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.

The promises he exacted from the !
men and women were: first that they
would go home and tell members of
their family first thing that they had
"given their lives to Christ;" second,]
that they would tell their neighbors j
and daily associates in the moruing; j
and third that they would "help others]

the women that they would induce l
