A SMART WOMAN DRUMMER.
mrs. Habock ms Commercial
Traveier-A sLeteh OF the Only
Woman Drummer.

The only successful woman drum
mer in this country is creating some
excitement in Western commercial
circles. She is Mrs. X. Kabok. OF
course she is pretty. She travels for a
Franklin street dry goods importer
and covers the entire country. This
branch OF industry has long been pre-
empted by men, and it has been re-
garded as next to impossible for a
woman to achieve success on the road,
but Mrs. Kabok's career shows that
popular opinion in this regard is
wrong. The hardships of the busi-
ness she bears equally as bravely as
her fellow statesmen and her employers
are more than pleased with her work.
Her expense bills are lighter than
those Of the other travellers, as cigars
and beer bills are not included in her
accounts. Although she is unable
to dine her rural customers and bait
them with costly luncheons, she man.
ages to secure their orders as readily
dS any Ol neT competitors.
Mrs. Kabok is young, plucky, well
informed and carries herself with tact
and dignity. Her life has been filled
with adventures. She came to this
country from Vienna with her father
in 1873. Six years ago she was mar
ried in Chicago. Two years later her
husband committed suicide. She
then moved to this city, where her
chilren died. II was then that she
sought work to earn her living and
divert her mind from the sad events
Of the past. When asked about her
work she said:
/ like the work. travel Just as
quickly and cover just as much ground
as my male competitors. | have
never been insulted yet | have met
with respect wherever went, wher-
ever ! was and whomsoever / APP
preached. II lies entirely with lady
to be protected, and that is through
and by her own demeanor
Regarding the ability OF women to
sell more goods than men, she said
think they can. You see, woman
has certain tastes and ideas which a
man, in that respect, | think, is not
particularly gifted with. And as long
as you suggest the thought, | also be-
lieve that il one in earnest with her
work and occupation a woman will
stick TO it more closely and show
little more energy than a man. Maybe
am mistaken in it, however. And,
after all, still remain the woman
with all that the word implies. Only
recently, at the Palmer House in Chi
cago, met couple at the breakfast
table with little golden-haired angel
between them. The image of my
own boy rose up within me, and l had
to leave the table. Up in my room
| then had real good cry. But felt
strengthened, and two hours later sold
a large BILL"

trary.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

Drew Rcn,s rfeturc.

One of the pages in the House OF
Representatives had a faculty of draw
ing. His sketches of the members
was fairly good caricatures. The
easiest mark for his pencil was the
statesman from Massachusetts, and the
caricatures of Ben began TO float
around the House pretty promiscu-
ously. The matter coming to the at
tention of Mr.. Butler, complaint was
made to the doorkeeper, who had
charge Of the pages. The offending
boy was kept after adjournment to be
reprimanded. He was taken before
the statesman, who had waited to hold
court on the little criminal.
So you are the boy that has been
making these pictures ?"
Yes, sir"
Hum! How old are your"
Twelve, SIR"
Well, go to the cloak-room and
get my hat"
The boy scampered off on the err
rand, glad even for the momentary
respite, but revolving in his mind the
possible character of the impending
punishment. which was such that the
Judge needed his hat before going to
the place of execution. When the
youngster had returned and trem-
blingly yielded up the tile, the Gen
eral, who had an enormous head,
threw the hat like a candle-snuffel
down over the tow head end flaming
face OF the boy. 1t covered him like
a second mortgage.
{" My son." said the hero of New
Orleans, "when you can fill that hat
you may caricature Benjamin F. But

WOMEN WORK roo HARD.
80 Much 80, Indeed. that No Rest
of Any Kind is Permitted.

Il
Neither in civilized, semi-civilized
nor savage nations do women get
proper relaxation and rest. The saw
ages make OF their women creatures
only comparable to beasts Of burden.
The Comanche warrior takes better
care OF his wife. The Turk or the
Arab either locks her up as a prisoner
or makes her slave TO minister at
once to his appetites and his wants.
In many countries the wife does all
the drudgery Of the household, be-
sides all the drudgery Of the shop,
the mine or the field. There are Eu-
ropean States, the rulers of which
hold high heads, where the sturdy
yeoman thinks it well enough to yoke
his wife and his COW to the plow while
he trots contentedly behind the han
dies! Even in enlightened and re-
publican France it is no uncommon
sight to see the woman hauling un-
aided the heavy huckster's cart, from
which the man sells the fruits and
vegetables and pockets the proceeds !
In this goodly land, indeed. it is
something different, but even here the
woman's work is as hard or even
harder than the mans. The man
employed in the factory when he quits
work stops TO rest. The woman drops
her thread in the mill TO pick it up
again in the home. The farmers wife
gets mp before day to get the farmers
breakfast and start him a-feld. His
work is done with the going down Of
the sun. Her work lasts all the day,
and when darkness comes she ats
down and plies her sewing, or her
knitting, or her mending, poor, weary
soul, to rest herself while the good
man smokes. This is no fancy pic
ture.
1t is everyday life in the thousands
of households. And the women en-
gagged in the higher occupations, liter
ature, the arts, etc, are bound to no
lighter thralldom, especially il they
have homes and children. The man
of letters shuts himself up in his
Office or his den and gives his mind
and his time wholly over to the work
III ldiiu. W. HcH IL Is uOilc nc icSt5
until another day brings its work.
The woman OF letters is lucky, indeed,
if she can concentrate her mind for
the time being upon her work. And
when it is done there are a thousand
and one demands upon her in her
woman's position of housekeeper, wife
and mother, and in fulfilling them
the hours that should be given to rest
are occupied. There is no greater
drudge in the world than the woman
who undertakes to do mans work and
woman's work too. She never rests.

Starving tn Once.

A Postmaster in a small village in
Mississippi has written to the Post
master General, asking him to dis
continue the Office. He explains that
his neighbors, who are wool growers,
became distrustiul OF his rabbit-dog,
and, in consequence, he states, " it
turned up missing" So am left
here" continues the Postmaster pa
thetically, without the means of sus-
tenance. So if you expect me to set
up nights for the train you will have
to forward at once some pork and
beans or some other nourishment, or
a new Postmaster will have TO be ap-
pointed at this place" lie adds in a
postscript: "Mr. - wants me to
split him som rails If can get rid OF
this office, so hurry up with the grub
or the discharge. The office was dis.
continued in response to this appeal.

Genuine Aristocracy.

rosy, spirited Western girl, "that the
society of the West is very good now ;
so that one need not hesitate about
living there on that score. Yes, in

society is first class now. I've counted
so many as fifty or sixty diamond pins
and sealskins in one Sunday at our
church, and when it comes to a full
dress display We amt behind any

Novel Dinner Dev,ce.

The most novel dinner device which
| have heard of recently was a mold OF
wine jelly in the midst of which was
set an electric light. The dish had to
be arranged on the table beforehand,
but it was concealed by big silver
cover, which was in turn hidden by
flowers so as to form a center-piece to
the table. When the cover was re-
moved, and the jelly, with its cluster
OF red and golden and purple fires was
disclosed, the effect was quite tremen-
dous. One lady, it is true, asked her
escort if he didn't suppose the jelly
would taste electrical, and another in
eating it declared she felt as if she
were swallowing a Leyden jar; hui
the device was really very pretty as
well as novel and striking.-Provl

Ju.. Like she arown.up children.

Two boys were seen pummeling a
smaller one on a side street the past
week, when a passer-by went up to
them and ordered them to desist, ask
ing at the same time what it was all
about. Dead silence for a moment.
The passer-by again demanded what
it meant. Then one Of the young
fighters, more bold than the other an
swered: I" 1t means that we've made
