A PrOSpectOr in Pettic0ats.

Woman's sphere is daily charging,

threaten fresh incursions into the king
dom formerly held sacred to man. The
latest development in this line was
brought to the attention of Globe

st. Louis Mining and Stock EXCHANGE.
when he was introduced to Mrs. Alice
Berrge Clarke, a lady prospector, assayer
and mining correspondent Mrs. Clarke.

the possession of several mining claims.
In order to superintend their develop

Is a sklllful prospector, and in handling
the mineral specimens on exhibition at
the Exchange, displayed her Familiarity
with their component parts by intelli-
gently criticising their probable ASSAY
value. Mrs. Clarke is also comnre.

profit by acting as special correspondent

Earning His Bread.

Yesterday forenoon tramp called at
house on Adams avenue and asked
If he might saw enough wood to paw
for his breakfast.
That's pretty old dodge" replied
the house owner. "You knew we
burned coal before you came in.''

"Snow Why the walks have been
bare for two weeks -
Yes, believe they have, but I'd be
willing to shovel snow for half an hour
for my breakfast
Would you ? Then you shall have
the chance. Come out here
The citizen produced a snow-shovel
and pointed to an old bank on a
vacant lot and said
There's your job. Shovel away on
that for half an hour and you shall
have solid meal''
The tramp felt his lame back. and
rubbed his rheumatic wrists, and won
dered If ne wasn't going to have the
ague, but couldn't very well back out.
He rushed by the small crowd which
had gathered, and when his half hour
was up he was damp clear behind his
ears, and he complained that his appe-
tlte for breakfast had all been worked
away. A compromise was therefore
effected on a cash basis, and he took
two nickels and hurried off as if he
much feared some one else would try
to help him along by offering him work.
