Just as the restoration was com pleted an early and costly present ar r Kt from a millionaire sister in Duluth. It came to the Credit Lyon naisse, and the bankers through whom the present was sent furnished the Credit I.vcnraisse a detailed de •crlption of Mrs Arnold. The description was as accurate as •hat of a passport and gave as a de tail *fat her hair was grayish. It likewise stated that she would be In the company of Mrs. Hendrickson, who is well known at the Credit Ly i >■—caisse When Mrs. Arnold went to •he bank her hair was as black as midnight and the well known Mrs. Hendrickson was not with her. “Mrs. Robert Arnold of Chicago has gray in her hair; yours is quite black," said the cold-eyed banker. “My hair has? grown black in a sin gle night.” promptly retorted Mrs. Arnold. But the banker was inexora ble. "My orders are positive.” he said. “The Mrs. Arnold for whom the pres ent has come has gray in her hair; yours is jet b'ack.” Mrs. Arnold laughed as though she were at a circus and when asked could she give reference or get any one to identify her she gave a list as long as State street.

New York.—A new record has just been established for New York City real estate in the sale for $1,000,000 of the small corner plot at Broadway and Thirty-fourth street, adjoining Maey's department store. It contains less than 1.200 square feet—not quite i half of a full sized city lot, and brought nearly $870 a square foot. This exceeds the former record of about $S00 paid two years ago for the old Gillender building plot on the northwest corner of Nassau and Wall streets, on which, including some ad joining property, the forty-one-story Bankers' Trust building is nearing completion Previously to this the famous parcel at 1 Wall street. * fronting on Broadway, was sold for about $700,000. In area this contains about 1.200 square feet, making a trifle less than $000 a square foot. Not far be low the plot just sold is the property formerly occupied by the Union Dime Savings Bank. The bank sold it in 190C for about $1,000,000, at the rate of $250 a square foot, and when It changed hands about three years later the price was then given as nearly $1,500,000, bringing the square foot 1 average to about $275. It occupies the entire front on the south side of Thir ty-second street, with frontages on both Broadway and Sixth avenue. The tiny corner is in the center of one of the busiest localities of the city. The high price paid for it has undoubtedly been influenced by the fact that the Pennsylvania station is only a block to the west On the op posite side of Broadway, between Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth streets, the twenty-five-story McAlpin hotel Is being constructed, and other important hotel and business developments near by, including the Gimbel store one block below, have made Broadway and Thirty-fourth street one of the note worthy centers in traffic and business. LOSS CHESTNUT BLIGHT Damage in Country Estimated at $25,000,000—Greatest in Pennsylvania. _ Philadelphia.—Ten million dollars' damage has already been done in the state of Pennsylvania by the chest- j nut blight, according to the commis sion appointed on the authority of the legislature by Governor Tener to eradicate the disease. In addition to this there has been damage in other states to the amount of about $15. 000.000 This will constitute but a small part of the loss occasioned, ac cording to a statement made by the commission, if the blight is not checked, as the chestnut timber in Pennsylvania alone is valued at from $60,000,000 to $70,000,000. If the disease is not wiped out it will sweep the magnificent chestnut forests of the south. The annual chestnut output of the eastern part of the United States is worth $22,000,000. Pennsylvania has appropriated $275. 000 to defray expenses in checking and wiping out the blight Thirty trained men are in the field in this state. They have located the advance line of the blight ard are supervising the cutting and burning of diseased trees and locating new infections Both the federal department of agri culture. through Dr. Haven Metcalf of : the department of forest pathology, and the Pennsylvania forestry de partment are actively co-operating with the commission, of which S. S. Detweiller of this city is the execu tive officer Kissing Is Great Nuisance Denver Union Station Gatcrr.an in Ap peal to Traveling Public Dur ing Busy Season. Denver.