its cash accounts came 70 light at
the treasury department the other day

W officers, and the victimization,
TOO, was not criminal in its nature.
Prior 20 1879 the late Samuel j.
Little Of Georgetown owned four GER
thcates Of 6 per cent. stock Of the
old corporation Of Georgetown. Upon
his death he left a life interest in the
stock to his sister. Mrs. Eliza A.
Ricketts,. and the residue to his minor
children. J. c. Little and Julia A.
Little. In the settlement Of the case
before the probate court the actual
possession of the four certificates OF
stock was passed to Mrs. Ricketts,. so
that she might collect from the treas.
urer, from time TO time, the interest
due her.
Shortly after this United States
Treasurer Gilhllan issued a circular
calling upon all holders OF George

For a nrIde.eleet.


SO many OF my letters are from Just
the dearest girls In the world who
count themselves among the bread
winners; and every once and a while
some one of them is married, and
then all her good friends want to do
all they can In way Of showers and
wedding gifts. when such an ocea-
sion m ] have many queries as to
how and what should be done. Now
this is the way ten girls in an ONCE
did when one OF their number was to
marry a young doctor with very little
money but a splendid fellow for all
that. They called a meeting and de-
cided that at the most three dollars
apiece was all they could spare for
both wedding gift and a shower. 80 It
resolved itself into this admirable
plan. They invited the bride-to.be to
spend n Saturday afternoon with them
at the home Of one OF the girls and,
when the tea was served, they pre-
sented the honored guest with a half
dozen teaspoons, a half dozen forks
and a half dozen pearl-handled knives
and told her this was her wedding
present from the ten. They selected
a stock pattern, so that at any time
more silver could be added, and they
left the marking TO be done as the
bride wished. think this was a most
sensible and satisfactory thing all
around and the combination OF funds
made a fine showing, much more prac-
teal than II each girl had tried to put
her three dollars into a separate gift
