GOT ANY IN YOUR POCKET?

The wife of Dorchester man who
had the traditional failing-he forgot
to mail letters-has cured him. The
mail is delivered at their home before
the breakfast hour-which is COM
paratively late. One morning she said
to her husband:
Did you have any mail this morn
ing, dear?"
"Only a circular" he answered as
he bit into fine brown slice of toast.
Huh" said the wife. by the way,
did you mail the letters l gave you
yesterday"
Sure l did," was the righteously
indignant reply.
Well answered wife, with an elo-
quent smile, Its funny, then, you had
no letters this morning, because one
of those gave you to mail was ad-
dressed to you-just as a sort of key" ="

STONECUTTERS UNION ADOPT
RESOLUTIONS.

At meeting Of Denver local of the
Journeymen Stonecutters Association
a resolution was adopted commencing
Secretary Of State James R holland
for his efforts TO have Colorado stone
used in the erection Of public build
ings and other structures Of an en-
during nature. The resolutions read
as follows:
Whereas. Secretary Fitzgerald. in
his efforts TO stimulate the stonecut-
ting industry Of our state. has repeat
edly reported that the Hon. James K.
has been untirinE in his efforts in aid
ing our secretary to obtain the object
sought by his association: and
Whereas, 1t is refreshing to note
that the real live secretary of state,
recognizes the fact that If Colorado
is to become great and populous
state. ii must have its quota of Drawn
and muscle, and hence his appeal to
the press of Colorado and to the mu-
inequalities, school boards, civic asso-
Citations and church builders TO use
Colorado stone; and
Whereas. Owing to the lack of in
terest taken by state and city off
cials, and many of Colorado's archi-
tects and builders in the past, vast
sums of Colorado's dollars have been
sent to distant states for building and
monumental stone, ignoring the home
product; therefore. be it
Resolved. By the Journeymen
Stonecutters Association of Denver
and Colorado, tender vote of thanks
to Secretary of State holland for his
splendid efforts to stimulate the stone

Wedding of Miss Batchelder
and Mr.. Baird Last
Evening
AUTO EPISODE is
STILL MYSTERY
Girl and Her Father Said to Have Seen
Baird on Way to Hospital, But TO
Have Been Denied Privilege of En-
tering Automobile.

d. G. Baird of New York, who is
known as Graham Baird, the man who
fell down stairs and was seriously in
jured just before the hour set for his
marriage to Miss Mildred Batchelder
of Cambridge, Mass. Saturday, as re-
ported exclusively in The Reformer yes
terday, married Miss Batchelder in
Peru last evening.
The marriage plans of the couple are
thus consummated, but there still re-
mains some mystery as to Mr. Baird s
removal to a Rutland hospital after the
accident.
The wedding was originally planned
for last Saturday. About II O'Clock
Baird underwent a nervous collapse
which caused him to fall down stairs
and sustain a slight concussion of the
brain. The wedding was, as a result,
indefinitely postponed
On Sunday morning a Mr. Alberto of
| the firm of Alberto & Carleton. New
York, and his wife, are alleged to have
| taken Baird from Peru in an automo-
bile, without consulting, and contrary
to the advice of a physician Later
the prospective bride and her father
Frank Z. Batehelder of II Humboli
street, Cambridge, came upon the cou
pie and Baird in Rutland, but were
not allowed to enter the automobile.
The next heard of Baird was on Sun
day evening, when he telephoned t.
Peru from Rutland for friends to com,
and get him. He said he was unabl
to explain his presence there and ex
pressed a desire to go back to PERI
and have the ceremony performed
When brought back, he was at frs
unable to recall having gone away
but soon after his memory became nor
NAL Last night lie had recovered suf
ticiently to allow the wedding.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alberto have not bee
heard from since they were seen by tn
bride and her father in Rutland.

ALLIES GAINING
NORTH OF ARRAS

Haig's Troops Secure Hold on West
Bank of Canal du Nord, Capturing
Numerous Small Towns-Further Ad-
vancos in Flanders Reported.
The British have driven home their
push to the Wotan line as far as the
Canal du Nord and as yet their progress
10 not reported checked. Disorganization
in the German ranks is reported in unoffi-
cial advices from the front, however, and
there seems to be more than a possibility
that the enemy command will not be able
to reconstruct its defensive formation
even in time to hold up the British tenn
porarily along the canal position.
The main force OF the British push
seems to be in the direction of Cambria
along both the Bapaume Cambria and
Arras- Cambrai roads and in the terrain
lying between these highways. In this
area an advance of between three and
one-half and four miles has been made
since yesterday beyond the southern sec
tion Of the famous switch line at Queant
Further south the British likewise have
reached the line of the canal well dOwr
to Peronne on the Somme.
The menace to both Cambria anC
Douai may be indicated by the fact tina
the British are within FIVE and one-hal
miles Of the outskirts of Cambrai ant
not more than six miles distant from
Douai.
