Miss Anne 0attle's modest and
homely valise had been brought
aboard by . leisurely station usher
who set It down and waited with q
speaking palm outstretched. She had
her tickets in her hand, but trans
ferred them to her teeth while she
searched for money in a handbag old
fashioned enough to be called q reti
cule.
The usher closed his fist on the pit
lance she dropped into it and depart
ed without comment. The porter ad'
vanced on her with a demand for
Tickets, please"
She began to ransack her reticule

storing them to place, looking in the
purse again, restoring that, closing
the reticule, setting it down, shaking
out book she carried, opening her
old valise, going through certain
white things blushingly,. closing it
again, shaking her skirts, and shaking
her head in bewilderment.
She was about to open the reticule
again, when the porter exclaimed:
Il see it! Don't look no mo-. J
see it,"
When she cast up her eyes In de
SPAR, her hatbrim had been elevated
enough to disclose the whereabouts
of the tickets. With a murmured
apology. he removed them from her
teeth and held them under the light.
After a time he said:
LAS neah as l can make out from
the-the undigested potion of this
ticket, yo' numba is six"
That's it-six!"

Pm so glad. How soon do we
start?"
I'm about half a houah."
Really? Well, better half an hour
too soon than half minute too late.
She said it with such copy-book
primness that the porter set her down
as a school-teacher. 1t was not bad
guess. She was missionary. With
q pupil-like shyness ne volunteered:
"Yo' berth is all ready whenever
you wishes to go to bald" He caught
her swift blush and amended it to-

Miss Anne Cattle, with prim tim1d1ty.

till everybody else has retired"
The porter retired. Miss Cattle
took out bit of more or less useful
fancy stitching and set to work like
another Dorcas. Her needle had not
dived in and emerged many times be-
fore she was holding it up as weap-
on of defense against a sudden hui
man mountain that threatened to
crush her.

Independently to grip as much OF
Lathrop's hair as it would hold.
Then as Mr.. Wellington shook with
| Joy at the prospect of Dear old
/ Reno!" he began unconsciously to
draw Ira. Lathrop's head after his hair
across the seat. The pain Of it shot
the tears into Lathrop's eyes, and as
he writhed and twisted he was too
full of profanity to get any one word
out.
When he managed to wrench his
skull free, he was ready to murder his
tormentor. But as soon as he con-
, fronted the doddering and blinking
topper, he was helpless. Drunken men
have always been treated with great
tenderness in America, and when Well
lington, seeing Lathroy's white hair,
exclaimed with rapture: "Why, hello,
Pop! here's Pop!" the most that Lath-
rop could do was to tear loose those
fat, cropping hands, slap them like q
school teacher, and push the man
away.
But that one shove upset Mr.. Wei

firemen employed in the mills. electric
light and power houses and similar
industries. at a meeting, tonight, voted
to ask Is per cent. increase in wages.
The increase is asked on the grounds
of the increased cost of living. There

lights and the complete tying up of all
of the mills and manufacturing plants
of the city.

Statement by Manufacturer.

a representative of large corporation
engaged in the manufacture of worsted
and cotton goods and not identified with
The American Wooden Co, said in an in
terview. today:
I want to say for our own people, and
| wish to say it emphatically, they did
not want TO quit work. 1t is true that
shortly before the 54-hour law went into
effect committee of a certain depart
ment wrote me a letter asking il they
could expect the Sc hours pay for the 81
hours time. They added that they did
not demand it, but simply requested us
to consider the issue.
MY reply was that at present nothing
could be done in that direction. We did
not consider 1t fair to our other en-
ployes, and besides the business at pres
ent did not admit of it,
by this ! do not mean that we are not
crowded with orders. We have orders
ahead today. But the general textile
situation is such that it is impossible 70
adjust things differently at present
There are many things in connection
with this business that are not known
to the public and which have led to mis-
Information. 1t is a fact that within the
promising industrial outlook that we were
seriously considering raising wages at the
earliest opportunity.
Il agree that the pay is not what It
should be. But that is largely because
there have been few mills working full
time. This condition was gradually being
adjusted, and l was looking confidently
to the time when there would be plenty
of work for all.
Gin Lawrence there are hardly two es-
adjustments working along the same
line. This has been one reason why it
has been difficult to nnionize the COM
munity In fact, there is no association
among the manufacturers in the sense
that such associations exist elsewhere.
Here everyone has shifted for himself.
Perhaps the acute conditions of today
may bring us all closer for mutual bene-
fits. The variety of products has been
another reason why we want to deal with
our employees in the present instance

Arguments Uncomp|eted
In the BoIduC Case.
Il Will Not Go TO the Jury Be-
fore Wednesday Night.
Strong Pleas Made In Behalf Of the
Three Defendants.

