Kills Half Population of Zephyr --Fire Finishes Torna- doe’s Work

Many Miners Are Seeking Work

Another month has passed since the men were ordered to quit work and the likelihood of nearly another month | elapsing before the miners are back to | work, does not seem improbable.

The board which were appointed by the government, have not yet been able to bring about a satisfactory settlement. now . visiting the affected and investigating matters there. They have held court at Lille, Bellevté"fand Hillcrest and are now holding court at Coleman.

Every week brings new develop- ments amongst the foreigners as well as’ amongst many of the English people. Last week several miners in- terviewed our local general mine manager with a view of returning to work before an agreement was reached by the conciliation board. Mr. Whiteside, of vourse, refused to grant their request.

On Sunday afternoon last the Sclavonians held a big meeting here, and the main topics under discussion were district 18 of U. M. W. of A. and the present coal mining crisis. We are told that over one hundred men expressed their willingness of return- ing to work at the mines immediately if the operators would allow them to do so, This the operators have not allowed them to do.

Since our last issue we have re- ceived a communication from a party at Bellevue and the reason for non- appearance of that letter in this issue is because the writer neglected to attach his own signature to same. The writer complains bitterly of their union officials’ actions in bringing about a strike Which was in his (the

Brownwood, Texas, May 30.—With half of its pupulation dead. and “wounded, nearly every building in the town demolished and with fire raging in the ruins, the survivors at Zephyr 15 miles east of this city, are in a state of distress today as a result of a tornado that hit town early this morning.

Until communication has been restored it will be impossible to deter- mine the exactness of the disaster. The casualties are estimated at not less than 100, 25 of whom were instantly killed,

According to a railroad man who reached Brownwood this morning on a hand car, the tornado was preceded by a hail storm of unusual severity. The roar of the storm caused the sleeping citizens to awuke with a start. They scrambled out of bed, only to be caught between the totter- ing walls of their houses. In a short time there were scenes of wildest ex- citement. Weeping women and children, clothed in scanty attire, rushed about in the ruins, seeking loved ones, or looking for places of shelter from the storm. After the first shock of the disaster had passed the men and women who had escaped death or serious injury turned. their attention towards rescuing the dead and dying. From the ruins, which had become ignited and were burning fiercely, This work, hampered by darkness and the limited number of able bodied men, was necessarily slow, and it is feared that some who escaped the wind’s fury met a worse fate in fires that followed.

How Detective Adair Was Given Some Interesting Information. “ E can learn from all men, even from the humblest,’) said H. K. Adair, a detective. “Turn a deaf ear to no man. The lowliest tramp may have information of in- credible interest for you. “I well remember a walk I once took

down Market street. As I strode along, proud and happy, a rose in my button-

hole and a gold headed cane in my |

wand, a drunkeh man had the impu- fence to stop me. “*Ain’t you Mr, Adair?’ he said.

“*VYes,’ anid 1. “What of it?’ “'Mr. Adair, the detective? he hic. coughed.

“*Yes, yes. Who are you? IT asked tmpatiently.

“Mr. Adair,’ said the untidy wretch as he laid his hand on my shoulder to keep himself from falling, ‘I'll tell you! who I am,’Mr. Adair. I'm—hic—the husband of your washerwoman.’

“*Well, what of that? said I scorn- fully.

“My scorn brought a sneer to the man’s lips, and he said:

“*You see, you don't know every- thing, Mr. Adair.’

“What don’t I know? I demanded.

Filling the Bill.

During a recent meeting of hotel | pen in this city, when there were dis: | cussed certain proposed means of pro tecting hotels against “beats,” a west- | ern boniface told of the sad case of | one proprietor in St. Louis who had), been *‘déne.”

Many months afterward, learning the whereabouts of the gentleman who had decamped without the formality of paying, the owner sent him the fol- | lowing note: |

“Dear Sir—I_ Would esteem it a’ fator if. you would at once send me gmount of your Dill.”

Imagine the disgust of the hotel man when in a few days he received.an an swer in these terms:

“Dear Sir—Certainly. The amount of my bill is $17.50."—Harper’s Weekly.

“George, 1 am determined to get even with that Van Payster woman. She has more diamonds than 1 have, but she’s a good deal older.”

To get an idea of what that means, imagine at anchor one of the Dreadnoughts near the Tower, or be- low London Bridge, letting fly shells each weighing rather less than half a ton, at an enemy as far off as Earl’s Court. or Shepherd’s Bush, or in the Thames above Putney Bridge.

