8lie la a Bank Caaliler and a Sncoevi-
ful Financier.
Mrs. V. F. Church, the efficient cashier
of the Bunk of Joplin, of Joplin, Mo., Is
a banker and “money woman” through
and, through from early training, her
career having begun when she was yet
in early girlhood. She grew up practi-
cally with the institution, almost from
its foundation, nnd the success of the
little Bonk of Joplin may be attributed
In a large measure to her rare ability
nnd unflagging energy.
Tho Bank of Joplin was organized as
a private Institution by T. W. Cun-
ningham nnd George A. Case in 1S82,
but In a fewr years it passed Into the
sole proprietorship of the former, who
has since remained at its head as pres-
ident. It is under the Jurisdiction of

the state officials of Missouri. Nearly
twenty years ago Mrs. Church entered
the bank as its first clerk, and the
books were under her care. Mr. Cun-
ningham, being a supporter of wo-
man’s rights and realizing the value of
his clerk, promoted her to tilts otlice
of cashier, which position she lias since
held. As the bank grew the office
force was gradually enlarged, and in a
short while Miss Tlllie Muller was
made assistant cashier, and now the
business of the institution demands the
employment of three bookeepers, all of
whom are women. As a consequence
it has become known ns very much
a woman’s bank, the only other man
besides Mr. Cunningham on the list of
officers being Philip Arnold, vice pres-
ident.
The cashier, nt the time of her mar-
riage a few years ago to V. F. Church,
a prominent business than of Joplin,
was so interested In her work that not-
withstanding her husband’s entreaties
she preferred to remain in it.

“A bump of destructiveness, like u
soft voice, is an excellent thing in a
woman,” remarked the housekeeper.
“In a place where is little room to put
things the facility for getting rid of
useless possessions is a sine qua noil
of physical comfort and mental repose.
But some women cannot bear to part
with anything if there is the slightest
possibility of its ever being of any use;
and if about once in five years some of
their treasured rubbish does come in
bandy they shout triumphantly, ’I told
you so!’ And sometimes things are

nouruea witnout even tne possibility of
usefulness ns an excuse, merely be-
cause one cannot bear to part with
them. Old toys, old articles of cloth-
ing once worn by children, old furni-
ture, all come under this category.
The bump of destructiveness is much
needed here. It is bad enough to be
incumbered with the infinity of neces-
sary tilings that one has to have with-
out hoarding those that are useless or
only remotely Useful. But of course it
does not do to let the bump of destruc-
tiveness run away with one. The fac-
ulty, like all others, must be eserclsed
with discretion.”
About Powder Putts.
“The best powder puff,” said a drug-
gist, "is made of down plucked from
the breast of a live Norwegian swan
baby, or cygnet. The next best powder
puff is down from a dead cygnet’s
breast.
"Something like 50,000 cygnets are
killed annually iu the Islands of the
Baltic and iu Norwuy and Sweden to
supply the world with powder puffs.
Duly the down from the young swans’
breasts goes into the puffs. A won-
Jerful down it Is, softer than snow,
softer than cloud. A dozen puffs may
be made from one cygnet.
“Here are some puffs mounted in
plain bone. Here are some mounted iu
gold and JeWeled with diamond chips.
The one puff costs 50 ceuts, the other
fo. Rich women buy the cheap puffs,
aoor women the dear ones. Why? Be-
cause rich women throw a puff away
as soon us its first pure white delicacy
Is lost, while poor women use a puff
till it Is woru down to a stub.”—Phila-
delphia Bulletin.
The Unmarried Woman.
The two very vital questions, “Is a
girl an old maid necessarily at thirty7”
and “Is not eighteen too young for
marrying?” have been asked time and
time again since the advent of the
bachelor girl, but never satisfactorily
answered. A generation ago these
questions might have been answered
promptly nnd positively, says a writer
In the Housekeeper. Then a girl was
considered a spinster at thirty, and
eighteen was not far from the aver-
age age for marrying. In those days
spinsterliood was regarded as a condi-
tion to be avoided nt any cost. The
opinion appears to prevail that woman
may remain single just as well as
man. The explanation for this changed
condition is, of course, to be found in
woman’s invasion of the business
world. The bachelor girl, independent,
respected, admired, is a natural conse-
quence of society’s changed attitude
toward women who earn their own
living.
Markins Linen.
How many women adhere to the old
fashioned method of marking linen
with a new steel pen and marking Ink?
It Is the simplest tiling iu the world
to mark linen with a stencil and a
brush. Each member of the family
should have bis own stencil, which
docs not cost much If only Initials are
used. The boy or girl at school will
need the full name, which costs more.
An entire wardrobe may be marked
in half an hour’s time by means of
stencils, and the danger of the Ink
spreading Is reduced to a mlmlnium.
Casseroled Kidneys.
Casseroled kidneys make a very good
luncheon or supper dish. Slice a small
onion and fry it In butter until a gold-
en brown. Add a generous spoonful
of chopped parsley and fry the kid-
neys for several minutes. Add a cup-
ful of stock, a little sherry and a tea-
spoonful of lemon Juice. Season with
salt and tabasco sauce, cover the cas-
serole tightly and cook In a very mod-
erate oven for two hours. Mushrooms
may be added If liked. This greatly
Improves the dish.

