GOOD FELLOWS.

The first touch of winter nipped
Columbia the other day. 1t brought
out the overcoats and piled up the
orders for the coal man. 1t made

step to the person who needed an
air tonic. But it started something
else-the beginning of suffering

little argument in "the poor we
have with us always" perhaps
there is an excuse for the condi-
ton and they should not be neg

whole country are interested in
the Christmas Ship that will make
the hearts of the children of Eu-

thing, but why not make the hearts
of your neighbor and his children |
burst with joy" It's not a hard |

Good Fellow movement be started
in Columbia. 1t could do wonders.
I'VE often seek far and wide, for
that which lies close at hand" runs
an old saying and never was one
more true than this condition just
now in Columbia. The fall in tenn
perature magnifies the condition
of want. The tattered threadbare
clothing which have been sufficient
for the summer fail to turn the
wind of the early fall and winter.
The meager nourishment of idle
summer of want, enough to keep /
the body from acute suffering In
mild weather, suddenly proves it.
self insufficient. There are negro
in Columbia, and perhaps
few whites, with no winter shoes c
and stockings and not enough l
clothing.
A Good Fellow movement can do
wonders with these cases. 1t sim +

Another requisite for getting sum

your Firm TO give you prices that you
can at least put before your foreign
Prospect without getting the broad
vaudeville grin.
Many Firms send their men ten thou

men drop anchor and get ready for busl-
ness they find they can't do "A piastre's

to sell the Wholesale Trade at prices that
the Consumer gets in America.
Such Firms get the idea that foreign
nations are still living in trees and eat

are going to prove such eye-bugers to
the natives that they will throw a siam
pede TO get them at any old price.
In the foregoing pages we have given
you a conservative little bunch of tips
on how to travel the Foreign Trade
without overlooking business. But there

managing the Foreign Business, and the
Firm wouldn't care a tinker's pin II he

because he gets the business.
Now We come to the rock ribbed
rebus. Why could Frenchie, with his
previous poor performance on the local
Track, go the distance safe and steady
on strange Course when the Star Per-
formers broke badly in the first lap?
Answer: Because Frenchie was USED
TO THINGS. He had lived Abroad
first.
No man knows his own capacity for
cutting loose until he has bucked the
Foreign Field. Therefore the first req
uisite for travelling the Foreign Trade
without forgetting business IS to forget
business long enough to try yourself
out and get used TO n few things that
you don't have back home.
The wise Firm is the Firm that hangs
onto the men who have done the dis
lance in good shape because these men
have become acclimatized. 1t Is no trick
for them to be on their way down a
Paris Boulevard to keep an II o'clock
appointment with Customer and meet
the seductive gaze Of a passing plppin--

apt to keep the IL o'clock appointment

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. III
Plans are nearing completion for
the purchase of home for Jennie
Smith, the woman who has given
the best years Of her life in evan
gelical services for the men Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The
employees have been working for
some time to secure a fund large
enough to meet the demands Of a
permanent home and an annuity fund
for the woman who Is SO beloved by
all Of them. The success OF the
Jennie Smith picnic, the thirty-third
annual affair of its kind, which was
held at Harper's Ferry May 81 last.
and the large amount that was sub
scribed at that time among the rail-
road men present, assured the pur-
chase Of "a home Immediately. It is
the intention OF those who have been
instrumental In raising the fund to
purchase a home in Washington,
which will be presented to Miss
Smith soon, and there will be enough
additional funds after the purchase
OF the residence to provide for Miss
Smith in the days when she is no
longer able to continue her work. 1t
Is understood that officials Of the
company were anxious and willing
to subscribe a large fund for the pur-
pose, but the men Of the road pre-
ferred contributions of small amounts,
50 that they might feel that even.
the humblest of the employees has a
share in the gift.

girls have found taking all the hap

This is what Marion writes: "Since

places of amusement with young men
They said they enjoyed my company
as ] was always sociable and made ii
pleasant for every one with whom
came in contact. A young man would
call frequently for three or four
months and then he would remain
away. They all seemed to be fas-
cinated for n time, but I could not
keep their lasting friendship. There
has been steady series of admirers,
and ! have been told that | am most
attractive. But before l knew it each
one would go off and be engaged 10

different from the sort l have always

over year, and love him as l never
thought l could care. ] Feel that I
will be Inundated when / bring him
among my friends and that they will
scott at me. lie has asked me to be
his wife. and ] do not know which
way to turn"
The girl who has charm and mag
neusm, but who does not wear WE'LL
does not bear knowing-has a very
sorry time when her youth goes and
the cherished belleship of her young
er days vanishes with it. She is like

on only two things-the desire to be
loved (without particularly loving her

to the people who are watching old
maidhood steal upon her that she can
hold a mans affections after all.
Neither of these is a legitimate rea-
son for marrying or can lead to any
lasting happiness.
