Sketch Of Builders Exchange and Board Of
Trade Growing Worcester as it
Is and as it Will Be
BONE and SINEW OF A GREAT CITY

well as modern convenience is the gen
eral plan which is being adopted in
making draughts for domestic nests.
Cottage houses in the suburbs are the
most in demand and scores of them
will be erected before the 4th of July.
Some buildings of Importance in more
central sections of the city are being
planned and the men having them I'M
der consideration are looking toward
general excellence in their construc-
ton to keep pace with growing
Worcester.
The recent cold snap has created a
demand for outside windows and storm
doors, and manufacturers and dealers
in this line have been kept busy in
consequence.
Local plumbers have been on the
hustle for the past few days. Cold
weather is responsible for the extra
ordinary demand on these men. 1t is
not understood that there is any seri-
Gus objection offered by the plumbers,
however.
Frank o. Stevens, for the past %
years, identified with the builders
finish manufacturing industry of this
city, has opened ware rooms at 144-150
Union Street. Five years of travel in
this line has fitted Mr.. Stevens as an
excellent judge.

Wore His old Hat Home.

They were talking about getting bald.
"Men wear their hats too much" the
doctor was saying. 81 have noticed
that great many business men wear
them in their Offices The head should
be kept bare as much as possible"
MY partner always wear an old straw
hat around the store" replied a Market
street merchant. "He wears this in
winter as well as in summer, or at least
he did until last winter, when he had
an experience that cured him of it.
zone very cold afternoon he left the
office early, and as he walked briskly
through the street he noticed in a rather
absentminded way that he was attract
ing considerable attention. People turn
ed and looked after him and laughed
1t was not until he had walked five or
six blocks that he realized what it all
Ieant. He met a lady of his acquaint-
ance, and when he went to raise his
hat he found that he was still wearing
the old straw one, having forgotten to
change it when he left the office. For
tunately there was a hat store near by,
and he went In and bought one more
suitable to the season. "-Philadelphia

Composition on Love.

Love is a thing that makes people
think each other pretty when nobody
else does.
1t causes two persons to be awful
quiet when you're round and also quiet
when you're not round-olly in diff
ferent way.
1t also causes people to sit together
on one end of bench when there's
heaps of room on The ether end.
Nurses has it and sometimes police
men. That's when they don't know
where you are and you have lots of
fun playing on the grass.
Husbands aud wives las it, but most
generally only lovers.
Old people don't have MICH, cause
it has to be about dimples and red
cheeks and fluffy curls and lots of
things which old people don't ever
have

A TRUE FISH STORY.
The Peculiar Adventure of a Wed.
ding Ring.


about the queerest fish story
know of, said highly truthful look
ing man-indeed, he was clergyman
"happened to me at little lake in Wis
cousin, where | used to summer with
my family. One day my wife was out
in our boat with party of friends.
She was letting her hand trail in the
water, without thinking about its
shrinking effect, and when she finally
took her hand in her wedding ring was
gone. The lake was deep at that point,
and although we made considerable
effort to recover the ring it was not
found.
Naturally it worried her good deal,
and the next year she would not go
back to the same place, nor did we
go the following year, but the third
year we went there again, and one day
was in the woods about mile from
the lake with my boy, trying to get a
shot at some denizen of the forest or
other. AS we went peering around
among the trees to get a squirrel we
had seen 1 noticed something shining
on a twig of tree about % feet from
the ground l sent my boy up after it,
and when he came back l was more
than astonished to find that the shining
thing was my wife's wedding ring.
"How it ever got there was a mys-
terry at first, but was not a believer in
fairies and that sort of thing, so | be-
gan to investigate for material causes.
The top of the tree had deadened, and
with a suspicion in my mind | sent my
boy up to see what signs might be
above the green boughs. He called
down to me presently that there were
remains of a fishhawk's nest in the
forks of the tree, and, putting this
and that together, came to the conclu-
sion that the hawk had caught the fish
that had gobbled up. my wife's ring in
the lake and had taken it to the nest
for the young hawks. They didn't
care for jewelry and had left that
part of the fish in the nest, from which,
as the nest was blown to pieces by the
wind and beaten by the storms, the
ring had dropped out and by chance
had caught on the twig where l found
it. In any event, if that was not the
way it got there, how did it? For II
surely was there, and my wife is wear
ing it today. Exchange.

Nothing perhaps produces quite so
much wit from a cabman as Il sense of

means that he has been justly paid. A
lady who had been guilty of this kind
of justice experienced the usual sense
of discomfort when her driver straight
ened the palm into which she had just
dropped her shilling and looked at her
speechlessly. She was weakly about to
add another siXpence when the cabby's
