The longer girl has been in service, the longer time is required to obtain the full benefits of the brace. Ordi- narily, it can be buckled one hole tighter every three months, but where, through long employment-say seven to ten years-the knee has a distinctly set curve, from four to six months are required before the buckle can be ad- vanced an additional hole. So marked has been the improvement that many of our members are beginning to leave off their braces on big occasions, as was the ball given by the Amalgamated Hack Drivers recently, when it was es, timated that less than four dozen braces were in the Grand March.
 The few who declined to have you measure them for braces when you were here, thinking your motives were not sincere, are now all wearing them and deeply regret having misjudged yOn.

OEAR STROLLI

OhiNAOoi Wal lo, l9Ao. DEAR STROLLER;-
 Nearly seven years have passed since you introduced your famous SelfAd. iusting, Nou-Rattling Knee Brace into our Department Store Girls Union and today your great invention is worn by over DOO0 female store employees in this city Toe last branch of our Un- jon to adopt tbe hesven-sent invention was the Daughters of Israel and their endorsement of it is contained in a let ter to the Trades Union from the secre- tary of the organization, Rebecca Open heimer, a copy of which herewith en- close for your Perusal
 As you learned while here, S6 per cent. of our members were kuee- sprung, the curve depending largely on the length of time tbe girl had been employed, mo-t of tho 6ve-year girls being from three co five inches out of plumb at tbe kDee. Thanks to your WOuAeIAui NlaNra uloNg tA tA~'N nv inch curves have been reduced to less than two inches, and the work of restoration Go former aud original pristine shape aud loveliness is still going on.
 Previous to yo0r visit to Chicago it vas not unusual to see many of our members, especially towards evening of busy day, turn their toes together in order that one tired knee could rest against the other. The result was that they were beginning to walk pigeon soed and tbe subject became one of general comment among the hoorwaik- CTS. Your brace, however, has done away with an that and many of our members who stood only 3 feet 5ls inches when you were here, now scale feet 2 and look as imposing as May Queens. Of course, the improvement is more marked in some than iu others.

Yet, according to the latest Presbyter- ian ruling, there is no bell and the o.ber fellow who has "let Ter go" all his life is side by side with the Stroller and in line with him for the peace that passeth understanding.
 As is now too late in life for the Stroller to get in and do what the fear of bell restrained bim from doing in the sap-risinR period and when be would have enjoyed the lack of re- straint, he has almost concluded to continue to tread the straight and mar row path aud forget the new Presby- teriau decree. ln fact, the old style Presbyterianism is good enough for tbe Stroller-the kind that always ad bered to the unwritten custom that twice a year was often enough 10 go to town to pay taxes and get drunk. or tener lowered a mans standing in both church and state.

While the above is all very gratifying to the Stroller. it is contrary to his re served and somewhat backward dispo- sitiou to wish SO much publicity given to what, to him at the time, was mere ly a desire on his part to assist the overworked, knee.sprong department store girls in Chicago. How the Stroller acquired his information is his own business. But having acquired it, it was but humane inclination Chat prompted him to do something to ame liorate conditions as be had found them. and the knee brace is the result of his efforts. The Stroller is satisfied for the reason that bis efforts in behalf of knee-sprung humanity are appreci- ated.

Court House Burns

The Baca county court house at
Springfield was destroyed by fire
early Sunday morning. 1t was just a
few days over a year since the former
court house there was burned, and
everything this time points to an in
cendiary fire. County officials were
in their offices until eleven o'clock Sat
urday night and said the room where
the ire started was perfectly clean,
yet the first people to reach the burn
ing building saw a pile of trash on
fire in the room In the county clerk
and treasurer's offices the vault stood
the test and saved the valuable rec
ords, but the instruments Of the local
band boys and several fine typewrit-
ers and an adding machine were de-
stroyed. The door Of the vault where
the records of the district clerk are
kept was slightly sprung, and these
records were destroyed. District
Clerk Eldon Allen had $500 in paper
money in this vault which was also
lost. No clue has yet been found 70
the perpetrators Of the crime, but
the county officials expect to vigor-
ously push the inquiry. Including the
building purchased for a court house
and burned while being moved from
old Boston to Springfield, Baca coun-
ty has lost three court houses. How
ever, they are still several shy of the
number the early boomers expected to
build in the territory comprising the
county.
