Upon the Threshold,

Once more we stand with half-reluctant
Upon the threshold of another year:
That line where Past and Present seem
In stronger contrast than they do else
where
Look back a moment. Does the prospect.
Or does the weary heart but sigh re-
Can Recollection smile. or, ill at ease
With what is past, wish only to forgetf
Say, canst thou smile when Memory's
lingering gaze
Once more recalls the dying year to
wouldst thou live Ger again those chang
Or bid them fade forever into night?
solemn question, and the faltering
quite saw NO
For joy and sadness both have played
In making up the tale of long ago"
Here Memory sees the golden sunlight
Across the path of life and shine
And now the picture changes like a
And sorrow dims the eyes and kills
the smile
So-it has somewhere all has gone be-
The moaning wind has sung the dead
Times waves roll on against the crum-
And sinks the WORKOUT bark beneath

1t was crisp, wintry day. The few
pedestrians who preferred brisk
walk in the open to half-hearted at
tempt at keeping warm in an over
crowded car, were hurrying down
Broadway. The snow cracked under
their brisk tread and the cold north
wind crept in behind high coat collars
and mischievously nipped hiding ears.
In the stenographer's room at the
Peoples Bank, Miss Ramsey sat by
the low radiator, trying to thaw, as
she expressed it, the while she sorted
the accumulation of yesterdays cor
respondence. As she worked, COM
Portable feeling of contentment stole
over her. OF a truth her lines had
fallen in pleasant places. The bank
was perfection in all it's appointments.
The duties which came under the
stenographer's ken were neither ardu-
Gus nor unpleasant. Stocks, bonds, de-
posits and investments were SO IA
miliar that they almost wrote them
selves, as her fingers travelled over
the shining keys.
But, not the least pleasant of her
surroundings were her associates;
those officials and minor incumbents,
who made up the working force-the
living furniture of well appointed
establishment.
There was the president. Few Of
ficers could boast an employer SO af-
fably courteous, SO thoughtful of 9TH
ers, so near the ideal, as the Hon.
Mortimer Bedding, president of the
Peoples Bank. He commanded the
unbounded respect of the entire force,
and as for Miss Ramsey, to her he
was the embodiment of all the graces
that could be bottled up in one en-
ployer.
Then, there was the presidents son,
who occupied the dual role of cashier
of the bank and the ardent admirer
of Annette Ramsey. And, such is. the
fraility of human nature, to this frank,
open-hearted, care-free scapegrace,
Miss Ramsey had given her whole
heart. A half smile f1ickered at the
corners of her mouth as she thought
of Jack Bedding. She remembered his
still was the recollection of his faith
er's righteous indignation when Jack
came home from college in dire dis
grace. 1t was the old story of mis-
applied energy and the doubtful glory
of athletic victory at the expense of
fgnominious defeat in every exam"
in the course.
There was no interruption in her
happy musings as she went out into
the general office to file the letters

little things that had gone to make

seek Women as ARisks."

One of the last achievemts of wom-
an has been in the insurance field
not as a worker, but as subject. For
a long time women met with ever
possible rebuff and disbursement
when they wanted to insure their
lives: Some companies would accept
q woman as a risk, but severe cOndi-
lions were put on the policy.
A woman was compelled to stand a
physical examination even more rigid
than that undergone by men, and then
if accepted, was required to pay an
extra premium to cover any fatality
that might befa1I her. simply because
she was woman.
1t has been only within the last year
that these prejudices have been
thrown aside by many companies and
that the privilege of insuring them is
being sought.
1t has been discovered that instead
of being a poor risk woman is good
risk-that she lives longer than man.
It has taken fifty years to convince
many companies of this fact, but now
that they have acknowledged it they
are seeking women as insurance risks.

round ball upon which they live and
put plant life and animals upon it they
are to be shown how he provided food
and drink, clothing and shelter, for
the trees and plants, for the animals
of field and forest, for the birds of
the air, for the fish of the deep, and
for man.
They should then consider the sub
ject of rest-the winter rest of the
earth, of trees, of animals, the nightly
rest of bird and beast, of the workman,
of the children; by these natural
means they should be led up to the
idea of the Sabbath rest. From con-
temptation of the pleasures which they
enjoy from light, color, music and &C
tivity they would come to understand
the custom of giving thanks to the
Creator. Special lessons are prepared
for the Christmas and the Easter sea-
sons, and the observation work or the
children should be supplemented by
home and school reading of selected
nature books.

Young Actors LaughabIe ''BuII" in His
First Speaking Part.
Charles Frohman, the theatrical
manager, tells of an amusing and
ludicrous mistake made by a young
actor in a play once produced by Mr..
Frohman.
The young actor had, up to this
time, employed his talents in enact
ing such roles as called for no speech
on his part But in this play he was
intrusted with the following line, the
only words to be spoken by him dur.
ing the entire play:
1.-The King is dead! Long live the
King!"
The critical time arriving, it was OBJ
served by other players hat the young
man who was to acclaim the new mon
arch in the words just quoted was suf-
fering from a dreadful attack of stage
fright. His cue came, but no words
could he speak, so frightened was he
Finally, however, he pulled himself
together and, in desperation, shouted
at the top of his. voice:

A shadow of fear crossed Mr.. Beld-

lowered above him accusingly, and
Annette Ramsey gazed with wide-open

Without a word, the president of
the Peoples Bank strobe over to his
desk, and, pressing secret spring,
drew out the package of securities
and gave it to Jack. Then, as he
bowed his head, the two stole out and
quietly shut the door.

dangers and horrors of travelling in
West Africa, felt she must go out of
mere feminine curiosity.
