How One Woman Manages.

She was a slight, delicate little wom-
an, with a determined, fear nothing look
on her youthful face. Her jacket was
unfastened, her bang tossed back in a
careless manner, and altogether there
was a brisk, breezy look of the ad-
vanced woman about the slim little
body. 'T've been a business woman
for three years." she said decidedly,
land have invariably found men in
every way courteous and polite to me.
The great mistake the independent
woman makes in her relations with
men is in letting them see that she is
independent. Now, when I am with
men am the most helpless, clinging
creature on the footstool, and they are
always lovely to me.
''Men don't like smart, clever women
half so well as gentle, timid creatures
that appeal to their sense of chivalry,
and the Nineteenth century man has as
much of it as medi8val knight if you
only know how to find it. Now, when
I was first married and my husband
asked me if was afraid to stay alone
in the evening, I almost laughed, for I
really thought nothing at all Of going
from Staten Island to Yonkers after
dinner on business; but managed to
keep my face very serious while told
him that was perfect coward, that
the dreadful shivers ran down my back
every time heard little noise when /
was alone
Result: He stays in every evening,
and there isn't a queen on the globe
that has as nice a time as do after the
dinner is over. Don't be too smart is
my advice to women, or, if you can't
help being clever and capable, never
let the man you love know you are able
to pick your own handkerchief up when
you drop it if you want to be treated
like princess royal all your life. New

"Oh, well, but if my mother don't

"Well, ! guess we'll go; but if you'd

PRICE THREE CENTS.



Men have early learned the law of
self preservation. They specialize, They
choose that pursuit and that recreation
which best suit their natures and their
needs. Does not the artist steadily re.
fuse to be a merchant Does not the
broker refuse to paint iioorsl Does the
historian expect to be equally learned
In astronomy2 Does the want of knowl
edge or experience in any business or
study prevent apprceiatve and respect
ing intercourse between men?
Let woman realize, then, that she
cannot compass the universe Let each
woman quickly take account of her
stock in trade, of her mental endow
ments, her capacity and her strength,
and from these let her select what is
best for her to do and to be. What
ever is wisest for her home-that trim
ity of. husband, children and self-is
her better part, which can never be
synonymous with mere pleasure, self
indulgence or stagnation.
Let her then resolutely turn her back
upon all those ambitions foreign to
this purpose, for no thoughtful wo-
man will find her aims too narrow,
even when she has restricted her aims
as much as possible. Let her not
be deceived into spasmodic efforts
in other directions by other women
whose aims are not like hers Let
her not attempt to reach for their
successes, or look upon her own as in
significant or insufficient, for she will

1t is related of M. Lachaud, the most
famous of French criminal lawyers OF
the present century, that in pleading a
certain case he perceived that one of the
jurors seemed to be hostile to him and
his argument. In the faces of all the
other men in the box he saw with his
practiced eyes signs that his oratory
his shrewdness was having its effect, but
this man, in spite of all he could do, re-
manned frowning, suspicious, obdurate.
M. Lachaud kept on with his work, and
presently saw that his opportunity had
come.
1t was hot day, and ray of sunlight
had penetrated crevice of the curtain
and was shining upon the top of the head
of this juryman, who was quite bald.
The lawyer paused in his argument and
addressed himself directly to the court.
'If your honor would please he said,
ito order that the curtain in yon Ter win
dow be lowered trife am sure that
the sixth juryman would appreciate it. y
This sign of watehful attention won the
obstinate juryman's heart and M. Lach-
aud's case.-San Francisco Argonaut.
