The Hotel Windsor fire in New
York developed the fact that
there is one woman who lives lit
orally up to her name. She is
Miss Winter, of St. Paul, who
was stopping at'the Inflated hotel.
Although she was i'll a fourth story
room and cut off by flame, she
kept perfectly cool, almost frigid,
all of the time. When the res
cuers reached her she declined
their assistance until an old wo-
man had been carried down the
ladder. AS Miss Winter was taken
through the window the flames
were so close as to almost scorch
her hair. But when the fireman
put her on the ground at the bot
tom of the ladder, she drew out a
card case and gave him her card,
with the request that he let her
hear from him the next day, or as
soon as was convenient.

SMALL THINGS COUNT BIG.

Men who would never think of
allowing a note or a large account
to stand open are too frequently
careless in regard to small ac-
counts. After all, says writer
in oneiof the trade journals, we are
judged by small things, and what
good is it if a man meets his bank
obligations promptly, and then
causes a. number of people to
whom he owes petty accounts to
go about talking of how hard it is
to get him to pay up. Be as par
ticular about the little accounts
as the big ones.
Do not snub collector because
he calls for aismall account when
it is due. 1t is your fault that he
has to call. Some people resent
either being drawn upon OF. called
upon for a small bill. They for
get it is the other man who has to
stand the expense and trouble of
collecting. Be also as prompt in
collecting your own account as in
paying others. If the losses made
each year by small debts, neglected
because they are small, could be
recovered there would be hand
some dividends in most businesses.

efforts made to prevent rate demorallza-
ton in Trunk Line territory. as a result Of
the action OF the Mallory and Morgan lines
in making low rates to the Missouri river.
and their inclination TO make basing rate
Of 50 cents to St. Louis. Like its predeces-
sors, the conference yesterday between the
traffic officers of the Trunk Lines. the Gulf
mort lines and the Mallory and Morgan
people. at the office OF Commissioner God
dard. was practically barren OF results.
The Mallory people refused to cancel
their tariff with the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf and. IN consequence. the Nor
gan line would not agree to withdraw their
Tstes. This left the situation unchanged,
and IL began to look squally. 1t was
eysntilslly agreed that conference com

matter and report at another joint meat

There is little hope OF any better result

am in favor of selecting line like the
Chesapeake and Ohio, and striking them
hard in their own territory. We gave
them bitter lesson before, and ] doubt
that they want another. Their whole
policy is to offer one pretext after another
for delay, in order to get the bulk OF what
little business there is just now. They
know that we don't want rate war. but
il we should meet their rates now l have
no doubt they would make further reduc-
tons. 1t Is possible that when we meet
again on the 23d they will conclude that
they have gone SO far as it is safe for them
