The old adage that the poor are the
best friends of the poor was instanced
in the story of a chambermaid, who is
a young widow with two children to
support. After lingering sickness the
Younger of the children died, and the
Young mothers bank account having
been depleted from defraying the ex-
Denses of the weeks of medicine and
doctors visits, she was obliged to con-
tract a debt at the undertaker'S. After
that she paid a small monthly Install
ment until the bill was half settled,
when one day there came through the
mail receipt for the remainder The
receipt was accompanied by a badly
written and blotted note from a scrub
woman in a large uptown hotel, who
knew of the trouble, knew the family
and the circumstances, and in her note
explained that she had no family nor
enough to support herself and that she
wanted to use this surplus money for
the little mother, who needed all that
she could make extra to support the
remaining child. AS scrubwomen re-
ceive only 80 or 70 cents a day, one
will readily appreciate the spirit which
moved one kind soul to help another

The cheers that followed this pithy ac-

asked for moments attention.

YOU our room," the boys cried In one
voice.
So that is how it happened that the
next Monday afternoon, after school
hours, Miss Bradbury was escorted by
her father to the club room of the Presi-
dents Own, and she seemed much inter
ested in all she saw.
'See what a nice, big closet the club
has," said the general, pointing to door
which was ajar, disclosing the parapher-
MALTA of athletic boys.
May look inside just once" she
asked exchanging a glance with her
father.
"Oh, do" they answered.
And it was then that, reaching up to
the shelf on which the baseball caps were
tossed. the girl felt under them and drew
out the lost wallet, its contents undis-
turbed.
The Presidents Own stared at Miss
Bradbury as If she were a magician, but
she only smiled and told them that she
had mistrusted that it was there ever
since her father had told her about its
loss.

sympathetically, much surprised.

THE men about the stable might have

at the realization that he had uninten'

Half-past o'clock that evening found
the Presidents Own assembled upon the
terrace of the general, helping him to
adjust the most elaborate fireworks dis

dreamed Of.
The generals pretty daughter and

Pop said that independence was the
greatest thing he knew,
And when my daddy says thing it's
generally true.
1t helps man to triumph for the right
and send his foes
Up where the great Salt river Is, up
where the woodbine grows.
But woe is me that it should be;
1t didn't work that way with me,
And this is how 1t was, you see:
On July Fourth when got up I'd set
tied in my mind
That I'd be just the freest Of the inde-
pendent kind;
I'd have my way all through the day, no
matter what should hap,
And that Is why face down l lie across
my daddy's lap,
And that is why cry, "Oh, my" as he
lays on the strap.
He told me just at breakfast time to
help him feed the cows,
And when said l wouldn't we'd the

Just as he said l ought to be,
And then l skipped. All, woe Is me!

And then there was the deuce to pay,
For when l got back home that night
My daddy's wrath was out of sight.
He wouldn't hear a word from me
About the glories of the free,
But simply put me on his knee
And gave it to me-one, two, three
From which | judge that while it's clear
That independence has no peer
For nations fond of liberties,
1t doesn't do for families,
Else pop has gone and changed his mind
Or mine was not the proper kind.
