seph r. Lotus, who will be the acting

Marsh. c. w. Conway was reelected
treasurer, and for the eighth term Her
bert Burdet was elected secretary

erning board, and Charles G. Andrews

WILL ATTEND CONVENTION
Secretary Burdet will leave in a few
days for Minneapolis, Mimi, to attend
the annual convention of the National
Realty association, and during his alb
sense Treasurer Conway will be the
acting secretary. Mr.. Burdet goes as a
delegate from the local association. 1t
is his purpose to introduce resolu-
ton at the convention favoring an
amendment to the constitution Of the
national organization which. If adopted,
will permit state realty organizations
to become members of the national
body. Mr.. Burdet holds to the view
that such a change would assure the
attendance of a greater number or
delegates from all parts Of the country,
with state bodies providing for the
expense Of making the journeys to the
conventions.
The local board has adopted what
appears to be a simple method of fix
ing the identity and standing of per
sons. firms and corporations con-
nected with the real estate business
as well as ascertaining the names OF
agents for specified property. AS rap
idly as facts are ascertained the regis
ter will be made up for reference and
accurate information
Recently Mr.. Burdet, as executive
secretary Of the State Realty fedora
tion. prepared a letter giving the re-
suit Of close investigation Of an al
legged crooked transaction in real es-
tate near San Jose, Cal. Copies Of the
letter are mailed to persons making
inquiry as to information concerning
the property and the people connected
with the deal.

lsHAr THE BAnIsTERs rEu
Wise Tenement p~slisr Knew BY
Their Condition That the House
! Was Unhealthy.

Many q grewsome bit Of wisdom Is
cleaned by settlement workers. The
other day woman Of ph,lanthropic
tendencies trudged miles looking for
rooms for an unfortunate family that
had to move. After she had made a
selection that would fit their scanty
means the mother of the family went
around to see the rooms before NOV
ing in.
oh" exclaimed that wise tenement
dweller, wed be worse of here than
where we are! This place Is too un.
healthy
How do you make that out?" asked
the settlement worker. 1T strikes me
as being better than most houses of
it's class
The woman pointed to the banisters
which ran up through five flights of
stairs to the roof in a ragged, broken
line.
''Cofiins," she said grimly. That's
what that means. Collins is terrible
hard on banisters. There are too many
deaths here to suit me-
And when the settlement worker
learned that many tenement dwellers
really do judge OF the healthfulness OF
a house by the conditions of the ban
listers she concluded that that place
wouldn't suit her either.-New York

Georqia constabIe's Dilemma.

Cap. Carroll one of the town con-
stables, by direction levied on negro
woman's aged horse and buggy which
had been driven into town. The horse
was blind and SO old that it could
scarcely walk. But to cap it all an
other negro woman claimed two of
the wheels of the buggy and a negro
man the others. So you can imagine
the officers feeling standing there in
the street wondering how to get the
vehicle with only one wheel that could
be touched by even the strong arm of
the law, away, as the woman was re-
turning home afoot. But as luck
would have it, Bill Anderson came
along and proposed to sign an ap-
pearance bond for the property. The
woman was called back, the papers
were signed and Cap. Carroll was the
happiest man in town. for he had
never driven a blind horse hitched to
a buggy with but one wheel.-Dah!onc-

How He Liqhted the Candles.

When John Keats, the poet, lay
dying in Rome, the most faithful
watcher at his bedside was his friend,
Joseph Severn. During the hours OF
darkness, solitary candle Illuminated
the room, and in case. overcome by
WEAKNESS, he should drop asleep and
allow this candle to burn out, Severn
devised plan by which it would light
others automatically. To the base OF
the burning candle he tied piece OF
thin twine, the other end of which he
attached to the wick of new candle
some yards away. AS the old end
died out the expiring flame caught the
twine, on Pickering up it like fairy
star, set light to the second candle.
A third or a fourth was added, and
the invalids eyes never looked in
vain for the cheering light.

There Is no regular national holiday

ignated by the president by proclama-

SO provide by law. The following are
the principal days observed in most of
the states as holidays:

Stcwa rdship Of Wealth.

There is no people in the world like
the American in the number of men
and women who look upon their ditle
TO wealth as involving stewardship and
disposition of income and principal
for public ends. During the last II
years the amount of gifts, in sums of
$4,000 or more, to religious, educa-
tional, philanthropic and civic causes,
has been many millions over billion
dollars, the record for the year just
closing amounting to Sal $780, 900, or
$40, ,000,0 900 more than during any pre-
vious year. Add to this the enormous
sum that is given each year in sums
smaller than $1,000, given either as
regular contributions to religious, edu
cational and charitable causes, or left
as bequests for the same "uplift" ends,
and it begins to appear why the agita
tor against wealth, as in of itself a
pernicious thing, finds this country
less favorable to his revolutionary
propaganda than he wishes it were.
