Bomething Concerning Young Woman

~"NN-~N--N
Farmer.
Nashville Americana
A wealthy farmer in Rutherford County
not long since was applied to bya good.
looking lad for work, the boy saying that
he preferred to drive harvester or q
wagon or do other light work about the
farm The applicant looked SO delicate
that the farmer refused the request, but
gave the lad the name of farmer in an
adjoining county who wanted boy to
milk COWS. The situation was sought and
the lad taken on trial. The two farmers
met few days since in Nashville and got
to talking about the lad. Said the en-
ployer Of the boy: "He is the best mixer
ever saw, and can get more milk from
the cows than any one l ever had before
him. He attends strictly to business and
suits me frst-rate, but Pm afraid he's
going to create q sensation yet"
Being pressed by his friend, the farmer
was compelled to admit that his wife had
discovered, through the merest accident,
that the supposed boy he had employed to
milk the cows was a woman. "When
found it out told my wife the girl would
have to 20, as 1t would never do to have
our neighbors know we had a woman pa.
rading around the farm in top-boots. My
wife told me she didn't think anybody else
would ever find it out, and 1t was worth
while taking the chances on it, as the lad
suited us so well. liked George and took
my wife's advice, and / think she will be
able to stay with us and wear mems
clothes as long as she wants to.
"She lived up in Indiana and had heard
about Middle Tennessee, where you could
throw your hat on the ripening wheat and
1t would bear 1t up, It was SO thick and
strong; so she determined TO come down
here and get work on farm, where she
could work in the open air nearly all the
year round. II was then that she deter
mined to carry out a long cherished plan,
that Of assuming the garb Of man, which
added so much to her independence in
seeking situation. And you ought to see
her-my milkers She's dandy, can tell
you. She weighs about 140 pounds, is
large for a woman, being about five feet
eight. Her hair is black, and she parts it
on the side and wears it very short She
has large feet and hands and wears kip
boots two sizes too long for her. She has
round face and a roguish twinkle in her
large black eyes, an6 her coarse shirt is
always kept buttoned close around her
well.shaped neck.
"When l tell you she wears a wide
brimmed, coarse straw hat on the back Of
her head, and tightfitting green jeans
pants thrust loosely in the top OF her
coarse boots, always has kind word and
joke for everybody and is very much
liked by my wife, leave you nothing to
add to the picture"

A New Missionary Society.

In the spring Of last year General
Evangelical Society was formed in Ger.
many. A week or two ago It's constituent
assembly was held at Weimar and was at.
tended by about one hundred and thirty
Of the one thousand two hundred nom.
bers Of which the society consists. Tho
object Of the society Is praiseworthy, but
peculiar. II proposes 10 abandon the old
method Of dealing with the vulgar and un.
educated and 60 direct 10 the cultured
classes in India, in China and In Japan.
II proposes not 10 substitute Christianity
for Buddhism and others, but to incor.
porate Christian truth with what Is true
In these religions. Pastor Bass, of Glarus,
who seems 10 be the leading spirit OF the
movement, thinks that the movement
ought 10 commend itself 10 all classes Of
the German community, and that
Catholics. as well as all Protestants Of
every shade and color, should lend their
support. One Of tho speakers, after OK.
patiating upon Chinese culture. said that
"every hour Of delay in conveying to
China knowledge Of Christianity should
be considered sin Of omlssion.n The
london Noncolformfst fears that this so
,icty will long be guilty Of that SIN.

BUDDING STATESMEN.
How Members Of Congress Fool Their Con-
stituents.


Washington Cor. Chicago RIpress.l
II Is safe TO say that not one voter out Of
ton ever knows what his member does In
Congress. II one Of the members consti.
tuents has measure before Congress, the
member, after introducing the bill and get
ting II printed, sends copy to the party
interested. The party getting the bill thinks
his member Is now at work, might and
main for his measure, when in truth, per-
haps, he never thinks Of II again. Occa-
sionally matter Of general interest Is up,
when the member gets permission TO print
q speech. The speech Is not printed for
days and sometimes weeks after the meas.
ure has passed or has been killed. The
member then has several thousands Of
these speeches printed, which he franks
and sends TO the heelers throughout his
district These are shown around, and
in many cases IL Is wonder TO the coun-
tryman how the Hon. Leatherlungs Is such
q smart man in Congress and such q
fool at home. Ny dear voter, that speech
was perhaps written by professional and
cost the member from ten TO twenty-five
dollars. Again, the voter will wonder
after reading the speech how the bill could
have been defeated in the face Of the argu.
ments and facts set forth In that speech.
As stated before, the speech was never
spoken, and In fact not drinted until long
after the House had acted on the matter,
therefore the arguments were never heard
In the halls OF Congress. There Is a
proposition now pending to present the
publication Of any speech not spoken, but
10 willIhardly pass, for II IL 10, then Leather
lungs calling Is gone. Ilt Is apetrined fact
that eight-tenths Of what purports 10 be
done In Congress Is fraud upon the pub
lie, and n should be shown up4nits proper

The slang word OF the moment Is "ele-
CANT" Everything is "eleganp now,
from q cheap cigar TO thunder storm. A
business man came bustling into q res.
taurant yesterday.
show is the kidney stew to-dayp he
yelled to friend.
"Elegant, elegant" said his friend, en-.
Enthusiastically.
People talk about an elegant sail down
the bay, and II is only day or two ago
that dispatch from Boston, in one OF the
New York papers. spoke Of the "elegant
base ball" playing OF the champion team.
Such expressions as "a perfectly elegant
sail" to Coney Island, the "elegant musc'
ut the beach, and so on, are common. 30
much has the word been misused that ''ele.

monplace through unmerited abuse.
The rougher slang Of the moment bitches
on the words "Whavs the matter

81 say, me boy, let's take Q cab and 20
up town."
"Whavs the matter with walkingr
"Nothin'."
And they walk.
"whavs the matter with" means almost

which they indulge in the "whavs the mat

door" In the same way, when he threat.
ems TO stand his companion on his head,
the latter wishes 10 know again what's the
matter with standing on his feet, and %
on indefinitely. The expression has be-
come very common now, but has not, and
probably never will, reach the point at

slang since the war-the expression
