A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.

There are indications of a business re-
vival in many directions and reason to
hope that the hard times'' to which We
nave been subjected through our nnan-
cial troubles have reached a turning
point.
The stock market is feeling stronger.
and the brokers see signs OF the extern
sion of their operations beyond a pro-
fessional business. The surplus reserve
of the banks has increased. and the sur
p.us money will soon seek employment.
The bono issue will be subscribed for be-
yond its amount. There are signs OF n
movement in commercial paper. and a
more confident feeling is evident In all
money dealings.
The building department. OF this city
finds an increase OF activity In plans for
improvements, and the architects pre-
dict quite a movement In building with
the coming Spring. The dry goods trade
Is anticipating renewed activity, owing
In a great measure to the light pur-
ChaSes for some time past and the re-
duCtipn Of stock all over the country.
OF course. there Is still much want OF
employment and considerable suffering
among the poor everywhere. But every
day adds to the opportunities for la,
Dor, and the broad charity of all classes
has done much to relieve actual want.
It IL no fancy picture that represents

Too Many Mechanics.

To the Editor:
with all due respects to Kitty" I must ray
that she is talking through her hat" Excuse
tho slang, but that expresses 1t. She says why
don't our American gentlemen learn a trade, be-
come mechanics Of some kind or other, Doe,
kitty know that the average mechanic does
not get nH much as go per week In fact, there
are thousands Of good mechanics, men who have
served an apprenticeship at their trade, who are
working for less and are glad to get It. Why is
this thusly' Simply because there are more work
crs than there Is work for. and the women who
occupy mems places are largely responsible for
this condition. When one of the sexes ceases TO
become producers, the one that IL left in the
field will. on account Of the demand for labor,
be able to earn %sufhclent to keep the whole family.
As we can't stop the women from producing. let
us men quit work and become disciples OF Tramp
ism and 'Mortism:'' they are men who do no
work and must be gentlemen. according to
"kttty's' standard. A MECHANIC.

The Oid-Time Corset.

Corsets are not more than 600 years
old. Before the Christian era women
OF fashion bandaged the figure with
strips of linen. About the eleventh
century the power of fashion began TO
be felt and extravagant dress and tight
%bandaging increased. In the fourteenth
century ladies painted, wore patches.

THAT KANSAS X

too c~yclonic In their estimates OF the two
gladiators. Neither OF the scientific BIZ

crs are obliged to work, and what Is the

A Kansas farm OF 10000 acres would
be a white elephant on any plug ugly's

what could one expect a chap, whose

fists are more or less active for the rest
Of the time, to do with six or seven
square miles OF refractory soil?
1t may be suggested hat they could

Mitchell can sell n Kansas farm just

they can in giving limitations OF prize

thousand grasshopper chascrs will meet
any man living on the outskirts OF the
state and escort him in triumph all over

hope that he EAR convert a Kansas farm

Corbett and Mitchell had better not
touch that lo,O0O-acrc farm. 1t would
mean either work or worry to the win

Sensible handkerchief.

Sensible women have been earning new
claim to that adjective lately by select
ing hemstitched initial handkerchiefs in
preference to the one-time fashionable
fimsy cobweb. Apropos of this. 1t
might be remarked that 1t Is always in
rather questionable taste to tuck a hand
kerchief under the bodice. even with the
excuse of a pocketless gown. and the
daintiest and rarest lace-trimmed hand
kerchief protruding from the bosom of
the waist is too suggestive to be sane
toned by good taste. A handkerchief
of fair size. Of fine but firm linen, is
truly disable. n will go through the
face-mopping Of a shopping expedition
without being reduced to the %stringiness

Shoes.

Shoes for children should be selected
with more regard for comfort h ser
vice. A good fit does not imply large
ness. There should be an excess Of SOLE
leather in length. but sufficient u
ness in the quarters to prevent slipping.
The toes need and must have room. but
by having the heel, ankle n arch
snugly dressed the foot gets support
and power to resist fatigue. Athletes
insist on these points in starting for q
