To BE n Good Neighbor.

To be a really good neighbor demands
the possession of many. excellent quail
ities-tact, temper, discernment and
consideration for other peoples feel
ings; and, if we possess all, or some of
these qualities, innumerable and never
ending are the benefits we may confer
on each other, and great deal of pleas
ure will be the result. But, because we
are neighbors, we need not necessarily
be close friends. We may be friendly
enough to enjoy the pleasure of doing
them little kindnesses and receiving the
same in return. Being kindly to all by
no means implies that our house is to
be open from morning till night to Wis
itors. The typically good-natured per-
son, who is at every ones beck and call,
is likely to be greatly imposed upon
and to please no one really; one must
be able to say No" and to decline be-
ing made use of by everyone.--N. Y.

A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT.
Miss Mary ii. Krout's Remarkable Success
In the Newspaper World.

in the Newspaper World.
Mrs. Antoinette Van Hoosen Wake
man, of the Illinois Press association,
said at the Woman's council
SIN no line is woman less trammeled
than in newspaper work. A notable
illustration of this occurred in connec-
ton with Miss Mary H. Krout, of the
Chicago Inter Ocean, during the cam
paign that resulted in the election of
President Harrison, At that time she
was on the reportorial force of the pa
per- However, the managing editor
had discovered that she was not only
able and reliable, but was possessed of
better knowledge of Indiana politics
and politicians than any member of the
staff. After consulting with her. it was
decided that she should conduct the
campaign for the Inter Ocean in Indi-
ana. Miss Krout is by no means a
strong woman, but for one hundred
and eight consecutive days she sent
from one to two columns of matter each
day to her paper. Besides this, she sent
numerous kilograms and private letters
from which the editorial policy of the
paper was shaped.
"The longest telegram sent by Miss
Krout was a speech of Gen. Lew Wal
lace of between two and three columns.
1t was delivered at Whitlock, Ind, ten
miles from railway station. Her
Judgment was that it was great
speech, and she FASTENED in a carriage
to the nearest telegraph office and sent
it to her paper. The result confirmed
her Judgment, for the edition of the
Inter Ocean containing the speech was
soon exhausted, and to meet the demand
thirty thousand copies were printed
and sent to Indianapolis by special
train. The papers of indianapolis
were obliged to copy it from the Inter
Ocean, and it was used as campaign
document.
1.-THE day of the election Miss Krout
sent all the specials for the Office bull
letins, and worked without leaving her
desk from nine clock one morning until
two o'clock the next, making seventeen
hours of consecutive work. She says
in speaking of it, that she was the soil
tary woman at the Press headquarters,
but was not reminded of the fact, save
by the special courtesy of the state Of
ficials. When Miss Krout returned she
was made one of the editors of the In
ter Ocean, which position she still holds.
No more arduous and brilliant piece OF
newspaper work has been done by any
woman in America than this"

Women sDetectiyes.

An old detective announces as the re-
suit of long experience that women
possess qualifications that fit them
specially for detective work. Men as
rule are not as close observers, and
do not give what l call detective de-
scriptions of people. l remember try
ing to catch woman counterfeiter
once who had been described to me by
several men. | found half a dozen
women who would answer to her de-
scription. Finally woman who had
seen her gave me description with
one strong detective point-the way she
did up her hair-and on that descrip-
ton l very soos arrested the right WON
an. Women have peculiar observation
in details, and are sure to notice and re-
member some small but definite point
that men would overlook. Itisn't pleas
ant work for woman, but she has de-
tective instincts"

A Busy, Noble Life.

Mrs. Aletha Coffin, of Hadley, Ind,
is pioneer of that state, whose ninety
three years are full of honor. Left
widow sixty-three years ago in North
Carolina with three small children to
support, she managed by hard labor
and economy to save a hundred dollars
in six years. Leaving her children, she
rode on horseback to Hendricks county,
Ind, distance of seven hundred and
fifty miles, through a sparsely settled
country, and across mountain ranges.
She selected eighty acres, and then
rode to the land Office at Charlottesville,
nearly thirty miles distant, and entered
her land with her hundred dollars
After resting few days she returned
for her children She gave them an I'M
usually good education for that day,
earning the means by tending her farm
with her own hands. The land makes
her pleasant home in her old age, and
is the only piece of real estate in the
county that has never changed hands
Mrs. Coffin was for many years matron
of Guilford college, N. c., and later
held the same position in Earlham col
lege at Richmond, Ind. She has filed
many important positions in the work
of her church and locality. She is well
informed, and her memory remains
good. Woman's Column.

In W0MAN'S BEHALF.
A WOMAN OF THE WORLD.

