ASSOCIATES RECOGNIZE
HER STERLING WORTH
Diamond Ring to Miss Susie
NicOIl


While the woman in business now
excites no comment in the modern
business world there are few of the
gentle toiIers who have made quite
the mark in their field of labor as has
Miss Susie w. Nicoll of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company. who the
other day completed a quarter century
of service with that corporation. Miss
Nicolfs name has been on the pas'
roll longer than any other member
of the office staff. Entrusted with the
carrying out of responsible and eX-
acting duties, her ability and sterling
worth are held in peculiar esteem by
the high officials of the souIless cor
poration she has so faithfully served.
Valued by her employers, she is low
ed and respected by her associates on
the office staff. who showed something
of their esteem the other day when
they presented Miss Nicoll with a
handsome diamond ring.
The presentation was made by C.
r. King, who spoke as follows:
On behalf OF your many friends. emploves OF
the Pacific Mail Steamship COMPANY Occi-
dental and Oriental Steamship Companv and
Togo kisen kaisha, l desire to congratulate
you on this, the twenty-ifth anniversary OF
your connection with the Pacific Mail steam
ship Company. and to express the hope that
ing equal health and far greater prosperity
The good fellowship and kindness universally
shown to each and all OF us by you during our
association In the steamship business Is deeply
felt, and a slight manifestation Of our ap-
probation we beg to present you with this
small token OF affection and esteem.
1t Is hoped that this gift will serve as a
memento of this congratulatory occasion, and
that the friendships formed during the last
quarter of a century will continue to flourish
with undiminished vigor until the end Of the
chapter.

RESUMED ON THE sTAIM-
 o'-sHANTER ROUTE


 The "Auld Brig O Ayr" made fa- smous by Ayr's most famous son. has been reopened for traffic. Some four months ago 1t was closed by order of the authorities because 1t was con- sldered unsafe. A native Of the town had left s1O.OOo for the purpose of keep- ing 1t in thorough repair, but the terms of the will were not sufficiently ex- plicit, and the matter went into the law courts. Pending the settlement of the case the town council closed the bridge and set to work to make sure that 1t would not be still further des stroyed by the floods and tides. On this they spent $1,OOO, and now the old arches are supported strongly by wood en erections underneath, capable of bearing the full weight of the bridge should the foundations give way. as they threaten to do. By and by, when the lawsuit is over, the work of 1nak- ing the foundations secure will be tack led, that is, if the $10,00O comes to the bridge as the testator intended. If it does not come, the money will have to be raised in some other way for it would never do to let Ayr's principal attraction fall into ruins, and so de- prive Burns of his credit as prophet. He foretold for it a. long, long life.-- Glasgow Herald
