state for nearly 30 years.
Cushman kellogg Davis has q pictur-

history. In appearance he bears q mark

ago Butler and Davis were guests at the
Fifth Avenue hotel In New York, and
by chance were seated nc table facing
each other The other guests in the din
ing room, attracted by their resem-
blance. watched them constantly during
the meal, and finally an old clergyman
who was acquainted with General But
Ter walked over TO the table. and greet
ing the general said that he had never
known before that General Butler had d
son. The incident brought about intro-
lductions and q pleasant talk between the
two politicians.

i'm Henderson, jefferson county, N. r..
His parents went TO Wisconsin In his
infancy and settled ON the tract OF land

More trash and nonsense are written
about typewriter girls by people who
do not understand what good typewrit-
ing II or how TO dictate TO typewriter
than about any other profession or any
other business in which either men or
women are engaged today. The fact OF
the matter Ii that typewriting IL worth
anywhere from $5 week up to $40 or
$40, which issotnetines paid e. u week
" salary to expert typewriters who have
no knowledge Of shorthand.
It is no unusual thing for typewriters
TO earn at folio work from diotation by
stenographers 90 an hour and over, and
the finest experts are, worth every cent
of that amount OF money. Among stenog-
raphers Oh an hour is the ruling rate,
and for that 81 good typewriter with
an expert dictator will transcrfbe from
80 20 40 folios an hour Of testimony.
In some cases even 40 folios an hour Of
solid matter have been dictated. Forty
folios is two columns Of The Sun, and
of the men who write about debating
10 typewriters as though they knew
about 1t there are probably not half
dozen in the country who can dictate 30
much
Many years ago the writer was en-
ployed as shorthand amanuensis by
George Alfred Townsend, well known
90 'sCaath. who habitually dictated 60
him In shorthand two columns an hour
and did It every day in The week two

dicating every full stop, semicolon.
quotation mark and paragraph II
''Gath" dictates to typewriter now
and has one OF the best in the business,
no doubt he can dictate from column
and half TO two columns an hour Of
original matter, and the writer knows
OF no other man who can do that. OF
course there are plenty of incompetents
who pose as typewriters and who bring
the BUSINESS into discredit by their poor
work. For many years the writer has
been thrown in contact with expert
typewriters in his business as an official
stenographer. In view of the many gibes
and sneers in which newspaper writers
indulge ON the subject Of typewriter
operators OF the feminine gender, it is
matter OF simple justice to say that the
women with whom he has been associ-
ated in his business have been without
exception well educated, refined, capa-
BILE of doing rapid and accurate work,
who attended strictly TO business and did
not waste time with frivolous remarks.
Il seems unfair TO judge Of any bust
ness or profession by the weaklings en-
gagged therein, whether the work be
law, medicine, the ministry, shorthand
or typewriting, and any one who cannot
accomplish twice as much debating to
q good typewriter operator as with
pen is unable to do that either because
he does mot know how to dictate or be- |
cause he has an inferior operator. It |

spect by the editor, and the printers |

. coat of pure and hard pitch. The pitch
used ON the modern keg is much superior
to that formerly used 1T is clear, taste
Less and tough. An empty beer keg win
stand great many hard knocks before
the pitch scales off.
The kegs wear out. when they do
wear, externally. They are wet and dry
alternately, and this promotes decay.
Then they get q great deal of unneces-
sary banging around between the time
they leave the brewery and are brought
back again. Everybody, from the driver
and railroad and steamboat hands down
to the barkeepers, seems to think the
kegs are indestructible A whole car
load Of empty kegs is frequently thrown
from the car down TO the ground IA
single empty keg is often thrown l5 feet.
Il really isn't necessary to make the
kegs as heavy, 30 far ais the keeping of
the beer is concerned They began by
being made heavy in the old days. Tho
brewers then deemed it absolutely req
uisite TO make them that way to with
stand the pressure Of the beer The very
fact that they were made heavy and
clumsy subjected them to rough han
ding. Now they have TO be made heavy
and extra material has TO be put into
the heads and slaves simply because OF
this handling and not from any danger
on account of the internal pressure Of
the beer. Chicago Tribune
