ton.

During the fifteen years the Capital
Building & Loan association have been
in business in Topeka they have made
it possible for about 1000 Topekans
to own their own homes by assisting
them either in the construction of
new dwelling or the purchasing of one
already built. BY the modern meth
DDS and easy payment plan of this
company, it is possible for any reliable
wage Garner to own his own home.
and as the loan can be paid back to
the association like rent, each monthly
payment reducing the principal and
interest, there is no reason why one
should continue to pay rent. The
officers of the Capital Building & Loan
association are all we'll known, relia BILE
business men, and the association has
a capital Of $1,000,00O.

to enjoy the freedom of the open coun-
try which she never tasted In her home
in Jersey City Heights that indirectly
caused her death. The chance to GO
hunting for hickory nuts and climb
trees had been denied her until yes-
terday, and when it came she was SO
eager to take advantage of It that she
gaily ran the risks that led to her
death. She lived but a brief time after
a fall of thirty feet from a hickory
nut tree.
Owing to the fact that her late home
has not been put in shape yet, the
family having removed to West Orange
from Jersey City Heights only Wednes-
day, the girl will be buried from the
undertaking parlors of Gustave Kunz,
in Centre street, Orange.
1t was while shaking hickory nuts
from a tree on the grounds of Charles
Browning, in Llewellyn avenue, West
Orange, late yesterday afternoon that
Gladys was killed. She Is a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Whittier Laws,
of Is Mckinley avenue. that town, and

the most venturesome of the little girls.
and climbed up the tree to a limb
where the nuts were plentiful. She was
busy shaking the limbs when q foot
slipped and she was precipitated to the
ground. Her sister Marion ran
up and held the unconscious girl unit
the frantic mother, summoned by one
of the children, rushed over.
The injured child gave her mother a
single glance of recognition, then lapsed
into Inconsistencies. Policeman Nc
Cormack, who had been attracted by
the screams of the children, sent for
the Record ambulance. The child was
hurried to the hospital. but she was
past aid and soon expired.
Mr.. Laws hurried to the hospital, but
when he arrived his daughter was
dead. i
The girl in falling had landed on her
head and shoulders.
The girls father. John Whittier
Laws, having just secured employment
with the Edison factory, in West Or
ange. had decided to bring his family
nearer his work. and took up his resi-
dence at Is Mckinley avenue on
Wednesday. He started work on Mon
