SHE WAS EMBARRASSED.
Circumstances Would Have
Been the Same

One of the most remarkable as
well as embarrassing personal ex-
periences in which woman could
find herself was related a few eyene
ings ago at card party by pop.
ular and attractive society woman
who lives on the West side, says a
New York exchange. She was go
ing in trolley car to attend a char
ity function in the Waldorf-Astoria
1t was raining and she had brought
along her husbands silk umbrella.
When she got out a handsome man
who sat next to her got out also.
She put up the umbrella and the
gentleman paused by her side.
Would you be so good as to let
me walk with you under that UNI
brella?" he asked.
She hesitated, but it was raining
hard. The man was evidently GEN
tleman. His silk hat was being
ruined. She consented. Not a word
was spoken. He accompanied her to
the hotel and followed her in. 1t
was an embarrassing moment. The
gentleman did not leave her. She
gave him surprised look and
bowed his dismissal, but he came
step nearer.
Excuse me-" he said, lifting his
hat, "but you have my umbrella"
She looked at the handle and for
the first time observed that the UNI
prella she carried was not her hus-
bands. She must have left that in
the car and taken the other by mis-
take. Explanations followed, but
she never learned who her escort
was. She telephoned to her husband
to call for her with an umbrella on
his way home from business,

The Rising Sun team opened the
season at home on Saturday after
noon last with the Lewisville, Pa. :,
team. The home club was suffer-
ing, to a very great extent, from
the old enemy-lack of practice,
and gave a ragged exhibition,
while the visitors played in good
form and walked off with the
victory. Riale pitched a creditable
game. considering the loose support
given him in the field, most of the
hits scored against him coming in
the fifth inning, which coupled with
some damaging errors, allowed five
runs to tally. Qougherty pitched
finely for his team and kept the
Sun boys guessing throughout the
contest. A return game will be
played at Lewisville at an early date
and our boys promise to indulge
in some much needed practice and
show the Pennsylvanians their
old time winning form. The
score of Saturdays game follows
and tells the tale of woe:

Suit For Wages.

A suit against the Gambpill Tex
tile Company, which has mill at
Baldwins, Cecil county, was heard
before Judge Philip M. Groves, of
Elktop, Friday. The suit was
brought by five children of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry McCrone to re-
cover about $50 due them in wages.
The propIietors of the mill did not
deny that they owed the amount,
but claimed that when the attach
ments were served out the wages
were not due the children until
payday and, therefore objected to
paying costs In the case. The
children swore they were discharg-
ed and did not quit their jobs of
their own accord. They also claim
ed that when they demanded their
back wages the manager, Alfred
Kershaw, refused to pay them.
The magistrate decided that the
evidence showed the plaintiffs had
been discharged, and gave a yer-
dict for the full amount sued for,
defendant to pay all costs, lnclud-
ing attachments.

Telegraph Line foreman, in charge
of a gang of men engaged in remov-

Fortune Founded on Sand.

There is solid citizen of New York
whose fortune was founded on sand.
1t amounts to few millions. James
Everard dug the earth out of the hole
in which sits that architectural mon
strosity known as the general post of
flee. The earth proved to be fine build
ing sand, very scarce article in New
York. "Jim" not only received big
pay for removing it, but sold it for
fancy prices, thereby laying the
foundation of his ample competency.
Prior to this windfall he had been a
patrolman on the police force. In
ten years he would have been captain,
and it is not unlikely that, with cap
tain's graft, he would now own numer-
Gus blocks of real estate-N. Y. Press.
