HIS PAP HAD A PREMONlTIoN
Farmers Son Explained Why Parent
Was Not Surprised When Family
Party Arrived.

A family of eight, IN large automO-
bile, stopped at a likely-looking farm
house in the northern part of the state
recently to get a drink of cold, pure
water, which is believed to Turk about
farmhouses, explains the Indianapolis
News. TO his surprise and evident
qualification, the driver of the machine
found in the farmer an oldtime ac-
quaintance, and plans were made i'm
mediately to pay the farmers family
an impromptu visit. The automobile
was put away in the barn and, after
a hustle and hustle, the hard-worked
farmers wife prepared a meal ade-
quate for the sudden increase in eat
ers.
After the meal the visiting children,
in fact the entire family, made free
with the house and premises. The
head of the visiting family noticed the
farmers oldest boy hanging detected
Iy about the rear of the house just be-
fore time to do the evening chores.
"Well, sonny" said the man, 81

The cave man was not objection

Now the wholesale destruction

Christendom and the exposure of

Representative Business Woman of Birmingham Tells Office and Some of the Incidents Connected With It
By DOLLY DALnYNIPLis

11 T is usually considered rather a pro-
 safe calling, that of stenography S But there's an exception always to every rule, and Birmingham boasts of one successful business woman at least who has seen many things happen in her short career when opening up steno- graphic office that are far from prosaic and quite out of the general run.
 Also this successful young woman, who is Miss Nave Teresa Hoder, has many practical, sensible, worthwhile things to say concerning her work, which will no doubt help many other business women, because usually when a woman succeeds in any profession there are hundreds of others who like to know what have been the most potent factors in her success.
 Chatting with Miss Holder about the establishment of stenographic office, such as she maintains, with all the mod ern equipment and up-to-date facilities for dispatching work properly, she said among other things:
 As a girl I never dreamt of being stenographer. I was anxious to have d profession of some kind, so learned ste nography
 T believe that any girl with a fair ed- ucation, ambition and the courage to forge aheard, with concentration and confidence must touch the goal She must believe in herself, her possibilities. in the worthiness of her plans and her purpose; self-reliance is the best working basis under the sun. If there is floating vaguely around in her mind the idea that she has talent, she should resolve to do away with the vagueness and be on the alert for the chance to place that talent where it is needed and can be used, for when the woman of today recognizes the sacredness of her own ideas-the dig nifty of her own personality-she has stepped up higher and is in a class to compete with the highest types of men and women.
 After years of experience as a stenog- rapher, my ambition was to open up an office of my own," Miss Holder con- tinued. 1T had been in long enough to know the possibilities of a public stenographer. While had climbed to positions of trust through routine service, and had received good salaries, yet there was wanting the advancement and independence which longed for. I
