she is twice as strong looking as
Gertie. Isn't she perfectly horTid?
Oh, what will Gertie do?"
And then Mrs. eMyer went on
again, still more stupidity:
Huh! l thought i was through
with my working and my worry; l
thought l could have a lay off from
that steam laundry where / slave
away my life. You come home, you
say you've got a job, and it was a
classy job, with fancy money; and l
was so glad. Now what? Tomorrow
l should go back to that laundry?
Hennie and Rude send back to that
pest house? Oh, Gertie, you done me
a rotten trick when you screamed.
You forgot you had mother; you're
a thankless, heartless girl"
And then that foolish philosophy
when Gertie asks in frightened
voice if her mother really wanted her
to- H5s.
Wanted you to do what? l know
nothing about it-all / know is if
girl has some sense she always takes
care of herself without giving up
jobs" a.Sr
Of course, it. has a happy ending.
Even Scott, the reue, escapes,
through his stepson's generosity, the
disgrace of having his wife know just
what a low-down cad he has been,
and for him, too, there promises to
be happiness-until he sees another
pretty face on the shoulders of
young stenographer.
And Jack and Gertie are to be mar
ried, and live happy ever after.
But do not believe simply can't

mitted to the caresses of a creature
of SCOTS type rather than that she
should lose job.

THEY SAY THIS is TRUE

Washington, Jan. 24.-'Nuts" and
"Anti-Nuts" is the way strangers and
frequent visitors to the White House
grounds are classified. The squirrels
who live in the trees that guard the
approach to the presidents house
have made the classification. Here's
how the White House attaches say
they know the story is true:
The squirrels, according to White
House attaches, can spot a stranger
the minute one enters the grounds.
They have got to know. the small
army of newspaper correspondents
congressman, foreign diplomats and
others who make frequent trips to
the executive offices. They are said
to have been able to make their dis
tinction because the strangers, hav-
ing learned about them, always
bring peanuts and other goodies" to
feed to them. The frequent visitors,
being on business bent, don't have
the time to stop and feed the squir-
rels; and the little animals know it.
They will perform all sorts of tricks
for the strangers in the hopes of get
ting nuts and goodies" such as
climbing up their clothing, or sitting
on their launches and begging for
nuts. They pay no attention to the
frequent visitors At least White
House employees say so.

deep thinkers and honest writer's took occasion one
to express himself concerning certain political boss whom ne did
not like personally but whose sterling qualities he recognized
He valued the man for his proundV of knowledge or tor
grace and character but for his unfag sense and tor
certain rockrbbed honesty Said Scott u don't like his
CWard business nevertheless it takes very much OF man to
be- political boss Just consider moment what the elementary
qualities of his character must be- First of all he must have hon.
esty No man who lies find support other men, NO man
who is careless about his word have the respect OF other
men, No man who lacks loyalty command loyalty am
pretty much of the opinion that it takes more OF man to be
good political boss than does be bishop Now your bishop
must either be bit of blank fool something OF hypocrte
Either would be fatal political boss Now there Ward;
have known him for forty years would accept his word as
final with respect any upon which he presumed to have
knowledge would leave uncounted money his possession
would rather have his judgment upon question within his range
than any other man know. When to sterling qualities
combined with working don't know Wards equal And
guess when it comes the sentimental de bishop hash
got much on Ward would leave my estate IN his hands
as anv man know And would about lief he would council

ter of interest to society. A group of matrons and maids will go from Birming- ham and always there are many veterans and sons of veterans who pay this tribute of appreciation and interest to the Lost Cause so long ago. In reference to the sponsors and maids who are to be at the reunion southern daily says:
 ''They are known as the official ladies of the meeting, entertained as such and courted by the entire social fabric of the south. The origin of the sponsors and the maids custom at Confederate reunions is familiar. Twenty odd years ago a Mis- sissippi camp of Confederate veterans ap- pointed Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Jefferson Davis, sponsor at a reunion. Miss Davis. in turn, appointed a couple of her young friends to be her maids of honor. This incident, intended at the time as a temporary honor for the family of Jeff ferson Davis, became a custom and now every organization in the United Confed- crate Veterans association appoints spon- sors and maids of honor and chaperon and matron of honor. The Sons and Con- federate Veterans, following in the foot steps of their fathers maintain organiza- tions in every southern states, and hold their reunions on the same dates. The crowning event of each reunion is the annual ball for maids and sponsors. Per haps all of the maids and sponsors have already been appointed. While many of the ladies who are known throughout the south as social leaders at Confederate re- unions will attend, several hundred young women, who have never appeared beore in official capacity at a reunion, have been appointed to stations of honor. They come from the south's best families, are leaders in social circles and will grace the reunion They are granddaughters and great granddaughters of the Confederate leaders in the civil war"
