Miss Hampton and Her Secret.

G FR ARTHA wouldn't of took any IM thing fur being around Miss H M Hampton, she said. Miss Hampton was kind of quiet and sweet and pale looking, and no body ever thought of talking loud or raising any fuss when she was around. She had enough money of her own to run herself on, and she kep' to herself a good deal. She had come to that town from no one knowed where years ago and bought that place. Fur all of her being SO gentle and easy and talk ing with one of them soft, drawly kind of voices, Martha says. no one had ever dared to ast her about herself, though they was a lot of women in that town that was wishful to.
 But Martha said she knowed what Miss Hampton's secret was, and she hadn't told no one, neither. Which she told me and all the promising I done about not telling would of made the cold chiIls run up your back, it was so solemn. Miss Hampton had been tilted years ago, Martha said, and the name of the jilter was David Armstrong. We'll, he must of been a low down sort of man. Martha said if things was only fixed in this coun- try like they ought to be she would of sent night to find that David Arm strong. And that would of ended up in 8 mortal combat, and the night would have cIeaved him.
 t'Yes," says I. "and then you would of married that there night, I sup pose.''
 She says she would of.
 We'll says I, ''mebby you would of and mebby you wouldn't of if he cleaved David Armstrong that night would likely be arrested fur it''
 Martha says if he was she would wait outside bis dungeon keep 6ur years and years till she was a old wo- man with gray in her hair, and every day they would give lingering looks at each other through the window bars And they would be happy that-a-way.
 We'll, never took no stock ia them mournful ways of being happy. couldn't of rig up to being a night fur Martha She expected too much of without saying anything, and I tried to make myself believe I would of liked all that night business. But 1t wasn't no use pretending. I knowed would get tired of it.
 So I changed the subject and asts her why ain't seen Miss Hampton arcund the place none. Martha says she has bad sick headache and atD't
 been outside the house fur four or five days. I asts her why she deu't wait on her. But she don't want her to Martha says. She's been staying 1T the house ever since we been in towr and jest wants to be let alone.

 teWell, them says, t4she must be a witch And if she is a witch why is she scared of them a-tallP"
 But Martha says if you have second sight you don't need to be witch to see them in the daytime.
 Well, with all the talking back and forth we done about them ghosts we couldn't agree. That afternoon 1t seem ed like we couldn't agree about any thing knowed we would be going away from there before long. and I says to myself before I go rm going to have that girl fur my girl, or else know the reason why, Ne matter what was talking about. that idea was in the back of my head, and somehow it kind of made me want to pick fusses with her, too We was setting on a log, purty deep into the woods, and there come time when neither of us had said nothing fur quite spell. But after awhile says:
 Martha, we'll be going away from here in two. three days now.''
 She never said nothing.

 She says she will be sorry.

 It is known, however, that he is not as we'll as he was when he sailed hast fly on the Caronia May 10, hoping that the sea voyage would benefit his health. He spent much of the winter in Palestine with his wife, engaged in phi1anthropic undertakings among the Jews of that country. His best known philanthropy in this country Is his work for the pasteurization of milk for babies.
 MT. Straus is suffering from ner- vousness of which complaint he has been a. victim since before his broth CT, Isidor Straus and the Iatter's wife went down with the Titanic. He was in Rome at that time, and because of his grave condition the news of the disaster was kept from him for some time. When he finally was told he bore the shock courageousH, but he seems never to have entirely recover ed.
 MT. Straus was met at Quarantine by his son, Nathan Straus, Jr., and Justice Lehman. He and Mrs. Straus remained in their cabin after the yes gel docked fill the other naSsen gers had landed. Then the patient was borne from the steamer to an automo- bile, which took him to the home of his son-in-1aw.

Fire Commissioner Denies Charge That
 He Gave Kin Jobs

New York, June 3.-Miss Juliette Arden, who has been working like g. militant suffragette in the interests of the women whose names appear on the eligible list for appointment in the Fire Prevention Bureau, got her self officially before Mayor Gaynor to- day, when Fire Commissioner John son wrote the Mayor regarding Miss Arden's activities. Miss Arden had not been fully qualified for fire inspector by the Civil Service Commission. and indignant at failing according to Com missioner Johnson. she charged he had given temporary positions to wo- men who were his friends and rela- lives.
 He says he did appoint two women, Mrs Sarah Christopher and Miss Lau- ra Grant, but only after the Mayor he gave two months work to Miss Marguerite Major, a graduate nurse out of employment, who, two years ago. had administered to his two daughters, who were stricken with scarlet fever.
 The Commissioner concludes his lett ter to the Mayor, adding: Miss Arden has. think, been quite unfair, if not spiteful in trying to make 1t appear that I am opposed to her sex as city inspectors, and explains, there is a separate list of women eligible for ap- pOlnLnenI as 1uSpSCCoIS III lIAs DnEeau of Fire Prevention, but they cannot be appointed because the Fire Proven ton law has been amended so that the Fire Prevention Bureau no longer inspects lofts and factories.

