COAT OF PAINT SAVED BANK.
Clever Device Stopped Run That
Would Have Been Disastrous.

Runs on banks. as all the world
Knows. are often stopped or restricted
n the oldest ways.
rich bank knew that run was
TO set In on a certain Monday morn.
ing--for II had been robbed OF some
postage stamps on Saturday night,
and the robbery had been exaggerated
In the newspaper reports-and II this
run was not kept within reasonable
limits the bank would hive TO close
Its doors. 1t had plenty OF money. but
not plenty OF cash. 1t needed "a hours
time.
Before sunrise on Mondf ! morning
q man put a fresh coat OF paint on the
front doors OF the bank, on the wall
panels, and on the counters. The 70.
suit was that the people who made
the run on Monday made rather q
walk OF II. They wanted their money,
but they rushed no one. On the con
trary. they came on with caution aud
elaboration. SO careful were they
lest they get paint on their clothes
that II took longer TO pay off one OF
them than II would have taken or
dinarily TO pay fve.
This Is one OF many odd tricks
whereby In a run. a bank has saved
itself from wreck.

PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE.
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not In
their origin any direct concern with
education. says the Fortnightly Re
view. But IL is fact ~ no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest In the higher education OF the
workman.
For the last three years some 100..
900 workingmen, members OF the
Amalgamated Society OF Engineers,
have made three levies OF one penny
each to help on the work OF Ruskin
college at oxford. This levy pro.
duces over 1900 year. and by means
OF It six engineers are maintained for
years course OF study at the col.
lege.

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money. and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were STEPPED ON tho stove,
gradually filing q gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it. for always before they had given
1t away freely. They hired Q job
printer to run of some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia K. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia f. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful topre-
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since. are
|, available to sick women the world
over, and represent vast collabora-
! ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
!, authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia K. Plnkham worked her
daughter in law. the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
J for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
I direction of the work when its origina.
i tor passed away. For nearly twenty.
, five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
!, pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
K capable as herself, the present Mrs
o Pinkham continues this greatw work, and

With bound, Williams was on his
feet and tearing across the roof and
through the scuttle hole. Down to the
end of the corridor he dashed. A man
dressed in a bath robe emerged from
room on the corridor and stood gaz-
ing at him In wonder.
Get into your clothes there, you!"
he cried, harshly, 'and get out OF this
floor quicker than lightning. This
place is on fire!"
The mans eyes widened in sudden
comprehension, and with a yell Of dis
may he disappeared. The next mo-
ment Williams was in the elevator.
"Down!" he cried, las fast as you
know how! Get every one out of these
floors as fast as you can, do you hear?
This place is on fire! There's not
minute to lose!"
The operators face blanched: he
yanked the rope, and they went down
like the wind. The captain was out
like flash, and, tearing through a
side entrance, got to his crew In the
street.
Here, you fellows! Get that hose!

THE
NEW YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read wherever the English Language
is spoken.

The Thr1ce-a-W Week World was brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
proyal on the Thrice-a-Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more extern
sive than ever All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thriee-a-week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns
and Democrat and Republican alike car
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of al
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a.
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular sub
scription price is only $1.00 per year ant
this pays for 156 papers. We offer this un
equaled newspaper and THE SMYRNA TINE
together one year for $1.75. The regula
subscription price of the two papers is $500
