An Ancient ouitI.

The Ashland Tidings relates story
concerning the mother of l. w. Berry
of this city 1t says:
W. H. Bronx, collector for the Ash.
land steam laundry, reports an Incl
dent OF interest that came under his
observation the other day in the
course of his business. In receiving
a quantity OF laundry work from Mrs.
A. M. Berry, at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. e. c. Kane, on Spring
street, the lady warned him to see
that particular care was taken that a
certain quilt was not damaged in the
process of washing as it was of spe-
clal value. Inquiry elected the fact
that the bed cover in question had q
history and was 1913 years old. AS
related by Mrs. Berry, who is herself
advanced in years. 1t was pieced for
the family by a black woman slave
belonging to her grandfather and was
just finished as the news of the bat
liC VI DuhhCi iilll ISdCucu lnc nOilc-
stead Of Mrs. Berry's ancestors, who
lived not far away. The news spread
terror and the American sympathlzers
expected nothing less from the British
red coats than that the latter would
confiscate everything they could
reach. The old negro woman bemoaIS
ing the prospective loss of her quilt
was going to burn it rather than let
the British soldiers steal 1t, but her
master took possession of 1t and
promised that it should not fall into
unhallowed hands. After danger was
past 1t was returned to the negro
woman and Mrs. Berry's grandfath'
er's family afterward fell heir to IL
and 1t has been carefully preserved
ever since. and is still in good condl-
tion, despite its many years Of ser
viceable existence

entitled to this office.
They say this is a strong Republi.
can city, and, with the Republican
party championing the cause of high
school, there is no good reason why
the clerk should not be of that party,
and in full sympathy with the move
ment for better schools.
The school board meets Thursday
and canvass the vote, and Mr.. Lee will
be sworn in, and the clerk will be
elected SO as to take Office at the be.
ginning of the fiscal year, July 1st.
Mr.. Fletcher Chairman.
AT the meeting of the school board
for the purpose of inaugurating the
new member of the board, and of or.
ganizing gy the election of a clerk and
promoting the senior member, which
will be Mr.. Fletcher, to the chair
manship. Under the law it becomes
necessary to meet within 10 days after
the election, and the new member
must qualify within that time, hence
this meeting Is out of the usual order. II
now develops that the nomination and
election of Mr.. Lee Is the result of a
Republican movement. The initial
meeting which led to his selection and
the adoption of a high school pro.
gram was held by large number of
Republicans at the Republican head
quarters, where a nominating com.
mittee was appointed. This commit
tee canvassed the matter of securing
candidate, and finally agreed upon
Mr.. Lee at an adjourned meeting held
at the city library room, when the cir
culation of his petition followed. The
active Republicans who took part in
this movement for progress insisted
that the party should stand for it,
Director Lee interviewed.
The result was a sweeping victory
for Mr.. Lee and the high school plat
form, as all know, and now the Re.
publican club proposes that Republi
can shall be elected clerk of the board.

was seen by a Journal reporter, and

ing to stand for any good Republican
who is competent. and who is en-
dorsed by his party and able to give
good bond. Although they have not
been seen, it is understood that the
two other Republican members Of the
board will favor similar propositions.
Mr.. Lee goes so far as to say that he
is ready and willing to push matters
a little farther, and cut the Office of
clerk loose from any private office,
and even place an Office in the school
buildings of the city, where greater
publicity can be given to all the bust.

"Vel, Vel" said Gloistein. Il will

THE misunderstood GIRL"
Some Causes Of Her Trouble, and a
Remedy.

Who does not know her? for
she is found i'll all classes of society.
and nothing is more fatal to the peace
and happiness of u community q:
household than to count one of these
girls among it's members. As Il rule,
they are not misunderstood at all {:
but. on the contrary, are understood
for too well. for they are taken ut the
valuation of the many. which is more
likely to be true than that which is set
by the individual herself upon her own
character.
A misunderstood girl is often a sell
fish. always Il foolish. girl; for. if she
is clever. she will soon discover the
reason why she is not Il domestic sue
cess.
In some instances we are really mis-
judged. in the same way as we often
misjudge others. But. as a broad rule,
the Judgment formed by the world
or rather. that small portion of it in
which we livc-is more often the true
one.
Nobody loves me at home. they
don't understand me and Mary seems
always the favorite!' the miSunder-
stood girl will say. with a melancholy
ing Of the pity and sympathy of her
friends. But is she? Perhaps her
friends are aware that Mary is more
unseliish. more uniformly cheerful
more ready to fall in with the Whims
and fancies of those around her than
the misunderstood girl.
You are filled perhaps. with the de-
sire of improving your own mind; you

when your sister begs YOU to assist
her in retrimming an old dress, or tc
