to the mines by
method of washing through bore-holes
constructed for that purpose, or shall
1T be allowed to remain on the surface
to be converted into power, either by
gas producer, or by consumption for
steam purposes?
This matter will be treated in an in
telligent manner by Mr.. Griffiths, and
will be illustrated by stereopticon
views produced on a canvass for that
purpose. 1t will give very distinct
idea of the underground workings in
and about Scranton. and will illustrate
how these workings can be filled, ETC.
The officers Of the board have gone to
considerable expense and work to pro-
vide this interesting entertainment,
and a generous response to the invi-
tation of the president should be given
The assembly room of the board of
trade will seat comfortably 200 people,
and in case of a larger attendance
ample room will be provided.
This lecture will be preceded by the
regular meeting of the board, at which
time a number of important matters
will be acted upon. notably among
which is the amendment to the consti-
tuition providing for changing the time
of meeting Of the board.

Ridge exchange from Its old quarters
at the corner of Green Ridge street
and Dickson avenue to its new build

The new building is a two-story
brick structure, the lower floor being
used as an electrical department, while
the second floor is devoted to the new.
exchange. This latter room contains a
new switchboard of the latest i'm
proved design and having a capacity
of 1900 drops. The old switchboard
had a capacity Of only 600 drops. and
where four girls were formerly en-
ployed five are now required.
The new exchange is thoroughly and
effectually connected with the central
city exchange by a "trunking system
and by this means communication with
Green Ridge and North Scranton will
be greatly facilitated and the central
city system greatly improved.