Pleasant Hill Doings
Who come there? I don’t have
the least idea. He appears to be a
traveling man at any rate. Oh, oh,
it’s old uncle Sandy. Howdy do,
howdy do, where on earth have you
been with grip in one hand and cane
in the other?
Oh, I’m on my way back home
and I thank St. Paul and Peter too.
I can tell you, my friends, I’m back
to stay and that’s no joke.
Well, where have you been, out
with it, we ca.'e nothing about home
surroundings.
Well sir, it is no pleasure to let
my wearied mind run back there.
I can tell ye, I had anything but a
pleasant trip. No sir, the plains
may suit some folks, but I got all
that was coming to me, which was
no less than a week’s spell of fever,
so when I squared up with my doc-
tor I bid farewell to that forsaken
country. Not a blessed soul did I
see that I knew except Uncle Phil.
Oh, did you see him? what was
he doing? hurding prairie dogs I
guess.
Not a bit of it, why sir, he is in a
business that Pm proud of. Oh,
he’ll make it and don’t you forget
it. Well, how is everything around
the Hill?
Oh, tip top. Will McClain has
been building and repairing.
Indeed yes, and I can tell you his
house shines like new money since
it has been painted.
Mr. Boles has built a new house
which adds to our little town, and
others are talking of building, and
one of them is uncle Joe Stephens.
| You don’t tell me! said Uncle
Sandy.
Yes, that’s the talk.
Weil, when will wonders end?
Not as long as this old land is
peopled as it is.
What is Lee Poe doing now?
Oh, he has started up the old
tune again. He has bought a new
set of hounds and it’s my pinion
that his cotton will not be gathered
this.fall, ’cause that man will hunt,
cotton or no cotton. But just wait,
the next thing you’ll hear another
she wolf will have him up in a tree
and then his dogs will be for sale.
But don’t hint this, ’cause some of
us may get a bargain. I wonder if
Oliver Basham took his hounds off.
Eh? is he gone?
Ah, are you behind that bad? yes
indeed he and his parents, young
Tom and his new wife started for
Knox county tne 29th of Oct.
How is the health of the commu-
nity?
Oh, tolerably good. Grandma
Sims id improving, Mrs. Beavers is
on the mend, Ben Claude and his
new baby is doing as well as could
be expected, Bob Files thinks he
has the only boy in the county and
I dont blame him, he has waited im-
patiently for 12 years to be a papa
and it has become a reality at last.
Mrs. Bills is better at this writing.
Does any one know whether or
not Lee Poe ever got home from
the *M»ow at Cisco the night of the
31st? The last I heard of him he
was seen in the street parade hold-
ing an elephant by its tail.
Pshaw there is not a bit of telling
about that man.
Well that will do for me to go on.
I am anxious to get home, I havn’t
seen Sallie and the kids since I
started to the plaines.
