New Bills
Eleven nurses at the Baptist sani
tarium discovered Monday that they
carried Insurance with a company that
111 pay promptly and moat gracious
ly. Tha company la that great corpo
ration kpown aa public esteem and the
premiums paid on pollclea that most
often are unconsciously carried with It
era little kindly deeda auch as ars a
part of tha everyday work of tha
young woman who give or tn oeai
there la In them In the car of the
sick at tha sanitarium.
Tha nurses were burned out of
houa and home Sunday. They escaped
from the flames In time to save their
Uvea. That wa all.
All Wa Lost.
Thair dresses. In fact all tha cloth
ing they owned except that on their
back at the time they fled from tha
flra. was destroyed. And when they
went to counting their losae Monday
they found that It would Uka some-
thing more than I12C0 to replenish
their wardrobes not counting any of
the even meagerly luxurious finery
that every woman Is entitled to.
And to replenish meant digging
down Into scant savings In somo
case there were no savings snd the
outlook was dark. And It would have
been even darker had not friends.
sensing their peed passed the Word
along to where It might do some good.
Tha Mysterious Messenger.
First cams a mysterious messenger
to Robert Jolly with an envelope In
which waa flGO In crisp new bank
notes. ' With the money wa a letter
of appreciation of the work tha nurse
were doing signed snd sealed by Sam
Houston Klan No. 1. Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan Reslm Of Texas In-
visible Empire
And that was not all. Several other
donations came In from persons who
did not want their namea used so
there is a good stsrt made toward that
$1300 needed. And when the plight of
theae young women becomes generally
known a full payment of the fire
losses sustained Is quite possible.
