Ladies Find Well Filled Wallet On
Sidewalk.
Americas can eite one instance on
reoord where woman’s curiosity did
not get the better of her, though in
this instanoe she might have been de
terred by the fear that a sell was being
perpetrated, and therefore didnt oare
to be canght oat.
Two prominent ladies were walking
on Lamar street when they discovered
a fat wallet on the sidewalk.
“Piok it up” said one of the ladies
to her oompanion. “I am quite snre
it has money in It, and we will find
the owner and return it.”
Bat the other lady, fearing a gold
briok swindle, dissented.
With a “dare to do right” determi
nation, the first observer of the parse
picked it np. It contained a large
roll of bank notes, possibly several
hundred dollars, and likewise the card
of the owner, a visitor of a day here.
The purse was at onee returned to
him, and his pleasure can well be
imagined.
THAT JOYFUL FEELING.

wed health and strength and internal
cleanliness, which follows the use of

who have not progressed beyond the
old-time medicine and the cheap sub

fever, her spotless sonl has gone to be

How lair and dear the loved one
Who dwells with uu no more,
How welcome would be tidings.
From the unknown shore.
