ferred with other duties and he
handed his resignation to the mayor.
The mayor gave the letter to his SEQ
retary to file. On election night there
was an informal gathering In the
mayors ONCE to receive the election
returns. Commissioner Comsrford
was there, and as the mayors plural
ity grew larger, Comerford's enthus-
iasm grew greater until he repsntsd
having severed his Connection with
the machine. The mayors secretary
heroically tore up Comeford's letter
OF resignation amid a slave OF cheers.
Tuesday morning, Fitzgerald had
occasion to call Commissioner Conner
ford on the telephone. He was nom
plussed when Comerford Informed
him that he had again changed his
mind and did not consider himself q
member OF the water board any
longer.
"Whaddayu think Of that. mayorf"
asked Eddie" rubbing the wrinkles
out Of his brow.
Hes a great old Tom." answered
the mayor, chuckling. Just then the
police commissioner stepped into the
office to pay few election bets and
the conversation took another turn.

What Mary Gaue

She gave an hour. of patient care to
her little baby sister, who was cutting
teeth
She gave string and crooked pin
and great deal of good advice to the
three-year-old brother who wanted to
play at fishing.
She gave Ellen, the maid, precious
hour to go and visit her sick baby at
home; for Ellen was a widow, and
left her child with it's grandmother
while she worked to get bread fol
both.
She could not have seen them very
often if our Mary had not offered to
attend the door while she was away.
But this was not all that Mary gave
She dressed herself so neatly, and
looked so bright and kind and obl1g.
ing, that she gave her mother thrill
of pleasure whenever she caught slght
of the young, pleasant face.
She wrote letter to her 1atncr,
who was absent on business, and gave
patient attention to long story by
her grandmother, and when 1t was
ended. made the old lady happy by a
goodnight kiss.
Thus she had given valuable pres.
ents to six people in one day, and YET
she had not cent.

Lucille Crop Sends in a
School Composition
Dear Juniors:

Lear juniors:
l have not written for a long time.
This is my school composition,
The Name Of Bad Girl"
Mary was a little girl about six years
old. Besides Mary there were eight
more and one was dead. The other
eight were quarrelsome between them
selves, as do know. They had one
little baby brother who was is pale and
white as sheet oil paper hey loved
him very well. He was so cute. The
next to the oldest one was the trouble
some one. She did not want to do what
ever her mother said. She did not like
to help wash the dishes; she would not
make the beds. Her mother was about
50. She did not seem strong enough 10
work. When her mother told her 10 40
anything as soon as her mother left the
room she would make the little ones do
1T. She was as hateful as she could be.
She would worry her mother almost to
death. If any one would say anything 10
her she did not like she would say |
don't care. She would make fun of her
blood and kin. She even made fun Of
the old folks.
But one day when the house was full
OF company and she was making fun
OF her kin and blood, there were
two great big things there to catch her.
and before she knew what they were
about they had grabbed her and taken
her up the chimney This was the last
of the next to the~oldest child.