—"Don’t kiss In tbe gate \ way!" "Kiss first and show your ticket aft erward!” ‘Kissing may be carried on between bars of the iron fence.” “Passengers will confer a favor up ' on the depot management by kissing before, and not after, tbey reach the kUticn.” “Passengers affectionately disposed may kiss in the ladies' waiting room or In the lunch room. They are po litely requested to avoid the other places.” "Don't try to kiss and show your ticket to the gateman at the same time. Don't kiss the gateman!" "If you can’*, bear to part, take her along with you.” The above are rough drafts of a se ries of notices which the gatetnen at ; the union depot have asked tbe man agement to put up during the travel ing season Kissing, the gatetnen say. has become tbe one greatest nuisance j of modern travel. People Insist upon ; kissing in the most inconvenient times j and places. Take, for example, the young lady ! who goes away from Denver to spend her vacation. She Is automobilcd to : the station by her mother, her sister i and her sweetheart, and Is kissed in I termitter.tly all the way down. She ! gets to the station three minutes ! ahead of train time, and makes a rush i for the gate, where a long line of peo I pie are waiting. After much fretting ' and embracing she finally reaches the i gatemen. “Where Is the train for Kansas City?" she asks frantically. “Oh. dear, ’way over there! My ticket— yes. I have it. Walt a minute. I've got it In my purse. Oh. where is It? . I had it just a minute ago. Oh. dear j me. the train will leave me, I know. Goodness! Oh, here it is Hurry up. will you! Is it all right? Can I go? Which track did you say? Goodbv mother dear—" and at this point the gateman swears because Cecelia must kiss every member of the family good by. and her sweetheart as well. People are standing at the gateway glowering at her, but sbe pays no attention. “Re sure and write, sister. Goodby. j dear. Goodby. dear mother"—smack, smack, smack, smack! And the gate man in vain tries to get her through the gate. People have all sorts of ways of kissing each other goodby, but a young woman with red hair and a black dress put through a farewell i stunt the other afternoon that sur prised even the hardened brakemen. She kissed him at the gate. Evi- j dentlv he was her sweetheart. She drew back into the crowd and watched him fondly as he boarded the S:45 Burlington. He went Into the Pull man and presently appeared on the steps. As the train drew slowly past the gate the girl suddenly pushed past the gateman and ran out on the tracks, her sweetheart was waiting, standing eagerly on the Pullman steps. ; He leaped from the steps, folded her tenderly many times as the train pull ed out and then turned just in time to catch the rail of the last car and leap I aboard. The girl watched him until ! the train was out of sight. It was a touching spectacle. “And next time." said the bad gate man viciously. Til see to It that the last vestibule is closed.” SHIP IS DELAYED BY FISH Vesael in Midocean Has a Remarkable Experience When Members of Finny Tribe Block Pumps. Halifax. X. S.—On tbe arrival here of the Furness liner Durango, from London. Captain Chambers reported a remarkable occurrence which took place when tbe liner w’as in midocean. The steamship was proceeding at a high rate of speed, when suddenly the engines refused to work and the ves sel stopped. An examination by the engineer* disclosed tbe fact that the circulation pumps bad failed to act. and step* were taken to ascertain tbe cause. After some time it was found i that the "intake" of the circulation ' feed pipe was tightly filled with a number of fish, which had been drawn into tbe passage by the suction of the pumps. Csptaln Chambers stated that a short time before the Durango stopped she passed through a shoal of the fish. After the passage had been cleared of tbe fish tbe liner was able to pro ceed *t her usual rate of speeo I / Hetty Green’s Son Won Suit - * Denies He Employed Any Qne te "Write Him Up” in a Book or in Newspapers. New York.—Col. Edward H. Green, son of Hetty Green, “the richest wo man In the world," has never em ployed anybody to "write him up." he testified in a suit which was brought against him by a "historical assocla tion." which claimed he owed it $300 for a book containing portraits and biographical sketches of prominent men. "Didn’t you employ this association to write you up?” he was asked. "I did not.” "But about this time there was a column article in many papers repre senting you aa an automobtllst. You did not pay this association to write this?" "My name has been mentioned In the papers many times, but 1 never employed anybody to write me up.” was the response. The Jury arter betng out five min utes returned a verdict for tde col onel. Cupid Misplaced on $4 Job. Kansas City.

