A trolley had stopped for cross-fine

Two women who were hurrying by in

women who had sense enough to know

but the sudden changing in their very
ears made both jump with terror and
really affected one of them SO seriously
that she put her hand to her heart and
Staggered as she scuttled to the curb.
The other woman stood her ground and
gave it to the motorman good and hard
You've got heap to do. haven't you?

A woman with "A good. honest, red face
and eyes as clear as spring water gave
hundreds OF people something to grin ana
gabble about the other afternoon she
had reached the corner OF 9TH and ID
streets when some mental calculation
made her stop suddenly and look into her
handbag. Something must have gone
wrong with her finances, for the inventory
brought 10 the clear eyes that distracted
look that comes from trying to think up
where the money went. Then she dlFeo
into the bag again and rummaged through
its contents. her face puckerlng INTO an
endless chain of wrinkles as she searched.
Then she pumped herself down on the
curbstone and emptied the contents Oh
the bag into her lap.
For her the passing crowds had no eN-
istence She was alone with her emotions
and her handbag. There were WlSps OF
packages and d spilled-out display OF
tape. spool cotton. shoe laces and safety
pins. There was some narrow PINK iidli
ribbon and one of those knitted WOOL
clowns that str Ike cymbalS when pulled
with Il string. The price of eacn OF these
purchases did the woman count up pE
humping her fingers Oh her knee. out
her anxiety showed no sign OF letup
until with a fash of belated memory she
pushed q hand under ne" jacket and
brought out and unwrapped pin with
glass set that was better than real en-
erald because it was twice as green
The money problem was solved; the
wrinkles slid out of the honest red face.
and the woman having stuffed her things
back into the bag. scrambled to her feet
and walked off, serenely unconscious OF
the excitement she had created
And she'll never give her spectacular
stunt a second thought, observed one OF
two men who had enjoyed the show. ''un
less somebody asks her how she got all
that dust on the back of her dress"

Two Young women and a small boy were

 The NaugatucIl high school bas- ketball team was defeated last night by the Yale freshmen team in a game that was well played, and al though at times quite rough, still the players seemed to take things good naturedly and to look upon this roughness as part of the game, which undoubtedly it is. The work of Meegan for the locals and of Strawbridge for the freshmen was the feature of the game. The final score was. Freshmen 40, N. H. s. 2S. The lineup was as follows: N. H. s. Yale Freshmen.

SAFETY STATIONS
 WILL BE PROVIDED

AS a result of the American Mining Congress- session, held in Pittsburg De cember 1 to 5, it is semi-officially an- nounced that the government will estab- fish stations throughout the important mining sections of the United States for the purpose of testing mine explosives
 It is also suggested that after proper legislation has been had, national as well as state, that the matter of enforc- ing safety precautions will be one of the duties incident to these stations.
 Already there has been suggested to President Taft the creation of a Depart ment of Industries. It is reported in press dispatches that John Hayes Hammond, the rich mining engineer who was pres ident of the republican clubs in the late campaign, has declared that he desired no office under President Taft unless this department should be created.
 The greatly increased loss of life in connection with the development of the mining industry of this country has brought forcibly to the front the proposi- tion of the preservation of human life in this industry and the reducing to the min imum at least the dangers of mining.
 In no way could this be advanced on more practical lines than the establish ment of stations for the testing of ex- plosives and close study of meterologi- cal conditions which varies in not only different sections of the country, but in different mines of the several sections.
 These views are concurred in by men representing not only the technological phase of the questions, but also such practical men as John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers, and Alexander Dempster, chairman of the Monongahela River Coal and Coke company.
 Congressman Burke, who attended the sessions of the mining congress, made the statement that there would be a creation by Congress of Bureau of Mines within 60 days after the assembling of the pres ent Congress.

HOW WE GROW.
Five Points Which Act as Drawing
 Cards to This Great District.

These are the points which lift the Bir- mingham district so high above the av- craze in southern development.
 l. Natural resources-iron, coal, lime rock, health and forestry.
 ?. Salubrious climate, with health-giv- ing mountain air, forettry and soil.
 8. Splendid citizenship, with energy, am- bition and a certainty of reward for ev- cry worthy effort
 A. Occupying a geographical center, with everything in a business way fo- cused toward us.
 5. The eyes of the investing world trained fully to look this way, and drawn thither by results already accomplished. These five points make Birmingham great today, with certainty of a much greater future.
