l.. Jun,.itss Meet in New York city

Mr.. and Mrs. r. Phillips received
letter last week from their daugh,
ter. Miss Martha, who is attending
the New York School OF Philanthro
ply, In which she tells OF meeting
some other people from La Junts
Unexpectedly. They are well known
here and the incident will be OF In.
terest to mest OF the Tribune read.
ers. The letter In part Is as follows:
I'VE decided to go down to Madi,
son Square Garden and help at the
soldiers and sailors big dinner. In
the afternoon we were told to come
back and distribute programs and
help entertain the soldiers and sail
ors. which we did until 5 o'clock.
The boys seemed pleased to have
some women to talk to. They were
all privates. mainly drafted men who
are in the different camps near New
York City. Most Of them had never
been in. New York before and were
having the time Of their lives. The
funniest thing happened. I was
gazing around for some lonesome
youth to talk to when I saw Jess
Howard. Mrs. Miners brother. He
was completely fiabber- -gasted at see-
Ing some one from La Junta. He
was drafted from Richmond, Calf.
We had quite . long talk. He was
pretty blue and homesick. I have
since sent him the Tribunes 4 had,
as he had not seen . La Junta pa
per. he said. for long time
And then = day or two later Miss
Martha Unexpectedly met another
La Junta boy OF which incident she
has the following to say: Il was 60
Ing up Forty-Second street to meet
Miss Hickey when met Archie
Beard on the street. We were both
much surprised. l only saw him for
q second ss I was late and in . ter
rible hurry. He expects to be here
until January some time
Surely the world Is not very big
after all or else we must put down
as only . coincidence the meeting Of
people we know in unexpected places
and among millions of other people.
DR.. Archie Beard Is q son OF Mr..
and Mrs. John Beard Of this city.
and spent several weeks In La Junta
last summer. Jess Howard is q son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Howard. and
a former. well known employe OF the
Santa Fe at this point as n machin-
list apprentice. He left with his pa
rents several months ago for Rich
mond. Calf. where he was still In
the employ Of the Santa Fe. but was
one OF those drafted on the first
call.
