Can II be douss @s
Can g girl who receives % week live ~
she should liyof She doubtless can live
as she 10 Obliged to live. We will say that
q young lady II without relatives In this
city and II dependent upon what she
earns for Q livelihood, and she earns t6 per
week. She does not care for any girl
companions and prefers TO hoe her own
row In true Independent American style.
She pays 01.6o for room, p for board and
80 cents for washing. That leaves her
with a for dressing herself and for Incl
dsntals Of car 1ays, etc. Now how do girls
who do not evsrAge IS week, and have
no "iiving ct homo" privileges get along
Doas any body carsf
II they stand up behind counter all
day and are tired enough to drop at the
end Of the days toll does any one interest
themselves In their welfaref All honor
to the working girls who struggle for
pittanco ana then contribute that to the
support Of others, - h the case In many
instances. BY doing their own washing
and utilizing the conveniences OF the oil
stove two girls who recsive IS . week
each oan live very comfortably.
So i am informed by those who have
practical every day experiences.
The man who kicks.
You have met him. Nothing suits him
and he can In his mind regulate every
thing from the town clock to the domestic
difficulties of his next door neighbor.
Laughter II painful to him and company
which seems cougsnial no does not seem
TO have any use for. At baseball game
he gets into unnecessary arguments, and
II the weather b not to his liking you
hear from him. When Q public man dies
he tells how mean he Ii. He has mental
dyspepsia and his clothes don't fit him.
Kick, kick, kick, from morning until
night. He gets up kicking, kicks ell day
and goes to bed kicking.
The chances are that when he comes to
die he will kick because he can not have
something to say st his own funeral.
VIII Edison ruin himselff Those who
are close to the great inventor have been
concerned lately about his investment
In mine out West which has made men
of vast wealth comparatively poor. The
mine Is rich with ore and metal but there
seems no way to get ct 1t. was talking
with Mr.. Holland, one Of the famous Hol-
land brothers who are intimately ac-
quainted with the wizard of Menlo Park,
In regard to this rumor. Mr.. Holland and
his brother are the gentlemen who ex-
hibit Mr.. Edison's inventions with such
success throughout the country. The
kinetoscope which Mr.. Holland IL now
exhibiting at $50 Westminster street, by
the way, II considered one Of the best of
the many wonderful inventions.
To my query regarding Edison,
Mr.. Holland replied: "Here is sonnet hing
which never was In print before. Mr..
Edison is destined 10 surprise himself.
To my certain knowledge no has invested
80 far In perfecting his plans for the work
ing the great Ogden mine, OF which he
has become possessed Of, the sum OF
81 ,75O, 900. Pretty big figure. He told me
that he had spent that amount, and what
he was ready to demonstrate was the
milling of iron and the separating of the
various metals oil by electrical processes
of his own invention. He can take
boulders of iron and crush them
like egg shells, and by sys-
tenn of magnets separate the differ
ent ores. He told me that with
Q working force of less than 200 men he
could mine 800 tons of iron an hour"
No wonder thought that people come
to see the Edison kinetoscope and con-
template it with such pleasure. There
are nine subjects now including" Carmen
cita," /" Tho Dancing Girls" Man and
Dog Wrestling" and another don't call
to mind now.
These are the times when merchants
want money and the shrewd buyer is TAX
ing advantage Of the opportunities offered.
Did you notice I did not say bargain?
The word bargain has been so many times
misapplied that do not like to use it.
was talking with Mr.. BaIlou yesterday
afternoon. noticed that he had placed
long, well printed signs over the front of
his we'll stocked store SO i just
stepped In to ses what was going on.
1t seems that he has purchased at ri
diculously low figure fine line of pocket
books and leather travelling bags and he is
going to make run on them. He will
also include in this special clearance sale
Japanese goods which are the fad now in
cluding cup, saucers and trays. His reg
ular stock of crockery and silverware has
also been marked at quick selling prices.

Do you know what stickpin isl
Ialways thought that pin, q common,
every day pin would come under the head
OF stickpin until was informed different.
In the window Of Baliou's store, to which
just now referred to, which is at 292 and
29s Westminster, on the corner Of Mathew
son, you will see the stickpins. They are
long pins used by ladies for scaris, hats
and the like, they always sold for 25 cents
but o run has been started on them for
dime, sime end pin remember, not dia-
moud pin. No fire, no assignee, no bank
rupt sale is this of Mr.. Ballou's, but simply
a midsummer offer to shrewd buyers who
know good thing whom they see it.
One has to be pretty vigilant nowadays
to escape reading anything about the
viRilant.
