By CHARLES H. HANDY

From time immemoria it has been the custom to honor those who have ren- dered efficient military service for a given period of time by special marks of distinction of badges of honor. This is as 1t should be for lifetime of de- votion and service is worthy of recog- milton. Yet in peaceful pursuits there are many instances of lifelong faithful service that call for as much herosm, self sacrifice and devotion to duty as ever were required of the soldier that pass unnoticed and unsung.
 Of late years the heads of the great industrial corporations of our country have shown some recognition of faithful service and plans are being perfected in many of the large industries to show in material way their appreciation of their employees. It is also fact that labor and fraternal organizations have adopted methods of showing their appre- citation of their faithful and persistent members by placing them on the honor roll.
 There is no occupation on earth that tests a mans sterling worth and cour- age as that of locomotive engineer. His calling is as hazardous as ever was that of a military hero for he faces death daily while the soldier faces it only at stated periods A soldier as a. rule has only his own life in charge, while on the nerve. courage and skill of the engineer hundreds are dependent daily.
 On Thursday afternoon October 21, at the regular meeting of division No 436, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, d very unsual incident will take place. A badge of honor equal to any conferred by President. Prince or Potentate, will be presented to one of the most honored and respected members of the organi- zation in the length and breadth of the land. The recipient will be J. L. Haver. | one of the grandest characters that ever adorned the engineers calling. and one of the bravest and best that ever pulled | a throttle

 MT Haver remained with the Ala bama Great Southern as a passenger engineer until February ?. 1904. at which time he ran into an open switch in the Birmingham yard. his engine turning over and crushing his foot. About October, 1904. he resigned his position as locomotive engineer with the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company
 The members of the brotherhood on the Alabama Great Southern railroad whom MT. Haver had served as rep resentative in committed work decided in 1906 that they would present MT. Haver with a token of esteem and show their appreciation for his faithful and beneficial services to the organization and in doing so they had made by spe- cial order beautiful B. of l.. E. jewel, containing 12 diamonds. which was presented to him at formal meeting of division No. 436 by the members. Mir. Haver wears this jewel with a good deal of pride as 1t was presented to him under a very rare condition.
 MT. Haver is hale and hearty and states he expects to be with the boys for many years to come and the boys all hope he will be.

A ely-dressed woman sat beside me in the train. Everyone stared at her. It was not her beauty of feature that held our eyes. nor her costume. But there was something about her face and ex- pression.-I risked it and asked: Would you mind telling me how you keep your complexion so dazzlingly pure? Don't think me impertinent. but you seem over 30, yet haven't line in your face, and your cheeks are quite peach-like. How do you do it?" M

I apply this nightly, like cold cream. washing 1t off mornings. This gently absorbs the soiled, weather beaten ftlm-skin. with out pain or discomfort thus revealing the fresh. clear underskin.
