1T GOT THROUGH.

1t was during the height of the tele-
grapher operators strike. Out of the
sixty y-fve regular wires between New
York and Chicago only one was working,
and that was devoted TO the sending Of
cusswords between the officials OF the
Company.
No operators. No click-click. No quota
tions.
Then a young lady suddenly appeared
at the New York Office. She was hand
some and stylish and anxious. She sat
down at a table and hurriedly pulled OF
her gloves and drew a blank telegram to-
wards her. The Office manager saw her
and approached and said

replied.

"No, but that makes no difference. This

but you will have TO write and send by

"But there is no time He must have his
answer this forenoon. You see, he has
written pe, and the answer Is to go at
once, and II 1t doesn't go, and IL he
doesn't get It"
Tears came to her eyes and she choked
up and could say no more. In place OF
further talk she hesitatingly handed over
a letter The manager drew IL from its
envelope and read II. One sentence In IL
was enough. II read:
Yes or no, and that by telegraph"

letter was restored.

WHEN MYRTLE COMES BACK.

When Myrtle comes back to town,
The droophg summer lifts its head;
The skies forget they wore frown,
And all my woes are quickly sped.
Methinks the ocean pounds the shore
AS II IL knew II beat In vain,
Since Myrtle watches IL no more
Nor any courtier OF herstrain.
The city smiles. and I'm the park
The grass is greener underfoot;
The tide OF hurry stays TO bark
The patter of her little foot.
She's here: but though she smiles. she

AS though she heard the kissing foam
And saw the bathers plunge and rise
And thought herself too early home.

HELD A PRISONER
 IN BIG HOSPITAL
PECULIAR CASE OF YOUNG LADY, A DESCENDANT OF PRESIDENT ZACHARY TAYLOR, NOW IN NEW YORK.

St Louis. September 5-Ben Von Phul, accompanied by his wife, left St. Louis last night for New York, to try to have Miss Sale Taylor, great-grand-d daughter of President Zachary Taylor, discharged from the psychopathic ward at Bellevue hospital She is alleged to have been put there for the purpose of keeping her out of the way of her employer. Mrs. Laura Blossom of St. Louis, whose wealth is estimated at more than a million dollars.
 It Is alleged by the Von Phus that a rich New Yorker who by marriage is dstantly related to Mrs. Blossom. has for a long time been envious of the inti- mate friendship that Miss Taylor has been occupying at the home of Mrs Blossom and is afraid that she would ln- herlt the fortune. Mrs. Blossoms only son died three weeks ago. Miss Taylor, who is a trained nurse, is q sister of Mrs Von Phul. It appears that Mrs Ben Von Phu has received letter signed by Miss Taylor from Carmen, N. Y, where 1t had been picked up alongside a railroad track. The letter from Miss Fay Tor said she was being held a prisoner and asked for help.

MT.

LUMBER INSPECTION.
New Grades Will Probably Be Created
 By Mill Men.

Philadelphia, September "A number Of lumber manufacturers and owners of sawmills held q conference here today on a proposed creation of new grades in yellow pine inspection. The outcome of the conference is of importance to the lumber trade throughout the country. The opposition to the proposed change in inspection came from the southern dele gates. The rule at present in force was adopted in 1905, and the sawmil men sa 7 1t is satisfactory. The manufacturers in- sist, however, that the present inspection and grading of the timber carries with it higher prices. A perfect system, they believe, would lower prices
 The conference was inspired by this tle- ment. The lumbermen represent various organizations, including the Georgia Flor ida Sawmens association, South Carolina Lumber association, Baltimore and Phild- delphia Lumber exchange, New York Yel- low Pine exchange and the New York Lumber Trade association.

 Mr. Lewis told the mayor that no thought he was fit to pull off any kind d the profits that he expected to make in the hardware business during the next seventy-five years that if he was given a fair and unbiased trial (this does not refer to the McInary triaD he would be proclaimed a king pin. 1t is understood that his honor has the matter under consideration, and 1t Is jast within the bounds of possibility that the honorable deep voiced alderman will be given q chance to show just how much skill he is possessed of.
 Gardner Goodwin also wants a chance to demonstrate his prowess as a whip" and if after a rigid examination, which will be held for the purpose of showing just how well he can control This temper" he too will have a shot at the bell cord.
 It is not thought, however, that he will be able to hit the ball. from the fact that he Is kept so busy each day making and breaking social engagements that he has been compelled to neglect the study of animals, and naturally, fin order to hold the reins over the plug that has been dedicated to the bell wagon, one has to be jam up Goodwin was forced to admit the fact that not long ago that the nearest he ever came to driving anything was about thirty four years ago when he was forced to drive a team of oxen at a lumber camp.

 His trial will take place next Wednes- day afternoon at 4 o'clock in the park controlled by MT. E. Fl. Lopez.

In some of them perishable property is tied up and hardship Is resulting therefrom. Judge Hundley has been away from home on his vacation. For some unknown reason it is not deemed expedient to ap- point a referee in bankruptcy for this city, and therefore petitions are being tied up and property hampered until law yers and petitioners are puzzled, while creditors are fairly tearing hair and cursing the laws delay.
