OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SHE WAS A PEACH
BY SETH MONROE.

Anthony? You mean Jim Anthony
King & Co.? Why, he has another
route now. and he amt travelling for
King & Co. any more. neither. And
Letty-you remember Lefty. who used
to be in service here. Well-say, I'd
best start right at the beginning.
Lefty was the housefhaid at this
hotel when Anthony was King & Co.'S
best salesman. Her mother had
brought her up very strict, and when
she died Lefty was only eighteen and
knew about as much of the world as .
child does. The house was worth about
two thousand. for property had been
going up for q long time; but Lefty
couldn't live on nothing while 1t was
on the market, SO she came to the
tavern as second housemaid. In those
days service OF that kind wasn't con-
sidered anyways lowering in Wake
field.
Anthony was staying over night 1t
was a small town on his route, and he
hadn't made many sales that year, and
he was naturally bit depressed. But
when he saw Lefty sweeping down the
hall he frightened up a bit. Anthony
always liked pretty face. So he
comes up to her.
HELLO. kid, you sure are peach
he says, and kisses her. That done.
he goes into his room, thinking no
more about 1t.
Lefty was flabbergasted. She had
always been taught that to kiss a girl
meant you wanted to marry her, and
here was a perfect stranger who had
kissed her the minute he set eyes on
her. The little fool put down her
broom and began to cry with happi-
ness. Anthony was about forty and
rather fat and flashily dressed, but he
was all gold in Letty's eyes.
Next morning Anthony, having re-
newed his crouch, went out of his
room carrying his suit case. He met
Lefty, who had been waiting on the
stairs. Morning, MISS said Anthony.
and passed on, leaving Lefty still more
flabbergasted.
Il guess she cried all that day, but
when night came she had made up her
mind. OF course a fine gentleman like
Anthony wouldn't want to marry girl
in service. Her little head was full Of
romances. She had read about men

Honest, artless Joe began to blush

young woman who kept books for the
tavern was leaving to get married,
Lefty stepped into her shoes. The
salary was a dollar less than her
wages had been when she held the
broom, but she was mighty glad.
AT the end of the year Anthony

Lefty looked up from her books and

her heart beat SO that she couldn't
speak.
Anthony looked at her. and his
crouch began to clear away. He al.
ways liked pretty girls.
"'You sure are a peach, kiddo,' he
said, and chucked her under the chin.
How about the movies tonight?'
with that he was gone. leaving
poor Lefty in heaven of ecstasy. Her
god had noticed her again; he was
going to take her out. That fiashy
chap was king in Letty's eyes.
Il guess Anthony wanted to take
her out all right, though he hadn't the
slightest notion that he had ever met
her before But he fell in with some
of the boys, and they got him into a
poker game, and when he got out, at
midnight, he was S72 in the hole, And
by that time he had forgotten all about
Lefty. who had been waiting all

Lefty cried herself to sleep. and

RICH IN HISTORIC INTEREST
Excellent Reasons Why Mississippi's
Old Capitol Should Be Preserved
by People Of State.

A bill for renovating Mississippi's
old statehouse calls for the legislature
of the state to consider question
more or less continuously discussed by
Mississippians ever since the compile.
ton Of the present capitol in 1903. For
a comparatively modest sum the old
capitol may be restored and put to ex-
cellent and appropriate use. So that
today the sentimental plea for the
buildings preservation is strongly re-.
inforced by utilitarian arguments.
Mississippi's old statehouse should
be as dear to Mississippians who take
pride in their states history as the
Cabildo is to Louisianians. Built in 1899
the old capitol at Jackson is identified
with the most stirring events in the
most stirring period of Mississippi's
history.
In 1s49 it housed the convention that
formally asserted the principle Of
secession as state right. In its hall
the convention of 1861 was assembled
and the ordinance of secession passed
During the stormy years Just following
the war 1t witnessed the dispossession
Of two governors by federal troops,
and staged the notorious black and
tan" convention. 1t was the scene Of
the Impeachment trial Of Governor
Ames. In 1890 it sheltered the consti-
tutional convention which framed and
enacted the franchise plan that solved
the south's most portentious problem.
Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Prem.
tiss, Lamar. Walthall. George and
other makers Of history have ad.
dressed Mississippi audiences In the
historic structure. 1t witnessed the
election of Jefferson Davis as major
general Of Mississippi troops at the
beginning Of the struggle between the
states. From its rostrum the Confed.
crate president in 1884 delivered his
farewell address to the people Of Mis-.
sissippi.
