 Manager.

Some people are born lucky. others achieve luck and still others have luck thrust upon them---to paraphrase an ancient saving. Fred RacklifGe, of the firm of Racklffe Brothers, may be safely adjudged guilty of all three counts after the experience which will be related.
 MT RaCkliffe a few evenings ago attended FOx's theater. Tn his pocket was a bill fold containing a sum of money, his automobile drivers li- CenSe and two unset diamonds of con- siderable size and worth q tidy sum- When he came out Of FOX's he did not have the bill fold. Manager McDOn- aid of FOX's instituted d search and found the bill fold finally. Some one else had found it first, the money was gone, but the individual who found if was not thorough. He did not feel the diamonds when he emptied the fold for valuab1es Wrapped in a piece of tissue paper and tucked in a corner the gems were still present. They were returned to the owner to- day.

NiSjtin" Nurse ASSOcIatIotiil.

The Visiting Nurse association was organized in 1906; the present officers arc Mrs. Andrew J. Sioper' president, Mrs. Charles B. Iarsons, vice president, Mrs. Laurenc Mouat, secretary. and Mrs. Charles F. chase, trcas1rcr, Miss Ella Dorman is the head visiting nurse and has charge ot the milk stntion. Six nurses visit the needy homes of tho city and three more are needed to satisfactor cover the districts. 200 calls average the number made by the nurses each month. when poor families are visited, and cared for. 800 Sut-nOrmal chil- drCn arc now under the attention of the Visiting Nurse assoc iatiOn. Ad- vice and wholesome instruction in better living conditions is being given, and it is believed tha. the power of the organization will lie in prevent i've measures. Classes in dieteticS are being conducted, and a Wednesday, morning clinic at which the foreign mothers bring their babies is proving popular. During the past epidemic, the visiting nurses were indispensa ble.
 Milk Station.
 The milk station, in connection with the visiting nurses, supplies a num- be- of children with the best milk procurable; 35 quarts of milk a day are sold; the free dispensary during z the epidemic being no longer possible, as the fund contributed for that pur- pose IS exhausted.
 As these organizations of self-sa cri- fcing endcavor arc quietly working for the furthcring of community health and welfare, it is hoped that the public will now set a new val nation upon their need, and respond with an awakened community sym pathy.

BEES IN BUSINESS OFFICE
Experiment Made by Ind ana Man saId
to Have Been Success From
Every Standpoint.

Everybody likes honey, or II they
don, they should, SO an Indiana
man recently conceived the idea o.
keeping swarm of bees in a hive
in his downtown Office.
The hive is placed close to a radi-
a;or and a window, so that in the
summer the bees will have no trou-
bic in flying out in search Of honey,
and in the winter they are kept
warm by the heat Of the radiator.
In the spring when the flowers be-
gin to bloom the bees are tempted
from their hive by a row Of choeo-
late creams, and from the window
sill where the candy is set it is but
"step" to the fields whore the flow

Heroic Rescue
Spectacular Scene is Enacted
When ]. C. Scott Snatch
es Baby From in
Front of Engine

All OF the dash, action and
brcath-taking suspense of the
moving picture was strikingly
portrayed in actual life recently
in the heroic rescue by Engineer
j. G. Scott, of II two-year-old
child from in front of Il locomo-
tive near josephine, Virginia.
The train, Extra |, eastbound,
which was i'll charge Of Engineer
Scott and Conductor j. w. Me
Farland. was drawing into Jose
phine at the rate OF about 10
miles an hour when the atten-
ton of the engineer was attract
ed by two women running up
the bank toward the track in
iron; of the train. AT first the
engineer thought that the wo-
men were trying to get across
the track ahead of the train.
However, at that moment he
happened TO glance in front of
the engine and saw the child, Il
little girl in the center OF the
track, about 100 feet ahead.
He Immediately put on the
emergency brake, reversed his
engine, darted through the cab
window, out on the running
board, and was OH the pilot of
the engine in time to snatch the
child out of the way and save it
from being run over by the en-
CINE. The train stopped in
about. an engine length after
passing the point where The
child was standing.
BY the time this happened
the women, one of whom was
the mother of the little girl,
were by the side of the track
and took charge of the child.
The mother was almost frantic
az it had seemed that the child
must inevitably be crushed be-
meath the locomotive. The
child's name was Celley Spears.
Efforts are now under way to
secure a Carnegie medal for En-
gineer Scott. The engineer is n
young man, being only 81 years
old, and has been in the employ
OF the Interstate Railroad Com
pany for more than ten years.
