1t Is to the Theories and Controversies
About woman's Place.

1t Is to the Theories and Controversies
About Woman's Place.
While learned discussion has been
going on concernin the legitimate
duties of women-what they can and
can not do-they, themselves, are quiet
ly finding out their own strength and
endowment. and are making the most
of them. They are doing this, too, in
accordance with the best ideals of
womanhood, without sacrificing their
womanliness and without lessening
those qualities that best At them for
wifehood and motherhood. For It is q
striking fact that few of the women
who have departed from the beaten
path are unmarried The large majority
have husband and children whose needs
frequently have forced them to make
the most OF their energy and knowledge
Some time ago the writer was sitting
on the piazza of q cottage at a northern
summer resort A woman drove up aud
halted. She sat on the front seat of q
stout spring wagon and behind her
were capacious bags and baskets filled
with plums and apples She climbed
out of the vehicle. giving the reins to q
boy who sat beside her. and spoke re-
assuring word or two to the fat, restless
pony. He seems gentle enough" she
remarked but he's got proper spirit,
and it sometimes takes strength to hold
him"
Then she asked III we were likely to
have any books or magazines that we
h didn't care TO take home with MA The
winters were long there, and they had
to stay in the house good deal, and
books were a real blessing"
She was promised an assortment Of
light literature, and this opened her
heart
She was a large, cheerful person,
with broad shoulders, a round, rosy
face, but she said that she suffered a
good deal with rheumatism in her hand
1--WE lived here nearly thirty years, -
she said, land you can imagine what q
wilderness It was thirty years ago. We
had a pretty hard time to get along.
He was sick great deal, and good
deal of the time had to feed him with
a spoon He worked at his trade when
he could-it was cooperin'-but main
ly had to support the family"
In that wilderness, at that remote
period, there were no schools to teach
and few children TO attend them IL
there had been; there were no people 70
board and none for whom she might
have sewed. She was uneduceted, so
she could not have written, and was
thus excluded from all the ordinary
avocations open to women A little
curiosity as to the way in which she
managed to earn money WAS human

and pzrdonable, and she wa. ..,,.s
what she did II cut and srl;, -
wood, she said, as if it were the most
ordinary and natural pursuit in which
woman could engage.
Cut and split eordwood?s her ones
toner repeated in establishment. ana
then asked how she ever accomplished
such feat.
"WeIl, would pick out smallish trees
and cut them down and then split them
into the right length. He told me TO
hire somebody" she explained, with
that loyalty which most women show
in defending the most unsatisfactory
husband from implications of neglect.
You see, !" she explained, after vlndi'
eating ''him,n that the men were all
busy cutting wood to pay the taxes on
their own land and couldn't spare any
time to help me. l just had it TO do OF
/ know'd we'd starve. Once | froze my
hands and feet terribly. 1t was way
below zero, and worked all day. When
] came in at night and put my hands in
water the ice cal1ed over EN- in min
ute. was laid up good while, but
got over it" And she smiled hopefully,
as if it were a trouble past and done
with.
She was congratulated on her change
of fortunes, for she said that her young
orchard was now bearing, and she sold
all the fruit she could haul to town
But he's gettin' dissatisfied and wants
to move west, she said, NOW that the
railroads just come through and our
lands worth somethin,"
1t would have been impossible not to
warn her against his bad advice, and
to remind her thu as the railroad
brought more people aud extended in
dustries into the country, The farm
would continue to increase in value
that nothing would be gained by
change, and that, inevitably, much
would be lost
She listened and acquiesced bat it is
quite probable that if he" urges it. she
will follow him to some other new coun-
try and continue to feed him with a
spoon and cut cordwood to support him
in his old age when the children are
fledged and gone
This interesting experience proves
two things: First, that, however out of
the ordinary or seemingly impossible it
may be, the average woman will set
herself at work upon the duty that lies
nearest, whether that be cutting cord
wood or peddling apples. For
the cheerful and heroic soul was
just the average woman, nothing more
She had good hard sense, devotion to
those whom she loved and for whom
she made herself willing sacrifice
and these are the attributes of the av-
erage woman as we see her every day,
1t proves, in the second place, that
unusual work does not lessen woman's
obedience to Ibis" wishes, however inn
practical, and that her nature is not
inherently changed by any of the vicis-
STUDIES of her daily life, whatever they
may be. This, however. will not en-
tighten those who are the blindest of
the blind, in that they will not see. The
learned dissertations upon the limita-
tions of sex will continue, just as if they
were not daily and hourly disproved by
actual fRct-Inter Ocean.

between Main street and Pear alley, for the

SUCCESSFUL INDUSTRY.


- wv" 'io iuE ny uue OF tue Hat and
Cap Fact0ries
One of the home industries which is worthy
of attention is that owned by the schuylkil
Hat and Cap Manufacturing Company. This
plant has gradually extended its trade until
now it gives employment to forty-four men
and girls, turns out two hundred dozen
hats and caps daily, and pays one
thousand dollars per month to the operatives
The industry is comparatively new one,
yet the goods It places on the market have
met with so much favor with the general
public that the output is behind the demand.
The company now has many more orders on
hand than it can fill and finds that the plant
is too small for the amount of business it has
gaiued The management says that it is
handicapped at present in meeting the rush of
orders because larger building, or site
for one, cannot be secured. Mr.. l. Lauter.
stein has just returned from trip through
the New England states, where he booked a
large number of orders for the new company S
goods and Max Levitt one Of the statesmen,
returned to town on Friday night from an
extended tour through the Western states,
where he was equally successful in the COM
pany's interests.