As to the capabilities of British seamen gunners in the matter of aiming, two years ago the men of the battleship Com- monwealth, one of the Channel Fleet ships recenttw under Lord Charles Beresford, at target practice at 8,000 yards, (nearly five miles), dropped shell after shell exactly on to the tar- get, and the shots all fal] within a space of the size of a law-tennis court.

The selection of Lt.-Col. Alexander Bertram to command the Canadiar Bisley team has given general satis- faction to military men throughout the Dominion. Lt.-Col. Bertram is one of the most capable and succéss- ful militia officers in the service. He is very popular in his native town, Dundas, Ont., and the citizens and inembers. of the’ Seventy-Seventh Regiment, of which he is an officer, are extremely pleased that the Militia Department has honored tim by giv- i him such an important charge.

LIEUT. -COL. BERTRAM.

March, 1869, joined the Thirteenth Battalion as bugler and was attached to No. 7 Company, which afterward became No. 1 Company of the Sev- enty-Seventh Battalion. In 1872 he became ensign of Company A, Dun- das, and in 1874 was promoted to the lieutenancy of A Company. In June, 1875, he received the rank of cuptuirn and was appointed to take charge of No. 4 Company at Rockton. The fol- lowing year he was transferred to Ancaster, which company was organ- ized and drilled by Cupt. Bertram, where he remained for two years, when he was made junior major. Soom after he was advanced to the senior majority; which office he held until Dec. 23, 1899, when he was promoted to be colonel of the Seventy-Seventh.

Col. Bertram has filled the various. positions he has held creditably,- an? it is felt that as commander of the - Bisley team he will give entire satis- faction. The team sails for England’ during the latter part of June.

Campbell of the Temple.

A inan who says what he means, and means what he says. The de- scription is partloniarly applicuble to Rev. R. J. Campbell, the famous Lon- don preacher, whose views. on shop- life morality have raised so much discussion of late. His opinions and utterances are startling at times. It is only a few weeks ago, for instance, when talking of husbands. and wives, that he said there ought to be a law which would compel reprobate hiis- bands, who spend all their salaries on pleasure, to hand over every week an amount sufficient for the needs of their wives and families; doubtless many people will agree with him on this point.

If there is one thing which Rev. R. J. Campbell dislikes more tham another, however, it is eant, and there was subtle sarcasm—although it may have been lost on the. people who received the gift—in the presen- tation of a frying-pan to a counle who wrote saying thet they had been so rbsorbed in reading a sermon by the: frmous preacher that they forgot all! abovt some food that was cooking on the fire. Not only was the food snoilt, but the pan was burned through. The pastor of the City Tem- ple promptly sent a new frying-pen, with the inscription: ‘Compensation for damages, from R. J, Campbell.’”

Order Disease is Inevitable,

Many women go through life suffer. ing in silence—weak, ailing and un. | happy. The langyor and ploodless- ness of girls and young women, With headaches, dizziness and fainting spells; the nervous ailments, back pains and failure of strength of wives and mothers; the trials that come to all women at the turn of life, are caused usually by impoverished, wat- ery blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People have helped more women to the joy of good health and robust strength than any other medi- cine in the world. These Pills actu. ally make new, rich, red .blobd, which reaches every part of the body, feeds the stagveil nerves, strengthens very organ, and makes weak girls and women bright.and well. Mrs. A. Eagles, Dundas, Ont., says:—‘‘I am writing this letter out of gratitude to let you know the great benefit Dr ‘Williams’ Pink Pills have been to me From the time I was a girl I suffered from weakness and fainting svells— was always doctoring, but it did not help me. As I grew older I seemed to grow worse. My blood seemed literally turned to water. Sometimes I would faint as often as twice in a day. I suffered from indigestion. I could ‘not walk upstairs without stopping to test on the way, and my heart would palpitate so violently as to produce a smothering sensation. I grew so weak that people thought I was in con- sumption. I was in this dreadful condition when Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were brought to my attention and I began taking them. The first sign of benefit I noticed was an im- provement iri my appetite. Then I be- gan to grow stronger; the color began to return to my face; the fainting spells disappeared and .gradually I was brought to a condition of more perfect health than I had ever en- joyed before. This is what Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills have done for me, and that they have been. of lasting benefit is proved by the fact that it is several yegrs since they .restored my health, and I have remained strong and well ever since.”

JEM MACE “BROKE.”

