REFLECTIONS OF
A BACHELOR GIRL
BY HELEN ROWLAND.

The shortest way TO Heaven or
to hell is via the love route.
limited.
1t may be bad form for a man
10 pay his wife compliments, and
call her pet names In the pres
ence of other women, but it's
awfully good policy.
Many a foolish runaway match
has been prevented by the fact
that a girl didn't have on her
best silk stockings at the critical
moment
Strange how a man will trust
his bosom friends not TO flirt
with his wife. when he knows
perfectly well how he tries to
fiirt with their wives.
II takes real strength of mind
for a man to look disinterested
when his wife tells him about the
pretty widow who has just
moved in next door.
What a tyrannical father re-
CARDS as his iron wilI' is just
"pig-headed stubbornness," when
It comes out of his daughter.
A confirmed bachelor girl Is
one who hasn't married-yet.

TO BAY STATE STOCKHOL OERS::

Judge Putnam of the United States Court
to-day adiudged that the S507.0o0 Income
Bonds. the only outstanding Indebtedness OF
the company, should receive but S107, or
S542 400, and not the S167, or $780, 900, which
has been claimed by the litigants and widely
advertised by the company'S enemies during
the past few days. This decision ends the
long and expensive litigation to which the
company has been subjected during the past
four years, and which has kept it IN the hands
of a Receiver during that time. That stock
holders may have an accurate idea of the use-
lessness of such Receivership, which was Sc
cured by the Income Bonds holders on the
allegation that the company was nsolvent,
have but to say:
The company, after forfeiting its most valu-
able assets because of this litigation and Re-
ceivership, and after paving the above
S542, 400 and over 100000 recelvershlp fees
and expenses. has remaining about 81 900
cash and an offer of about S1,50o,0o for its
going charter and stock machinery. After the
formalities of relieving the Receiver OF his
charge have been gone through, the company
will begin business over again, at which time
/ will lay its plans, IN addition to cash offer
for its assets, before all stockholders.
