C. ------------------------_ A Job for Jerry By DOROTHY DOUGLAS Copyright. 1919,. by the McClure New. paper Syndicate.) Gerald Donalds6n had returned from fourteen months of overseas service on a United States destroyer to find that lhe had no job. Also he had returned to America to find himself more in love than ever with Margery Coles. "If your firm had proved to be as loyal as I have, Jerry," Margery said to him one night when they were dis cussing the hopeless outlook for their Immediate happiness, "we could be married at once, couldn't we?' Jerry laughed a trifle bitterly. "Yes --but unfortunately my firm thinks of dollars and cents before patriotism." "Never mind, we'll find a job--we're (bound to, dear," Margery comforted. '"And I'll wait and keep on working Just as long as it is necessary." When Gerald had enlisted in the navy and had been sent overseas Mar Igery had decided to find herself a po sition where she might not only be. mentally occupied during his absence abut where she coul4 be economically independent in case her fiance should ant return. For Margery could not coaceive of ever loving any one else b t Jerry. Geyald had risen from the status of a :Common sailor to be a chief petty otmeer, and while he had had a vast experience in nautical lines, had learned to coal a vessel, had had the wheel on many ocasions, had visited ii jy ports in Europe and had had narrow escapes from submarines, he 'had returned unchanged in his easy lgoing disposition and lack of business TtdUnmn. "Gerald lacks pep," Margery's brother always said to her. "You kwnow, kid, I'm fond of him and want aim for a brother-in-law, but he will e;pver set the world on fire with his brilliance. Now, will he?" Margery was willing to admit that his wonderful disposition, his gentle nesa, his almost feminine tact were hardly the best recommendations a THE OLD RELIABLE Elk Restaurant Opposite the LaCombe Hotel We Serve a Full Meal for Dinner for FIFTY CENTS A FULL LINE OF SHORT ORDERS ALWAYS ON HAND OYSTER LOAVES A SPECIALTY Take Home a "Peacemaker" French Dripped Coffee at All Hours PHONE NO. 102 SC, V. LASTRAPES, Proprietor Q-I· She Thought Over the Matter. man coulfhave for n active busiess life, and yet she knew that somewhere there must be a place where just such men were needed. Therefore, Margery being in business herself and in touch more or less with various phases of business affairs, decided to find such an opening for Jerry. Margery knew that Jerry was spend ing his days trying to flnd a position, and she realized how difficult it was for him, with his apparently limited ability, to locate a place that would pay a living wage and give promise for the future. Also, she knew that he was growing sensitive about the sit unation. Her own employer was a man of splendid business dexterity, had made a success early in life by his own achievement, but his quick temper, his impatience, his lack of tolerance with any sort of inefficiency made him at times difficult to understand. During the war the telephone serv ice fell below par. On more than one occasion Margery had to use all of her tact to keep her employer from losing his temper with the slowness of the operators in getting numbers, both in and out of the city for him. He was inclined on the spur of the moment to blame a corporation unrestrainedly without considering the exigencies of the occasion. One day he was unable to obtain any sort of connection to one of his branch offices out of town and he be came so thoroughly out of temper, so greatly annoyed at the apparent lack of attention to business on the part of "John"-the exchange in which his own office was located-that- he went forthwith to the manager of "John." By the time he reached the head quarters of the telephone company he was still out of sorts, but not out of temper. He had a talk with "Official John," who proved to be a man of wide understanding of human nature and of extreme tact in handling dis gruntled patrons. Margery was watching for her em ployer to return, for he had been very cross when he left. She knew him well enough to know that he would have time to consider conditions and would come back in a fairer frame of mind. Secretly, however, Margery was glad she had to spend only eight hour[ In his employment, and did not hayv to live In the house with him. She wopdered if his wife minded his temn per. She was glad Gerald did not have such an irritable disposition. "Well, Miss Coles, I'ryve had an ex perience I" Margery's employer said as he stepped into the office. "Yes, Mr. Hopkinson," Margery said, looking up from her work. "I went to that telephone company feeling that we had been shamefully treated; that we were being made to pay for service that was unspeakably bad, and-I came away with a feeling that we were impatient, inconsiderate, unpatriotic. That manager of the 'John' branch is a human wonder. You go in ,there with a peeve-you come out feel ing that you should