Veteran English Prizefighter Is Now ‘Old and Poor,

“Jem’’ Mace, the old-time champion prize-fighter, who has applied for an old-age pension, was born at Beeston, wa aco on Good Friday, April

A representative of the press in- quiting for the veteran was referred to a tavern in Islington—that deeay- ing remnant of disappearing Old Lon- don where the old traditions still flicker. There, in the sawdusted par- lor of the Bluecoat Boy, the old war- rior may often be heard. modestly .re- counting his exploits to atrespectfully | listening group. c

Mace was not at the “Blucutt,” however, as it is familiarly known, but plentiful information concerning his merits was. to be obteined. A tall old gentleman ‘of forcible manner in 4 silk hat introduced himself as “‘Fem’s business manager.” There was another friend, who had been middle-weight champion of England, himself in days gone by, and another admirer who was able to clrim the distinction of having hospitably en- tertained the veteran in recent emer- gercies.

The “Blucutt” was unanimorvely of oninion that, despite the number of his birthdays, it was not old rege thet the old fighting man wrs suffering froin. It was the. world thet hed grown old, and lost its youthfwl in- | terest in fighting, and not “Jem” Mace. ,

Later on Mr. Mace himself was en- countered. He had been taking his evening meal in the family circle of sdme professional friends in Clerken- well, and was cleaning up his plate with, what was left of the loaf ‘of bread. A lithe, erect, handsome old man still, with fine eyes and wavy grey hair above a good forehead, and strong, well-formed features.

*“Sinee I. lost my wife,” he said, “nothing has gone right. T always wanted a master.” he added, ‘‘and since she died I have had nobody to tell me.”

On the back of ench hand below the wrist there is a big, bony swelling. Asked what cansed that he said, “Punching did that—punching men.”

“Punching which men?”

“Punching more than five hundred men. My memory is going, and I can’t remember all their names. More than five hundred I have battled with and beat them all.”

“And were you never beaten then?”

“Two of them beat me. Bob Brettle beat me and Tom King—heat me, but they were accidents, andin other bat- tles I beat both of them. TIT was a bit careless the day I fought Bob Bretile —took him to cheap, and he caught me with his right and smashed my jaw, knocked me clean out. But the ie time I beat him, and beat hifn

air.

“They never gave me no thick ears, none of them. I suffered more in my hands from punching them than from them punching me. I knew more than they did, had a better headpiece; but since my poor wife died I’ve had no-

ady to jell ma. wm _“A quarter 4 peettiee y have thor a , Meee ested all gone. Ten championship cups and four championship belts I have won, all silver with diamonds and precious stones, and they have all gone. I have got a bust of old Tom Sayers left, and I would let it go for a couple of sovereigns, for I have got nothing.” 7,

“You are my old friend, Bill, for fifty years,” he said to his septua- genarian manager. “You've got a good business headpiece. You stick by me and I'll do whatever you tell me to, and I ean box three rounds with -anybody as well as ever I could.”

“I will, Jem,’’ seid the business manager, “‘I’ll stick by you. I’m walking wonderful well this last day or two”

And the principal of seventy-seven with his manager of seventy odd went off hopefully together to look for a likely. opponent and sporting backer.

BAD LEG FOR 60 YEARS. Zam-Bak Works a Complete Care.

Mrs. J. Minett, of 192. Thurbers Avenue, Providence, Rhode Island, has been cured by Zam-Buk of a bad leg, which had defied all remedies for sixty long years. She says:—‘‘When a thild of eight, I was bitten on the leg by a dog. A doctor cauterised the. place, but it never healed up soundly, | and I have suffered with an ulcerated This oc- | curred in England, and many English | doctors tried in vain to heal the sore. | At one time I was an in-patient at the East Suffolk Hospital for a long period, and for three years I was in and out of hospitals. I was continu- ally in pain, and the sore would not heal, but continued to discharge. Twelve months ago I came out here to my daughter, and during the voy- age I had to keep my bed. The ship’s doctor examined my leg, and gave me a plaster, which I had to take off again as it made the pain so intense. When 1 reached my daughter’s house, she sent for a medical man, who said | hothing could ever do it any good, and although I tried other American They

said my leg would néver be well. “One day my youngest daughter

| brought home a box of Zam-Buk, and

induced me to try it. With the first application I seemed to find ease, and further im gece with Zam-Buk did me so much good that I sent for a roper supply. I kept on with the! tam-Buk treatment, and soon saw that the wound was getting better. | The discharge was reduced, and the pain was eased. I persevered with the Zam-Buk, and, to cut a long story short, it effected a cure. It is marvel. lous to think that, after suffering for | sixty years, Zam-Buk has been able to make my leg perfectly sound.” | Zam-Buk is a combination of power and: purity. Purely herbal, it is su- perior to all known’ remedies for chronic sores and wounds, eczema, salt-rheum, ringworm, eruptions, vari- cose ulcers, cuts, burns, bruises, skin diseases. It also cures piles. All Druggists and Stores sell at 50c. a box, or post-frée from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, for price. Three boxes for $1.25.

