Life-SavinS Wit.

An instance of extraordinary presence
of mind on the part of a 7-year-old girl
is reported by the ST. Louis Globe Demo
crat. The girls name is Agnes McCul-
Tough.
Her grandmother, a woman of 20 years.
had shown signs of mental alteration
for several weeks, but no one had thought
of her as liable to commit violence.
One morning, however. when Agnes and
the old lady were alone in an upper ROOM
the grandmother seized a butcher-knife
which had been lying OH the table, and
ran for the child, who was sitting on the
edge of the bed, partially dressed. The
insane woman grabbed the girl by the
hair and screamed:
Now I'll kill you! You are none of
my children!'
The little girl, with intuition remarka-
BILE for her years. realized that she was
in the grasp of an insane person.
"Grandma, don't get the blood on the
bedclothes. Wait till l get a towel" she
said.
The woman released her hold on the
child's hair, and she ran down into the
kitchen, where she told her mother. The
two hurried to the police station, and an
ambulance removed the old woman to the

Suddenly small vehicle, driven by man
in civilians clothes, appeared.

''Ill be glad Of your company" came the
reply.
The trooper took the seat. A few min

pale.

WORRYING OYer Little ThinRa.

One of the great differences between
men and women seems to be the impor-
:rnce women attach to trifles that man
lakes but little heed of. 1t is little. trou-
bies that overcome her. 1t is not the
great, big, overwhelming disaster that
brushes the life and spirit out of women.
When crisis arrives woman, as rule,
meets it nobly. She is the one to comfort
and sustain the husband, to breathe of
hope for the future and to smilingly look
the difficulty in the face, undaunted by its
magnitude. -
But when, day in and day out, she
meets with petty disappointments, with
worrying economies, and irritating events,
then the brave spirit succumbs, and the
giant failed to accomplish-they can bite
and sting and touch the sore points, and
wound the heart until tears dim the brave
eyes and feminine nature cries out i'll re-
bellion. All, these little things, these
worrying trifes! How lovely life would
be if it were only rid of them!
Greater than the bravery that marches
into battle to the sound of inspiring mu-
sic is the courage that fights alone amid
the shadows, with 10 sympathy from, a
nation, no Notwithstanding encourage
ment. This is the kind of fighting wom-
en- have to do. -
To every class of women come trifles
to worry them. The girl with her lover,
Or the young wife with her husband-if he
does not seem quite so gushing as usual; a
kiss or caress the fewer. or an en-
dearing adjective forgotten. fills her with
alarm-''He loves her less, Hes false,
faithless," and she worries for hours over
this. until at last, to her fearful reproaches
he has to confess that he had tailor's
bill on his mind. or that he had wrong
collar ON, or had to think out an inter
view Oh business. If he fails to write
a letter the very day she expects it, or it
is shorter than the last, the same worry
and anguish of soul, all easily cleared
away and explained. She knows it's fool
ish to worry, but she does it all the same.

Stories About "Biily Mason

The latest story about Senator Billy
Mason concerns the energetic Senator
Chandler of the Granite state. Long ago
the large-hearted Illinois lawmaker had
friend whom he has, in recent years,
lost sight of. The friend lived for time
in Illinois, and later tried his fortunes
farther west, in the state of Colorado.
There he participated in Republican poll
tics, won the esteem Of his fellowwork-
ers, and early in the present session of
Congress was named by Maj. Mckinley
as postmaster of his town. He had been
in Washington more than a week before
the session, attempting to secure the APP
running very low in purse before his
name reached the Senate. Then there
was a long wait for confirmation, and he
was on the. verge of despair.
At last he came across the friend Of
his boyhood, Senator Mason. and to him
he poured out the story of his trials. He
had purchased a round-trip railroad tick
and his nomination was still buried with
a heap of similar other papers, and little
chance of it's being reached.
'tJust stay here for minute" said Sen
ator Mason, after listening patiently to
his story. The meeting was in the SEN
ate corridor, and the Senate was about to
begin an executive SESSION. The Illinois
atcly called up the Colorado case, re-
questing a confirmation at once.
II object to that unless there are some
unusual circumstances put in Senator
Chandler.
''Well. there are unusual circum-
Stances replied Senator Mason, and he
began to talk pathetically of his friends
hardships. ''Why, his wife died.
''Tbat is enough" interrupted Senator
Chandler. .peremptorily; 81 withdraw my
objection" and the nomina ton was con.
frmed then and there.
Il didn't intend to deceive you." said
Senator Mason to Senator Chandler a
few minutes later, ''but you didn't allow
me to finish my sentence. This mans
wife died two years ago."
A member of the House tells another
story on Senator Mason, which is little
older, concerning Ia dy who keeps To-
cal boarding house. The senator board
ed there for awhile, as did the repre-
sentative. The, lady belongs to one of
the well-known churches here, and is

that her boarders must be down early for
