The life of tho factory girl is n hard
one. The great cinmnrous West de-
nands men and leaves to the East a
population drained of bone aud s,new,
with more women than men to fight
the h.rd battle of life. Girls must
eArn the bread which snstains them in
Massachusetts. and the story OF the
Lowell operatives has become IN old
one. From morning till night, the
weary spinners work and upou q pit
tanoe strive to secure the neccssaries
aud comforts which make life endurs-
ble. 1t is not wonderful that they
seek to exchange the hard struggle for
lie of case anu rest when they can
| do SO rightly, and proof of their
strength and virtue that SO few OF
them yield to evil temptation. They
seek to make the best Of things as
they nre and to assert their rights as
they may. A typical girl WAS she who,
discouraged and indignant, answered
the other day her boarding house
keeper who wss lamenting the fate of
boarder who had married grocer of
limited means. Said this brave and
logical mill girl: whats the use OF
talking? You feed us on bul-boef ut
81 week, and then expect us to be
contented angelsl"
Detroit has n policaman who has
thoroughly studied hnnan nature and
Hbo has u heart full of kindness.
When he se.s lady fall he steps for

barrassment, he remarks: "No one

madam. Those boys are muehing
about thing which happened here
two days ago. 1t is very pleasant for
bad day. madam. Your folks nre all
well. hope? Lois of people bnying
Santa Claus presents just now. The
boys are lnughing because bald
headed man fell down. Boys will
laugh, you know. when they are
tickled. Wish to take the car, madam :?
Well, good day. You can rest assured
that no oUe saw yoa fall Some ladies
strike on their head, but you only
stumbled. madam-a mere graceful
stumble"
