TIE TYPEWRITER GIRL.


yery valuable Member Of society.
1t is doubtful II there exists in the
land to-day paragraphcr. or any
other species Of alleged humorist. but
who has not something to say about
the typewriter girl. She has been
ridiculed, and even maligned- Col
umns Of prcsumable wit have made
the compositor happy at her expense.
She Is one Of the principals OF tho
photographers stock in trade, and
stands in the pigeon-hole beside the
mother-in-law. spring bonnet and
Observation-Disclosures jokes. She has
been terribly abused, but with Spar
tan courage pounds the keys and
never utters word Of complaint II
Is not unnatural. however, that so
charming subject should receive the
attention OF the festive Photographer.
but IL Is somewhat strange that the
serious side OF the question has never
been considered. The typewriter girl
does not thump the alphabet just for
her health. She learned how to
manipulate the keyboard through
necessity. IL was condition and not
a theory that confronted her. She saw
q territory Of action before her and
rushed forward and planted her claim.
She Is there to stay. She Is regular in
her habits. She may chew gum. but
che never dallies with tobacco. nor
toys with the serpent lurking in the
wine-glasA In these respects her
superiority over her male competitor
is palpably evident Her living ex-
penses are confined to food, tolu and
dress. She never INDUCES In draw
poker, nor high-low-jack, therefore
She can work for smaller salary
than male. and save more, too. She is
an angel OF loneliness about the Office.
The proprietor swears less, and the
Office hoy doesn't whistle as much as
before tho advent Of the typewriter
girl.
II But towering above all these de-
liphtful considerations Is her business
usefulness. The typewriter girl has
discovered what nature knew long
ago, namely. that she Is capable OF
doing the real business Of the world.
She has the capability. and Is fast &C
curing the adaptability. Man has
slowly become monopolist. and adds
TO his monopoly Of vice a monopoly
OF the business world. The pretty

Effect Of a Single Vote.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel
'Forty years ago Col. Seaton, then MAYOR of
the city Of Washington, was his custom, gave
a large dinner party, at which was present.
In the course of the entertainment the import
ance Of one vote and its consequences and good
results was, among other things, the subject of
conversation. and Gov. Corwin (then United
States Senator) narrated in his inimitable man
ner the following, to show, as he said, the bad
results as well as the importance of one vote
and how pig, from whom the devil had not
been cast out, nearly in his estimation ruined
the country, to wit: In the spring of 1911 at
the annual election in Rhode Island, iii one of
the towns or precincts the voting between the
federal and republican Cor democratic, peace
or war; parties had been for years very close.

ing place, having been busy all day, allowed him.
self just barely time to reach the polls In the
evening. He hurriedly crossed his fields on foot
and reaching his last or division fence found
one of his valuable pigs fast between the planks
and stopped to get it out, which he found more
difficult than he expected, but he worked with
all his strength to pull the pig out and fail
ing in that tried to pry of plank from the
fence, which, after some time. he succeeded in
doing, and then started on a run for the voting
place. Just as he got within 100 feet of it the
town clock struck and the polls closed with
out his vote. The result was that democrat
war representative from that town was
elected by one vote. When the general as
sembly met a few weeks afterward a democratic
war United States Senator was chosen on
joint ballot by one majority. In 1912 the dec
laration of war with England was carried In the
United States Senate by one vote. Gen. jack
son was nominated a major general and con-
firmed by one vote January 8, 1915. He CO m

THE CRONIN TRIAL.


States Attorney Longenecker spoke for two
hours in his opening address at the Cronin trial
yesterday. There was no attempt at oratory.
He confined himself to plain, succinct state
ment Of the evidence he had collected and
would present to the jury. He showed how
the Clan-na-Gael had been diverted from it's
clean-handed purpose to aid Ireland to the
adoption of the dynamite policy, and how DR..
Cronin had by opposing enraged the advocates
of violence. The whole conspiracy was out
lined, showing how the inner circle voted
Cronin's death, how Coughlin drove off with
the doctor, how he entered the Carlson cottage,
how Burke and Kunze were seen there, and how
the bloody foot prints the bloody key and the
abandoned trunk were found :.
When Judge Longenecker sat down the law
yers for the defense arose and announced that
they would postpone their replies until the end
Of the trial
The work of examining witnesses was then
begun, the examination for the state being
conducted by Mr.. Tugham and that of the de-
tense by MIR. Forrest. The prosecution at once
set out to prove the corpus deficit, it having
been asserted that the defense would contend
that the body dragged from the catch basin
had not been satisfactorily identified as that of
DIR. Cronin.

