part of Green Bottom are very
anxious to find couple of fellows
who are making life misery to
them. A night or two ago some of
these scoundrels went to the farm
of Henry Eckhart and got couple
of his horses. They put saddles on
them, and wlren Mr.. Eckhart found
them they were up near Apple
Grove, and were in very bad con-
dition. The same people who did
the work evidently broke into the

Caiifornia's Exposition In Golden Gate
Park Opened.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. q. The California
Midwinter International exposition was
formally opened today. Great preparations
had been made for the event, and the fact
that Governor Markham issued a proela-
nation declaring a holiday caused a gen
eral suspension OF business in this city and
in the most important places throughout
the state.
The progress of the work on the 100 acre
tract in Golden Gate park which has been
set apart for the fair has been most re-
markable, and so far as the buildings and
grounds are concerned everything was
practically ready for the opening celebra-
tion
There has been some delay, however, in
getting all exhibits in place, though that
work is now progressing rapidly. and it is
expected that the entire portion will be
complete in a very short time
Today's celebration opened with an inn
posing street parade, which was probably
the largest ever seen in this part of the
country. Itwas composed Of regular troops,
a brigade of the national guard, naval re-
serve, a large number of independent mill
tary companies and representatives from
all the principal civic societies and com
mercial bodies. The decorations were pro-
fuse along the line of march At the Gold

THE great mistake of young girls who
attempt TO find occupation or to enter a
business calling is that they are unpre.
pared A girl must know something of
the business she attempts TO follow OF
she must accept an apprenticeship to
learn. Fitness and qualifications are as
necessary for women AS for men. An ex.
pert woman often commands higher
salary than an expert man. But the
trouble is, there are so few experts
among the women, that they all suffer
from the condemniug reputation of
mediocrity. So few women have
any idea, apparently, that they
could improve their prospects by becom
ing experts In the business they are
engaged In, that the impression prevails.
that they are either Incompetent or not
ambitious This lack Of appreciation Of
the absolute necessity Of knowledge and
skin is more detrimental to woman's
progress than her sex. There is no sex
in skill and knowledge qualities
which command recognition and never
fail to bring advancement Women
have their fortunes in their own hauds.
AS they use their talents, their fortunes
are made or lost
