r.av "Ror,.,, .nd IIer Trunks.

Lady ssBobs" and Her Trunks.
There is story going around about
Lady Roberts and her trunks, for the
truth OF which, says the Westminster
Gazette, asman returning from South
Africa vouches. s
At the height Of the transport difiicul-
ties, Lady Roberts carried eight large
trunks from Cape Town to Bloemfon-
tein in the very teeth of the officers.
Everybody wondered, everybody
Srumbled. No one but Lady Roberts
could have ta.en the things through.
The transport Of stores had been stop
ned for the time, the sick lacked every
comfort, and those who were not sick
were half-starved and only half-clad.
Therefore, when fatigue party was
told on to fetch those eight trunks from
Bloemfontein station, some rather un-
complimentary things were said about
women travellers IN general and this
latest transgressor in particular.
Next day seven of the eight trunks
were unpacked, and their contents dis
tributed among the soldiers The clever
lady had snapped her fingers at red
tape. and had smuggled through com
forts for the men. One small trunk con-
tained her personal belongings.

munication, having been given to
them as government officials. M
Acting Governor Cooper, Attorney
General Dole and L. A. Thurston,
president of the Gazette publishing
company, were sumomned to appear

as the Republican nominee on Saturday
for orphans court Judge by 200 votes
over Nichols. Several districts have
not yet reported aud the official count
will be necessary to decide.
In Freeland a very light vote was
polled. Following is the result by
wards:

The vote here was Il surprise to the
local leaders, as Nichols was not con-
sidered factor in the race until late
Saturday afternoon. The large vote
given to the mayor Of Wlkesbarre was
due principally to the hustling of
Thomas Elliott and few others who
cspoused his cause.
