That Labeled Trunk,

New York woman had Just re-
turned from trip around the world.
The trunk which she took with her
was naturally covered with labels
from the different hotels, steamships
ana expresSer -..ch she had visited
or used. "a. though 1t had been an
unusually expensive and very strong
trunk. it was somewhat in need OF re-
pair by the time she landed in this
city. She accordingly sent it to the
place where she had bought it and
asked how much it would cost to have
it put in good order.
Imagine her surprise to receive q
letter from the firm. telling her that a
thorough rehabilitation OF tho trunk
would cost certain moderate sum:
but" the letter concluded "if yo,. vii,
give us the trunk. we shall be glad to
give you In return a new one exactly
like It," If you walk up Broadway
you may see that much belabeled trunk

tisement OF what a certain 1rm's

Orderly Service.

at an out-of-the-way town in California

did not suit them

Sut what at, my child?" INQUIRED
her mother solicitously.
"Oh. l can surely fill in somewhere.
In the old busy days of the factory
you had some one to keep the books
and take charge Of the office. Mr..
Deane. Can not be of some service
| there now?"
Had she been a stranger. he would
have said no. AS he reflected how
that lovely presence would be a con-
stant comfort and encouragement, Per.
cival said yes, and so it was arranged.
How harmoniously they worked to-
gether that first week. What a joy
it was mutually to feel that they were
merging their eXertions for the sake
OF their dear ones! Perciyal attended
to the packing and Grating of articles
ordered. Elsie did all the billing and
correspondence. Often she insisted on
aiding Percival at his work. Her soft
silky hair sweeping his face, her per-
fumed breath, the touch of her fairy
hands would send a rare thrill to his
soul. He could scarcely control the
impulse to take her in his arms and
tell her how he loved her
Then came to Percival Deane the
disappointment of his life A young
man came to the village For two
days he was almost constantly with
Elsie. 1t was whispered about the VIII
lage that he was the brother of Elsic's
closest school friend and her fiance
Elsie came back to work more shy
and self conscious than before. She
was still kindly aid helpful. but there
seemed to be barrier now between
them One day she came to where
Percival was busy.
Mr. Deane," she said. Il find that
while you have been sending mother n
regular allowance, you do not draw
any money yourself"
oh. that's all right" insisted Per
cival brightly. Il will take my share
when the collections come in"
But we must not be thus privi-
legged"
II fancied perhaps you particular
ly needed your allowance-just now"
Why. what do you mean?" inquired
Elsie innocently.
L heard you might leave here. That
is. fancied-well. as you are en-
gagged"
"Engaged?" repeated Elsie vaguely
"Oh, you mean 10 my recent visitor?"
and she burst into a merry laugh. He
was very good friend, but anything
farther than that was never possible
with me and utterly cut of the cues
tion with him-wher he learned how
poor was"
Yes" observed Percival, 1--WE are
both poor"
But. oh! so glad to share that
poverty cheerfully, almost happy"
You say that" cried Percival. un-
able to restrain his fervent emotions.
and her downcast eyes, her blushing
face told him that his love was re-
turned.

came to the Marvin home-the miss

the terrible burns he received while
endeavoring to extinguish the fire that

told the jury he and Mrs. Corken were
lying down when they heard the young
er daughters scream that Dorothy was
on fire. About the same time they
heard Dorothy scream. He rushed to
meet the child coming from between
the houses. He threw her TO the

clothing. A carpenter working across
the street ran over with a blanket and
the flames were extinguished.
'Dr. Sedgwick testified to the burns.

the following resolutions:
Whereas. There appeared an article
IN the daily press as a part of our oftic-
ial proceedings which said at the meet
ing held in the sheriff's office last Mon
day evening by the Monumental Asso-
citation. il was announced that all the
money required for the erection of the
monument according to the original de-
sign had been raised and collected and
that a committee of three had been
appointed TO make the selection, the
article is not only erroneous and mis-
leading, but puts the committee in
very embarrassing position before the
public when we go out to raise and
collect more funds, which we must do
IL we are to complete the monument
according to our original program
Therefore be it resolved, That we.
the monumental committee take the
public into our confidence by instruct
ing our secretary to issue and publish
ahnanciaI statement in the daily press
showing the amount of cash which we
have on hand and in the bank and the
amount of unpaid pledges outstanding
and the amount still required to COM
plete the monument according to The
original program.
And be it further resolved, That we
ask the public especially those who
have not contributed to cooperate with
us in raising the small balance still
necessary by sending their cash or
checks to the secretary. Mrs. Eugenia
Franks. 1924 Fourth avenue, or hand
same to any member of the association
