CHARITY AS A VOCATION.

The complaint is frequently heard that 'sorganzed
charity unless under public spirited management fails
fully to do the good which expected of it. 1t is of
the great problems of social work to solicit help for the
poor and then to pass this help with minimum of
waste This is OF the most serious questions which
the national conference charities and correction will
be asked to consider at the meeting in Indianapolis
The great difficulty in making proper distribution
should spur the conference to special effort Charity
foundations have been criticised for their number for their
interference with each other and for the increased
|pense of operation.
The New York Schoolof Philanthropy and the Inter
collegiate Bureau OF Occupations undertook nvesga

worker may hope at present to reach in New York only

men and women making their living in New York out of
the distribution of private philanthropy and that the sal
aries OF these aggregate $4,000000a year. The top

How to Draw q Check.


The first thing a depositor In a
bank should learn is how to draw q
check, for IL check is improperly
drawn 1t may lead to confusion and
might bring loss to the bank and an
noyance to the depositor. In the first
place the figures should be plainly
made, so that no question can arise as
to the amount, If a figure 1s care
lessly made, SO that it confuses those
who handle the check, numberless
hours Of work may follow. For in
stance, IL bank receives a check for
$1.8s with poor 49," and clerk lists
it as sl.0S, it may take many hours
time to find the difference, and the
entire days work may have to be gone
over. The rule should be: Never make
a figure that may be mistaken and
never pass one that Is in doubt--cor-
rect it by crossing out the bad and
making good one alongside.
Second, the words and figures should
agree. The law says that IL the two
are different. the written words govern,
but make both carefully and get them
alike.
Third, Begin the writing well to the
left of the writing space and fill in the
unused space with a wavy line. Begin
the figures well up against the sign
and make the character 10000 after,
but close up againsts the figures. Use
a good black ink and write firmly, so
that plenty of ink gets into the fibre of
the paper.
Fourth. Always write your name ex-

youth full of youthful glee,
Climbing with all OF his might,
A summit clear out Of sight,
To the folks who live on the plain,
And who think the youths efforts vain
With step so agile and sure,
The youth responds to the lure,
OF the peaks in virgin white,
And he halls them with delight,
AS upward he urges his way,
Where linger the last rays Of day.
At the close of day he sleeps,
While the mountain sentry keeps;
And nothing his sleep disturbs,
And nothing his soul perturbs
For the youth is so chaste and clean,
Like the hills with their snowy sheen.
He Wakens at break Of day,
Then upward without delay,
Amidst SLOPES OF dazzling snow.
And peaks with golden glow;
There the youth Gods glory beheld,
And his soul with rapture was filled.

PIERCE'S LACK OF
AGGRESSIVE WORK
WINS FOR WHITE
Azevedo Has Better of Harry
Condor in Bout at
Clermont Club

Charley White, the Chicago light
weight, gained an easy decision over
Harry Pierce, of Brooklyn, yesterday
afternoon in the main ten-round bout
at the Clermont A. c., Brooklyn, but
ne should be thankful to-day that he
was not opposed by more aggressive
fighter than Pierce proved TO be.
Pierce entered the ring with one
thing plainly uppernost in his mind,
and that was to protect his jaw from
Whites deadly left hook at all costs.
He did this religiously through the
first half Of the battle.
White looked like a champion for
five rounds, placing his punches clearly
and rarely taking a punch IN return,
but IN the last five rounds Pierce took
more chances and scored to the stom-
ach in the iniighting. White showed
no liking for this treatment and held
until the referee broke them. White
weighed 1874 and Pierce 1872 pounds.
Joe Azevedo, OF California, had the
better Of Harry Condor, OF Brooklyn,
in the other around bout. The two
BOYS stood toe to toe throughout and
hammered away, but Azevedo, with
nine and one-half pounds the advantage
in weight. was little too strong for
his opponent. Condor was badly
marked when ne left the ring.
