THE St Louis iGlobeDemocrat says:
If silver advances even two or three
cents a year the gap between it and
gold may soon be bridged. Gold pro-
duction is growing so rapidly that that
metal may decline in price. An ad-
vance in silver and a decline in gold, if
kept up long enough, would solve the
silver problem.

San Francisco. being q progressive
town. boasts Of a woman deputy sherin.
She is Miss May Simpson, and 1t Is saio
that she manages the duties OF hef
unique position with great skill. She
is a young woman, and she says she
has never seen anything of which she
was afraid. The dark. ghosts. bur
glars. drunken people and the insane
have no terrors for her. Horses. dogs,
mice and even the fercer animals that
men themselves have no longing to
fondle, are nothing to her.
Miss Simpsons work consists mainly
in escorting women who have been
adjudged insane to their asylums. She
has theory Of her own as to how in
sane people should be treated. and her
ideas have stood successfully the time
test. She believes 10 kindness, COM
bined with firmness and absolute fear
lessness.
The salary connected with the some
what difficult position is in no sense
large 1t is like the pondmaster's
wages-no dogs, no pay. The woman
deputy is paid by the piece-two dollars
and fifty cents for every trip. IT no
women are committed there is no pay,
and the deputy goes home and awaits
the next session of court The most she
has ever made was forty dollars in one
month, and sometimes there are as few
as six cases in a month-that is, fifteen
dollars. 1t isn't exactly n priucely in
come for taking ones life in ones hands
every day or so.
There is nothing about the woman
deputy to attract attention, except the
novelty of her position. She is young
considerably under twenty-five =:
dresses in dark, stylish clothes. is unob-
trusive in her manners, and has a pref
ty face, with dark curly hair. gray eyes
and a brilliant complexion that tells
of long hours of dreamless sleep, un-
troubled by the faintest suspicion of
scenes of the Jane Eyre type.
The men about the sheriff's Office

They don't try to do her work for her.