by the front teeth, Maurice Morris by the Ag-
nus Die and Joseph O.Byrne by the broken
finger of the right hand.
James E. Roland, cashier in a coal dealers
office and an associate of Dr. Cronin in various
secret societies, also gave testimony as to the
identity OF the body. Lawyer Forrest for the
defense elected from Boland, on cross exami-

lief, Cronins Office was situated that a view

ing on Clark street but being in the rear Of the
building and facing on an alley.
During Judge Longenecker's attack on the
Clan-na-Gael triangle Mr.. Forrest objected a
second time to his statements inadmissible
in advance of proof, whereupon Judge Nc
Connell said that he did not know what would
be proved, but warned the states attorney that
he was making these statements at his peril
Judge Longenecker replied that he would prove
what he had said. and he accepted the respon-

Didn't Like a Gospel Sermon.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
There Is a familiar story about how Daniel
Webster, when he was practicing law in New
Hampshire, loftily denounced quotation from
o text book made by a rival attorney as absurd
and untenable, upon which the opposing lawyer
quietly explained that the passage SO con-
temptuously treated had been introduced into
the volume from one of Lord Mansfields de-
eisions, that great jurists exact language being
preserved: The following anecdote about a
famous old Character in Whitley county, Ky., has
much the same flavor. Joshua Barnett was
wag and religious orator and possessed a
prodiglous memory. The Jelico Ne,cs tells the
story:
Uncle Josh, as he was generally called. had
an appointment to preach one Sunday at an
out-of-the-way log school house in his neigh
porhood, and two noted lights of rival denom-
inaton attended the meeting for the purpose
VI ctlucising the sermon One was named
Jones, the other Warman. Uncle Josh who il
appears, was aware OF their intentions. con-
GUIDED 70 checkmate them, and instead of
preaching sermon he commenced repeating
from memory, and without any comment what
ever, one OF the epistles of St. Paul For nearly
an hour chapter after chapter fell from his Iips
accompanied by grave and decorous gestures
ana intonation. Brother Jones at the end of
some thirty minutes arose with grave disap-
Provai written all over his face and retired
from the house and took seat in the ward
upon barkless and PROSTATE tree, which was
used as horse block. Brother warman stood
u some ten minutes longer, when he, too arose
ana joined Brother Jones Well. brother
Warman, what do you think Of such sermou?
said Brother Jones. Think said Brother
Warman, why, think IL the good Lord will
forgive me this time for listening to such rot
ten doctrine, Will never be guilty again."

UNDER THE NORTH STAR.
The International Tourists Are In the
Twin Cities.

The international American excursion train
rolled into the St. Paul railroad station at 10 80
yesterday morning. At Red Wing, about forty
miles from st. Paul, the local reception COM
mittee boarded the train. The excursionists
showed the liveliest interest in the character of
the country through which their train was run
ming. For miles they skirted the clear waters
OF the upper Mississippi, and noted with sur
prise how complete was the change in a few
short hours from the prairie country of Illinois
to the stern but picturesque beauty of the
upper Mississippi valley. \
At short distance frombt. Paul the Father
OF Waters was crossed for the first time, and in
few minutes the party alghted at the
station. They were placed in carriages and
conveyed to the site for the Young Mems
Christian association building 1t was ex-
pected that Delegate Studebaker would Law the
cornerstone of this structure, but letter from
him was read regretting his inability to attend
the ceremony. Ex-senator s. j. r. Mcmillan
delivered an address.
Signor Paraza of Venezuela spoke for the
South and Central American delegates present.
The delegates were next driven to the city hail.
where they were formally welcomed to the city
and state. A welcome address was made by the
chairman OF the reception committee, who
called attention to the presence of the last ter
rltorlal the first state and the present govern
ors, state officials and United States Senators;
OF pioneers in the history of civilization in the
northwest and in the name of all welcomed
the visitors.
After luncheon at the residence of Gov. W. r.
Merriam the delegates were driven around the
city, visiting Summit avenue, one of the finest
drives in the country, and the residence parts
Of the city, as well as taking look at the in
dustries.
In the evening big reception was held at
the Ryan hotel, the banquet having been
