Journalism for Women.

Of late years journalism has offered a
new field for educated women, and to-
day, in America, there are a few who
make money and whose names are
known to every one. But, alas, we see
and hear of those who win; the many
who fail do SO with no one to tell of
their struggles. People are apt to fancy
writing for the press easy work, which
any one with tolerable fuency-and
most women are fiuent-can do. In
point of fact, no profession needs more
careful training. A man who sets up as
q cabinet maker, knowing only how to
handle a plane; woman who essayed
shoemaking, expecting success because
she could sew straight seam, would be
as wise as she who hopes to make her
self name and fame among writer's on
the strength of her ability to write
readable private letter. And journal
ism-steady, faithful work-which is
ready with it's article to order on any
subject, at any hour, is the only literary
work which may always be depended
on for daily bread and butter, let alone
the cakes and sweetmeats SO dear to the
feminine tooth. There Is always plenty
of room at the top but genius is the
poisoning of an aloe-the fruit of a
century. Talent, allied to pluck and
perseverance, is sure to win in the long
run, but it must be, in most cases, by a
hand-to-hand fight with defeat close
contest with the struggling crowd at the
bottom. In general literature, even
when there has been real talent to back
the aspirant, and where success has
come at last, it has often come after
many failures, and, when success comes,
the pecuniary reward is often pitifully
small. A distinguished writer is re-
ported to have once said, jocularly, that
his books averaged him $1.25 year
apiece, and even the great noyelists OF
the century have not made fortunes.

ing by her pen may count herself sue

Mistaken.

The roads of Wyoming Territory, in
the region of the Black Hills, are in
tested with stage-robbers. A CORE
spondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal, writing of their recent vii
famous exploits, says: Some amusing
incidents occurred in these robberies.
On one occasion, when the treasure box
yielded little or nothing, the passengers
were robbed. Among them was a fe-
male from Deadwood, who had large
amount of money, nuggets and jewelry
on her person, and one of the, gang in
formed her she, too, must disgorge
With gallantry much more commend
able than the language he used, another
robber announced that he did not go
into this thing to rob women, and it
could not be done A wrangle ensued
which finally resulted in the female pro-
ceeding unplucked. Soon afte1ward
another coach passed down containing
another female, and the passengers
thought themselves very sagacious in
loading her down with their gold watch

Com collectors will be interested in
the fact that one of the 5-franc pieces
coined under the nephew of his uncle
has just been sold for $48. It was one
of the coins known as the "lock-of-hair''
pieces. Immediately after the coup
d'etat, Napoleon ordered the coin
age of silver with his effigy; die was
prepared, and proof-coin struck off and
sent to the Elysee. Those were busy
times there, and the Prince-President
left the coin carelessly on the chimney
piece for two or three days. When
next he CHANGED upon the proof-coin, on
examining it closely, he was dissatisfied
with the curl of one lock of hair upon
the temple and sent it back to the mint.
with directions to have the defect
altered. The messenger reached the
mint just as the Director, taking silence
to mean assent, had ordered the work
men to begin striking off the 5-franc
pieces. Before the order was counter
manded, a few pieces twenty three, the
legend says-had been minted, and, as
may naturally be supposed, these pieces
have peculiar value for collectors on
account of their rarity.

In the public gardens of Vienna a
bear underwent an operation for cata-
ract. He was blind in both eyes. A
strong leather collar was firmly buckled
around his neck, and the attached chain
passed round bar of the cage. Two
powerful men pulled him up, so that a
sponge containing chloroform might be
applied to his nose. The first evidence
of the action of the chloroform was a
diminution of his struggles; one paw
dropped and then the other. The door
of the den was opened, and his head
laid upon plank outside. The cata-
racts were removed, and the bear was
drawn back into his cage. Next morn
ing he came out of his den staring
about him, caring nothing for the light,
licking his paws, and evidently glory
ing in the recovery of sight.

In the German army alone the forma-
ton of men in line of three ranks is
still retained After the disastrous
campaign of 1906 line of two ranks
was introduced for use in the field I'M
der certain circumstances, but the three
rank formation was still to be employed
for parade, drill and Institutional pur-
poses. Of late, however, and especially
since the conclusion of the war of 1901,
in which it became very apparent that
the only conditions under which it
might still be advantageous to employ
three-rank line are not at all likely to
occur again in the field of battle, the wis
dom of still retaining the drill. book has
been much questioned, although there
is also strong party who are in favor
of altogether discarding, not the three
deep, but the two-deep line.

Two RUSSIAN ladies, rival beauties,
sojourning at Petigorsh, fashionable
resort on the northern slope of the eau
casus, recently quarreled over dashing
cavalry officer. One sent formal chal-
lenge to the other to fight duel. This
was accepted and the parties met. Be
fore the belligerents had taken position
the trembling of one lady's hand caused
the pistol to go off, the bullet passing
through the dress of the other. The
latter fell in swoon, when the former
threw away her pistol and ran to help
her antagonist The PROSTATE lady, re-
covering from her fright, seized her
rival by the hair, and the two fought it
out on the ground, boxing each others
ears, pulling hair, punching, scratching,
etc. The police put in an appearance
and carried the assailants off the ground.

