The AdIournment Of conaresa.

So much as his bland persistence
And his most superior skill
In getting a share
OF the good things there
In the preparation bill.

The Joker in the Joke.

Congenial and apparently convivial as
sociates occupied the little smoking apart
ment of the narrow gauge combination
car northward bound Monday night.
Finally one of the frolicsome crowd snap
ped handcuff around his own wrist and
quickly fastened the other bracelet to a
companion. The handcuff bound them
together like Siamese twins. and there
was joking about the prisoner in hand
GUNS, etc. But the real joke developed
when West Townshend was reached and
the man on whom the other had snapped
the handcuff wished to get out to go
home. The owner of the handouts FUN
bled for his key, could not find 1t, and
soon the train was ready to start There
was nothing else for Mr.. Owner to do but
to get out of the car and march with
his manacled companion, although said
owner lived two or three stations farther
up the line. The good nature of the two
in handouts passed away about this time,
and when the train pulled away from
West Townshend they were not singing
love songs or forming a mutual admira-
ton society. 1t is understood that il was
late that night when by use of a file the
two were separated. and not until morn
ing that the bracelets which had been
filed apart Were removed.

Mrs. NJ. F. Mallory of Springfield

vicinity last summer in behalf of the
home for consumptives which she was
seeking to establish at Black Mountain
third station this side of Asheville, n. c.,
writes TO friends here that the home will
be opened about Dec 10. 1t will be
known as the Franklin Humanitarian
Home. 1t will give people of moderate
means who are suffering from pulmon-
airy affections an opportunity to so to
salubrious climate, and to have COM
Portable and cheering surroundings while
endeaNoring to regain health. Hundreds
and thousands OF people go each year
to drier climates i'm the west and south
who would have good chance to recov-
er If they were not compelled TO quarter
themselves in stuffy boarding houses and
subsst on cheap food. These are the
classes of people who will be greatly
benefited by such an establishment as
Mrs Mallory is conducting. Her plan
contemplates a self-supporting home, I'LL
timately for the benefit of the working
people. Mrs. Mallory has secured funds
to establish the home through her per-
sonal appeals. More money is needed,
however, to put the establishment on
a proper working basis. 1t is a cause

Contributions may be forwarded to j. e.