Boston. Jan. 50.-Although evidence
in the case against Mrs. Annie w
Reed of Boston. Miss Mary O'Neil of
Manchester DIR. John D. Ferguson of
Manchester, and Mrs. Jennie F. Shat
tuck eff Boston, all charged with be-
ing concerned in the death of Miss
Marie A. Bolduc of Manchester. was
closed, shortly before noon, today
the arguments We're still uneemplet-
ed tonight, and the case will not go
to the jury. until tomorrow.
Attorney Edward p. Barry in his
argument on behalf of his client, DIR.
Ferguson and Miss O'Neil. claimed
that the government had failed to
make out case against them. and
that both were entitled to a verdict OF
not guilty by the jury. He said the
defendants had not been required to
shost that a criminal operation had not
been performed on Miss Boldue, as the
government had not established affirm
atively the fact that such an opera
ton was performed, the principal wit
ness, Medical Examiner Leary, being
unable to say whether there had been
an operation or not. Il believe" said
Mr. Barry, that il was criminal neg
ligenee that killed the Boldue girl at
the house of Mrs. Shattuek. and the
person who is responsible for the
death is Mrs. Shattuck."
John p Feeney arguing for Mrs.
Shattuck, said that her defence was
the truth and the story she told upon
the witness stand was the truth in
every respect IF DR.. Ferguson and
Miss C'Neil had told the truth" said
Mr. Feeney, perhaps they never
would have been indicted. 1t was pure
cowardice on their part that they let
the matter go on as it did. The fact
that DIR. Ferguson and Miss ONeil
kept the matter quiet until quarter
past one O'Clock, on Friday morning,
Dec. %, when they went to the office
of Deputy Chief Cassidy, in Manches-
ter. stamps the story told by them on
the witness stand as untrue"
Assistant District Attorney Lavelle
argued that Mrs Shattuck was GRIM
inally liable with the other defendants
in that she did things to conceal the
crime The Several defendants
throughout the trial had been divided
by the tactics of their counsel, and
Mr. Feeney in his argument, for Mrs.
ShattuclS had made further division.
The Commonwealth commended that
Mrs. Shattuck was just as guilty or
thise rime as was DIR. Ferguson, Miss
O'Neil and Mrs. Reed If Miss Boiduc
he'd been criminally operated upon be-
fore she came to Boston it could have
been shown, but the defence offered
no evidence to contradict the testi-
niony of Medical Examiner Leary as
To the length of time the operation
had been performed before the girl
died

When a delegate brought upon the
proposition made, last night, by Gov

This body. so far as | am concern

or propositions sent directly to us.
THE Governor has made d sugges-
ton, but we don't know that the mill
owners have agreed to that and if You
accept you will only be placing your
self on the defensive.
There's only one attitude to take
and that is to stick to our original
demands. We have made those de-
mands and the other side has not yet
answered. IL YOU accept any PROPOSE
ton other than the one you demand :
ed. you will break the backbone Of
the strike.
THE mill owners have assumed, up
to now, that they don't need you, tina /
they are running their mills without
you. How do you know that they will
agree to any proposition. Let it coma
directly from them and then we will
act on it.
You strikers have three times voted
to stick to the original demands. We
can't possibly back until we have as
surance from the other side; there

to take"

The Cause Of Colds and q Safe Cure.

A common cause of many colds is
the sudden checking of the unconscious
perspiration by exposure to change of
temperature. Colds, whether taking the
form Of Coryza with sneezing, running
aose, and perhaps sore throat, or with
chilly and feverish symptoms, should
never be neglected in the earliest
stages, serious illness often results
from such neglect.
1t is well to get early to bed, to get
the body well warmed, and most i'm.
portant to have the bowels move freely.
There is no safer or better remedy to
use at the beginning of cold than
IL. F. Atwood's medicine. Two to
four teaspoonfuls will quickly relieve
eongested conditions, drive out impuri,
lies from the system and ward off fur
.her trouble. Always keep bottle in
