TURNING AN HONEST PENNY.
How Some Fashionable Ladies' Make
Their PIN Money.

A New York paper says: Women try
unhesrd of experiments to make money;
and though often with pitiable results,
the certain consequences of desperate or
ill-timed measures, quite az often with
rare and radiant success.
One that has grown to be a recognized
business, extensively pursued, though
on the sly, is the practice of taking wo-
men and children out to ride at price
per hour far below anything the livery
stables offer. As this business is almost
exclusively monopolized by ladies'
who toll not, neither do they spin, so far
a. the world knows, it has gained but
little publicity. Frequently advertise
ments similar to the following appear in
newspapers, but always signed simply by
an initial:
Notice to Invalids.-A lady will take
an invalid lady or child for drive in
the park, or elsewhere, as often as desir-
ed, for small compensation. Address Y.
76, etc"
Every issue of such advertisement, in
fair weather, is apt to bring several an
swers. To these the female Jehus reply
in person at the modest figure of fifty
cents an hour. Their phaetons are gen
erxlly stylish and we'll kept, and their
horses handsome, if not the most man.
ageable in the world. They array them
selves in modish driving-costumes, and
rein up in front of the houses designated
in the note of response to the advertise
ments quite as Donchalsntly as though
their flares" were friends of years
standing. They know nothing of the
person they take out, and their "fares"
know nothing of them. All women af-
feet the severest propriety in regard to
whom they are seen with in public
That it is an affectation with many of
them is proven by the readiness with
which they are willing to drive out with
somebody who may be anything but con-
genial, OK even reputable, when the
chance of earning little money on the
ely presents itself.
One Of the grimmest guardians of an
extremely aristocratic "set" may often
be seen bowling through the parks with
her invalid Cat fifty cents an hour) prop
ped up by her side. She meets her fash
ionable friends occasionally, of course;
bat she whips up and cuts BY them with
= showy bow.

A beautiful girl, with large blue eyes
and golden hair, but shabbily dressed,
greatly interested large crowd Of gen.

hymn, "Jesus, lover of my soul" As

She looked around despairingly and

There were cries of "Throw him over

The large man, who looked like rail.
road President, insisted; said that the
deck hand was doing his duty, aud that
the ferry company had ordered all nui-
sapces suppressed. He acknowledged
that he had complained of her. The
murmers of discomfort and anger arose
around him, at which he seemed some

Then she told her pitiful story of a sick
mother, dead father, no work, hunger,
distress and her anxiety to get employ

she cried, breaking completely down.
The large man was absshed and the
crowd looked angry and scornful again.
He at once apologized and, to show his
regret for his blunder, Immediately took
out So bill, which he dropped into his
hat. Then he passed the hat, which was
soon filled with money. After the pass

girl and they went off together. He was

A Stern Fact.

The poet Staddard, of New York, once
sent one of his poems to another poet.
Poe, the editor of the Broadway Maya
zine. At first Poe told him it would ap-
pear, but on Stoddard's going to the
Office afterward to zee why it didn't, and
introducing himself as the author of the
"Ode to Grecian Flute" Poe called
him liar, said he never wrote it, and
that if he didn't get out he'd kick him
down stairs. 1t is not every man who
can thus sink the sensitiveness of the
poet in the stern duty of the editor.

western are the lines which have project
ed and will carry out this important move
The route will be over the Burlington to
Forreston, where the connection is made
with the Illinois Central. Running ever
that road to Dubuque. thence over it's
leased roads, the Dubuque g. Sioux City,
to Cedar Falls, where it takes the Cedar
Falls & Minnesota road to Mona. At this
point connection is made with the Mime
sofa & Northwestern to St. Paul Much
speculation has been INDUCED in over the
future of the Minnesota & Northwestern.
A. b. Stickney, president of the company,
maintaining that it would be an indie
pendent line, and while operating IN con-
ncction with other lines, would be oper-
ated and controlled by no other corpor-
alton than the Minnesota & Northwestern
Railroad company. There is no particu
1t shadows forth new freight rate, and
that is not at least contemplated. The
new passenger line will be equipped with
fine passenger coaches, Pullman sleeoers,
buffet cars, etc.. it being the intention to
compete actually for share of the traffic
1t will probably go into operation July
10. General Passenger Agents Perclval
Lowell of the Burlington, Littell of the
Minnesota g. Northwestern, and Hanson
of the Illinois Genital, decided Yesterday
on the features to be adopted.
This new passenger route will be nearly
as short as the Milwaukee or Northwest
ern, and shorter than the Rock Islands
"Albert Lea route" Neither the Burl-
ington nor the Illinois Central have had a
direct line to St. Paul from Chicago, but
only on business between St. Louis and
st. Paul. The Illinois Central did no
passenger business between St. Paul and
Chicago. During the summer months 1t
had an outlet for freight business via the
Davidson line of steamers from Dubu-
que, but in the winter it depended on
connecting lines, which gave it no chance
to do business on even terms. No ar
rangement for running freight trains had
yet been perfected, but it is understood
it will soon be made. The entrance of
this new line into St. Paul from Chicago
will no doubt further complicate the af-
fairs of the Northwestern Traffic Associ-
ation.-St. Pnul Globe June II.
