FIND LETTER LOST
FOR ELEVEN YEARS

DENER, Sept. 30.-Harriett
Tolley IL years ago mailed to her
husband in Pueblo a certificate
of deposit for $3.50 in the Denver
National bank. The husband,
Geo. H. Tolley, failed to receive
the letter in which the certificate
was inclosed. Efforts were made
made to trace it without avail.
The bank issued a duplicate GER
tificate, but required the Tolleys
to file a bond guaranteeing the
against loss should the original
certificate fall into other hands.
The original certificate was
found recently in Pueblo and
mailed to Mr.. Tolley. No expla-
nation was made as to how it got
there. On presentation of the
original certificate at the bank
the indemnity bond was released.

BOSTON, Sept. 30.-That the
contest against Senator Lodge
waged by Butler Ames and his ad-
herents will prove fruitless Is the
general belief following the selec-
ton of republican nominees to the
legislature. Reports from all
parts of the state show that only
the northwest part of the common
wealth, along the Merrimac valley,
has gone insurgent, and it is be-
lieved that Lodge will have more
than a working majority when he
comes up for reelection. The
Lodge followers are jubilant to-
day over the showing made in the
selection of candidates.

MOTORING MAKES US
CARELESS, SAYS SHE

BERLIN, Sept. 30.-A Berlin
society leader, who has just re-
turned from the United States,
says that the craze for motoring
which pervades all classes. in the
United States is causing such
|carelessness in dress that the rep
utation of Americans as the
most elegantly dressed women in
the world is vanishing. They are
now wearing the simplest kind of
wash dresses, cheap and ready
made, the cost of motoring max
ing the expense of elegant attire
impossible. American women are
also doing their own housework
in order to keep up the cost OF
automobiling, she says.

Superior of Mount St. Joseph
Asylum Says ''Buy Candy"
but They Refuse

As the little maids of Mount St.
Joseph's orphan asylum were playing
in the garden of their temporary home
at Ellis and Franklin streets day or
two ago they found among some rub
bish left behind by the business cor
poration which at one time occupied
the house handful of dimes and
nfckels.
Shrieks of delight went up at the
the trash with view to getting every
small coin. Rushing into the house
with their money they sought Sister
Helena, the superior. TO tell her of
their treasure. She thought that the
purchase of sweets or toys would cause
the expenditure of the last cent-but
she reckoned without her orphans.
Children Prove UnSeIfiSh
Take 1T, sister" they urged, take
it all and use it for something you
need here. We would rather give it
to you to spend for things to put in
the place of what was lost"
This is indicative of the spirit which
has prevailed among the children from
the first. Unselfish, cheerful and in
dustrious have they been during the
days since the fire which rendered them
homeless and deeply appreciative of
the kindnesses and generosity of the
public.
The Calls fund for the orphans has
grown astonishingly. Each day brings
offers of new means OF aid Benefits

or another. All the city is awakening
to the needs of these hundreds of little
children, bereft first of parent or
parents and then of their home-an
orphan asylum, to be sure, but truly
a beloved home to them.
Heavy Expenses Involved
But the expense of maintaining the
temporary home at Franklin and Ellis
streets is surprisingly great. First
must be reckoned the monthly rental
OF s4oO for the house, then the cost of
feeding this band of children, which
within the week will number nearly
400; the clothing to be purchased to
supply them with enough to live
decently and the furniture to make the
house habitable.
Besides there. are many minor and
unexpected expenses. The sisters have
to plan carefully.
