WHERE is THE GENTLE GIRL ?
Has She Been Displaced by the Aggressive
Young Business WomAnr

Has She Been Displaced by the Aggressive
Young Business Woman?
One hears and reads much about the
gentleman who will keep his seat In q
crowded street car and will not spend
his vacation at the popular summer re-
sorts, but what has become Of the gen.
tie girl? Where are those sweet, shy
creatures who used to wear lawn
dresses and Leghorn hats, who shrank
from anything approaching the con-
spicuous, who spoke low and sweet
who were taught that sarcasm was
rudeness, and that a lady smiled but
never laughed? What has become of
blushing sixteen and all those dainty,
quiet young women who would rather
'be sweet" than smart? Has the gen.
tie girl gone with the "huzzy," the
work-basket and the tatting shuttle?
The business girl is too sharp to be
agreeable. Her motto seems to be to
suspect every body all the time She
has an 1-know-what -you 're-up-to kind
OF manner; she says "How are you?"
when you come into her presence and
looks you straight in the eyes without
the glimner of smile or a trace of EN-.
barrassment. She bosses the Office boy
and charwoman, the services of the
Jan1tor are commanded, not requested,
and life from her point Of view is too
short to be wasted on politeness. The
girls who show the least consideration
for tho seleswomen are the best Gus
toners; they have money but no man.
ners. Perhaps nowhere is the incivility
and rudeness Of our young women more
remarkable than in the street cars, and
1t makes little difference whether the
passengers come from college, families
In good circumstances, boarding.
schools, workshops, or shopping dis
tricts the faces are cross-looking, the
manner is aggressive, the voices are
shrill, the gaze is steady, and the gen.
tie girl is conspicuous by her absence.

OCCASIONALLY a hot headed repub
lican with water on the brain, hobs up
serenely and asks what the pops have
done anyhow. Well the state officers
have saved the state many thousands
of dollars III the way of running ex-
penses and suppression OF fraud. Read
the Dunsmore house journal and see
what they would have done, lad it not
been for the fact that the supreme court
came to the relief of the corporations,
by stealing the lower house.

DON'T forget to paste it in your hat.
and keep it constantly in mind from
now on until election day, that His Ex-
cellency, G. l. Long, the beautiful,
has announced himself as a gold-bug.
Not that his immaculate (?) personal
qualities are as golden in their charac-
ter, or that he actually has enough of
the precious "yaller dirt" TO make an
ordinary June-bug: but that he wants
a chance to get it, oh, so bad! But if
we mistake not the sentiments of the
Big Seventh they have about as much
use for a gold-bug as for an ordinary
bed-bug, anyhow. In fact they strong
ly suspect there is some relation be
tween the two.

TIE republican convention of KiOwa
county passed resolutions condemning
the Signal for denouncing such men as
Harrison, Sherman, Ingalls,, Douglass,
Long, etc, and because it has said that
the republican party is manipulated by
ringsters. There are many other re-
publicans who entertain the same idea
that Billy Bolton does and who will
walk up to the polls and honestly de-
nounce these leaders by defeating them
at the general election; since they have
been denied a hearing through the press
or in the conventions.

selves exceedingly ridiculous by boot
ing at Judge Scott for his outrageous
imprisonment of Editor Rosewater

preme court of Kansas has out
done Judge Scott when it comes to a
show down. Horton robbed a ma
jority of the voters of Kansas of their

A serious fire occurred yesterday
afternoon in the country, by which W
A. Birch, living five miles northeast Of
the city, one of the county's most prom
inent farmers, lost his dwelling house
and nearly all contents. The fire caught
from defective nue, and was first dis
covered about $50 a. m. 1t was, as the
family supposed extinguished, but still
lurked among the timbers and in the
afternoon broke out again, destroying
the building and its contents. The
house was large one and the loss IS
about So 900, partly covered by insur-
ance. The loss is severe one on Mr..
Birch who can i'll afford such blow.
The piano, sofa and a carpet was
practically all that was saved. Insur
ance 80 600.
