A Trip to Southern California.

Beginning October 22d, a daily tourist car will be run from Chicago to the Pacific Coast, via THE GREAT ROCK Is- LAND ROUTE; Chicago to Kansas City. thence through the beautiful Indian Territory, via Ft Worth and Ell Paso, Texas, to Los Angeles and San Francis co. This car will leave Chicago daily on train Mo- l I at 6 p. m., and passen- gers taking this route will not only re- ceive the benefit of very superior accom- modations, but also will save a great many hours in time. The new Southern route is particularly desirable in fall and winter season, and the we'll known reputation of the ROCK ISLAND insures passengers comfortable trip. Our patrons are always provided for in the best manner possible, and these cars will be in charge of Pullman conduc- tor as well as porter, and everything pertaining to the comfort of our patrons will be carefully looked after and a pleasant trip guaranteed.
 Adding this DAILY car to the "Rock Island Service" does not in any manner affect the present Phillips Rock Island Tourist Excursions that run semi weekly from Chicago over the ROCK ISLAND to Pueblo, and via the Scenic and Ogden routes to San Francisco and Los Angeles without change.

No Complaint to Make.

Mrs. Pete Amsterdam of Harlem is one of the most philanthropic ladies on Man. haitian island. She is always hunting up distressed people in order to comfort them, and it often happens that her kind atten- tions are not properly appreciated.
 Not long since she visited an unfortunate woman who lived in a dilapidated shanty on the rocks near One Hundred and Six teenth street. The woman's head was tied up, and her eye was blackened, and she had one arm in a sling.
 .'I hear," said Mrs Pete Amsterdam, that your brutal husband beats you, and have called to see if we can not have him punished"
 You are mistaken, madam; my husband never beats me. We have lived together 15 years, and he has never beaten me yet, ' and the woman adjusted her arm in the sling.
 '.I am 30 glad to hear that I am mis taken" replied the female philanthropist
 No" continued the woman sadly, put ting the bandage over the eye, .he has nev CT struck me a blow yet. He has kicked me in dozen different places 70 different times; he has taken me by my two ears and bumped my head on the floor or or the corner f the mantelpiece; he has poured hot water down my back, pulled out my hair by the handful, and he has stuck pini in me; he feeds his dog in my new Sunday bonnet, but he has never yet beat me. and until he does don't think ought to com plain"

One Woman Has Her Say.

The lords of creation are so convinced of their competence to manage all sorts and conditions of affairs that 1t is often a surprise to them that their woman kind resent their intervention in matters domestic. The average husband feels confident that if he but had his way the children would be we'll disciplined, the servants obedient, the household bills reduced by half and the whole estab- lishment worked with clocklike regular ity. If, however, he is allowed to put his theories into practice, the result is a general confusion and irritation, which lasts until the house mother again gath CTS up the reins of power, dismisses her ill advised assistant to the more appro- priate employment of his business or his sport.
 The reasons for the failure of mascu- line interference are not difficult to dis cover. A mans mind is quite unftted for the ever varying minuti@ of house. keeping. He cannot understand that the routine of an office or barracks is inn possible in family chiefly composed of women, and that the only way to secure domestic peace is not to attempt rigid discipline, but to exercise tact and for bearance, adapting general rules to par ticular cases.-New York Commercial Advertiser.
