gallantry of men is never more in evi- dence than when they are under the in- fluence of liquor, and it is by this trait which is almost a weakness. that I am able to control the patients under my charge.
 My work is varied At times I am busy at the sanitorium acting as a sort of mother to the poor fellows who come all broken up from the unequal fight. At other times I am on the road escorting patients to the hospital. Between their desire to drink everything in the buffet and to jump off the train and end their troubles, l have a lively time. But l man. age to jolly them along somehow
 Proposals of marriage are an everyday occurrence, and I always accept them and trust to luck that the man will not want to sue for a breach of promise when he sobers up.
 "One man I had to dope. He came in early one morning with his arms full of champagne bottles and the hack driver followed him with two full cases of the stuff He informed me that he was going to drink it all before he went to bed. foolishly tried to hustle him off, and he knocked me Into a corner, where I lay | unconscious for the better part of an hour. When 1 recovered he was asleep 1 but when I tried to move him he insisted on drinking more. Turn about's fair play l filled glass for him and put knockout drops in it.
 This is queer business for a woman, l know; but l seem to have a special abil- l ty in this line and it pays better than anything else. I keep 1t up for the chill dren's sake. Of course I have pride in my work and regard my patients a doctor would regard his"
 Mrs. Trevier's children are in private girls school. They do not like to have their mother doing what she does. and say that as soon as they finish their ed ucation they are going to make her stop it and live with them.

 quently went home much the worse O for liquor. As frequently Mrs. Trevier wept bitterly at the sorry condi- ton of her husband One night Trevier' s unusual mood caused him to threaten the lives of their two babies, when the mother urged him, for their salSes, to give up "the habit" Instantly her motherly in- stinct prompted her to protect her chill dren and told her how to do it. Frankly what happened was that Mrs. Trevier laid her husband completely out. When he regained consciousness the intoxicated man declared that he was sorry and that he would never drink another drop. But the next day a member of his union slapped him on the back jovially and said:
 'Treve heard good story about eye openers last night Come have one and I'll tell it to you"
 Treve, having drunk one on the broth err" insisted on the "brother" having one lon him." The upshot was that Trevier didn't go to work that day And the next he found his discharge hanging on the peg beside the time clock The shock ofthis threatened to result fatally, and to fortify himself the man went out and took a bracer.
 Thereafter, for more than five years. Mrs. Trevier spent much of her time pro- tecting her children and her home against the man who pitilessly took from her the wages she obtained from sewing taken in and spent them in strenuous effort to maintain his steadily departing reputation as a "good fellow" One night he fell onto a street car track They carried his lifeless body to his widows poor home.
 But in that bitter school of experience Mrs Trevier learned a trade-perhaps 1t should be called a profession, now that she has developed 1t so well, and has made 1t so remunera tive-that has enabled her to provide her home and her growing girls with every necessity and with all the luxuries desired.
 Jag Matron" is the title of the pro- fession which she has originated. She has become the most important and use full person in local sanitorium. Her ex- periences are decidedly picturesque.
 "I had a lot of experience and when took up the work it was with a feeling that I knew what I was about" said Mrs. Trevier. q think l can handle q bad case better than a man. The innate

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

The past week has been fairly active in the local real estate market. The ac- tivity which prevailed was almost alto gether in residence property. The de- mand for centrally located business prop erty is very strong but on account of the alleged high prices demanded by the present owners of property of this class very few deals were closed. A local real estate agent in comment ing on the buying and selling of Bir- mingham realty, said.
 "The only reason more large transac- tions in local real estate are not closed is the extremely high prices demanded by holders. Everybody wants 10 get pos session of piece of Birmingham real es- tate and the present owners are not anx- ious enough to rid themselves of it at anything but profitable prices
 "As to residence property, everyone knows how 1t has advanced in value in the past few years or even the past few months, and knowing that 1t will not drop soon home-seekers are buying now, therefore, the large number of trans actions in realty located in the residence portions of the city
 "The advance in the price of property located in the suburbs of Birmingham has been remarkable. All of the suburbs are growing rapidly and investors are taking hold of the advantage"
 |. There were no papers filed in the pro- bate clerks office yesterday recording deals in dirt involving amounts exceeding 5000. The number of transactions. how ever, which involved less than this amount, was large.
