New Idea in Matches.

A man stopped at the checking
room of a department store and
checked his watch. Lots of people
do that nowadays" remarked the at
tendant. Somehow the impression
has got abroad that an unusually
large number OF crooks are conduct
ing their special line of business in
department stores just now. When
people begin to take precaution
against pickpockets the first thing
they look out for is their watches
They are willing to take chances on
safeguarding the rest of their pos
sessions themselves. but their
watches they leave with us Until they
are through shopping. New York

Five minutes after she had been hit
by an automobile at Thirty fourth street
aud Broadway, a woman obtained dam

and a slight bruise on the arm to show
for her narrow escape from death.
Policeman Dan Rim, of the traffic

"Will $40 cover the damage?' he ask
ed the dazed victim.
Eyes. sir, said the woman.
Give it to her., ordered Rim to the

Stenning Stones to Glory.

When God saves us He does it not
alone for our good, but for His. He
expects us to work for Him and to
see that not one of His children is
turned away hungry or thirsty. Sac
rifice and unselfishness are the step
ping stones to glory and in my mind
the least of the work of saving a soul
is done when we have gotten the pen
itent to open his heart to God. 1t is
the after-work that counts, the dis
play of the friendly Christian spirit
that shows the new convert that he
has friends on earth and in heaven.

ANTIPATHY TO WOMEN.

The National Bank of Meridian,
Miss, seems to have an antipathy to
women in business. 1t is said that
recently it sent some papers to the
State Bank at Evanston, ILL.,, that
needed to be attested by notary
public. Miss Mabel Rice is a notary
of good standing in Evanston and the
papers were sent to her to be pre-
pared. She affixed her seal as notary
public and the papers were returned
to Meridian. They came back with
the message:
I'VE want a man notary public to
fix up these papers, not woman"
Now club women are wondering if
the National Bank of Meridian will
refuse to take deposits from women.

NURSING A MODERN HEROISM.

NURSING A MODERN HEROISM.
The trained nurse goes into battle
encouraged by none of the blood
stirring indictments of the soldier.
She is often entirely alone; her strug-
gle must be quiet, and her antagonist
is grim and terrible and ever watch
full, because it is death itself. Sup
pose it is you yourself who are sud
denly smitten in the midst of your
life and work, says Anne O'Hagan, in
The Delineator. With the coming of
the trained nurse you feel infinite re-
lief and Thanksgiving. You are no
longer obliged to struggle alone, to
watch the door alone lest that Other
One enter The nurse, calmest of
warriors, least grim of sentinels, sits
beside your bed and will keep the
vigil for you. You transfer the bat
tie to her. For yourself you will lie
still and think-not of the com bat
before you, not of the turmoil behind
you-that whirling, dusty conflict OF
the world which was so important
little while ago-but of the great, i'm
portant things-earth and its green
ness, the wide, white country skies on
moonlight nights, the flash of blue
birds wings in the September sun
shine, all the daily miracles you had
forgotten to watch when you were
hurrying to those manifold appoint
ments of yours. Now you are in the
region where only ''the mightier
movement sounds and passes, only
winds and rivers, only life and death. I"