Perhaps this is the I right thing, but now and then there is I a girl who objects to it It was so in the case of Miss' Dora Thurston. Frank Weils had scarcely secured an avowal from her that he was loved in return when he heaved a long sigh of relief and said: “And now, of course, thet fellow Wakefield will get a hint that he need not call here any more?” "But why?” was asked. "And you won't have that Burton dangling around?" "Mr. Burton never dangled.” “And that cad of a Graham will be told that you are not at home?" "He will be told no such thing! Mr. Graham is far frcm being a cad.” "And Peterson will not be permit- \ ted to drop in here as if it were his j club.” ”1 don't understand you, Mr. Wells," ! said the newly-engaged as she drew i herself up. "Because I have promised j to marry ybu does it follow that I am : to become a prisoner in the garret or j down cellar?” “Dora, you have given me the right I to say what company you shall keep,” j was the reply. "You are so precious ' to me that—that-” “That you would treat roe like a five-year-old child! But you can't do it Until we are married I shall in- j sist on receiving my friends at this ! house. A great change seems to have • come over you all of a sudden. Here- j tofore you have not objected to any i of the gentlemen named.A “Because I had not the right. Even 1 If I knew them to be cads I could not object Now, however, it is different." "Mr. Wells, do you mean to say that I have been receiving cads In mV father's house?" the girl demanded. “Well—er—you know.” "I know, sir, that l do not like the way you talk. I think you introduced me to every gentleman we have named.” "But being engaged to you, you see.” “Then we are engaged, are we?" “Perhaps not!" “And young Mr. Wglls was just don key enough to walk cut of the parlor and out of the house and leave the im No Hero Ever Toiled Harder. rression behind that he had quit his ' Job, and that it would take a great J deal of coaxing to bring about his re turn. Did anybody faint away as Mr. Wells walked down the street, kicking every third ash can off the curbstone? Not a faint. Did a certain young lady fling herself down on the sofa and sob and sob and sob? Not a sob! Not a fling! On the contrary. Miss Dora Thurston sat down at the piano and banged and crashed and banged, and then walked out to her mother and said she was ready to go to the mountains for a week, a month or a year. The subject had come up almost daily and the girl had been the one who hung back. Mr. Wells had been j yrith the bank only a few months, and ; would not be entitled to a vacation j this summer. The matter was settled between mother and daughter in Eve minutes, and two days later they were away. Any notice to the "bossy” young man? Not a word nor a line. Not so much as “X. her mark." And the servants left behind were warned on pain of dismissal to give nothing away. It was three evenings before the young banker strolled that way again. He had his dignity with him. He was prepared to forgive if appealed to. but not without. When tears and sebs came he would melt, but not too hastily. "Not at borne,” was the reply of the butler. "But they must be.” “No, sir. Went to the country three days ago.” "But they left a letter for me?” “No, sir, and none of us know '-here they went." Mr. Wells and his dignity and for giveness turned aw£> If he looked “bossy” as he ascended the steps, it had fallen from him like a mantle as he descended. He first declared that he did not care a cooper's maledic tion—that he was actually glad of it; that he had had a narrow escape from marrying a girl with a dreadful tem per—one who would have driven him from home alter a few weeks. And then lie decided that he did care, but that he would be tbe boss or perish. The third decision was that he'had made an idiot of himself and couldn't ask forgiveness any too soon. Give a donkey of a young man time enough and he will strike the right policy. Mr. Wells wanted forgiveness, bul where to go for it? He had a pull at the bank and got four days off. He had a crisp ten-dollar bill for the but ler, and the butler proved disloyal to his mistress, just as she had figured that he would. A grip was packed and the "bossy'' young man hied him to a mountain re sort. He hadn't planned that he would, but some one had planned for him. With a railroad time table and a lead pencil and thirty minutes to fig ure in she was sure even of the train he would arrive on. And half an hour before the arrival of that train. Miss Dora Thurston took to the woods. In other words, dressed for a walk on the hills, she left the hotel and took a path leading upwards among the trees and bowlders and outcrop. Mr. •Wells tried to arrive with his dignity, but it was rather a failure. He hunted up Mrs. Thurston and ex plained that he had been granted a few days oil to cure his hay fever and that he had arrived at the Bald Kagle quite by accident and she had the courtesy not to smile. It was all of three minutes and a half before he carelessly inquired for Miss Dora and learned that she had gone for a walk Then he carelessly said he would look her up, as she would probably be quite anxious to know that the weather in town was so hot that truck horses were falling like autumn leaxes be fore its fiery blast. Young ladies dc take vivid interest in these things! Miss Dora met a boy and she met a man. and she met two romantic girls and she took pains that they should see her take a path marked; “Dan gerous—Beware cf Avalanches!” Ur that path to a spot where there hac been a slide of rocks* a week before and then she dropped her handker chief, removed her hat and tossed i! from her, and then went into hiding. Miss Dora had figured time as dost as a train dispatcher. She bad not been in hiding ten minutes when Mr Wells came up on the run. He saw the hat and handkerchief and uttered a groan and a shout. He was not up on avalanches, and he took this for a new one. Under it would be found the dead and mangled body of the girl he had tried to boss! Off came the coat and hat and vest of the frantic lover, ana he went tc | work iike a deg digging cut a wood chuck. Kelp could have bten had half a mile away, but he felt he couid j not stop to summon it. No he~o ever : toiled harder for a quarter or an hour, and he was still at it when Miss Dora slid gracefully down to his feet and j scrambled to remark; “Now. then, if you have chanced your mind about cads and other things we will sit down and talk If you work any longer you will have a lame back tomorrow!” "Oh. Dora. I—1-!” "The girl bosses before marriage j you knew, and the husband after- | wards." Souvenir Bracelets in Vogue. A fad among the wives of aviators is a souvenir bracelet.
