An American Olympiad, pat
termed after the European Olym-
pic athletic contests, will be held
in the stadium during the com
Ing summer, If the plans devised
ny joint committee from the
Commercial club and the Cham
Der Of Commerce do not fall

The meet will be purely an

will govern the contest, while an
official of the organization will
probably be in charge. The A. A.

Girard. Kan.-The morning sunlight
uttered through the little window in
the back office of the State Bank of
Girard, and the bars across the window
cast network of shadows on the
floor The woman who sat in the
heavy Office chair behind the desk
was fifty-eight years old, but her face
showed scarcely a wrinkle, and the
white In her hair glinted now and
then by way of proof that it once
was gold. The woman was Mrs. s.
Alice Haldeman, and she is the banks
president. Mrs. Haldeman has anoth-
er claim to distinction. for she is the
sister of Miss Jane Addams of Hull
House, Chicago.
'Well, yes. I'm the president" she
admitted to visitor. "only 1 don't run
the bank myself; we all run it to-
gether-the two men and l."
1t was 90 years ago that DR.. and
Mrs. Haldeman came to Girard. The
physicians health was poor, and the
move was made on this account from
the home of their childhood in Illinois.
my husband became interested in
the banking business shortly after we
came here" Mrs. Haldeman said, "and
he founded bank of his own. We

The walls of Mrs. Haldeman's house
are lined with shelves and on these
are crowded hundreds of books. Above
the shelves are pictures. drawings
and paintings; of these last there is a
life-size oil painting of her sister
Jane. Marble busts are set on ped
estals and the grand piano is Uttered
with books Of classical music.
On the center table there was a
book of photographs and Mrs. Halde-
man leafed through 1t slowly while
she talked. They were old pictures OF
the old days, most of them showing
scenes of the Addams home at Cedar

At one of the pictures Mrs. Halde-
man paused.

said, and added after a moment,

book and saw once more the faces and
scenes OF the past her eyes became
moist.

Shorthand.

Mr.. John d. Rockefeller shows the
religious side of his character by TAX
ing notes of sermon in order to read
1t to his sick wife. The note-taking
habit is a useful one. When this
great financier becomes his own ste
nographer- he is indulging in a pleas
ant occupation. A knowledge Of
shorthand is good accomplishment
for anyone. Its usefulness is unques-
tionable. Anyone capable of taking
photographic notes need not necessa-
rily be speedy enough for professional
work If one can merely take notes
two or three times as- fast as he could
by using long hand he can catch and
preserve important data. For most
Americans a knowledge of shorthand
is of far more Importance than the
requirement of a foreign language, as
the latter cannot be used often and is
easily forgotten In the public schools
its pursuit would soon make pupils
better spoilers and writers, as well
as more accurate in their pronuncia-
ton and eTsmmar.

Hard to Destroy Species

very little help toward their contin-
uance from the well-meant efforts of
man to that end. In proof of this we
are told that there is an ancient act
OF parliament still in force in England
and Wales prohibiting the taking Of
eggs of certain birds, of which six
kinds are expressly named. In spite
of this protecting law. four of the six
species have ceased to breed in those
countries. The indirect ways In which
such results are brought about are
shown in the destruction of the quail
in New Zealand. The birds once were
numerous; no one wished to destroy
them. But the land was burned over
for other purposes at seasons when
the eggs and young OF the quail were
exposed to destruction. and few
years brought the species to an end

How to Use Red Cross Seals.

How to Use Red Cross Seals" is
the title OF an interesting publication

Facts About Wedding Gifts
Presents Should Be Sent to a Bride
Elect Within Fortnight Of Her
Marriage.

Wedding gifts are sent to a bride
elect within three weeks or fort
night of the day set for her marriage.
Mere visiting acquaintances OF the
families or the couple about to be wed
do well to wait and see whether they
are asked to wedding before for
warding any presents. This course is
not prompted by cold calculation. but
by genuine delicacy. AS soon as the
person thus in doubt receives a card
pleasant assurance is given. and the
gift may then be forwarded.
When wedding cards extending an
invitation to witness merely the mar
riage ceremony are received by one
who acknowledges only the most for
NAL acquaintance with the bride or
groom. or either OF their families.
