Lena, Durward, Granny, Joel and

more than natural. The New York

in the matter of receipts, and it has

here very closely to the story wover
so skillfully by Mrs. Holmes.

GOVERNMENT FEARS BIG LABOR
 STRIKE BEFORE MAY DAY
Special from United Presso

Special from United Press1
 Paris, April 13.-Government authori- ties to-day fear that the strike of the button makers at Meru is part of a plan of the general Federation of La bor to stir up trouble in various parts of the country between now and May 1 in order to prevent a concentra tion of military strength in Paris to oppose the threatened revolutionary demon- stration on this date.
 The labor situation at Toulon, Mar seilles and several other important centers in France is acute and out breaks are feared. Rioting at Meru has temporarily ceased owing to the presence of an overwhelming force of soldiers, drawn from the department of Gise and under the command of Gen eral Nico1us. If the wire cutting, ar son and individual outrages are resum- ed, the authorities will place Meru un- der martial law. Representatives from the Federation of Labor are on the scene and encouraging the button makers to fight to the end. The work men demand a continuance of the old wage scale which the manufacturers say they are unable to pay.

GMR. JENNINGS MAKES CORREC-
 TONS

Bridgeport Evening Farmer:-I am not trying to seek newspaper notoriety, neither do I wish to be mfsquoted. My attention has just been called to an item which appeared on Friday, April g. 1909, which you state many interest ing facts were brought out in the Su- perior Court in the appeal from the de- cision of appraisals of benefits and damages. of Nehemiah Jennings & Wife of Black Rock, Conn.
 am not going to state what I did say but will state what I did not say. did not say the property in 1888 was only worth $2, ,000 I did not say I now value it at s22,900. I have never listed the property since we owned it. I have paid the taxes that they claimed, and I claimed they have damaged the prop erty this last year, in making the chan ges that they have made, one-ha1f of it's value. Previous to these changes I considered the property worth be- tween s19,0OO and $20,OO0 to me. I also satted that I supposed between $9,000 and s1O,oO0 would be a fair valuation for the property. I stated if they taxed it for it's full valuation thought that would be right.

Miss Maud Powell and Miss Margaret Reyes are to appear at that time in a program specially arranged for them. Of Miss Powell so much has been said that very little in addi- tion is necessary. She has all the gifts common to great violinists. viz, keen musical sense. which apprehends the significance of each and every shade of tone color. and the consequent ad- justment of dynamic values, and technic so all embracing that doubt full intonations and apparent effort are entirely absent from her playing. The wonder of all those who listen to Miss Reyes is that so great a voice should be Reyes voice is a beautiful organ of luscious quality, wide range. with a wealth of color and splendid carrying power. finely developed and under thorough control. These essential quail itiss combined with authority, musical insight and finish, as well as intel 1ectual powers displayed by Miss Reyes on various occasions, serve to make her work interesting, worthy of the highest recognition.

It was a shame, he kept remarking, that girl like that had to earn her own liv- ing and brush elbows with sordid business world.
 At last-and this was only ten days or so ago-he found himself in the realization of one of his fondest hopes. He met her! It happened out at the beach. She had gone out with her sister, and her sisters gentleman friend and this friend was acquainted with an old friend of our hero who was out there. and things worked out so that everybody was introduced all hands around. The young man of the window on the court and the creature of the window opposite strolled away to talk things over until the next dance should start up.
 'Tve saw you at the window a thou sand times" she began. "Of course never liked to rubber or nothin'. Nav always brought we girls up not to stare at no one, and the boss jest about throws a fit if he sees anybody in the office lookin' as if they wasn't tending strickly to bizz. I never have knew such place to work. I'd have went to some other office long ago only the pays pretty good and I need the cush."
 Thus did she talk on, spreading bad grammar and bromides at every breath.
 The young man danced with her silently and then excused himself His illusion was so rudely shattered that he felt like a man who had been struck over the ear with paving brick. Next week he is going to have his desk moved away from the win- dow.

Calvin a Man Of the World.

Calvin had many advantages. He was not a scholar merely, he was a man of the world. He had travelled was familiar with the life of courts, was on terms of intimate friendship with many of the most distinguished persons of his day. He had a com manding intellect, literary style which was the envy and admiratioon of the learned. He knew law as well as he did theology. French as we'll as he did Latin. His grasp of a wide range of subjects and his attention tc detail were things to marvel at. Add to these an inexhaustible patience and a bulldog tenacity of purpose, vivid human interest and an amazing ca pacity for work, and we begin to un- derstand how it was that this penni- less and sickly foreigner. who came to Geneva in the first instance so utter ly unknown and without prestige as to figure in the records merely as "a Frenchman," ended by setting his stamp so ineffacably upon the place that 1t remains there even to our own day.-Century.-

The Girl Across

The young man who figures in this Is employed in an office in down. town skyscraper. His desk is by win dow that overlooks court. Directly across the court from him another person works at a window. Yes, this person is a girl, of course. There wouldn't be any sense in taking off ones coat and recording lot of facts about two men working at two win dows at opposite sides of court. would there?
 Now young woman, If she be of face and form and garb that consti- tute balm to the optics may be a source of much inspiration-if one may believe all that gets into print. Still, if the truth be known in the case. of this young man. he might have accomplished more for his em- ployer if there had been no haired, rated young creature across the way. way and concentration were things apart. The young man would look at the figure across the court when there were figures on paper right in front of him that he might have looked at. Once he was offered bet ter job with another firm, but he staid where he was for the sake of the view.
 Don't get a wrong impression. It was not in a fiirtatious spirit that the young man gazed absently across the court. The creature at the window opposite was not the kind that couldn't make her eyes behave. She had her lamps under perfect control. There was something about her that dispelled any notion one might have to get familiar without formal intro duction.
 She had sweetly serious counte- nance that made one think she must be a great help to her mother. There was something unusual about her. She had her soft, lustrous hair propped up some with rats, it Is true. but not to extremes. Her eyes were full of gen. tleness and she smiled often. Not at anybody, though-just smiled good humoredly as she took dictation or went ahead with her work.
 The young man across the court d. viding his attention between the two kinds of figures had never heard her voice, but he knew that it was soft and low and resonant. She didn't come to work with a different outfit on leisurely away. 1t was impossible for one to send any wireless. Honest. | know you'd like me" message to her.
