MISS RANDOLPH A
 FINISHED ARTIST

The program presented by Miss Co., ra Randolph, of Cincinnati, last night at the Temple under the auspices cf the Ladies Temple Society, sparkled with originality and the large audience present enjoyed the vel chosen selec- tions from James Whitcomb Riley, Paul Dunbar and other noted authors imemnsely. She displayed remark able versatility and fineese seldom combined in the same reader. Miss Randolph is a finished artist. She kept the audience intensely absorbed for two hours, being accompanied by Pine Bluff popular organist, Mrs. F.. E. Renfrow, who played skillful ac- compartments on the piano, adapted to each piece. Myra Kelley's Santa Claus" and Kipling's "The Light That Failed were specially appealing ill their pathos, while Riley's And Old Sweetheart of Mine" and Dumbars Candle Lightin' Time" were of eX- ceptional sweetness. s'Vot is Love was the funniest of the humorous 1 pieces, of which there were many While in the city Miss Randolph was entertained at the home of Mrs. M Eisenkramer on West Barraqut

AN UNEXPECTED REWARD.
The Disappointment of the Two Boys
Who Assisted the Old Lady.

Some people never perform an act of
kindness without hoping to receive u
reward: Often such people are disap-
pointed. much after the fashion of the
two boys in the following story: An
old lady was counting her money and
while doing so dropped a coin. 1t fell
into a wood box full of wood and shay
ings. She was almost frantic at her
loss. being a misery woman Seeing
two boys playing near her home, she
called TO them.
IF you find my piece Of money l will
give you a cent"
The boys began hunting eagerly for
the lost coin. At the end of an hour
they gave a shout of delight, for the
piece of money had been discovered.
The old lady grasped her precious coin
and. saying that they had earned their
reward, went to a shelf, took down a
bottle which had contained some per
fume and gave each boy a scent of the
lingering Odor.

DARING BELL RINGERS.
Primitive Method Employed In Seville,
In the Ciralda,

In ordinary circumstances bell ring
ing is a peaceful occupation to which
white haired, venerable men seem
ideally suited. But the men who ring
the bells in the famous Giralda of Sc
vile must be young men OF unusual
agility and steadiness of nerve, says
Youths Companion.
When the city is to make merry on
feast day the ringers climb TO the bel
fry. and then. by the aid of n rope
and steps cut in the wall of the tower,
each mounts TO the bell he is to ring
and stands astride its brazen Shout
ders. Then he presses the bell with
his feet. holding on to the crosspiece
to which 1t is swung.
Gradually the great bell sways TO
the movement of the man astride it
until it acquires a momentum that
swings the hammer first gently and
then with increasing force, as the
sweep of the bell widens, until the air
is trembling from the blows that strike
the massive sides.
The riders bend and rise and fall
with the action of the bells, now APP
pearing to the observer from below
TO be in a horizontal position as the
bell reaches the limits of its swing
and again riding gracefully to IN up
right position as the Monster sways

note.
The most extraordinary part of the
daring performance is the sight of the
bell ringer calmly swaying the bell

and Regulations
By CLARENCE p. HURLEY

The Continental Express company is
a great institution. 1t does business In
every state between the s~eaboards, and
its employees, who are messengers on
trains, local agents, route agents, office
men and drivers, number thousands.
The Continental continues to be great
and to pay dividends because it takes
a particular interest in the goings In
and comings out of each of its en-
ployees. 1t demands services of them
and loads responsibilities upon them at
which bank presidents would shudder.
The company's motto, il a thing so
| thoroughly useless were ever an APP
pendage of an enterprise so utilitarian.
would be, "The Continental expects ev-
cry man to do his duty"
The corporation m nearer to rep
~resenting abstract justice than the SUI
preme court. Good men are advanced
in precisely the degree they deserve
| advancement. Bad men are punished.
The Continental stands ready to spend
$1,000 in convicting the man who steals
q hundred. Employees who have CIV
en- the best years of their life to its
| service are pensioned. The only touch
of human nature about it is the pres
ent of q five dollar bill, which, with a
| formal and frosty little letter, is sent
| each Christmas to every employee who
| has worked for the Continental a year
or more.
The spirit and essence of the Cont
mental is its book of "Rules and Regu-
lations." The tome is a ponderous
mass of bound circulars a foot thick.
Every fortnight or so another printed
| yellow folder is issued, bringing the
express world up to date, and this is
duly read by agent or messenger and
fastened into the covers.
Somewhere in the musty depths OF
the rules and Regulations" are In
structions covering every possible con-
tingency, from handling Egyptian
mummies to the feeding Of live stock
in transit. No matter how absurd an
employees procedure in an emergency,
when viewed in the light Of common
sense he has only to quote "Rules and
Regulations" correctly. He is sure OF
forgiveness. And the man who is
versed in "Old II. and R." as the book
is called, is held by his colleagues In
much the same half enyious regard
with which ministers look upon q
brother who knows his Bible exceed.

And Marion, with fond belief in Bob

Bobby was thinking up ways and
means one winters night as he turned
his horses head homeward with the

train. The first quarter mile of the
journey. between solid rows of lumber
piles q L lighted by a single arc light
was lonesome. Bobby often thought
that if a holdup for the valuable mon.

tempted it would be ON this stretch of
narrow, deserted street.
The possibility of such an occurrence
was always present. Tonight 1t be-
came a reality. A man, a dark cloth

nan went down next instead, a bullet
from the Colts in his shoulder. He lay
helpless on the soggy snow until the
police came and took him away.
A route agent came to Morgantown
next morning. talked with Hornbeck
and went away. Route agents are a
power. and Bobby was impressed and
fiattered when this particular member
of the guild shook hands and jokingly
called him "Deadwood Dick"
A week later the sequel of the at
tempted holdup was written. A red
waybill package. containing five 800
bills. came for Bobby from Continental
headquarters. A commendatory letter
which accompanied it quoted a certain
ancient circular far back in "Old r.
and r." which provides that the Con-
tinental employee who captures unin-
jured the criminal that attempts rob-
berry shall receive 500: the sum shall
be $500 If the thief is wounded and

LEFT OVER SWEETS.

Use bits of jelly to enrich pud-
dings. Small quantities Of ber-
ries serve the same purpose. A
cupful of ripe currants or any
sort of berries can be mashed
into a eupful Of sugar and added
with a beaten egg to make a pie.
Even a half cupful Of berries or
jam adds a delicious favor to a
quart of ice cream. Save the

fruit for gelatin desserts, sher-
