thru!-my first real party dress!
Then she told how she spent one
summer picking fruit at so much per
of ground picking strawberries. This
was followed by raspberries and
blackberrieS with briars and thorns n
everything. Cherries followed the
berries and she dramatically recount
ed how she and basket of cherries
came crashing to the ground. That
fall, her schoolmates, judging from
her complexion, were sure she had
spent the summer at the seashore,
and she had the satisfaction of a bank
account all her very own to draw on
for extras.
Loved to Make Hats.
Ever since she had made doll hats
and trimmed them with chicken
feathers, she had loved hat making.
She always made her own head gear,
and by letting it be made known that
she would make hats at so much per
hour, she soon had so many orders
that a cruel mandate went forth from
the parental roof that she had to give
up her millinery trade or her school.
AS the hat-making was simply a
means to an end, she reluctantly gave
it up.
Quite a few shekels came in from
taking care of babies at so much per

Then came college, and Mary Jane
began writing her themes on the type
writer,-using the Hunt and Peck
method. She finally became so pro-
| ficient that she began copying theses
for others at so much a page. She
soon found that by volunteering to
write the theme outright, she could
command any price she chose to ask,
and developed a land office business
along this line.
Liked to Write Letters.
But she said that the most fun she
ever had was writing a letter to an
other girls flame" The other girl
was very indignant at said flame"
and wished to write him a crushing
letter. She had used up reams OF
! paper, but couldn't seem to get enough
venom and sarcasm in it. She was
rather friendly with Mary Jane, SO
finally confided her troubles to her
and told her if she would compose the
kind of letter she wished, she would
give her a dollar and let her see the

mercenary Mary Jane. (She had Just

THE STORY OF A CIGARET
Fiend at One End of Cigaret, But
No Fire at the Other-One of
Biggest Crabs or towards Is Dis
covered.

A cigaret pursued its way down a
certain Topeka street at about the
witching hour of midnight recently,
and discovered either the biggest crab
or the biggest coward. in this fair city.
There was a cigaret fiend at one
end of the cigaret. but no fire at the
other. The fiend lacked a match. And
a cigaret without a light is even as a
kiss from q woman who giggles after
she kisses.
Across the bows OF the lightless Gig
aret there crossed a man with a lighted
cigar between his teeth The location
was a quiet one. The man with the
light and the man without the light
were the only persons in sight. The
lightless one whistled. and the more
lucky man hesitated.
Hey, gimme a light, will yuh?'' be-
sought the lightless one.
The man with the cigar halted sus-
'piciously and waited for the other to
approach.

the passing of the time limit ordi-

principal concern has been over motor

offers as suggestions some tentative

may bring before the city commission

ONLY MUNICIPAL OBSERVATORY.
City Council of Des Moines Votes
Funds for Telescope.

DeszAToines, Ia, July 23.-The only
municipal observatory in the world
according to Dean Daniel W. More
house OF Drake university. its chief
promoter, will be opened to the public
here on August l. The city council
voted the funds for its erection.
Dean Morehouse was led to work
for the public telescope by his expert
ence as head of the department of
astronomy at the local university for
twenty years, in which he came to the
conviction that the great majority of
newspaper readers are interested in
astronomical phenomena. They de-
sire information in this field upon
which they can depend and which
will give them a wider knowledge
and will be of real benefit in shaping
their ideas and concepts in the realm
of the oldest and grandest of the
sciences" the dean says.
