They were so happy themselves they
wanted to make everyone in the village

to do it. At last some one told them to
ask the wise old woman who lived at
the top of h hill.
"She knows everything" he aid.

They knocked timidly at the door
and a rough voice called out:

The little girls replied together:

we want to stay together.
The old opened wide her
door.
Come right in. children dear" she
said. you shall have your wish"
The next morning the villagers were
amazed to see their steep hill no longer
barren and ugly, but covered with vel
low golden rod and purple asters. The
little girls were nowhere to be seen
and though the people watched fol
them for many days no one in the VII
lage ever saw them again.
But Golden Hair and Blue Eyes were
not forgotten, for every fall when thu
villagers saw the hill all beautiful ir

other:

WASHING DELICATE FABRICS.


Among the many methods prescribed
for washing delicate silk and wooden
fabrics there is none SO simple as the
use of raw potato, instead of soap.
Two good sized potatoes should be
grated fine and dissolved in n pail of
lukewarm water. In 1t the goods are
washed as carefully as in soapsuds,
then thoroughly rinsed. This method Is
recommended as being especially good
for outside garments.

Boysen was subjected to a rigid
cross-examination in regard to
his connection with Mrs. Yer
milya Saturday.
He declared during that ques-
tioning that it was true that Mrs.
Vermilya had named him as her
afianced husband in an insurance
policy in his favor. He declared
that when he saw this policy, he
wrote crazy woman in the
ledger opposite to the entry.
Boysen also confirmed the
story of Mrs. Vermilya's morbid
love of>handling dead bodies. He
said that she frequented his
morgue so much that she became
a nuisance.
The next body to be exhumed
may be that of Lillian Brinkamp,
Mrs. Vermilya's step-daughter.
She died January II, 1906.
The inquest over the body of
Arthur Bissonette, the policeman
whose sudden death it was that
brought about the investigation
that led to the arrest of Mrs.
Nermilya, will be held Friday.
In a cell near to Mrs. Vermilya,
Jane Quinn, now directly charged
with the murder of three hus-
bands, is in a state of total col

New York Having Tough
Time in Garbagemen's Strike
New York, Nov. 13.-With
streets piled high with garbage,
and with the city's health mem
aced by pestilence, there was
every indication today that
Health Commissioner Lederle
would be forced to assume com
troll of the garbage strike and
clean the city up at any cost.
Strikers have offered to sub
NIT their grievances to arbitra-
ton by an civic body Mayor Gay
nor might choose. The mayor has
made the positive declaration
that every man who struck would
be dropped from the city pay
roll, and it is not expected the
matter will be arbitrated.
Strikers are wroth with Mayor
Gaynor, but said if Health Com
missioner Lederle was given
charge of the situation they
would furnish men to clean up the
city, without hope that it would
end the strike, but merely to pre-
vent the epidemic feared. Mayor
Gaynor is being censured severe
ly for not accepting their offer.
