MIGHT HAVE SAID "OH."
An Incident Showing the Human Need OF
Sympathy.

An Incid ent Showing the Human Need OF
sympathy.
A certain small boy was aggrieved by
the indifference with which his busy
father received the news of his bruised
finger, and in childish fashion expressed
his indignation. The fathers tardy ex-
cuse that he could have done nothing
to help the matter was met by the
crushing reply: "You might have said,
'Ohr" The little fellow neither sought
nor expected material aid, but he did
want sympathy, and his reproachful
answer holds the essence of volumes.
1t ought to be so easy to say the little
word for which our neighbor longs, to
utter the bright ejaculation, or to be-
stow the loving glance for which an
others heart is wearying, but we too
often forget the duty of saying "Ohr'
and keep our pity for the dark days of
afiliction, our tenderness for the great
events of life. OF all negatively disa-
greeable qualities Indifference is the
most trying, for the victim of its cool
disregard is not only hurt by it, but
furthermore is made to realize his own
nothingness in way which not even
true humility accepts willingly Our
own trials and pleasures are so inter-
esting to ourselves that we can not
quite understand why they are of such
small consequence to others, and then
we make the fatal mistake of letting
them obscure our perception of what
we in our turn owe. There are, it is
true, many selfish, self-indulgent ma
lures to which the blessings of giving
is quite unknown, but which demand
an inordinate share of attention. We
all know them, and after awhile we
avoid paying the heavy taxes which in
tercourse with such people so heavily
imposes. But it is not Of them and their
boundless egotism that we are speaking,
but of our obligations to the dear every
day and all-day friends whom we love,
but whom we sometimes forget to cher
ish We must not be too busy to say
"Oh" when little pleasures or little
trials come. for If we can not help in
any other way, our readiness to feel
with them is welcome and appreciated.

WORK OF THE eulLLoTlNE.
Execution of Women During the Reign OF
Terror.

Terror.
The first capital sentence on wom-
an was passed on April IL, 1903. Cath
crime Clcre, n domestic servant at
Valenciennes fifty-tive years of age,
was found drunk at night in the streets
of that town, shouting "Vive le Roi"
and singing revolutionary songs.
Probably it was case of in vino veri-
tas, albiet her master assured the
tribunal that during five months in his
service she had shown no anti-repub-
lican sentiments; and there was no
evidence of her having meddled in poll
tics. Next day two members of the
convention, Mortified at the inflic-
tion of death for so light an offense,
urged respite; but the convention de-
clined to interfere, and it is said that
even while the brief discussion was GO
ing on the guillotine did its work
Two months later three Breton wom-
EN-, aged twenty-four, twenty-five and
twenty-seven, implicated with twenty
men in royalist plot, detected by the
digging up Of papers in garden, suf-
fered the same penalty. A few weeks
more and it was the turn of Charlotte
Corday.

come accustomed to the equality of

mentioned that the acquittals, which at

JOURNALISTIC PROFESSION.
Some Suggestions for Young Ladies Wh'
Wish to Enter This Field.

Some Suggestions for Young Ladies Who
Wish to Enter This Field.
1t is a safe statement to say that
there are at least hundred women
employed in newspaper work to-day
where there was one twenty years ago.
In fact, many of us can remember
when the sight of a woman gathering
news for paper or reporting lecture
or concert was unusual enough to at
tract considerable attention and re-
mark, and the women who held salar-
led positions as regular correspondents
of the great newspapers were few in
number, and were usually those who
had attained fame as writers. Now
there is hardly any newspaper of stand
ing and prominence which does not en-
ploy some women either as writers on
special TOPICS news reporters, or salGr-
led correspondents Those who have
proved their ability command higher
salaries than women can earn in almost
any other branch of work This fact
causes such positions to be much sought
for, and many young women have
mistaken idea that journalism is an
easy road to fame and delightful pro-
fession through which to crafty their
ambition and earn money without hard
work. The truth is Qeaving out of con-
sideration brilliant special gifts of ex-
ceptional genius) that there is no work
that requires longer or harder or more
rigid apprenticeship before one can at
tain success.
Young women frequently ask what
are the chief requirements for girl
who wishes to enter upon newspaper
work. AS preliminary, she should
know how to spell correctly punctuate
properly and paragraph with good
taste. She should be familiar with the
meanings and correct uses of English
words, and the more wide and general
inform alton she possesses the better
will be her chances for success. If she
is lacking in these necessary points she
is not fit to take the first step in Jour-
nalism. Learn to write and spell and
use the English language tersely and
correctly before thinking of anything
else.
One Of the first requisites for a
woman who expects to do systematic
work is good health. The girl who is
subject to sick headaches or Mysteries
or who can not control her nerves and
temper mad better not undertake news
paper worl; She must be able to en-
dure the routine Of regular work with
out much interruption and, if emer.
gency arises, to make extra effort and
work longer hours without thinking oI
i'll feelings or fatigue. There is moth,
ing in business life more inexorablc
than the hour of ''press time" and if on
employe who is trusted to do certain
part of the work is unable to fill the
requirement some busy fellow-workel
must do double duty and supply the
lack. A few such failures during q
critical press of work would stamp one
with inefficiency or unfltness for the
place. One must be so interested ii

A MEAN PRIDE.
It Belongs to the Girl who Wishes to
Work Secretly.

