WORKING GIRLS AS WIVES.
Women Who Have Earned Their Own
Way the Best Helpneets.

The best and happiest wife in this
and the next generation is and will be
the self-supporting 1t is SO
evident that argument and proof saem
superfluous. From a severely practical
standpoint, a woman who has made her
own living knows the value of money,
has had experience in making it go as
far as possible, has sown all the wild
oats of small extravagances and subse-
quent scrimping that make trouble in
many new homes. A dollar TO her. rep

coaxing words addressed to papa. She
knows what kind of home it is pleasant
to come TO after n firing days work. and
what sort of breakfast is the best founda-
ton for eight honrs' tell.
She has been used for so long to look
after herself that it Is almost heaven
TO have some one ask if she had her
rubbers on this morning. and the trifing
attention will be repaid by a devotion to
socks aud buttons which the masculine
mind will enjoy while it may not en-
tirely understand.
No matter how plucky and successful
she has been, the self-supporting wo-
man has been for years very tired,
mentally and physically, with the
weight Of responsibility she has carried.
If one week has been brought to a close
successfully, in comparative comfort,
with no debt incurred, she can only draw
a very short breath before the next one
commences. 1t may be very selfish,
but isn't it delit ipus to feel that some

the islands takes down a deck load Of
jacks to be worked on the sugar planta-
tons and as ommon carriers.
An able seaman and a mule do not as
a usual thing get along very well to-
gether, and there Is generally kicking
above and below decks when a crew Is
shipped on a vessel upon whose manifest
these stubborn beasts are enumerated in
a bold, round hand.

any more than fresh water agrees with
a sailor" declared a coast seaman Of ex-
perience TO a reporter. AS you are
aware the mule objects to going on
board Of a ship from the very start. and
il usually requires a derrick and half o
dozen men to coerce him. But there ID
one thing very strange in connection
with a mule. I've never known Of q

long as a dcck!oad OF mules were on

ocean voyage.
Naturally enough 4 mule doesn't
know the difference between q sou'west
gale and the trade winds. He Is Just as
liable TO raise a disturbance when the
ship is in a dead calm as he is to remain
az docile as a chunk of pork in u cask
when ali hands are thinking about tax

IF you feed a mule too much at sea
he is apt to get gay. And then it Is that
the for'castle hands begin to growl.
Gathering hoofs and the praying of a
dozen asses do not improve a sailors
temper, and usually the mules have 70

when a ship rides heavily and
plunges it is funny to see the jacks try
to stand with their heads toward the bow
and their tails toward the stern. In this
way they can play candlestick, with the
vessel for a seesaw.
"One time | shipped IN n vessel that
had a load of mules on board. We met
with misfortune on our outbound trip.
There was a young sailor on board
named Morris, who wasn't much of a
seaman One dark night when Morris
was taking a trick at the wheel a mule
got away from the deck corral in some
unaccountable manner, and started of
on a tour of investigation.
morris was watching the bullying
canvas overhead and dreaming Of home.
His thoughts were far away from the
bowling of the wind and the swishing of
waters alongside. Suddenly two long
ears approached, pointing toward his
face, and two blinking, bright eyes
looked into his own. Then from an in
visible source came a sound that would
have walked the dead. Morris dropped
the wheel and went over the rail like q
sinker. We never saw him again.
"The ship preached to and fell into the
trough q the sea. The officer on watch
rushed to the wheel, and when be got
there discovered the mule thal had got
loose looking knowingly inA the bin-
nacle."