What Is Meant by This Unusual Term
the Commendable Traits She Possesses.
A woman said to man the other day,
"Mrs White is woman of the world to
her finger tips" and the man said,
"Thank goodness, she is. wish we
had few more like her"
And then he added: do you know
anything of the virtues of woman of
the world-that is, the true woman OF
the world? She is the woman who
makes life perfectly smooth and de-
lightful She does not say disagree
able things She makes her likes felt
and her dislilSes are so well concealed
that her enemies are ignorant when
they get blow as to where it comes
from. Don't imagine by this that ]
mean that she is the woman who does
the cat act, and is given to smiling and
grinning at everybody. Oh, no, she has
too much sense for that She has the
art of making people appear at their
best, and she knows how to be agree
able alike to old and young. Her hus-
band respects her; her children love
her; her servants fear her, and conse-
quently they obey her orders. If she finds
it necessary to mark either man or
woman as detrimental she can usual
ly give reason for it, as she does not
go out of her way to make enemies
''She would not forgive bad manners
in genius, for she very properly con-
cludes that genius has no more right
to be bad hammered than more ordi-
nary man. She regrets that genius and
gentleman are not always synonymous,
but until they are she doesn't desire the
acquaintance of the genius She is an
earnest believer in the bond of mar
rage, and thinks it quite as unnecessa-
ry to uphold it a. it is to refuse to dis
cuss scandals in regard to failure in
it. She does not ask that she shall have
love, but she does insist that she shall
have respect, She is not one of the
women who make their husbands I'M
happy, for she is not inquisitive. She
ignores many things because it is not
good form for her to see them, covering
in this way with a mantle of charity
the half-concealed offenses of her
friends.
''The man married to woman of the
world has much happier life than does
the one married to the ingenue; she is
disappointed because he isn't her ideal,
and he is made wretched because of the
tears and means that pervade the
household. If had son | should pre-
fer he would marry woman of the
world-remember, / am using the
phrase in its best and truest sense, and
had / to choose a husband for my
daughter it should be a man who had
known other women, who had seen
their faults and their virtues, and who
knew how to take a young and innocent
girl by the hand and lead her carefully
and considerably into the state of mat
rimony until she herself became the
monarch thereof" And the woman to
whom this little sermon was preached
began to think that after all there were
different kinds of women of the world.

up and came toward him eagerly. He

"a REAL LADY,"
Qualifications Necessary to Produce the
Genuine Article.


We hear the phrase so often, and how
hard it is to define its exact meaning.
We all know the lady when we meet
her. and yet her charm is as indscrib-
able as the scent of rose or the tints
of the sunset sky. 1t might be said to
lie in her utter lack of positiveness and
best painted in negatives. She is not
obtrusive in appearance or dress; she
does not claim your attention by any
effort to attract it, nor does she seem
conscious of your admiration if you
evince it. She is never known to speak
harshly, maliciously or loudly to supe-
rior, equal or inferior. She does not
laugh at anything that could by any
possibility wound another, nor seek to
introduce into the conversation any
topic she has reason to think may prove
disagreeable or embarrassing, but
rather closes her eyes to whatever her
keen tact tells her you desire to remain
unnoticed. In her judgments she does
not seek to impress you with her in
fallibleness, but is quick to add the
saving clause She does not envy or
scorn another's possessions, and wonld
not point out the crumbled rose leaf for
the world. She makes no boast of any
thing, but does not decry herself in any

MISTAKEN HUSBANDS.
why Is II They Get the Idea That Their
wives Have Little to DO?


wives Have Little to DO?
Many a husband, perfect in almost
every other quality, lacks one thing:
the virtue of consideration for the wom-
an of his home. How often have l
heard men say to their wives: "You
have nothing to do all day. You at
tend to that" Now, women are far
buster in their homes than many a man
imagines or perhaps knows. To con-
duct a well-regulated home requires as
much time and as much skill as to con-
duct a well-regulated business. For a
woman to get good service out of the
help in the home is just as great an art
as it is for the man to draw forth the
best in his clerks. Just as many knot
ty questions come up in the home for
decision as come up in the office. :
table is often as great battlefield as
the desk. We men are great factors in
the worlds progress and history, but
we do not constitute the entire crea-
ton. All the burdens of this earth
were not put on our shoulders. God
put few on the shoulders of women,
too Whenever you think, my dear sir
that you are carrying all the worries
and troubles of this world, just stay
home a day and watch the domestic
machinery at work. 1t will be quite a
revelation to you. You will find that
your wife has not half so much time to
herself as you supposed; and the next
time when you think she has more time
to do a thing which properly falls to
you, you will be better able to judge
whether she is capable of doing it in
addition to her other duties. Ladies'
