After urgent entreaty, he final

ciety girl and an heiress had requested
a meeting with him that afternoon, and
he hadn't the Selhshness to refuse her
the privilege. The girl in question is
the sister of prominent politician, and
inheritS sum of money that would
make even KYRLE BELLEw the First not
insensible to her attentions. She does
not attempt to conceal from her friends
that she is madly in love with Mr.. RUS
SELL, and she is old enough to warrant
her amorous prostration by the law of
nature which makes ripe fruit pecu-
harly susceptible to the breath of the
south wind. Ii cards are not out soon,
it will be because an elopement is more
romantic, or because B0hemianism has
charms which gilt-edged domesticity
cannot rival, or because other impor
tunate young women will combine to
hinder King MIDAS daughter from mo-
nopolizing KYLE of the " est.

Ungallant 1t does not reflect
creditably on their
Editors. stage of progression
that the editors assOci-
alton which convened in Minneapolis last
week gave women in journalism no
representation. Women have not had
place i'll newspaper work in Minnesota
long. Here, as elsewhere, the need of a
common society reporter" as some
body uncharitably puts it, gave them
an opening. Girls employed at the
postoffice were first utilized in reporting
important social events. Later, ''POlly
Carpe" took literary shape, and OBJ
tanned regular work on the Dispatch.
CARRIE BARTLETT, who left the press
for the pulpit, was the first prominent
oils. She used to take assignments
like a man OH the Tribune, and
StrOye IN every possible way
to be man about her work. She. how
ever, is the Would-be independent
woman who when man said ''damn"
in her presence would turn her face to
the wall and cry. After she quit the
newspaper business to preach she was
up in the Tribune Office one day, and
one of her old co-workers asked her if
she had quite abandoned all the unre-
generate ways of newspaper man.
NO." said she, II am real wicked
sometimes and say rats just like |
used to-" ALICE PALMER, now Mrs.
HENDERSON, did much to overcome in
st. Paul the opposition that exists
everywhere and in every profession
against women. A savage howl of re-
bellion went up in the Pioneer Press
office when Miss PALMER was first pro
posed there. One of the men declared
he would leave the staff the mo-
ment woman came on it. He said
he had worked in an Office with
a woman who had made it a point
to cry at least twenty times day, and
he didn't propose to have his Sympa-
thetic nature subject to another such
trying ordeal. But Miss PALMER is
nothing If not the embodiment of what
a Yankee would call grit" She man
aged to get the privilege of writing crop
letters for the paper at $40 per week.
She said not a word, but pushed steadily
on, and before anybody knew how or
why she was doing responsible mans
work and being paid accordingly. 1t is
no use, and men may as well accept the
situation gracefully-genius won't be
trammeled on account of its petticOats.
One editor in st. Paul says he doesn't
approve of newspaper women because
they ''rattle" the boys, while another
editor asserts, Il find the feminine ele-
ment has become as important in the
Office as 1T is in our homes"
Albert Adj If the Republican
convention had been
mired by composed of women
last week, ALBERT
Women. SCHEFFER would have
undoubtedly received
the nomination for governor. When he
took the platform to reply to the man
who demanded to know what he would
or would not do, and earnestly declared
himself frank man, an honest man,
proud man, he looked the part to such a
degree that feminine opposition would
have fallen as one woman on his neck
and begged him to take the nominations
for every Office on the ticket if he
wanted them. If the time ever comes
when women do convene for political
purposes, in place of the touching Specta-
cleS witnessed last week of the speakers
the platform and shaking
hands with the president before begin
ming their addresses, we shall have the
no less affecting scene of the president
and speaker not only shaking hands,
but closing up and kissing each other.
too. in place of the deafen-
ing howl that greeted the nomination of
the victorious candidate, we shall have
sobs, signs, sniffles, giggles, snorts of
9, 900 women i'll Mysteries.

What Can the Could one always be-
lieve what his eyes tell
Matter Be? him, he might reason
ably conclude that ev-
cry woman who rides on the cable cars
is contaminated. Did you ever fail 10
notice the way the dears act when
crowded car forces one to take a
seat with another? The one already
seated pulls her skirts aside and
looks positively lnsulted, and the
other hesitates, scans the car closely
from end to end to see ii it really can
creature, finds no hope, and finally pulls
her skirts around her in the smallest
possible compass, gingerly lets herself
down more on the arm of the seat than
OIL the seat, stands her umbrella
between her and contagion, turns her
eyes away to escape the sight OF it, and
Tits up her nose above the smell of it.
A yOked steer is beautiful picture of
graceful submission to the inevitable,
with one strange woman
forced into close quarters with another.
A Tale of There is a certain
young man in st. Paul
Trusting Man. who has had recent
painful proof that the
way of the transgressor is hard, and
that honesty IN the end comes no dearer
than the other thing. He walked out
of New York in gum boots, so that the
noise of his going should not disturb the
nerves of the creditors he left
behind him. He brought with him the
Il Il -
tie of less sentimental and more sub
stantial nature. The aforesaid object |
of h. h. d., to all appearances, re-
paid his marked devotion to her in kind
and quantity. But, ahl who can tell
truly of the mystifying means of woman
for cooking fish after her own fashion,
and to suit her own taste, regard
less of any ideas of its own the fish may
have on the subject? The young man
