THE GIRL LsoAFER.
She Who Spends Her Time In Doing
Absolutely Nothing,

Absolutely Nothing.
A girl loafer-that does not sound
very pretty, does 1t? And yet there
are good many girls whom the title
fits. III other words, there are girls
who spend their time doing absolutely
nothing. Circumstances do not render
1t necessary for them to earn their
living, and SO they stay at home and
fritter the precious moments away in
useless pursuit or tdleness. Don't a
good many Of them lie in bed in the
morning and let their mothers get up
and get breakfast? And don't you
think they also dress up in their best
clothes and spend the afternoon ell
joylng themselves while their mothers
stay home and prepare the evening
meal9 And when they are home they
spend their time reading trashy nov
els or trimming equally trashy hats.

DIR. GILLETTs BIG FEE.

Made General Manager of Mutual For
Saving Mrs. McCurdy.
Just how DR.. Walter R. Gillette was
taken from a comparatively obscure
position in the medical department Of
the Mutual Life Insurance company
and made general manager was told
recently, says the New York Herald.
DR.. Gillette had for dozen years
been the family physician Of Richard
A. McCurdy. The social relations be-
tween the physician and the McCurdy
family were close. Mrs. McCurdy was
taken suddenly i'll and her malady for
a time baft1ed the physicians skill. Mr..
McCurdy became alarmed and desired
to call in specialists, but to this DR..
Gillette demurred. The doctor insisted
that he could handle the case without
assistance
For time after that Mrs. McCurdy's
ailment did not seem to yield to the
treatment and one day when his wife
was very low Mr.. McCurdy called DR..
Gillette into his private office and said:
Gillette l fear that l am going to
lose my wife. Perhaps there is no rea-
son for my being alarmed, but l cannot
help it. Can you give me any hope?
DR.. Gillette assured Mr.. McCurdy
that he had every confidence in Mrs.
McCurdy's ultimate recovery.
Gillette" said Mr.. McCurdy, "if you
can restore my wife to health l will
make you general manager of the Mu-
tual Life. l mean what l say and you
will see that will keep my promise"
Within a month Mrs. McCurdy was
convalescent and soon after her COM
plete recovery Mr.. McCurdy announced
through circular letter sent to all the
agents throughout the country that
Walter r. Gillette had been appointed
general manager of the Mutual Life
The salary which DR.. Gillette received
thereafter was nearly three times what
he received as q member Of the medi-
cal board. DR.. Gillettes final advance
ment to the post of vice president Of
the company, with equal powers to
those vested in Mr.. Grannis, is a mat
ter of record.

CRUMBLING OF GIBRALTAR.
How the Famous Rocks Masses Have
to Be Bound Together.


The public is not aware that the
great rock of Gibraltar is tumbling
down; that its crumbling, rotting mass
es must be continually bound together
with huge patches of masonry and ce-
ment, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Yet they who sail past Gibraltar can
not fail to notice on the eastern slope
of the fortress enormous silver colored
patches cleaning in the sun. These
patches, in some cases thirty or forty
feet square, are the proof of Gibraltar's
disintegration. OF thick, strong ce-
ment, they keep huge spurs Of the
cliffs side from tumbllng into the blue
sea.
Sea captains cruising in the Mediter-
ranean say that Gibraltar has been
rotting and crumbling for many years,
but that of late the disintegration has
gone ON at a faster rate than hereto
fore.
They say that the stone forming this
imposing cliff is rotten stone and that
in a little while the phrase, 1.-THE
strength of Gibraltar" will be mean

One OF the most remarkable bank

one That has attracted the attention
and admiration of large number of
the bankers in attendance upon the
annual convention of the national as
ISOLATION, is that made by woman
Mrs. V. F. Church, cashier of the
Bank OF Joplin, of Joplin, Mo-, who
is one of the two women delegates to
the meeting. On a capital stock of
only $1,000 the surplus fund of her
bank is shown to>be $3.50, 00o; depos-
its $476, 579.3l; interest and exchange
$5,311.49.
This is Mrs. Church's first attend
ance upon the national convention,
and, likewise, her first visit to the ma
TONS capital city. The president of
the bank being unable to attend she
was chosen to represent it at the con-
vention.
Mrs. Church is a banker and ''mon-
ey woman" through and through from
early training, her career having be-
gun when she was yet in her early
girlhOod. She grew up, practically,
with the institution, almost from its
foundation, and the success of the lit

in a large measure to her rare ability

The Bank of Joplin was organized
as a private institution by r. w.

1882, but in few years it passed into
the sole proprietorship of the former,
who has since remained at its head as
president.
