The sheriff of Jefferson county writes
the governor that it is impossible for

Is doomed to extinction like the dodo
The results are disastrous both to men
and to women.
Every observer In cities must see that
nearly all classes of clerical work are
passing rapidly into the hands Of young
women. These young women enter the
oflces with skillful fingers, winning
manners and industrious ways and gem
eral aptness to write letters, keep
books, count cash and discharge the
multitudinous duties attached to busi-
ness life. They do their work salts
factorily and well.
Taken altogether they are neater, bet
ter behaved and quicker than young
men. The result Is that these bright
young fellows. capable Of doing excel
lent work, are forced to toll for long
hours, often at night. for the munfh-
cent salary Of $15 per month. After
two or three years of hard and faith
ful service, promotion to the S25 n
month class is possible, while S35 or
$50 is the outside figure to which n
