ROMANTIC BUT REAL.
A PRINCE EDWARD GIRL A "KNlGBI OF
THE ROAD"
Winning New LaurelS at the New Work.


Some years ago Miss Matte Bell
who lived in a quiet country home IN
the Douglas neighborhood Of Prince
Edward. had her attention attracted
to an advertisement of a firm doing
business in the great city Of Philadel-
phia. She felt that she could do the
work the firm wanted done though
she had never done it, and made
ready to 90 to Philadelphia and make
application for the position in person.
This she did and when she reached
the city and went to the office she
was appalled, by the presence OF
large number who she knew were
there to press their claims to the same
position. Nothing daunted, however
She bided her time waited her turn
and was made glad when she won the
coveted prize after only few minutes
talk with the manager This business
she went in search of was that OF halr
dressing. and before leaving her hotel
TO 90 TO the store she was smart
enough to arrange her own hair IN
fashionable and faultless style and
no doubt but that the merchant rea-
soned. If this young woman displays
such good taste in arranging her own
hair she can of course teach others to
arrange theirs"
The bargain was then made the
sample case packed and thus armed
this Prince Edward girl went out from
a city of strangers into other strange
cities to make an honest living and
in the effort has won not only the Nv
ing but high honors as well.
Miss Bell has been resting OF late al

President Taft
Seeks Improved

Chief Executive fresides at Board
Meeting Of Jeanes Fund-Prom-
inent Men Are Present.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-President Taft
presided this afternoon at the annual meet
ing of the executive board Of administra-
ton Of the Jeannes fund Of Sl,OO 900 for the
betterment of the small rural negro schools
in the south. which was held in the cabinet
room at the White House
Andrew Carnegie, Booker T. Washington,
George Foster Peabody, Walter H Page,
Dr. J. H. Dillard Of New Orleans and
Bishop Grant Of Kansas were among those
who attended and spoke.
1t was decided to continue work under
the fund upon the plan adopted last year,
that of sending teachers through the south
who in reality teach the teachers OF the
rural schools there in the newer methods
of education. The number Of these teach
ers was Increased from 40 to 152, this hav-
ing been made possible by an unexpected
balance from last year from interest
earned on the original endowment The
need OF additional funds with which TO
carry on the work was emphasized by an
appeal from 100 colored principals and
teachers in the south.
The Jeanes fund teachers are divided into
three clRsses-extension teachers, superyis-
ing teachers and organizing teachers. They
divide their work among LOO schools in
ten of the southern states.
Prof. q. c. Caldwell, former president Of
the Louisiana State Normal school, was
elected field agent and assistant to the
president Of the board, a newly created
office.
The board adjourned 10 meet again at the
White House the second Thursday Of next

The joint session of retah dealers and

was out Of joint. The jobbers Of Omaha
were not there
The dealers and leaders in the formation
Of the organization were sore and they
said so in d knockfest that lasted two
hours.
The spirit of the meeting was crystallized
into a resolution presented as adopted
as follows:
Resolved, That the indifference OF the
Omaha and Council Bluffs jobbers toward
our meetings has Deen GlscCUrsging. Inas-
much as this ASSOCIATION was primarily or
gsnIEed toI the mutual corporation be
tween the dealer and Jobber, the indiffer-
enee OF the latter indicates that they have
their interests conserved and that 1t is
left TO US TO fight our own battles
w h Green OF Creisht presented the
resolution as chairman OF sthe committee
and in a later address declared that the
jobbers had made a plot not TO attend
the meeting Of the association He hinted
at possible back-fire in the way Of price
secrets and gave utterance TO the general
declaration of war.

Omaha jobber, who was 10 have addressed
the meeting, failed to appear.
William KrUtrer of Stuarl, president de-
clared that the ;obbers here had urged
that the convention be held in Omaha for
the sole purpose of drawing dealers into

them goods. This charge was repeated in