apologize. I call that man an asset in any company. I guess there is a place for every one in this world-even a good disposition and tact and even temper may be made a stock in trade if you can only find the right place to put the stock." Little did Margery's employer know how much those few worts meant to her. At once Gerald's qualities pre sented themselves to her mind. That was the very sort of position for him. She would start about at once to find him such an opening. Mr. Hopkinson not only gave her the advice she sought but he went so far as to intercede for her with the telephone company, with the result that Gerald was offered a position in which he could see a splendid future. He 'was started in a small and quiet exchange and in that office he dis played such an understanding of hu man nature, exercised so much tact with the operators under him, with the patrons who had grievances, with the firms who wanted favors, that he was soon promoted to a more active office. "You see how` your good nature serves you, now, Jerry, dear," Margery said to him one day when they were planning their future-hopefully this time. "I see how your blessed understand ing of my limitations has brought my few good qualities to the top, yes," he said, tenderly. "You mustn't give me credit, Jerry. It was quite by accident that I found the place where such dear, patient people as you can be of really com-. mercial value to a big corporation." { "And I know of a place that you must promise to fill very soon where just such swetness as yours can be of never-ending value, dear," Jerry said. "Do you know where that is?" Margery nodded and displayed fur 'ther qualities that made Jerry more sure than ever that he needed her soon In his home.

Sister President, officers, co-labor ers and friends of the Seventh District Baptist Woman's Association. Greeting:-By the hand of our heavenly Father who holds this world in His Almighty hand has spared me to make my anndal report, beng your vice-president and a humble servant of Him who has spared us all to as semble in another annual session. It is to your beloved friends and co workers that I greet in the name of `Jesus. From the depths of our hearts let us thank God for our being here and ever for our existence, when we look to the head of this Association we see that the great monster death has visit ed our flock and robed us of our brightest jewel in the person of Rev. Henry Steward. Thus we have not had all sunshine since we met last. For the influenza have visited many homes and left sad hearts. Our hands have been often heavy-laden, our hearts full of cares, restless nights have followed anxous days, but I can realize it is a chritians' life to toil and fight. Jesus Christ is our Cap tain. Therefore in making my report at ths houri, I am boastng not in our advancements nor the victories won, but I am glorying in the cross of Je sus Chrst. Sisters we all come glorying in the cross because devotion without the cross is nothing; from It has brought to us all light and hope. That cross has changed my sighs and moans in to deeds of usefulness; and I hope it may continue to bring men of every tribp .and tongue into fellowship and brotherhood. As your vice president I have succeeded in organizing two home Mission Societies, one at Mel ville, La., and one in Opelousas, La., at Mt. Calvary. And I have given my time and little talent in getting a school house here (in Opelousas) for our children who was not able to in dicate it for themselves but I had a few faithful workers and we now have a school that can not be rebuilt for $10,000 dollars. I was invited to Ville Platte, La., on the 19th of June to help the colored people there in an educational meetng and it was a suc cess. I told, them how we got our school, by co-operating with the best white people. Now they are ready to build. I have been urging our sisters to rally and do something for our Dis trict high school, now located in i Crowley, La. Each member of this Association should feel it his and her duty to help pay for this school not I because it is a high school, but be cause it is our school. I gave a pound e party on the 16th of August, 1919, and , 24 pounds was given, and $2.00 in cash Sister Salie Ballard reported the larg- I est amount of money. The pounds and money was donated to Charley i Boudreaux, that is sick and unable to work. The town will release him t from rent, as he is an old town hand. t And the best white people of Opelou- r sas La., are always ready to help the F deserving colored people in any good i deed. Let us say glory and praise a to Jesus given for His redeeming love. Without Him we can d onothing. But b through Him we can do all things. s Yours in Chrst, MRS. J. H. DESHOTELS, o Vice President. Opelousas, La., Aug. 31, 1919. The president of the Woman's Work Auxilary to the Baptist Association delivered an instructive message to the delegates attendng the conventon here Friday.
