"It is a great thing to bo bright, isn't
it, Nan?" said a girl on a ear.
"It. undoubtedly is. my dear. Hutu hut
railed forth that sage remark:-''
"Do you remember Florence Drown of
Solma. Kan., w ho was In our class at col?
leger"
"Of course 1 do."
"Will, you know that, although a very
pretty and attractive girl, she Is still un?
married, mid lately she wrote to one of
the girls that she was rapidly u] prouching
that horrid anniversary, her thirtieth
birthday, imd 11.at .-lie intended to eolo
I.ran it by indulging in u 'lachrymal bel?

with compassion fur her loin condition,
und wrote to 3U of her classmates that
Florence had written bor tu that effect,
ami asked each one to send her n handker?
chief tu assi.-t her in the tearful operation.
So, owing to her quick wit, r'lnrcnuo'l
thirtieth birthday, instead ul being a tliuo

It Was a Hard Pill
for the Merchants
The "one-third off" pale that we advertised
last week may not have wrecked all the other
merchants in the city, but it has kept them guess?
ing, and the old shelf-worn goods that have been
brought out and reduced in price would make
Noah groan with envy if he lived to this day to
know that some of Newport News clothing dealers
had gotten a part of the stock that was taken in
the ark.