PROBATION TERM
 FOR TROLLEYMEN
 IN OPERATING GAR

New Haven, June 3.-The introduc- ton of a petition providing for the enactment of an ordinance to make it obligatory upon the Connecticut com pany to give men seeking to be mo tormen and conductors fifteen days training under 8 competent instructor considerable interest in the board of aldermen last night. The petition was submitted by Alderman Michael J. Neenan, of the Twelfth ward, at whose request it was referred to the committee on ordinances. It is Alder man Neenan's idea that just as much care should be exercised to see that motormen and conductors are capable as in the cases of chauffeurs, who are forced to secure a license from the secretary of state and in some states have to prove by an examination that they are competent.
 Alderman Neenan says that he of fered the petition regarding the in struction of motormen and conduc- tors, because he believed that the op- eration of a trolley car was dan gerous and responsible occupation. He said that he thought the public should be protected in every way against highway accidents. He pointed out that the trolley company at the present time has such a rule in force already and that the trolley officials must therefore admit the need of such a precaution. He only plans to make an ordinance of what is now merely a company rule, he claims.

DESERTED VILLAGE
All of Its Three Hundred
Thousand Visitors Have
Returned Home.
(National News Association

WASHINGTON, March o. Wash
ington today reminded one somewhat
of the desolation pictured in Oliver
Goldsmiths classic, The Deserted
Village"
Most of the hundreds of thousands
of persons who came from all parts
of the nation for the suffrage and i'll
augural parades are gone: the gaily
decorated stands were being demol-
ished, flags were furled and slowed
away in the attics once again and the
bunting and streamers no longer flut-
ter in the breeze.
The city has settled back to a pro-
sale existence after two of the gayest
days in its history and the lightning
change wrought In a few hours almost
seems uncomfortable.
Long before the parade ended yes
terday the crowds rushed toward the
home. Trains were run at intervals
of every minute but more than
100000 visitors were unable to get
either seats or reservations until late
today although many of them waited
all night at the Union depot.
With the departure of the crowd the
hotel keepers expressed their perfect
willingness to rent rooms at their old
rates and the restaurants tucked away
their special menu cards and dis
played once again the ones in use last
week making it possible for a person
OF moderate means to eat without wiz,

1t is conservatively estimated that
the 100000 visitors that came here for
the dual celebration left at least
$7.000,000 in the pocketbooks of the
tradespeople of this city

GUEST HOUSE MAKES
PLANS FOR CAMP |GN
At Meeting Last Evening
Purposes of Organization
Were Explained.

A large and interesting meeting of
the board OF directors of the Guest
House Association and the Auxiliary
was held last evening in the CONNER
cial club rooms with Charles Jordan,
president of the Auxiliary, in the chair.
For the benefit of those present for
the first time, the purposes OF the
Association were briefly gone over by
Mr.. Jordan, these being, namely, to
erect a building where girls who are
Obliged to earn their living may find
comfortable and economical home.
This will not be a branch of any
national institution, or Y. w. c. A,
but a local affair entirely, and will be
non-sectarian, and open TO any woman
who desires to live comfortabley with
out excessive expense.
The amount that had been decided
upon by the originators OF the associa-
ton is one hundred thousand dollars.
Those directly interested are the
board OF directors of the Guest House,
made up of nine members, Ave OF
whom are officers, and the Auxiliary
which has it's own officers and which
is at present made up OF eighty people
It was decided at last nights meeting
TO augment this number to one hun
dred and twenty, each one to be viii
ling to take active part in the propa

The site of the old business colleg
on North Eleventh street has bee1

END LIVER TROUBLE
WITHOUT CALOMEL
Untrustworthy Drug, Thought to
Loosen the Teeth, Now Made
Absolutely Unnecessary.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets -- the
substitute for calomel-are the mild
est, but surest laxative known, and
their effect on the liver is almost
instantaneous. They are the result
of DR. Edwards determination not TO
treat liver and bowel complaints with
caiomel DR.. Edwards has been cal
omel's uncompromising foe. His eff
forts to Danish 1t brought out these
little olive-colored tablets, a rare COM
bination of vegetable compounds mix
ed with olive oil. These pleasant,
harmless little tablets do all the good
that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take calomel at ALL
but to let Olive Tablets take their
place.
Most headache, "duliness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and disordered liver, Take Olive
Tablets when you feel "loggy' and
heavy" Note how they clear the
clouded brain and how they ''perk
up" the spirits.
At 10c and CSC box. Every little
Olive Tablet has a movement all its
own"