AT last good news comes from the
famine districts in China. Rain has
fallen in sufficient quantities to hold out
promise of fair autumnal crops. All
that is now Immediately required, there
fore, is to find support for the sufferers
until the grain is once more gathered
in. But the more important question
of how can such Yisitations be avoided
for the future still remains for the con-
sideration of the Chinese Government.
During the last dynasty-from 1868 to
1628-the provinces now suffering from
drought were visited by similar periods
Of famine forty times. That the ex-
IRENE verge of misery was sometimes
reached may be gathered from the
ominous statement appended to the ac-
count of ten of them that "men eat
each other" The records of the pres
ent dynasty are not yet available, but
there is no reason to suppose that the
droughts have, under the Manchoo rule
been less frequent than formerly.

100000 of laborers in slavery, thus de-
grading the whole mass of laborers in
the country.
2. They refused to pass the Home
stead law.
8. They went to war to perpetuate
slavery.
4. They held that slavery was the nor
NAL condition of the laborer.
5. They enacted that all dues to the
Government should be paid in coin,
that Government employees might be
paid in a superior currency, leaving only
deprecated State currency for the la
borer.
6. They opposed the creation of a
Government currency for all the people.
Z. Since their accession to power, I'M
der the false plea of economy, they have
refused appropriations of the peoples
money for needed improvements, thus
depressing labor in time of general
distress, while they squandered millions
in profitless investigation and payment

s. They have attempted the reduction
of the tariff, that American labor might
be reduced to competition with the half
paid labor OF foreign countries.
9. They have refused encouragement
to commerce, through which our SUR

10. They have embarrassed and re-

GEN. BRIsBIN estimates that there are
now 92,729 Indians on reservations in
: akota, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Michigan, Wyoming, Mon
tana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
They occupy 92,757,953 acres of land,
which he would open to settlement by
removing the Indians to permanent
Indian Territory north of the Missouri
and Columbia rivers. He would give
up the entire region between these
rivers and the British Possessions, cut
ting it up into reservations extending
from the rivers north to the boundary
line. He believes this the best game
region left; that it will be the last por-
ton Of the country settled by the
whites, and he would put the Indians
there and allow no whites to cross the
line.

Thus early is thesquestlon being az
Iitated blythe press OF. a probable can
1didate for Representative in Congress
for the First District now SO ably and
worthily represented by the Hon
T Charles g. Williams. New names are
being brought before us, and theiraoll-
tiles canyassed with 4 degree OF ear
nestness that justly entities them to
respectful consideration. Among the
number we notice the name OF the
Hon. J. b. Cassoday, of Rock County,
IA gentleman eminently qualified to fill
any honorable and responsible office
within the gift Of the people. a long
personal acquaintance with Mr.. G. will
Justify us in the belief that he does
not desire his name to be used as a
candidate against Mr.. Williams but,
on the contrary, will use all honorable
means to secure his denomination. In
fact Mr.. G. has already in a letter to
the public defined his position as hay
ing no desire to become a candidate.
We are pleased to note that Dick
in The Geneva Lake Herald Of the / tn
INST, comedies the ability and fitness
of Mr.. Williams, but nevertheless de-
sires change. Right here lies our
great weakness We are too fond of
change Other considerations being
equal, our interests would be much
more effectually protected while in
charge of one whose experience will
enable him to grapple with the intrigue
and chicanery of Congressional legisla-
tion9 MI. Williams has that expert
ence and in our opinion should be re-
tanned. IF there was ever a time when
our National Interests demanded the
Natchful careiof our most experienced
Legislators, that time is now. We are
rapidly approaching a crisis in the his
tory of our Nation, the results Of which
will have q more direct bearing upon
our every future interest than has
been our lot since the organization of
our government. ag
IF we have tried and true men at
the helm to-day, it .behooVes us as a
people to hold fast to their service in
the hope that we may pass safely over
the maelstrom in which we. are in i'm
mediate danger Of being. engulfed.
Mr. Williams is not.an office seeker.
We well remember the governing mo-
tive of the convention that gave him
his first nomination. 1t was not con-
ferred on him as a favor, but in the.
confident belief that he would faithful
ly represent the varied interests of his
constituents, That he has ably and
discharged these trusts we
must admit. g M
The charge Of Dick that "Mr"l
Williams is actively at work to secure
the nomination. is in our opinion
without foundation in truth. AS a
servant of the people, he, like General
Grant, has no interests of his own to
foster. Grave and Important compli-
cations are staring us full in the face,
