Washburn Fund Gets Another Big
Boost Today.

The funds which have been sub
scribed for the benefit of Washburn
college now reach the high mark of
s56,793. Of this amount $5,246 was
received today and the prospects of
getting $4,000 before July /. now
look better than ever. The physicians
of the city have begun to add their
subscriptions to the Washburn fund
which tells why the fund was SO
largely increased yesterday:
The movement to have the different
stores of the city donate ten per cent
of their receipts next Friday to the
cause of Washburn is meeting with
success. Already several merchants
ton of making next Friday a WASH
burn Day: The firms which have SO
far agreed to give ten per cent of
their gross earnings to Washburn are
Clothing Co, Mills Dry Goods Co.,
Warren M. Crosby, Robinson-M Mar
shall & Co., William Green & Sons,
G. NJ. Hill, r. w. Swearingen, H. B.
Howard, E. w. Hughes, Antiseptic
Barber shop, L. S. Woolverton, Mrs.
F. Abmeyer. These names do not rep
resent all that will give ten per cent
to the Washburn fund but are merely
the names of a few who have been
seen in "a short time. Others will help
the fund along as we'll as those whose
names have been mentioned.
Another movement which will
bring results Is movement among
the women of the city headed by Mrs.
Margart Hill McCarter. number of
the prominent women of the city met
at the Copeland hotel this afternoon,
where plans for an active canvass
were discussed and several women are
now among the canvassers for the
fund.

from among the business men of the
city will be secured to help in
the canvass A little over eight
cen thousand dollars is all that
remains to be secured and

with her, and her unfortunate Irsband and
children fled to the lengths of their tethers
Ihen~there was hush. Then there was tea
party. On the fatal afternoon small picked
company of latent enemies would meet. There
would be a fanfare of affectionate greetings,
inch the Importance Of what everybody else
was wearing. Those who wore old dresses
would wish then that they had not come; and
those who saw that, in the company, they were
well clad, would be pleased or exalted, or filed
with the joys Of cruelty. Then they had tea,
which was habit and delight with none Of
them, their usual beverage being coffee with
milk.
Usually the party jerked horribly in the be-
ginning, while the hostess strove and pulled
and pushed to make its progress smooth. Then
suddenly it would be off like the wind, eight,
fifteen, or twenty-five tongues clattering, with
noise like cotton-mill combined with the
noise Of few penny whistles. Then the host;
see that everybody had enough tea and cake.
When the door was closed behind the last
guest, the hostess would usually drop into
chaii and say: THANK heaven! They're
gone There would be no malice in this ex-
preston. 1t simply would be that, womanlike,
she had flung herself headlong at the accom-
plishment of pleasure which she could not
even define, and at the end she felt only
weariness
The value and beauty, or oddity, of the tea
cups was another element which entered large
ly into the spirit of these terrible enterprises.
The quality of the tea was an element which
did not enter at all. Uniformly it was rather
bad. But the cups! Some Of the more am
bilious people aspired to have cups each of a
different pattern, possessing, in fact, the sole
similarity that with their odd curves and dips
of form they each resembled anything but
teacup. Others of the more ambitious aspired
to quite severe and godly "set, which, when
viewed, appalled, one with its austere and rigid
family resemblances, and made one desire to
ask the hostess if the teapot was not the father
of all the little cups, and at the same time
protesting gallantly that such a young and
charming cream jug surely could not be their
mother
But Of course the serious part is that these
collections SO differed in style and the obvious
amount paid for them that nobody could be
happy. The poorer ones envied; the richer
ones feared; the poorer ones continually striv-
ing to overtake the leaders; the leaders always
with their heads turned back to hear oyertak-
ing footsteps. And none OF these things here
written did they know. Instead Of seeing that
they were very stupid, they thought they were
very fine. And they gave and took heart
bruises--fierce, deep heart bruises under the
clear impression that of such kind of rubbish

mother. "She's grown so fond Of it, she loves

her she'd suffer dreadfully. So we always
bring it."
"Oh!" said the doctor. He pictured a little
tin trinket But when the stove was really un-
masked, it turned out to be an affair of cast
iron, as big as a portmanteau, and, as the
stage people say practicable. There was some
trouble that evening when came the hour OF
children's bedtime. Little Cora burst into a
wild declaration that she could not retire for
the night unless the stove was carried upstairs
and placed at her bedside. While. the mother
was TRYING to dissuade the child, the Trescotts
held their peace and gazed with ave-. The in

angel child to her chamber. -,
In the morning Trescott was standing with
his back to the dining room fire, awaiting
breakfast, when he heard noise of descending
guests. Presently the door opened and the
party entered in regular order. First came
the angel child, then the cooling mother, ana
last the great painter with his arm full OF the
stove. He deposited it gently in a corner, ana
sighed. Trescott wore wide grin
What are you carting that thing all over

wellknown domestic lines. He eyed it and
thought it was very pretty, but it did not
move him Immediately. But a certain respect
grew to an interest, and he became the angel
child's accomplice And even if he had not
had an interest grow upon him, he was GER
tain to have been implicated sooner or later
because of the imperious way OF little Cora,
who made a serf of him in few swift SEN
teEces. Together they carried the stove out
into the desolate garden and squatted, it IN the
