THE KNOWING GIRL.
The One Who Knows Everything, ant

The One Who Knows Everything, and
Can Tell You just What to DO.
Ma turaliy it isn't you or your friend; but
you certainly know her, and just as GER
tainly you dislike her. When you dislike
people, there is one thing you should al
ways do, and that is-loOk we'll at their
faults ana make up your mind that you are
not going to fall into them. This girl, VINO
is quite too general To be pleasant, is the
girl who, having learned something yester-
day, knows everything. She makes herself
obnoxious by Haunting recently acquired
knowledge, concluding always that the
people who are quiet are ignorant; she mas
no heSitancy in contradicting anybody
she makes an entire luncheon disaSreeable
by giving her opinion ON the last pronun-
cations, forgetting that custom makes many
things correct Of which the dictionary has
no mention.
She is more than certain as 10 dates; she
can tell you exactly what you ought to do,
and she fails herself to see that she is a
living EXAMPLE of how disagreeable one
person can be. Young men dread her. old
ones have the utmost contempt for her; she
losses her head, says she doesn't care for
the opinion Of men. Well, she is losing
her womanlineSs when she feels that way.
Every girl ought to care for the opinion Of
men. She has her father to look up to, her
brothers to be an inspiration 10, and some
day, please God, she ought TO marry one
and make him happy for life. The girl who
knows everything is seldom cultivated
either in mind or manner; she throws out
her bit of information as a naughty boy
would throw bricks, and the one fired is
always the one just gotten. My dear, don't
get into the habit Of concluding that the
world at large is ignorant. Instead, make
up your mind that II can teach you much !;
intelligence is never lost Even if absolute
information is not given by the intelligent
woman, the look Of cultivation shows in her
eyes. Contradiction and ignorance are the
combination that forms the knowing girl,
and as you love everything good and good
hammered, beware of drifting into being
this type OF girl.-Ladies' Home Journal

WOMEN Physicians, TRIALS
When Launched Suddenly on the Tide of
n Great CITY.

When Launched Suddenly on the Tide of
Great city.
Editor VOmdn'S Column, Morning Call !:
In recent interviews with number of
women physicians located in San Francisco
relative to their advent among us, their i'm
preston of the place as field for their
particular labOrs and the secret of their
ultimate success, the writer was astonished
at how much persistent pluck had been re-
quIred and how much actual suffering
there had been in their first struggles to-
ward a lucrative practice, and how SINH
larry unpleasant had been the personal
experiences of several on their arrival with
established members of their profession of
both sexes.
When launched suddenly on the tide of
this great city. friendless, and with little
else than brave spirit and the pride of
womanhoOd to enable them to keep heads
above water, they found that not college
days and graduation papers, but getting a
start was the hardest part of their career.
In the vcssitudes OF Western life every
one las been liable at times to suffer from
temporary emergencies in money matters
by losses from fire and flood, real estate
transactions and complications arising
from sudden deaths, and to the right
minded the simple fact Of a refined, edu-
Gated woman being without money is no
disgrace, though Enthusiastically inconveni-
ent.
However, by the detailed accounts of
these medical graduates such state of af-
fairs seemed to be differently viewed by the
majority of their brothers and sisters al
ready in the profession here, toward whom
they would naturally look for helping
hand; for, after q gallant struggle for
months with fate, alone in this great city,
reduced at last to the necessity of obtain
ing employment. and being by education
adapted to the care Of the sick, their first
applications naturally we're to physicians,
not for pecunary assistance, but for work
as nurse, Office assistant, companion for an
invalid, hospital inferno. etc.. but in every
instance, the influence desired to obtain
such positions was refused. With the
heroism of The true woman they were WILL
ing to serve even in a mental capacity,
knowing they could elevate labor, and anx-
ious to earn their livelihood in any honest
way while waiting for better days or an ad-
justment of their affairs.
Their reception was chilly and the indif-
ference OF manner pronounced And yet
each OF these We men ny siclanS had eXcep-
tiOnally fine credentials and diplomas from
schools Of standing and would have admi-
rably filled the positions they sought. Ac-
cording to their stories the manner they
were passed on, from one medical man TO
another, aud from one school to the other
would have been laughable if it had not
been such serious matter at the time. In
this wise one states she called on at least
twenty physicians in active practice before
receiving any encouragement, aud that
finally when one had given her a case to
nurse Gu virtue of letter from an outsider
to whom lie was indebted she broke down

A Suggestion From the yice-Prssident of

Susan b. Anthony, Vice-President-at-
large of the National-American Women's
Suffrage Association, has addressed letter
to the women of the United States. in which
she says:
Sixteen States now have school suffrage
for women. Kansas has municipal suffrage.
Wyoming is the first State whose daughters
are politically free. 1t is our hope that
South Dakota will be the second This
year, for the first time, the judiciary Com
mittee Of the United States House of Rep
resentatves has reported in favor of six
teenth amendment, enfranchsng women.
AS these results crown the laborS of many
years, it will be appropriate for the suffrag-
lists of the United States 10 hold meetings
on the coming Fourth of July, for the
double purpose of rejoicing over these vic
tories and helping the Dakota campaign.
Let such meetings be held on the Fourth
wherever it is practicable, aud at every
meeting let collection be taken up for Da-
kota. Hold literary exercises appropriate
to the occasion, and secure good speakers
and fine music. Let the women who be-
iieve in representative government enlist
the men who also believe in it, and to-
gether let them make this Fourth of July
worthy Of a republic.

1--WE have been making heroic efforts for
the past few years to try to understand men
and the ground for their objections to
woman's acknowledgements" says the
Woman's Standard, but here comes Mr..
McAdoo from New Jersey and asserts that
women are too good to vote. Do men then
really believe wickedness an essential
qualification for suffrage? This would ac-
count for their frequent pardoning of crimi-
nails just before election; but then why, in
the name of consistency, should they make
such fuss about the bad woman vote? 1"