The Uses of Bile

in Indigestion |

Bile is quite as important as are tHe, gastric juices in the process of di- gestion.

Chronic indigestion disappears when an active liver supplies bile in suffi- cient quantities.

|

| You think of hile as something disa. greeable and poisonous, something to be well rid of. In the blood the bile is poisonous and harmful, but the liver takes the bile out of the blood and pours it into the intestines, where it fulfills a most important mission.

Without bile human life is short; for,

Bile hastens the passage of the food along the alimentary canal.

Bile neutralizes the acid which passes from the stomach to the in- testines.

Bile prevents the fermentation of food in the intestines, which in turn causes gas, wind, flatulency.

Bile, j and maintains a regalar and healthful process of digestion and of elimination of waste matter by way of the bowels.

But to have a regular flow of bile the liver must be kept healthy and active and just here where Br. A. W. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills come in, definite, s .~ and action on the liver.

A RECORD PIKE.

Largest Ever Caught In England Landed a Few Days Ago. ~

A giant pike, which is for English and Scotch streams the record catch, was caught recently on the Hamp- | shire Stour by the orthodox method of rod and line.

This fish turned the scale at 37 1-4 |

pounds. Its length is 45 inches and | «irth 24 inches. When first taken out | of the water it was weighed with a spring balance and reached the figure | of over 40 pounds, but. in the inter- vening time it has shrunk to its pres- ent size. It lies, a wonder to all be- | holders, in the shop of Messrs. Mile- | stone and Stanforth, Swallow Place, Oxford street, with the tiny roach | with which it was caught still stuck | fast in its gills. _ The captor of this noble prize was | interviewed by a representative of the press. “I caught her,” he said, ‘on | Sunday morning on Lord Wimborne’s estate. The stream was in flood, and | I was fishing with enan tackle in a very fast stream. T had an hour be- | fore caught and given away a 14 pound pike, which is probably the I dropped my bait into the run and it was cartied by the swirl rovnd the corner into a back- | water which shelves gradually un to- werds the bank from the point of the islend,

“The nike took mo feitly anietly. | for she was old and sluggish, and not for some time did I reslize that I wea fast in one of the biermst pike thet have ever been caught in the Rritish Isles. She fonght me for near. | ly half an hour, and at Inst T man- aged to vet her toward the shelving | bank. My keeper, wild with excite- ment, plunged into the water, and we oot her out somehow.

“She looked lovely on comire out of the water. The shadine of her

vy was exquisite, and the pink spots which have since grown blurred and faded showed up splendidly. My | chief reason, however, for congcratula- tion is that she must have been one | of the worst thieves in our duck de- coy. There is no close season for pike | on the Stour, otherwise she might | long have survived as the terror of | the wild ducklings which we rear there every summer, and have missed

“The people of this country shoul meditate on the fact that we are not merely the centre of a great Empire, but that we have to police, with what I may call a long-range professional army, our dominions across the seas.

“We want not only a great army, but a great navy with the command | of the sea. Because we are an island | we should be fools ifiwe neglected the | defence which the sea makes possible to us.

Is Lord Milner a German?

It may be remembered, apropos of the meteoric career of Lord Milner, who was fifty-five the other day, that when he got his peerage certain news- papers contended that he was a Ger- man alien, and, as such, could not sit in the House of Lords. As a mat ter of fact, Lord Milner, though edu- eated in Germany, was born in Eng- land. His father, Dr. Milner, might perhaps have been described as “‘a German subject,” since he was born in Germany. But Dr. Milner’s fath- er was English, and the son of an Englishman is always an English- man too, wherever he may have been born, Lord Milner has been deserib- ed as ‘society’s most incorrigible bachelor.

| in an effort to introduce tea, coffee,

and chocolate into England, thus:

Tea: “That excellent and by~all |

Nations Tay, alias Tee.”

