johnson and Paving.

Councilman Johnson has resorted
to every imaginable excuse to block
the paving Of Baltimore street. In
the start he emphasized the declara-
ton that he certainly did want Ball
tlmore street paved and ever after
that proceeded to delay the move
ment In that direction. For weeks
he succeeded in having the matter
postponed on one pretext or another,
untq the council ceased to have pa
thence and wisely concluded 1t was
hest to delay the matter no longer.
This did not prevent Mr.. Johnson
from making further objections every
time he had the slightest opportun-
ity and mp to the very last he held
out against paving, grasping at every
straw to prevent 1t II possible. His
last struggle against 1t Monday night
Just before the contract was award
ed was most pathetic. but 1t was a
case of considering the public inter-
ests rather than his feelings and
that is what the council thought
about 1t.
So. they awarded the contract and
said pave, notwithstanding his pro-
test to the very last. He voted
against paving Just as 1t was claimed
all along he would do, when the
final test came.

The anti-spitting ordinance passed
by the city council is quite sensible
both as to the sanitary point and

existence. Besides, the Woman 5

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HELEN GOULD.

Hold what opinion you like about the telegraphers'
strike.
Most people, those who know what conditions really
are, sympathize with the operators.
You may not.
But there is appeal which the strike has brought out
with which you cannot help sympathizing.
1t is the appeal of the operators to Miss Helen
Gould for sanitary arrangements and for protection
against alleged dissolute who occupy high Offices.
The women operators address their petition to Miss
Gould because she believed to be the largest individual
stakeholder of the Western Union corporation.
Their SEX they say, is Disseminated against. They
complain of disgraceful lack Of convenences
But they say more than this.
They at least officers in positions OF authority
over women and young girls whose characters are al
legged be such to make them unfit for such authority
1t is charged that of these have been depoler OF
women, that has been jailed for his prosecutions that
another dare not leave his present state OF residence for
fear of Imprisonment similar charges, that third is
known to have brought nfany the home he visited
a friend, and that the fourth is drunkard
'Knowing your kindness of heart they write, your
object in lifeo aid suffering humanityyour wonderful
womanly qualities, you being the daughter of friend
Jay Gould, who always ready to give us hearing
we place before you. We beseech you as an
American woman to take up this cause
This petition may be extravagant. In the present
state of feeling the charges may be overdrawn.
But we know that there such men. We know that
in these days when forced into the service
market when young girls must weekly wage, the
opportunity of brutes is thousandfod greater than

A MISUNDERSTANDING

Erred, once more I want to ask
you what is the trouble between
Bond and you. L"
Fred Gordon wheeled from his
Greek lexicon and looked steadily
at John Marks.
Marks" he said, school has
been going weeks. You've asked
me that question, as near as can
make it. 35 times this term. didn't
want to tell you, but l see you
won't let me alone. Sit down
awhile"
The boys were students at Brad
ford college and were members OF
the Alpha Nh, q local frat Of which
John Marks was president. He had
been greatly worried because Of
the dislike Fred Gordon held for
Frank Bond. With serious coun-
tenance, he sat down on the edge
of the study table and waited for
Fred to begin.
Bond Is a bright fellow, and I'M
til a year ago last summer | was
proud of him as friend 1t was a
pleasure to our family to learn that
he was engaged to cousin of mine
of whom we have always been very
fond. Her mother is dead and she
has spent a great deal OF time at
our home. She was at our house
and they-she and BOnd-had
planned to go to concert one eve
ming. Bond was working a! Gram
about 8 miles from home. and was
to come out on the interurban. TIC
make a long story short, Mar
garet waited all evening for him
but he never came. She supposed
of course, he would send note the
next day, but that day passed and
no word came. Day after day, and
week after week went by, and not a
trace of him could we ind. His
friends seemed to know nothing oil
him in Grant even. You can mag
inc my surprise when | met him
| here at college. For a time gave
him any number of chances to ex
| plain, but he grew only more re-
served, and | gave it up. Margaret
| is heart-broken, and has never
been the same girl since. And
can't like Frank Bond; and you
must not ask me to do so, or treat
him as a frat brother.
Fred, old boy" said Marks, after
a silence Of several minutes, 'T'm
mighty sorry. don't blame you
yet, some way think there must
be a mistake. l can't believe Bond
would do such q trick. l wish you
could fix 1t up. I'm going for q
walk. Goodby,"
Six weeks later. Frank Bond lay
Ill of a fever in st. Anthony's hos
pital. Because Of the crowded con
dition of the hospital, 1t had de
volyed upon Alpha M to furnish 9
nurse from among their member
ship. BY the inexplicaDIe within o.
Fate, Fred Gordon drew the fata
card when the lots were cast. He
WAS too loyal to his frat to allow

another to take his place, and had
faithfully watched by the bedside
for weary weeks. Today the
fever was breaking and Fred was
suddenly attracted by the delicious
talk, which had heretofore been too
incoherent for understanding.
Then, I'll tell Margaret and, go
away. But you've deceived me, and
must the best woman living suffer
because my father has sinned?
Such abominable stuff as this Ho-
race is! Dear little Margaret! l
must go?? l can't see her again ?
Oh, God, help me and make her
and me strong! Dear, poor little
girl, how | love her!"
Suddenly he opened his eyes and
after the first bewilderment recog-
nized Fred. who grasped his hand
and cried:
"It's all right, old man. You're
going to get well, and well make it
right with Margaret. want you to
forgive me, but l didn't know. Lie
down and rest. Yes, she's coming
And when Frank Bond awake
from a peaceful sleep Margaret was
speaking her forgiveness.
