go. Their employees say all right, and
as a consequence, the other clerks are
overworked, and grumble during the
week. The men return covered with
glory, or beaten. Another drill is pro-
posed, and the picked men decide to go
either to win more 1aurelS OF to retrieve
a former defeat. They call on their
employer again, and he says: "All
right, boys; go ahead, but keep going.
Don't come back again."
Police Sergeant LeOnard-During the
cold weather of last winter some of the
tramps in the city resorted to some very
odd tricks to get into places where they
could get warm. One Sunday morning.
Nten it was quite cold, a middle-aged.
EHan of scraggy beard, unkempt hair,
WOe0-0ut boots and Seedy coat and
ga9Std pantaloons. and presenting a
Aost repulsive and dirty appearance,
entered the door of the Immaculate
Conception church quietly, and
took a seat near the rear part
of the room. When the congrega-
ton ton struck up hymn the miserable
tramp Joined in the singing with appar-
emily as good time as any of the choiris-
tiers. 1t was at first supposed that he
had drifted in to hear the Gospel eX-
pounded-and may be he debut after
reclining his head on the seat during
prayer, he fell asleep and slept
soundly during the entire sermon. He
didn't hear any Gospel eXpounded, at
least, and some people were cynical
enough to say that he had entered the
church for no other reason than to get a
snug, warm corner, where he could
sleep for an hour.
Capt. c. B. Tirrell-Of late I have
been suffering from partial OF incipient
paralysis of the right hand, or what is
otherwise known as pen-paralysis, the
result, of course, of constant writing
with that hand. With so little use of
that member am beginning to make
my left hand very useful, and / find
that it is much more important feat
ure than we usually imagine. | think
the habit of cultivating the service of
the left hand should be more general
and taught from early childhood. In
that way the fleXibility would be estab-
lished and the right hand saved from
the great strain upon it.
Detective LaWrence-A few evenings
ago was walking near the West hotel
when L heard woman scream, and saw
Just ahead of me young lady standing
motionless, while there was a man rum
ming up the street as hard as he could
go. The lady told me that the man had
snatched her pocketbook and made off.
attempted pursuit, but the fellow had
too great a start for me to catch him.
This incident reminds ME that, if the
present prevalent custom of ladies car
rying their pocketbooks in their hands
continues, they must expect to be
robbed. 1t is positively crimi-
nal, this habit women have of
holding their pocketbooks in their
hands while going along the street. 1t
is an Invitation to poor men or boys I'M
trained or in need, who see well or lux
| uriously dressed ladies walking with
Well-flled purses so careleSsly hanging
from their wrists or loosely grasped in
their hands.
Miss Gard-In recent years the ques-
ton Of what sort of work woman is best
fitted to perform has been an interest
ing theme for general discussion. And
yet have never seen jim public print a
fact that is patent to all artists who
have had opportunities for personal OBJ
Servation in that line, and that is that
a woman with talent and ability as an
artist eXcels as teacher of art. Es-
pecially is this true in the lighter work,
such as crayoD portraits, and the like.
When strength is needed, it is probable
that man will lead. but when delicacy
is called into reQuisition, the gentler
sex have the call. There are very few
lady teachers of portrait painting, and
the demand for their services is great
Many Minneapolis artists can vouch for
the statement that dozens of pupils
seeking a lady teacher are turned away
disappointed every week in the year.
Here is broad and profitable field for
women.
