Hatpins Were Made Safe.

The joy of two of those women who
delight in the rapier effect in hatpins
in crowded subway and elevated
trains ended in woe and threats of
vengeance several days ago. The two
women boarded northbound express

laden with parcels, and one of them
wore particularly vicious hatpins, the
points of which protruded at least
six inches beyond her hat.
The woman had no difficulty in
working her way we'll into the car, for

ability, but the seniors, sharing in
the general conviction. caused their
gray matter TO evolve an interpreted
ton of the conditions of the contest,
the execution of which brought their
final runner in two laps and a half
ahead of the finishing junior.
By the conditions agreed upon,
each of the five men of the four
teams was to run a mile and it was
generally believed that each man
should run that distance in one heat,
but no such construction was made
by the shrewd seniors. When the
C. was run, their first man sped
around the course once, a quarter of
a mile, and then was relieved by a
fresh man while the Junior contest
ants each ran four laps without a
rest. Each senior ran a mile but he
did it in four heats between which
he regained his breath and serength,
The sophomores also worked the
same move on the freshmen and sue
ceeded in nosing out as the seniors
had the juniors.
Ruling that the seniors did not con-
form to the requirements of the meet,
Albert Asbahr, the official at the
meet, awarded the a to the juniors.
Second place in the race was ia
ken by the freshmen. while the soph-
ignores were awarded third.

 One afternoon, feeling rather tired F ,tx
 we stopped at farm cottage and pro-
 cured milk and fresh bread. The good
 wife, typical belle of Normandy, was most kind to us. She spread our feast in the vine-clad summer house of her lovely garden.
 In the distance we could plainly dis tinguish the tower where Jeanne d'Arc was imprisoned for so many weary
 months. Jack pityingly narrated few 1 instances concerning her imprison-
 ment which history fails to relate. In the midst of his conversation, our hostess disappeared. She returned, however, almost immediately, holding in her hand a small box of antique cop
 per. Giving this to Jack, she request
 ed him to examine it's contents. Upon opening the box he drew forth
 a rosary, much discolored from age,
 the beads being evidently of ivory. After murmuring a short prayer, she
 gave us the history of the rosary. One
 of her ancestors was the keeper of
 Jeanne d'Are during the period of inn
 prisonment at Rouen. He was de-
 voted to this unfortunate maid. and

cid everything in his power to re- with appetizing food and at the risk of his life delivered messages to her friends. During the long siege of her trial he faithfully served her in every lanner, and when the Inquistion final ly condemned her to death at the stake he was heart-broken. The bish- op of Beauvais ordered her Bible and rosary to be destroyed, denying her the consolation of religion, so far as his power extended. Crushed and hu- inflated, she awaited her terrifying fate. The keeper, at her request, pro- cured a rosary from a sympathetic priest, who was powerless to aid the maid. She was quite overcome by the keepers devotion, and blessed him many times.
 Finally, the day set for the awful event arrived and the innocent vic- tim of superstition was led forth from her prison tower to pay the price of her service to Charles VII. of France. When the light had been applied to the fagots and the flames rose about the frail form of Jeanne d'Arc, the un- relenting bishop discovered the ros- ary suspended at her side. He order ed priest to remove it, but as he drew near the saintly Jeanne the flames formed forbidding barrier, which no one could brave.
 The rosary is the cherished treasure of the little woman, who is the only surviving member of her family. She claims that the rosary possesses the power of consolation, however great the sorrow may be.
 Dear Jean, you should know her! She is the personification of peace and repose.
 We leave for Paris in a week. Do arrange to join us there! Ever lovingly,

To the ordinary man the difference between profession and a calling is tndistinct But the law makes a sharp distinction. This Is well illus trated by recent decision of the supreD6e court of Washington A sur veyoe was employed to give the lines of lot that the owner might put up a building Later the city notified the owner that his building projected seV- eral feet over the property line, and he sued the surveyor for the expense of moving it back. The interesting thing about the case was the claim of the surveyor that he was not paid for, nor did he make a guaranteed survey. but that he had made a mistake In judgment This the court would not allow. In profession. judgment plays an important part; In a calling. req sonable skill and accuracy are more essential from a legal point of view Consequently the courts do not as a rule hold lawyer or physician re sponsible for errors of judgment; 1t is a clients business to engage men of good judgment Under the Wash ington courts ruling surveying is a calling and not profession
