NEWS OF S A PLUCKY WOMAN'S WILL SECURED DESIRED CHANGES Mrs. William J. Reeves, Attompted to Modernize an Ancient Bureau, Aft er Repeatedly Requesting Her Hus band to Do It for Her The old saw. "That When a Woman Wills, She Wills" was exemplified to the letter a short time ago when Mrs. William J. Reeves, wife of a prominent contractor, residing in Highspire, at tempted, with tools daily used by her husband, to modernize an ancient heir loom in the shape of h cherry bureau. This bureau, though made ot' a pat tern much in vogue in the time of our Revolutionary fathers, was a handsome piece of furniture. It contained four full length drawers with the top, one solid piece of cherry wood of exquisite grain. With an artistic eye Mrs. Reeves decided the heirloom would bo more up-to-date if the ton drawer was sawed through, a depression made in the top with two small drawers on each side and a plato glass mirror placed in position in the depression. Repeatedly she requested her hus band to make the desired changes, but each request was met with the plea of too much work. Finally one day while her husband was away, Mrs. Reeves ob tained his steel square and hand saw and set to work, man fashion, to ac complish her ends. About the time she had cut through the wide top and top drawer, Mr. Reeves appeared on the scene. He was first inclined to be pro voked at the alterations in the heirloom, but then the pluck displayed by his wife won his admiration and sending for his bead carpenter ho instructed the latter to complete the job. The re constructed bureau is now the admira tion of the Reeves' family.
