At the New Year reception at the

and two handsome daughters, who are
well known in society here, passed into
the red parlor and then entered the
line. Just behind them came a color
ed woman. and back Of her two young
ladies, quite plainly dressed, and then
a man. The society woman gave her
name, Mrs. Dobson." and each Of the
young ladies said Miss Dobson." Then
the young lady Of color said Miss
Dobson" and the two young ladies be-
hind her each murmured Miss Dob

man, who said "Mr. Dobson." BY that
time everybody within hearing dis
tance was shaking with suppressed
laughter. The seven 'Dobsons" eyed
each other scornfully after they got
into the east room, and. excepting the
society woman and her daughters,
went their several ways, they being
in no way connected. The name was
not Dobson. but that does not matter

A woman In New England placed $4s
in bank bills In the oven OF the kitchen

band. She forgot TO take 1t out, and In

reduced the money to crisp before his
wife remembered where 1t was. She
picked up the ashes. enough TO half fill

and sent them down TO Washington tc

of magnifying glasses, identified the
bills to the amount Of $36. and sent her

The Postoffice Department has re-
Gently been stirred up in remarkable
manner by q young woman in Iowa.
She happens to have Il lover in one Of
the regiments now on duty In the Phil
ippine islands, and recently made conf
plaint of the ineff1ciency Of the postal
service, directed to the postmaster gen.
eral and also to the member of Con-
cress from the district In which she
lives. She was boiling with indignation
because she had written twenty-four
times to her lover in the Philippines
and had received no reply; indeed, she
had not heard a word from him since
his departure on the troopship from
San Francisco, and was confident that
he had written her regularly, as he had
promised to do, and that his letters had
either been destroyed or were lying in
some corner where they had been over
looked or were lost on the way, or that
he had been killed by the Filipinos and
General Otis had neglected to report
his death. She denounced the expan-
sion policy Of the administration, de-
clared that 1t was a cruel and wicked
war and demanded that her lover
should be sent home at once.
As the young lady's father Is per-
son Of some prominence in a political
way, the congressman took up the mat
ter with the Postotfice Department, and
a cablegram was sent to the superiu-
tendent of the postal service in the
Philippine islands at the cost Of So Il
word, ordering an investigation.
The report has just been received.
The special agent to whom the case
was assigned says that he found the
girls lover without any difficulty, en-
jOying good health and an average
state Of happiness. He promptly admit
ted that he had received u lot of let
tiers from his sweetheart in Iowa-he
couldn't remember whether the exact
number was twenty-three or twenty
four-but they had come in punches by
every transport and had been duly de-
livered at the camp of his company.
He also acknowledged with equal can
dor that he had not answered any of
them because the weather was too hot,
and he wasn't much Of writer, any
how. He liked to receive letters, but
hated to answer them, and declared
that he had told the girl so before he
left home. Therefore he did not see
why she was making such fuss about
1t. He would write her by the next
mail and scold her for making an Off
cial matter of their love affair.
A copy of the report was sent to the
member of Congress. with the request
that he forward it to the young lady,

finger on an exact description of the
ring. 1t was valued at 5000.
After they had all wondered awhile
they put on last years clothes, got
candles and went into the cellar. but
though they shifted the Goals about for
hours they got nothing but their faces
blacked. Mr.. Johns was the blackest.
When she had got herself washed
and busted Mrs. Robinson put the ring
on and wore 1t till night. but before
retiring to rest she put 1t on her toilet
table in case 1t got lost In bed.
In the morning the ring was gone.
Susan took a red face as soon as her
mistress came downstairs. Mrs. Robin
son Just stood still and looked at her
for a moment, and then she said:
Susan. what have you done with
the ring?"

down on her chest and burst into
tears.

But Susan sobbed on and said moth

I'll give you an hour to make up
your mind about it," said Mrs. Robin
son. You're not to do any work for
that time"
Susan sat on the chest the whole 80
minutes and cried herself out. Mrs
Robinson came down at the end Of that
time and found her still glued to the
lid.

"Yes'm."

ter. "She is sitting on her chest, look

What is to be done?"

girl has been making progress, and the
prison would put an end to all that.

But it would be wrong to keep her

And Susan got notice accordingly.

FINDING THE
DIAMONDS.

It was her system that made Mrs.
Robinson what she was. If lie got
oose any where near she was up and
lfter 1t with anything she could lay
her hands on.
She showed you that lying didn't pay
when she was concerned. A lie turned
into serpent as soon as 1t got out of
FOUR mouth, and you were glad to get
behind another.
Not to say that her system hadn't
It's drawbacks. Every system has. And
The naked truth Is sometimes as awful
= thins-l0 times more awfui-than
any lie you can think of at the time.
When Susan Jones came, however,
Mrs. Robinson had her work cut out.
The girl lied like an eel-there was no
catching hold Of her.
At first she Just chirped out lies as
light-hearted as a bird. "Pleasm. It
were the cat," or anything that came
uppermost. But the cat had q way
Of proving an alibi that astonished
Susan.
So Susan got as cautious as charity,
and 1t would have done your heart
good to see the two at it. For Mrs.
Robinson had NO sooner got the ferret
Of truth into one hole than Susan was
out and In at another.
Anyone else would have got sick
and disgusted, but Mrs. Robinson
didn't.
For" said she, 1.-The girl has her
good points. and Ill make a woman OF
her."
And she succeeded. for Susan got
worn out by the sheer uselessness OF
the thing. and at last shut down in
disgust. After that the girl did not de-
part from the truth for six months, and
then she let of the awfulest lie Mrs.
days. At least Mrs. Robinson thought
1t was.
1t happened like this. One morning
when Susan was in the coal cellar she
found lady's ring that dazzled your
eyes and took your breath away.
Its one OF them Scent things as
you can buy In any tinkers shop" she
said to herself. Just a lot o. rub

She took 1t to her mistress, however