Coffee: “The grain or berry called caffee, growing only upon little trees in the deserts of Arabia. Brought ftom thence and. as drunk generally throughout all the Grand Seignor’s dominions. It is a simple, innocent

| thing composed into a drink.”

And chocolate: ‘“‘An excellent West India drink called Chocolate.’

pendence upon advertising then and now cannot be better shown than by a experience after the great London re. wiped out by fire. The printer of The London Gazette, with almost prophe- tic acumen, offered his colunins for notices of new ‘locations of shops.

WHAT THOS. McDONALD SAYS OF DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS.

He Had Lame Back, Kidney Disease | and Heart Flutterings, and One Box Cured Him.

Shubenacadic, Hants Co., W. 8. | (Special).—“I suffered from Lame Back, Kidney Disease and Heart Flut- terings, caused by cold and a strain, \for three years. I was looking over some papers and saw Dodd’s Kidney | Pills advertised and IT bought one box |whiech completely cured me. Dodd's Kidney Pills are wonderful.”

That is the’ simple, straightforward | statement of Mr. Thomas McDonald, a well known resident of this place. {It shows how quickly Dedd’s Kidney | Pills cure Kidney Disease when taken in its earlies; stages. "Lame Back is ‘one of the first symptoms of sick Kid- neys. Heart Flutterings is another |syrmptom. It is caused by blood, from | which the sick Kidneys have failed to |strain the impurities, intreasing the |work of the heart. Dodd’s Kidney | Pills-make the sick Kidneys well, the lame back disappears, the blood is | purified, the heart is relieved and the | flutterings stop. | If the case is of long standing, it | mav take longer to cure it, but Dodd's | Kidney Pills never fail to do it.

“This is a Wicked Trade at the Store

World’’--Bank Man- ager Imprisoned

Montreal, June 2nd—Interviewed

on his-way to St. Vincent de Paul

penitentiary, Phillippe Roy, ex-presi-

dent of the Banque St, Jean, convicted

of making false returns of the govern- ment, said that he was indifferent to his fate and had nothing to reproach

himself with and his conscience was

clear.

He went so far as to say that. he did not consider that 12 farmers made a jury of his peers and that had 12

bankers tried the case the result would have been very different, finally saying: ‘‘ What dol care. I

aman old man and am going to die. This is a wicked world and I care for nothing now.”

The Roy exposures are more proofs of graft and. corruption so prevalent now-a-days amongst those who wish to get rich quick at the expense and ruination of others.

It behooves us to steer clear of banks and other institutions that have as their figure head dishonest men.

There are many old banks doing business in Canada today whose financial standing is excellent and business methods unquestionable, and if our people allow themselves to be any longer defrauded by such institu- tions as the Bank of St. Johns they deserve but very little sympathy.

Zoo on Handkerchiefs

Every now and then fashion decrees that there shall be a zoological out- break. This season it takes the form of every kind-of winged, horned and four-footed creature.

On. handkerchiefs, umbrellas, blot- ting books, bags and notepaper there are creeping, crawling, flying insects, birds and beasts. It is the fashion of the moment to have something of the kind on all one’s belongings.

Beetles and butterflies appear on dainty handkerchiefs, swallows and mice and lady birds and owls mean- der over stationery; dragons and pef- cocks are emblazoned on sofa cush- ions, kittens and Teddy bears decorate the tops of umbrellas, while possible and impossible creatures are utilized , as hat pins.

Women would appear to have a pen- chant for natural history At one time there was a craze for stuffed kit- tens that crawled over photograph frames and another which caused women to wear the heads and coils of various dedi creatures slung about their necks and depending from muffs, while their waists and wrists were adorned or disfigured with coiled ser- | pents.

VICTIMS OF BLACKMAILING, | Some of the Schemes Framed Up to

Get Money Away From Royalty.

It is said that no one in all the world falls a vietim to the snare of the blackmailer more readily than a

| member of a royal house and in spite of the fact that all precautions are taken to guard royalty against unpleasant experiences of that na- ture. If the blackmailer has the | faintest shadow of a “hold”’ it is im- | possible to fight it out in court and the unhappy prince must. grin and— pay it.

