ment from Toxic, the japanese, in adj
dition to the ships already named, cap
tured the Russian battleship Sissoi

FIRST CITIZEN OF wARRENPORT

Miss Betty was small and wrinkled
and faded; nobody knew how old she
was; there were men and women in
Warrenport who remembered her
from their childhood as the same odd
little figure, with the purple-rlbboned
cap perched on top of her ragged
brown wig, and kind eyes peering
through heavy, oldfashloned spec
tacles. Yet had any stranger shown
amusement at Miss Bettys appear
ance, he would speedily have been
made aware of his mistake, for in all
Warrenport there was nobody so
warmly loved as this same little
wrinkled old woman.
What did she do? She would have
said in honest surprise, nothing at all:
it was the one sorrow of her life that
she had so little to give. But-well,
for instance, when Jim Pearson passed
her house one morning, his young face

Yback the respect Of his ne.ghbors, Miss
Betty happened to be out in her gar

to him.

been "up" before he reached her gate.
went on with a different look and
manler step.
Then little Mrs Davis came down
the road with the baby and the other
baby in their carriage, and stopped to
pour out her Encouragement because
she could not, with one pair of hands,
keep both babies immaculate and the
house in spotless order.
