london's Homeless,

On the night Of February 8 last
1908 persons were found homeless In
London, this being the smallest mum
Der on record. The figure was made
up Of 97S men. .2l3 women, and II
young persons. The night was wei
at first. then fine. and not cold: %
men and % women were found on
staircases and under arches. ,>
The London county council report
which publishes these figures. states
that although the number Of home
less women was less by 1903 than In
1911. there was no corresponding in.
crease in the use made Of common
lodging houses, casual wards. and free
shelters The districts where most OF
the men were found were the city.

and Islington, II.

atty was expected. She insisted upon
his waiting while she demonstrated
to him the correct way Of dealing with
broken collar-bone. A pad being
necessary to place beneath the pa
TENTS arm. and her father being In a
very great hurry, Elizabeth could
think OF nothing better suited to her
needs than a sponge. She accordingly
fetched one. and placed 1t beneath
her parents arm, and. unfortunately,
she realized too late that a sponge
should be carefully squeezed before
being placed upon court suit of vel
vet.
But even II Elizabeth's zeal did at
times outrun her performance, her in
tentions were undeniably good. and
her family. though not we'll versed
themselves in the subject of "first-
aid" was Justly proud of their patri-
otto daughter.
The first course of lectures was
drawing to a close. the examination
was at hand. and what Elizabeth felt
she most needed was practical expe-
rience.
She roamed the park daily In search
Of accidents. She frequently visited
the Rotten Row. and found herself
fervently longing that some unfortu-
nate individual might see At to break
. limb. Elizabeth's search, however,
remained for many weeks unrewarded.
She became quite respondent, and in
deed almost lost her faith in the dead
liness Of motor buses. Had she been
able to drive her own car. doubtless
her efforts would have frequently met
with success; but Richards, the chauf.
feur. who had suffered acutely in
Elixabeth's hands more than once, was
wise enough to drive even more pru-
IDENTIFY than ever.
Elizabeth now never left the house
without pair OF scissors and q box
OF safety pins In her pocket. She
relied upon her petticoat. or even her
skirt. for bandage. and carried an UNI
brella In all weathers. which in an
emergency could quickly be converted
into splint.
At last the great day came: but un-
fortunately II did not come at time
when Elizabeth was entirely prepared.
She was going out to lunch. and con-
sequently was magnidcently clothed

PRICES on TIES

The Great Northern has again BE-
gun buying their annual supply OF
ties and notices tackled up
at the depot. state that they will
accept all ties cut according to
specifications and piled upon their
r!ght-of-way in the territory be.
tween Essex, Mont, and Dean, Wash
The prices offered for the ties
this year are a little better than
they were year ago. They will
now pay IS cents for a Mol tie and
20 cents for No. 2. The prices
last year were 80 cents and Is
cents respectively, but the specifi-
cations are changed considerably this
year SO that 1t does not make it
any easier for the tie-maker. There
Is only a difference of an inch in
width between No. 1 and No.
tie, which is very slight.
This announcement on the part
of the railroad company will nc
doubt bring about a revival in the
tie cutting business in this part OF
the country which has been rather
quite for year or so.

EXPRESS COMPANIES ADOPT
NEW SYSTEM OF WAY BILLS

According to orders from unked
States commerce commission the
express companies have been
compelled to adopt an entire new
system OF bookkeeping. and way
bills. which went tnso effect .septem-
Der |. and now the messengers and
the agents are having the trouble 81
their life trying to study out and
get familiar with the, new i,stri-
cacies.
Beginning the first of the month
all the express companies in the
county are compelled to adopt this
system. which is uniform all owe.
except for the fact that each COM
.pany has their own name on the
various forms OF way bills and
books.
From now on no express messenger
Is allowed to accept any piece OF
express that has not got the proper
tag pasted on it. 1t Is the duty Of
the express agent to paste these
on, and one of the very important
accessories to his new office sup
plies is a can of glue with which to
paste these labels On everything.
While this adds considerable work
to the agents duties. it makes the
work for. the express messenger
lighter. except in case Of a local run
when he will be compelled to do
the pasting act
Commencing Sunday morning the
new stationary supplies were dealt
out to each express messenger as
he reported for his run. and Express
Agent Coffin spent the greater part
Of his Sunday afternoon studying the
instruction sheet in order to learn
how to bill out packages properly
the next morning.
h. Another matter that the public
must consider in regards to this
new system Is that they cannot come
running down with = package at
the last minute and expect to get
1t out on that train. The instructions
read that the agent shall not &C.
cept any packages that have not
been filed In his office at least an
hour before train time. This is done
In order that he will have ample
time to hill the nackapes nrCnorlv

RETURNS ARE BEING
RECEIVED SLOWLY
Seven Counties in Missis-
sippi Have Not Yet
Filed Report

Jackson, Miss, November l5.-tSpecial)
There are seven counties, one of them
joining this county on the north, that
have not sent their returns on the election
held a week ago to the secretary of state.
These seven counties are Bolivar, DeSoto,
Issaquena, Madison, Marshall. Quitman
and Sharkey. Under the law the county
commissioners are really allowed 10 days
in which to get their returns down to
jackson. and these seven seem to be
taking all the time that is due them.
The 70 counties that have reported show
the total vote for electors to have been
81 ,421. OF these the bull moosers re-
oeived about 1900, the socialists In the
neighborhood of 1000 and the republicans
a smaller number
The vote of these 70 counties on the con-
stitutional amendments is: For the first.
2G,6S3; for the second, 27.44O for the third.
24,144. Necessary to carry the amend
ments. 30,11, so that 1t is readily seen
that even amendment No. 2, the three
fourths jury verdict In civil cases, Is lost
by more than 5000 votes, and there is no
prospect that the seven counties yet to
report will change results materially.
