The Heroine of the Occasion.

The Richmond policeman who
caught two children as they were
thrown to him, one at time, by
their mother from an upstairs window
of burning building. had probably
trained as a baseballist. and was a
catcher all right. But the mother
seems TO have been even more skillful
as pitcher. though she had never
trained for that leading part in the
national game. Probably neither will
get Carnegie hero medal, but if the
honor should come to either we vote
for the little woman that stood in the
lmminence of peril. and had the cool
head and steady nerve to deliver the

MuAENs
Unnamed and forever the tameless
The frail and forever the free.
Unashamed and forever the shameless
The top OF creation is she.
All civilizations have passed her
And left her barbarian still.
And man who had dreamed he was
master,
Is simply slave of her will.
She shippers and chances demurely.
And looks like a saint as she goes /:
AS sweet as a lily, yet surely
She's leading some man by the nose.
For hers are the primal resources
Of strong unregenerate sense:
Duplicity marshals her forces
And art is her subtle defense.
On, man, you may marvel and wonder,
May reason and argue and fret;
On, man, you may buster and blunder
You never have conquered her YETI
You lecture and tutor and teach her,
But still she's ever the same,
The free, irresponsible creature
That nothing can fetter or tame.

Pawning a 30 Note.

salesman. Il saw a man pawn one
the other day for $3.50. When asked
why he didn't spend his $40 instead of
soaking II for a little more than half
the amount, he explained that he
wanted 10 keep that particular bill
Twice before he had tried to keen a
certain bill by giving it as security to
a friend who had so many bills that
he wouldn't need to spend that par
ticular one, but both times the friend
got his money mixed and the Keep
sake was lost after all. This time he
depended upon the pawnbroker to tide
him over. To pawn money struck me
as very curious proceeding, but the
broker assured me that it is frequent
ly done by people who attach a senti-
mental value to a particular bill or
coin. York Sun.
