She has just come into the money. of Captain Oliver H. Baker, and thereby hangs a tale of an old man’s admiration and his gratitude to a youag woman who respected age and paid it the courtesy ever due it. “* Miss Mabel stag has gone to oan A little more than two years ago Francisco on a visit. i Mrs. Cald h he -W-B. Bourne returned onthe res ee eee ae . Krone, was cashier in her father’s restaurant,the Popular, an eating-house on Geary street, San Francisco. Captain Baker came to the Popular to take his meals and was attracted by the quiet dignity of the young cashier. Her courtesy and attention enlisted the sympathy of the seafearing man and he soon learned that his restauranteur’s daughter was engaged to be married.to a young man of Jimited means, but a lack‘of meams made the wedding day a distant possibility. “Marry,” said the captain, “and I will fit you up a home, where you may re\side rent free. The only favor I ask in return is that you let me come and live with you as a boarder, for which I will pay you a handsome price.” Christina Krone and Howard Caldwell were married and Captain Baker went to live with them. About two weeks ago the seafaring man was taken ill, and when the serious nature of his malady was explained to him he asked that Attorney Nagle be summoned to draw his will. Captain Baker died on the 21st instant. When his last will was opened it was found thut Mrs. Caldwell was the sole legatee. The estate is valued at over $25,000, and consists of $15,000 in bank, $3000 in life insurance, some United States bonds, various mortgages and the home where Mrs. Caldwell lives. Howard Caldwell, the husband of the -. fortunate young woman, is a driver for the California Casket Company. As far as the Caldwells know Captain Baker has no living relatives. PURER EES 50 A Point in Advertising. “What is the use of advertising these goods?” said the old-time merchant toa reporter for the Philadelphia Record, “we are the only house that has them, and the only house that can get them.” And therein he gave the best of reasons why he ought to advertise the articles in question. The United Gas Improvement Co. sells all the gas that is used in Philadelphia; yet it advertises constantly, and it finds advertising an excellent thing for the gas business. _ oor A Talker.

Some San Francisco newspapers have been playing the fool in their caricaturing of political opponents, and then along came the Legislature and Governor and perpetrated the greater folly of prohibiting all caricaturing. But this mad race of foolishness is likely to end ina judicial verdict that the law is unconstitutional and a popular verdict that the offending newspapers have been given a warning which should teach them to behave themselves better.

She has just come into the money. of Captain Oliver H. Baker, and thereby hangs a tale of an old man’s admiration and his gratitude to a youag woman who respected age and paid it the courtesy ever due it. “* Miss Mabel stag has gone to oan A little more than two years ago Francisco on a visit. i Mrs. Cald h he -W-B.

Captain Baker came to the Popular to take his meals and was attracted by the quiet dignity of the young cashier. Her courtesy and attention enlisted the sympathy of the seafearing man and he soon learned that his restauranteur’s daughter was engaged to be married.to a young man of Jimited means, but a lack‘of meams made the wedding day a distant possibility. “Marry,” said the captain, “and I will fit you up a home, where you may re\side rent free. The only favor I ask in return is that you let me come and live with you as a boarder, for which I will pay you a handsome price.” Christina Krone and Howard Caldwell were married and Captain Baker went to live with them. About two weeks ago the seafaring man was taken ill, and when the serious nature of his malady was explained to him he asked that Attorney Nagle be summoned to draw his will. Captain Baker died on the 21st instant. When his last will was opened it was found thut Mrs. Caldwell was the sole legatee. The estate is valued at over $25,000, and consists of $15,000 in bank, $3000 in life insurance, some United States bonds, various mortgages and the home where Mrs. Caldwell lives. Howard Caldwell, the husband of the -. fortunate young woman, is a driver for the California Casket Company. As far as the Caldwells know Captain Baker has no living relatives. PURER EES 50 A Point in Advertising. “What is the use of advertising these goods?” said the old-time merchant toa reporter for the Philadelphia Record, “we are the only house that has them, and the only house that can get them.” And therein he gave the best of reasons why he ought to advertise the articles in question.

Some San Francisco newspapers have been playing the fool in their caricaturing of political opponents, and then along came the Legislature and Governor and perpetrated the greater folly of prohibiting all caricaturing. But this mad race of foolishness is likely to end ina judicial verdict that the law is unconstitutional and a popular verdict that the offending newspapers have been given a warning which should teach them to behave themselves better.
