A SISTER OF CHARITY,

hood Has to Saw

Her Purity and self-Denial Make Her Remark
able-What the Oldest Member of the Sister
hood Has to Say.
If the noble and self sac rihcing devotion O.
women could be written it would make more
volumes than the Aston Library could contain
OF this noble band of women, the Sisters Of
Charity seem to be the most devoted and os
this number, Sister Irene. in charge of the New
York Founding Asylum, stands at the head
Since the year 1S47 she has been earnestly en-
gagged in her grand and charitable work She it
was who originated the idea of placing basket
upon the front door, and she it Is to day who has
inspired by her work and presence many very
noble women. 1t is only natural that such wo-
man should exercise the greatest car. in regard
to human health and welfare, to see that only
the purest and best ingredients for preparing
food are used at all times When therefore such
woman says, as she does 81 have tried The
pure Baking Powder and find 1t to be OF most
excellent quality" it speaks volumes for the pu-
rity and worth of that article
A good heart and pure spirit are quick to
appreciate purity, whether in others or in the
material things OF life, and the words of Sister
Irene regarding 'Thepure' Baking Powder are a
greater tribute to its purity and worth than the
results OF all the chemical analyses Of all the
chemists i'll the land. Purity that can stand
such q test Is beyond all question. Would it NOT
be well for you to try this new powder which il
spoken SO highly OF and Is becoming SO popular?

Important.

almost sufficient stock has been sub
scribed to build a telephone line to the
top OF Shenandoah mountain (the eoun-
ty line.) Staunton has in the past
showed an interest and has promised to
aid in the construction of this telephone
line from Monterey to that city; now she
has an opportunity to make. good her
promises, and we hope immediate steps
will be taken by the business men of
Staunton to construct this line from that
point to the line of the two counties.
1t IS useless to again recount the ad-
vantages of line connecting these
points, as we see the necessity of it every
day.
'Staunton papers will please give this
matter their attention. Highland Re-
cOrder.
The business men of Staunton fully
appreciate the Importance of close con-
nection with Highland county. We
take it that it is only necessary to call
attention to the above suggestion, and
our people will do what is right in this
matter. We would suggest that meet
ing be held to take such steps as will Sc

those interested in the promotion of the
plan.

A Mild Gold Fever

The Charlottesville correspondent of
the Richmond Times, under date of the
Both Sept, says:
A mild gold fever has broken out ow-
ing to the results of assays of ores taken
from mine near North Garden in this
county. Seven or eight assays have
been made-a different sample of ore
from the same mine being assayed in
each case. The average result is that
the metal in ton pans out-silver $47,
gold $31, and lead enough (49 per cent. J
to pay the expenses of mining. A syn
dictate has been formed composed of
Messrs. Il. ID. Anderson, A. d. Payne,
L. ID. Aylett, S. b. Woods, Frank Dur
rett, r. H. Anderson, and the mining
rights purchased. The property is now
being developed under the management
of an expert miner.

Remembers Men by Their
NecktieS.

4 4 4 ' Y . % e
There is ticket takerin one Of the
large theatres in this city who occa-
sionally exercises his memory in a
rather curious way. Generally he
gives each man who goes out be
tween the acts a return check, but
occasionally he omits this and relies
solely on his memory to recognize
those who wish to re-enter the thea
tire. A friend who saw him doing
this the other night remarked that
he must have a wonderful memory
for faces to be able to preform the
feat without making a mistake.
s'sNo, answered the ticket taker, II
have a very poor memory for faces.
/ do not rely on their faces at all.
Indeed / seldom look at the men s
faces. What I go by is their neck
ties. Ii you will watch the neckties
you will observe that notwo are ex.-
actly alike. They differ much more
than the faces do and they are easier
to remember. Imightforget aman's
face. but his necktie, never. have
followed this rule for years and
