NEW ENGLAND'S GRAND OLD
LADY

feeling of sadness has swept over
New England because of the death of
Julia Ward Howe, who has held first
place Among American women for
more than half century. She was
woman of broad scholarship and
we'll disciplined mind; and wha tever
subject she debated or whatever cause
she espoused, she was never irration-
al, but was calm, lucid and impress
sive in her public utterances Age
seemed to have been just an incident
TO life with her, and she never felt
too old to support any cause for the
betterment of the masses or the uplift-
ing of her own sex. She maintained an
abiding interest in all public affairs,
and during the hearings before the
legislative committee of Massachusetts
not long ago appeared and appealed in
behalf of mothers and infants for
purer and cheaper milk for the city of
Boston.
Her most famous composition is
doubtless The Battle Hymn of the
Republic" which was popular in the
days of the civil war and but for the
forty years of good work since added
to her life she might have been best
known and longest remembered on ac-

has been a steady worker for the
cause of humanity and has always
avoided sensational methods.
The following word picture of her
vigor and sense is from the Hartford
Courant, than which no bJter has ap-
peared:
1T was less than two weeks ago
that she went to Northampton to re-
ceive from Smith college the honorary
degree of doctor of humanities. Only
last Thursday her old friend, Frank
Sanborn, was writing of her return
from Northampton TO Newport. and
adding that she is now looking to her
autmunal return to Boston and the
women's club and her italian friends
In the last forty years she had spoken
often in behalf of woman suffrage.
but those who heard her could have
found nothing to suggest either the
methods or the thought of some who
now champion what she so earnestly
believed in. Her own view was ex-
pressed in an address she made at S4
before the Massachusetts legislature.
We shall not obtain suffrage she
said, simply because we want it, nor
shall we fail to do SO because others
don't want it. We shall get it because
it is right that we should. This fair
ly illustrated Mrs. Hoyie's mental at
titude toward public questions. She
had supreme faith that in the long run
the right would win; she never in
sisted that those who did not see
things as she saw them were neces-
sarily wrong. Her temper was as
sweet as her nina slim

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
WHAT EMERY BODICE DID

of his nose was always red. Hickey
hadn't left any will, so nobody knew
how much Emery BODICE would draw
mot long after the funeral. Emery
astonished every one by issuing hand
bills announcing that he would auc-
tion off the stock of the store on the
following Tuesday.
Everybody broke his neck to get
there. Of course, it wasn't exactly in
territorial, but nobody had found time to
explain to Emery his uncle's little lido.
syncrasy in regard to hiding money.
Maybe they were afraid he would
think them forward or perhaps they
thought heaven helps those who help
themselves or remembered that say
ing about silence being golden. Any
way when the auction began as much
Of Purpletown as could crowd into the
store was damned in.
There never was another such auc-
ton like it. The minute a pitcher or
bowl or cup or soup tureen was point
ed by the auctioneer there'd be six
Purpletown buyers on their feet all
yelling at once. Things that had COW
ers seemed to drive 'em crazy and
prices went sky high like shot. 1t
was a perfect. bedlam of voices and
poundings by the distracted auction
eer. Through it all Emery Dodge just
stood around looking uninterested

they'd go back and howl to buy more.
Abe Foster found a dime in a pitcher
and after that the bidding was keener
than ever
THAT night there were enough mad
and disappointed people in PurpletoWn
to have suii>l a ship. Except Abe Fos-
ter's ten cents, nobody found a thing
in his purchases, and all of them had
spent the money they had been saw
ing up for spring suits and trips to
the city and new parlor lamps. And
nobody could say anything for the

Emery collected the bonds in the
safety deposit box and several mort
cages and trifles like THAI and left for
home Purpletown, feeling a grudge
against him, was glad to see him go,
though it seemed a shame for all that
fortune to be wasted on a cheap fell
low like Emery. Somebody asked what
he was going to do now that he had
all his uncle's money.
Emery turned that vacant face of
his and took in the crowd. Then as
the train pulled in he chuckled.
"tOh,' he said. I'll get safety de-

just cut the coupons. But and he
chuckled again. as the $1,476.39 I col

5 1000 in 1907 may now be bought for
$40, or a $500 machine for SI,O65-
and SO on. But this is not the case
The figures need explanation 1t has
been pointed out that the better SIS
cars, those commanding around $4,000
each and upward, still bring these
prices easily; the lessened average
price is due to the fact that the num-
Der of low priced autos marketed

years past it il true also that, despite
the enormous increase in the number
of people buying automobles. only one
new company has in the last four years
entered the manufacturing field to

Purpletown could tell about Hickey $

Hickey had run the general store

Adam. he'd be late to the office II he
didn't hurry.
"TIickeyd walk ten miles to save a
nickel and he never was known TO
spend a cent if he could make the
other fellow do it for him. Hickey
couldn't help being well off, If not
rich, but where he put all his money
was a public mystery.
He ran no account at either of the
banks, though he had a safety deposit
box where he used occasionally to put
away bonds. for the boys in the bank
watched to see. But what he did with
his money while it was accommodating
into thousand dollar chunks was the
question.
Finally, Abe Foster, who could SEQ
farther with his one eye than most
men could with telescope, saw Hick-
ey furtively drop the so cents he had
Just taken in for china plate with
red roses on it into a sugar bowl on
the third shelf This gave Abe an
idea and presently everybody was
watching Hickey dispose of the money
he took in.
IF he had to make change he went
to the drawer, but even money he al
ways dropped careless into some piece
of crockery or other on the shelves
Most of his stock was china and glass
and such stuff. 1t was safe for him
to do this for he slept in the store and
cooked his own meals in g. little back
room.
Now that everybody knew Hickey
kept his savings on the shelves it made
conversation for months. People fig
ured that he must sometimes have
hundreds of dollars hid around his
store, because he bought a 81 900 bond
when he had enough money. Some
times he bought two at a time.
"Just when it was supposed to be
time for him to add another bond to
his collection in his safety deposit
vault Hickey dropped dead. Every
thing he owned went to a nephew in
another town, Emery BODICE. The store
was locked and sealed till Emery could
take charge.
There was considerable curiosity
about the nephew. He didn't look very
bright-sort of spindling and sallow
and with little weak eyes and the end

Eavors Oneninn Coal Mines.

Gov. Clark of Alaske will propose
in his annual report to the president
that the coal lands of that territory
be opened to Development and use and
will favor the leasing of them by the
government. He proposes to provide
for such utilization of these lands as
will insure them against absorption by
nronopolies. and with reference to
their possible utility he says:
Alaska is entirely capable of sup
porting a large permanent population,
but more liberal treatment by the fed
eral government is necessary to the
development of the territory. The
Alaska coal at the present rate of
consumption on the Pacific coast,
would last the coast 5000 years or
more. The coal that Alaska is now
burning is imported largely from for
eign countries and costs SIS a ton.
A few miles away is much better coal
