as one of the pitching feats of the season.
1t was one of the most remarkable per-

it means that Bentley must be consid-
cred as one of Griffmens most promising

Of the Bentley victory is the fact that the
young man did not suffer from Uranium

here to have vacated and set aside the
sale of piece of property at Kensington,
this county, by County Treasurer Berry +.
Clark. for taxes in arrears, upon which
property the plaintiff held mortgage for
$1,000. and which, should the sale stand,
he would lose. Mr.. Offutt represents in
his petition that he was unaware of any
default in the payment of taxes and of
the fact that the property had been offered
for sale. and asks the court to restrain the
county treasurer from executing and de-
livering a deed to the purchaser. 1t is
commended in the petition that all the pro-
ceedings leading up to and following the
sale of the property were not in conformity
with the statute providing for the sale of
property in Montgomery county for non
payment of taxes. and that for that reason
the sale is illegal and void.

When 1t was known that Ann Bascom
had been left the sum of 5000 by some
courteously mourned for everybody in
Westmore began to wonder what she
would do with the money. Ann always
had been poor. Five Thousand dollars
was going to put her right up on the
top shelf with the Mogridges and the
Culvers and the McPhersons. There
was no doubt that Ann would know just
what to do with her money. And she
did.
I'm going to build ME a new house,
she declared firmly to her old cronies,
Mrs. Cass and her sister Louisa Trent.
who went to bear her their congratula-
tons
"a new houser' cried Louisa And
she looked at Mrs. Cass. who echoed
feebly: "A new house,
Yes" said Ann, still more firmly,
I'm going to build me a new house.
There's ground enough that side this
one" She motioned with her hand.
I'll tell you why I'm going to have a
wanted one. When I lived with my
folks we always rented. and them days
you couldn't hire new house for love
or money. ! grew up smelling other

brand-new house. But. lai I UP and
married Sam Bascom. and we moved
I'm here with his folks. When his folks
died they left Sam this place, and when
he died he left 1t to me- She drew
deep breath, and her eyes saw vistas
of past things. glad and sorrowfuI. He
didn't leave me much else, but I've
made It go. I've woven rugs and baked
for my neighbors. and got along. 1 amt
never suffered or put on a. mortgage
But that's neither here nor there. The
thing of it is. I've lived in this house
forty years, and it was an old house
when I come to it. I'm sick as death
of old houses, and now I'm going to have

as she finished.
