.- Somebody writes of feminine type settlers ::
GAS class female printers are diligent and
worthy. They never "sojer;'' they never
bother the editors for chewing tobacco; they
never prowl around among the exchanges for
the Police Gazette; they never get themselves
full of bulge and try to clean out rival print
shops they never swear about the business
manager; they do not smoke nasty old clay
pines they never strike for more pay; they
do not allude to the editorial matter as ''slush"
or 'shogwash - in short, they are patient,
gentle, conscientious and reliable"

correctly stated, dispose of great deal of fic-
ton lately indulged as to the alleged financial
embarrassments Of the largest dry goods es-
tablishment in the world.
