LOTS WIFE.
BY THE "FAr CONTRIBUTOR.

Mr.. Griswold is writing a series of BIZ
ographical sketches of eminent women,
which appear in regular succession in
the Fat Contributors Saturday Night.
The following is sample
EMINENT woMEN-LoT's s WIFE.
Mrs. Lot was chiefly remarkable in
history as a woman who turned into
pillar Of salt. Women turn into salt
nowadays, but its salt and battery. This
misfortune overlook her while fleeing
from the doomed city OF Sodom in COM
pany with Mr.. Lot, and lots of little
Lots. She was required not to look
back, but true to the instincts of her sex
she did. Tell woman she mustn't do a
thing and she is very apt to do it. She
probably met some women going. to
Sodom to see the fireworks and couldn't
resist the feminine impulse to turn
round and see what they had on. Lots
of wives would have done what Lots
wife did. Enforce such an ordinance
now and pillars of salt would stand so
thick on the streets pedestrianism would
become impossible, and the Syracuse
salt works be abandoned Lot seems to
have pushed right along as though moth
ing had happened. What did he want
of salt wife when it was so easy to get
a fresh one2
How long Mrs. Lot remained stand
ing advertisement of the salt business
we do not know. No mention of her
subsequent career is anywhere found.
Whether she opened refreshment stand
and catered to the curious crowd who
flocked to see the ruins of the fated cities
Of the plain-because caterpillar, as 1t
were--we are unable to say. A woman
who could turn into pillar of salt ought
to be able to turn her hand to almost
anything. If she had anything about
her she would have rented little room
(shall we say little salt rheum p and
gone into the show business. She would
have been great card and made good
deal more than her salt. Relics of So
dom, GomoSFah, Chicago, Boston, etc.,
would have sold we'll to tourists, although
they would be compelled to take the
histories of them with grain of salt.
Mrs. L. could have retired after a few
years with competency, for of course
every nickel she took would have been
salted down. i
She would have been well preserved
woman to good old age, and eontented
With her lot, no doubt, although LOT don't
seem to have been very well contented
Will her. Growing rich from exhibiting
herself as the "Salt woman" Snd having
invested her funds judiciously in corner
lots. greedy adventurers would attempt
to corner Lots wife, casting lots who
should have her.
The case of this unfortunate woman,

sad one. II fact it is about as bad a

at least talked Of, nothing else. If a
thing was not very well worth telling he
would not tell il. The consequence Of
all this was that he soon obtained the
reputation Of liar. The common mind
could not comprehend how he could be-
come acquainted with so much that was
unusual, and so, whenever he opened his
mouth people instinctively looked for
stretcher," to say the least. Had he
mingled his strange experiences and OBJ
servations with n good deal Of matter Of
an ordinary kind he might have been a
great conversational success.
Another set of bankrupt takers owe
their ill-fate to their bad habit of offer
ing counterbalancing experiences. No
enc can even relate an incident but
these folks can metch it, and, what is
worse, can often tell something better.
Nothing is more discouraging to well
organized talker than one OF these peo-
pie. No matter how much pleasure we
anticipate-and ought to realize-in
telling something novel and interesting,
a man Of this class will hardly wait un-
til we have finished before he COM
mences to relate the story of which ours
has reminded him. Our. statement or
narration is not only deprived Of oppor-
tunity Of consideration and apprecia.
tion, but is crushed and humbled beneath
the better story of this inconsiderais
person. And it is melancholy fact
that the stories of these people is gen.
orally better than ours. 1t is in fact this
fatal excellence which starts them on
their road to their ruin.
There are other divisions of the great
multitude of society people who have
failed as takers, but we have not room
to discuss them here. 1t is curious,
however, to note that there are very few
women among these bankrupts. Women
are generally not only economical in the
use Of the odds and ends Of converse
ton, but they make very good show of
them, and often astonish you by pre-
senting you with some of your ewn
ideas, warmed up and served so nicely
that you scarcely recognize them. And
then, besides the fact that most women
have an extensive sinking fund " on
which to draw in times of temporary
conversational embarrassment, they
would always rather borrow than fail; if
they can't talk about a subject them
selves they will make others talk, and
no one is so successful as a conversa-
tionalist as one who makes other people
talk.-Scribner s for June.
