that's what suggested the professors agree

a strong bear pressure on barbering prices
that we couldn't overcome. That was

was poor that year out West, and interest
on call loans was hell, so when we put up
prices the brokers couldn't stand 1t and

this statement last night:

Within the past few months he has been
obliged to 60 into bankruptcy and only

Mr.. Mealey was not at home last evening
when a woman called and asked for him.

the piazza being dark, was small of stature
middle aged. hatless and wore a shawl
She carried package which she deposited
in Mrs. Mealey's hands with the words:
Here is little present for Mr.. and Mrs.
Mealey.'
Then she Immediately took her departure,
while Mrs. Mealey took the package into the
house and opened it. Her surprise may
perhaps be imagined when the contents
Of the package were found to be great
chunks of green and yellowbaoks Mrs.
Mealey was almost overcome. but she
managed to count the money, which a
amounted to Sli 100. In the package also,
was card bearing the words: with
best wishes to Mr., and Mrs. Mealey."
Mr.. Mealey's establishment when he
arrived home and was appraised OF
what had happened almost equaled his
wife's. This morning he took the money
to the Greenwich National Bank. where it
was carefully examined and found to be
good. The amount was therefore de-
posted to Mealeys credit.
Mr.. Mealey said this morning that he had
not the slightest idea who could have so
remembered him in his misfortune and
her identity renal ms a mystery.
