He was all that's brave and manly. He
had emulated Stanley and had traversed
wilds where white man ne'cr had set his
foot before. He just gloried in a battle,
for he loved to hear the rattle Of the bull
lets and the sounding Of the cannOn's
deadly roar.
He would fight . hundred people. He
would climb the highest stceple, though
he knew by that rash act he was counting
certain death. he would face a raging
tiger, he would swim the turbid n ger, and
he'd walk up to a cannon s mouth and
never bate his breath.

Junius Henri Browne is q recent arr

Women, " says that it is roughly esti-
mated that more than 2 500. 900 of
women, Independent Of servants, earn
wages in the entire republic. The wage
earners in the metropolis are estimated
to be between 20. 600 and so, 600, exclu-
give Of servants. and these are, as
throughout the state. not only self sup
porting. bat provide support for others.
Almost the universal rule has been
found to be that wherever q man or
woman has demonstrated his or her
ability to take care of himself or her
self others have been most willing to
live On his or her bounty. In no part Of
the world. not in America even, is any
capable, Industrious person allowed to
provide for himself alone. The race of
greedy pensioners is ubiquitous It
would be most calling to masculine
pride if we knew how very many
women in this republic supply by their
own toll the bread that is eaten by able
bodied men,

Boston, F'e0. 15.-Now that paul
Jones" is on the way to New York, the
first lap in his journey around the world,
people are beginning TO guess at his
identity. The most common guess is that
he is e. G. Pfeiffer, well known ere. A
few of his occupations are: Athlete, in
ventor, poet, teacher, hotel keeper, news
paper writer, critic, professional traveller,
amateur prestidigitateur.
He was special student at Harvard in
1887. and was chosen captain in February,
before the race. He invented an attach
ment TO a fountain pen and spent quite a
long time trying to perfect it, but finally
gave it up. He issued volume of poems
while at Harvard, which was not particu-
larly noticeable for quality, but was dedi-
Gated to his friends, many of whom be-
ginn ng with President Eliot, he men
toned by name.
Pfeifer shows his athletic training. He
is good deal over feet, has 45-inch
chest and a splendid physique generally.
His manners are such as to win conf
dence anywhere. He will be warmly well
coined when he gets around the world
