cold, which settled on her lungs; she was
treated for a month by her family ply
%sician, but grew worse. He told her she
was a hopeless victim of consumption and
that no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested DIR. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption; she bought a
bottle and to her delight found herself
benefited from the first dose. She continued
its use and alter taking ten bottles, found

women. wages and Their Eating.

And now they are trying to make out
that the cause of low wages among
woman workers is that they eat les,
than men and are content to go on eat
ing less. If they ate more their wages
would be raised. Is not the inverse
proposition the more probable? If their
wages were raised would they not eat
more? The real reason of the injustice
constantly met with by self supporting
women lies deeper than that. Indeed
there is no one reason for it. But the
women themselves have the matter
largely in their own hands. Let them
assert themselves as a class rather than
as individuals and see how quickly their
condition will improve.
The accusation that women are natu-
raj snobs is scarcely just; their snobbery
is a matter of education. People have
so long confused the terms, equal and
Identical, and the young woman
has for so many generations been
impressed with her duty to "make
n lady of herself that it is not surpris-
ing that women are slow about boldly
and bravely declaring themselves work
ers. Most of them are not ashamed to
work, but they object to being classed.
They expect that inevitable man to come
along and rescue them from lives of toll.
They regard their work as merely tenn
porary. Suppose they do marry and
marry well. Some other woman steps
into the vacant position and she suffers
in the low wages paid her because the
other m and the other women were
too selfish or too Indifferent to help her
to demand more.
There are about 1900, 900 women
workers in the United States. In New
York city alone there are zoo, 900. OF
these less than 5000 belong to labor or
CARNATIONS. OF the 1000 an overwhelm-
ing majority are foreign born. The
Typewriters and Stenographers' union is
exclusively American, but it is very
small. The presumption is that the
majority of typewriters would prefer to
good wages the possibility of captivating
their employers. r. l.. G.

Why the WABASH is the most desirable
route for all points east.
First, you can purchase through tickets
for all Eastern points and any cupon
ticket office in the West. over this line,
taking you choice of routes to the Mis-
souri, river.
Second, you can go either by the way
of Omaha or Kansas City at your pleas
ure.
Third. from either OF these points you
can have your choice of FIVE distinct
routes, as follows:
Via the HANNIBAL AIR LINE,
which is the short line to the East.
Via ST. LOUIS, where close connec-
ton is made with all Eastern and South
eastern routes.
Via CHICAGO, the worlds fair city.
sometimes called the windy city"
Via Toledo, Ohio's great inland city,
connecting at that place with the Lake
Shore fast trains for the East
Via DETROIT, Michigan prettiest
and most beautiful city, where Eastern
lines onnec closely.
All of the above named points are
reached DICECT only by the WABASH
aud direct BY NO OTHER LINE
running from the West.
Ask for your tickets by the way Of this
line and accept of them by no other.

fact. Write me for rates, maps. etc.

Sir Willoughby looked as only such a

had the impudence to do anything more
than adore him. He murmured some
thing about miss Budd being so witty

Since the day in 1857 when she played a
first old woman" part at the theater in
Cleveland she has given some of the most
remarkable performances of characters in
that line known in the history Of the stage.
In 1859 she joined Augustin Days stock
company, and has continued a member of
that organization, with an interruption of
the three years from 1877 to 1880, up to the
present time. Her reputation as an actress
OF phenomenal art and delicacy is only
equaled by her fame among people of the
stage as a good woman with a heart
that's wondrous kind"

was no longer the pretty girl in her cotton
frock, and with her hair in long thick
braids coming from out her broadbrim
hat. oh, dear, no; she still climbed the
rocks, but it was in the evening under
the escort of a young man who belonged
to our set, and who rather liked taking

to talk"
Pretty Rose was still romantic enough
to stand there on the rocks and look at
the moon and wonder. It's true that
she still went to gay picnics in cotton
gowns, but then they were cotton gowns
that Worth had made, and it was known
to be very bad form to wear anything
but cotton when one was young and
ones position in society assured.
1t is true that she still rode out early
in the morning, but it was because her
English cousin did it, because she rode
so well, and because her habit fitted her
so perfectly. From a social standpoint
Rose was being educated. She spoke
one evening to a pleasant woman who
happened to be near her in a crowd, and
her mother said: Never, never, Rose,
let me see you speak to that woman
again. She was idiot enough to abso-