It Belongs to the Girl who Wishes to
Work Secretly.
1t is a mean pride which q great
many girls have to-day-the pride that
says to itself, should like some pocket
money, and perhaps can earn it with
out anybody knowing. Without any
body knowing you are doing the work.
What is there to be ashamed of in doing
work? Only bad work is to be made
secret of, only bad work is to be hidden
as if it were sin, but, unfortunately,
the bad work is told of far and wide
and spoken Of as the way women work.
II is a mean kind of pride that makes a
girl write to me and say: Cant you tell
me some work that l can do at home
that nobody need see, and through
which can gain some extra money!" /
don't believe that girl knows how mean
it is. If she has home and father
who is happy in caring for her she has
no right to that work. 1t belongs to
some woman who has to earn her bread
and butter by the labor of her hands,
and not to the one to whom it is an
amusement for little while. BY it
she wants to gain little money; nine
times out of ten she is not very particu.
lar in her way Of doing it, and so she
makes the work of other women of less
value. That is where meanness comes
in. l don't believe there is single
girl in all the world who would like to
be called mean. would rather be
called thief. But uncon sciously they
do so many mean things. This being
ashamed of the work and doing itpoor.
ly taking away from other women
who need it sadly, are mean things to
do. And don't don't, my dear girl,
permit yourself to be guilty of mean
things. Ruth Ashmore, in Ladies'
Home journal.

WOMEN AS MoNEY-sAvERs.

WOMeN AS MONE Er-SAVEho.
They Generally Make Closer Economists
Than tho Men.
The TACT that women are economical
and money-savers is difficult to impress
upon the minds of men rs class The
methods adopted by women are sensi-
BILE and practical, sometimes ludicrous,
and often pathetic, according to the
position in which they are placed in re-
gard to the amounts which fall to their
lots to dispose of. There are few
Hetty Greens, and it is more whole
some for the race that her class is an
overwhelming minority. Money-savers
of her kind are detriment and not
benefit One who denies herself even
the common decencies, not to mention
the necessaries of life, is not good
example for others. Whenever n wom-
an is allowed n certain sum or earns n
regular amount with which all ex-
penses must be met then she is better
able to appreciate relative values and
she will soon accustom herself to the
best methods for procuring the most
and best for her money. AS class,
women are more saving than men ever
think of being.
The wife of one of the most promi-
nent politicians this state has ever pro-
duced was the financier of the family
and but for her ambition and faith in
his abilities he would probably never
have been known beyond the confines
of his own county. Her farsightedness
in real estate purchases, which were
exceedingly small at first made for
them modest competency which gave
him opportunities in furthering his
political career All the household
labor was performed by her own hands
and the sale of dairy products gave
them their first start One plan was to
buy lot in a respectable quarter and
place several houses upon it The
houses were not built there. The wife,
passing through the streets, would find
houses for sale cheap if they were
moved from the place. These were
bought and placed on the lot mentioned,
the cost being much less than like
structure when new. Fresh paper
within and a coat of paint made them
desirable to rent, and little by little the
fortune has accumulated.
The officers of the building and loan
associations have found thousands of
women stockholders Young women,
fred with an mbition to own property

ing weekly into the association hun
dreds of dollars. Many of them have
to practice the most rigid economy in or
der to meet their obligations The
comparative newness of women in bus
mess life and their natural sensitive
consciences make them prompt, and
dealers in real estate have found them,
as rule, desirable purchasers. In an
organization recently started the plan
is the same as that of savings bank

and after the deposits amount to fifty
dollars interest is paid to the depositor.
Among the persons who have dealings

OUT OF DESPAIR.

rho twilight OF the passing winters day
The world has donned the monlsish cowl OF
gray
And shut out love, and bade hope go away.
Between my window and the rolling sea
The marshes stretch--a desolate, gray waste
Of broken reeds. The chill east wind blows
free
Until tho still reeds rattle like doad bones;
But underneath II oil In minor tones
The murmur OF weary plant Is traced.
The driving wind-wings bear at times wall,
AS of ruined soul which tends assail;
Again sobbing issues from the reeds
The choking outcry OF soul that bleods,
Finding Mt last blessed, sweet relief
In the outpouring OF bitter grief.
But, listening, each changing, 1tful mood
Doth bear the thought Of underlying good.
And in the sullen gray of winters passing
day
My heart grows glad again;
For by the Grace Divine our lives are tuned so
fine
That bitterness and pain
In harmony are strung with hope and love,
Which, answering, will lift the soul above.
The cares OF carth the submits we may gain
Are only vanquished by the strength OF pain;
Tho sweet perfection Of the springs bright
birth
q won but by the travail OF the earth.
