Story About An Old Maid

without knowing that she has helped
someone. much or little. Isn't 1t a
beautiful habit? And how much more
beautiful the whole world would be II
everybody had this habit!
Oh. yes; we know you help a per.
son, here and there. IL II comes in your
way 10 do so, and that's all right. but
the habit of doing so is different. II
is different TO rise In the morning
and say Il will this day put into some
ones life a little kindness, little
sympathy, a little help and sunshine,
going 10 sleep at night with tie
knowledge that II have this day help
ed someone"
This old maid we've told about can
not give money, or clothes, or food
for she has a struggle 10 keep her
self iu these things. There Is no sen
timent OF charity in her giving, but
Just 'helpfulness and the difference be
tween charity and helpfulness Is as
great as that between land and water
But, daily, she babitually does some
thing for somebody else and, God
bless her, her credits on the great
ledger OF human deeds are more
numerous than those of a Carnegie
or a Rockefeller. She sacrifices her
self She gives some part OF herself
She makes it part OF her life TO. day
after day, without fail, help somebody
else.
II takes a flower TO a sick one. a
kind word TO a child, dime to an
honestly needy one, sympathetic
touch OF the hand to one who is
down, a lift where human indifference
would prompt a push out OF the way
TO fasten this habit OF helpfulness en-
you as the bad habits which you. and
all the rest of us surely have, are fast
ened on you. Suppose you try 1t, max
ing IL one of the daily. unforgettable
imperious obligations OF life.

JUMPED FROM HIS CAP AFTER
RECEIVING PAINFUL
BURNS.
HIS ARM WAS BROKEN IN THE
FALL-AcclDENT OCCURRED
ON COAST LINE ENGINE NEAR
sLADEN YESTERDAY MORNING.

When an arch-pipe on an incoming
Atlantic Coast Line freight train ex-
ploded yesterday morning near 3la-
den, Engineer R. C. Jones, who was
at the throttle, had a narrow escape
for his life. The pipe bursted with
such force that the furnace door of
the engine was blown open, the hot
steam and fire bursting out into the
engineers face, severely scalding him
about the face, head and neck. In
an effort to escape death he jumped
from the engine and in the fall hrs
left aim was broken.
The negro fireman, Bob Williams,
escaped without serious injury He
also Jumped from the engine, and IN
the fall his back was sprained.
The freight train was coming along
near Bladen about $50 and was NOV
ing at speed of about twenty miles
an hour Just what caused the arch
pipe to burst is not known, but hard
ly before the engineer had realized
what had occurred the engine cab
was filled with exploding steam and
flames from the boiler, and the only
escape of safety was for the engineer
and fireman to jump FOR their lives.
News of the accident was at once
received in the city and Drs. G. w.
Blanton and l. N. Bishop were sent
to Bladen on a special train, arriving
there only a short time after the ac-
cident occurred. Engineer Jones was
brought to the city where he received
medical attention, while the colored
fireman was sent to the A. G. l.. hos
pjtal in WayCross.
While Mr.. Jones received very pain
full injuries his many friends will be
glad to learn that they are not seri-
