HURRY UP MESSENGER BOY
LEADS AN EXCITING LIFE
Does All Kinds of Queer Errands In
cluding That of Trailing

Kansas City, Mo-According to
Harry, the hurry-up messenger, life's
never dull for long ut stretch in his
line.
"Plenty of variety, you know" he
explains, "and amt that what makes
the world go round?"
"Why, only this morning a Jane
called up and wanted a boy to get a
leech for her. She answered the door
herself when l brought it out, and l
wish you could of seen her left blink
er, blacker'n that dog George Brown
brought in last night. Her old man
had hit her, she told me. She didn't
seem to mind it much, though. The
leech would fix it up in no time, she
said.
'Then | got a call from way out
South, almost to Waldo. 1t was a rush
call, so l didn't waste no time gettin'
out there. And you know what for?
To get an old alley cat off the roof
Of a big three-story house.
''At least it looked like an alley cat
to me. But the woman called it a
prize PERSIAN.
Once started, Harry's "reminiscences
flowed on uninterruptedly. Harry
didn't ask for applause. He merely
wanted an audience.
And a week before last a woman
paid me 30 cents an hour to stand
down by the bus station at Eleventh
and Wyandotte to watch the outgoing
busses to see if her husband went out.
You can guess the rest. Suppose ne
told her he was goin' out of town on
business or sOmethin. She wanted to
find out if he was what you call trust

"SOme of the calls are a lot of fun,
though. When a guy calls up for a
boy TO go over to a chop suey joint
and get some to bring out to party.
Lolita times they'll tell you to stick
around a while, and the more wise
cracks you can make the better they
like it. That's the time you usually
get the fattest tips. too.

MILTON HAS A s225.OOO FIRE
Flames Destroy Big Cannery Plant
With Machinery and Stock of Good

1dmeS DeSITOy Dig OdHneFy IIanl
With Machinery and Stock of Good
Fire which originated at II o'clock
Saturday, Feb. IS, and continued until
nearly dawn Sunday, destroyed the
canning factory of the Milton Canning
Company at Milton, with loss of
more than S225,OOO, partly covered
with insurance. Included in the loss
was stock stored in the buildings and
valued at $4,000. The balance of the
loss is contained in the value of the
new and modern machinery with
which the plant was equipped. The
fire, the cause of which is unknown,
started in the main building,a when
it was discovered had gained such
headway that it was with great diff
ficulty the firemen prevented its
spread. A high wind was blowing at
the time, and this famed the flames
and made it impossible for the fire
fighters to subdue them until the
place was razed. Water was pumped
continuously from the Broadkiln
Creek, on whose banks the factory
stood, in the extreme eastern section
Of Milton. The wind, which was blow
ing away from the town, carried blaz-
ing embers for long distance, but di-
rectly away from buildings which
otherwise would have been threatened.
The plant was one of the finest of its
kind on the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula,

tern Shore Society of Baltimore, first
prize for Queen Anne's county in the
Historical Essay Contest recently held
BY this society. The subject of Miss

ent residents Of that county. The

says Of real merit and Of real contri-
button to the historical life Of the