The German Crown Prin¢ee is the latest victim. When he was at Ploen College he struck up a friendship with a young German noble, Count Hoch- berg, who ,was also a_ student at Ploen. The friendship was kept up after college days were over, and for |

some time letters were exchanged | regularly. The count fell on evil days and

had to emigrate to America, where he

became chauffeur to man named Barnes. After some time he dropped his own.name and, having adopted |

that of Barnes, vanished from ‘the sight and hearing of his friends. Recently he has reappeared—with |

Untamable Tasmanian Wolf

About as untamable an animal as ever came into captivity has been add- ed to the London (Eng.) collection in the form of a Tasmanian wolf. The | new arrival, the first of its kind re. eeived for a long time, hates mankind with a deathless hatred and makes no | pretence of gentler feclings. It lies | coiled up in the remotest corner of | its den all day, even thé offer of food | being an excuse for an outburst of boundless fury.

The tiger of the southern continent | owes humanity little gratitude. There has been war between them since they first met. Somewhat smaller than a wolf in size, with a dog-like face, a long tapering tail and in color grayish brown, with the hinder part of the oack and loins marked by black cross bands, the thylacine, to give it, its scientific name, is a very distinctive animal.

Tris story was told at a church ban- quet at Atchison: A boarder com- plained to the proprietor of a hotel that he had found hair in the ice cream, hair in the honey, and hair in the apple sauce.

Recently King Leopold of Belgium receievd an anonymous letter from Liege saying that the writer was an accomplice in a plot to blow up the royal palace at Brussels and to kill the entire royal family. He-demand- ed $5,000, which was to be placed at the foot of a certain tree in the Kin- kempois wood near Liege. In return he would reveal what he knew. about the plot.

The King sent’ messengers to the place named: with orders to place an envelope at the toot of the tree and then watch what happened. The watchers had not long to wait. A man who had evidently been keeping an eye on*sthem was seen to take the envelope.

The new servant had never once been within the walls of a theatre | until the kind mistress gave her a ticket one evening for a popular play. She was willing enough to go, of course, and went, but caused great astonishment by returning home be- fore nine o’clock. The story is best | finished by repeating the conversation | between the kind mistress and the | new maid. “Didn’t you go to the! theatre?’ “Indeed, I did that, mum, | an’ it was mighty fine.”” ‘“‘But why | did you not see the play out?” “‘In-|

When a jeading London newspaper, | to exist not only for a hundred but

mercial enterprise, spoke of the issu- | sickness,

ing of ‘'100,000 snares at $5 each,” statement which, however true, was hardly intentional, the splendid fury

of the promoters of that enterprise |

was fully balanced by the large satis- faction, not to say glee, of its enemies, and no one stopped to think that the innocent fact of the close juxtoposi- tion in which the letters “h’ and “n” stand to each other on the type- writer of to-day or a slip on the part of the typesetter in the composing room fully accounted for the “‘error.’’ A typographical error may be an evil thing. It is sometimes a very serious but it never fails of being, from some point of view, funny to the last degree.

The presence of the typewriter in the newspaper offices of to-day has done thuch to méake easier the lives of the author, the editor and the compositor, but the typewriter, with all its advantages, has no autdématic punctuating- device, and the virtue of the comma is amply illustrated by the story of the Scotch divine, an ex- tract from whose sermon as it appear- ed in a local paper reads:

“Only last Sabbath, my friends, a young woman died in this

beastly intoxication.”’

And over a-poem printed in a weekly appeared the startling com- ment:

“The following verses were written more than fifty years ago by a gen- tleman who has for fifteen years lain in his grave for his own amusement.” |

Unusual handwriting, however, has | more to answer for than the vagaries of the typewriter. “The greater the the greater the scrawler” is only too frequently true, and it is not always fair to put the blame for this sort of blunder on the shoulders of the compositor. Carlyle and Bal- zac were two whose copy few printers could read and none would handle for more than an hour at a time. Victor Hugo and Byron were impos- sibly bad penmen, and Sydney Smith is quoted as frankly saying:

“IT must decline reading my own handwriting twenty-four hours after I have written it.”

WHAT MRS. GILMAN SAYS.

The Average Woman Is “Petty” In Daily Life. b

I read an article by Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, entitled “Woman the Enigma,” said a woman recently who conducts the household page in a New York daily. Mrs, Gilman is .always standing up for woman and siucerely 80; but, as in this article, she often cries down the “house service” and puts the wider out in the world life above it. She says:

“The average woman ih daily life is petty and personal to the last . Yes, and what is her daily life? Does it involve the consideration of large

| affairs, the broadening complex of | world business? Hardly, It consists in ap endless repetition of the smallest

| found of duties, in the narrowest per-

' sonal relation. The universal profes- | sion of women, -house service, is ac- | countable for her -pettiness.”
