A Montana Woman's work.

Banning, Mont, is the residence of
one of the most capable and successful
business women in the west, where to
win the medal of excellence is not easy.
owing to the great numbers of women
who have made marked success In I'M
familiar lines of work. When in Octo-
Der of last year Capt. Fraser Banning
died he left an extensive estate, con-
sisting of hundreds of acres of hay and
grain, orchards and vineyards and a
large hotel. His wife, quiet and mod
est little woman, is now carrying on
the business entirely by herself, spend
ing days in the saddle from six in the
morning until seven at night without
dismounting, except for lunch, oversee
ing the Indian laborers who do the
work of the vast estate, and, half an
hour later, changing her habit for an
evening gown, she entertains her guests
in the hotel parlors through the even
ing as gracefully as if life for her
meant only the ordering and wearing
of Paris gowns and bonnets.-C Chicago

SUGGESTIONS FOR BEGINNERS.
Some Points That May Be of Interest to
Young Lady Stenographers.


Young Lady Stenographers.
NY office is situated in a sunny nook
in the reading-room of one of the most
prominent hotels in Michigan, right
down among the 'lords of creation" l
nave occupied the same office for two
years, and have found the gentlemen
who frequent the hotel uniformly
courteous but stenographer's life has
its difficulties, and feel that my expe-
rience may be of use to others who may
be about to go and do likewise.
In the first place do not expect more
than you are willing to give, and you
will never be disappointed You will
no doubt be nervous at the outset-this
seems to be the fate Of all stenographers
but the next thing is to rid yourself of
that bugbear. The only way l have
ever found to do that is to forget self
entirely and think only of the dictator,
or the work in hand. 1t is, / think, the
hardest lesson stenographer has to
learn.
Then, too, never by any means sacri-
fee accuracy for mere speed. Speed
will come in good time. When a man
comes to you 10 request You to take his
dictation, do not hurry and thus do
yourself and your dictator an injury,
but quickly There is a great difference
in quickly and "hurriedly'D get to-
gether your note book and pen or pen
ell as the case may be, and then signify
your readiness to begin. If you find
your customer is talking too fast, kind
y but firmly request him to talk a little
slower; thus you will be able to tran
scribe 4 clean accurate copy. Most gem
tlernen will thank you for thus init
mating your desire to do good and ac-
curate work.
Another thing you viii find Of great
benefit: try to do little more than you
promise. Make all your own correc-
tons. A man. as a rule, does not care
how he makes a correction. and l have
known some men to IA malicious
pleasure in initiating g Cd copy. Do
not allow him the chance 70 correct.
