Always Tired
Just as Clumsy.

The Philadelphia Record thinks there
is nothing like little nerve, combined
with a pleasing address and assurance,
to make a winning move in the world.
In proof it relates that during a recent
pleasant afternoon handsome looking,
wel-dressed man started for a stroll up
Chestnut street. When opposite the en-
trance TO the Continental hotel the
stroller met a party of friends and one
of them playfully caught one end of his
faultlessy adjusted necktie and pulled
the knot loose Then came a tug of war;
fer no one in the party could make the
knot again. After a great many attempts
the stroller brushed his trends aside and
stepped up to pleasant looking girl
who was looking into jewelers. window.
A few words were spoken, and, with a
bright smile, the young woman deity
retied the knot, remarking with a bright
smile: "Oh. you are entirely welcome.
I've got big brothers of my own. They
are just as clumsy as you"

Summer Outing.

Americans who live in cities feel in
duty bound to go away on a SUNNI er
vacation each year, but oftentimes the
money for the trip is extremely hard to
secure. There are, however, always OPP
portunities for the wideawake young
person. Says the Boston Herald So
cial lubrcators' are the latest addition
to the bread-winning sisterhood A So
cial lubricator is given her board and
living by the summer hotel people, where
she devises amusement for the other
wise dull company. Another move!
means of earning summer living is
standing in with the bicycle makers,
who give a good rider a wheel, which
she uses to advantage in lessons to the
summer boarders at a popular resort A
clever little actor is said to liquidate her
board bill by arranging charades and
thea tricals and nobody will begrudge her
this hard-earned summer outing"

Deserves Sympathy.

The man who deserves sympathy these
days is the baseball umpire. Doing the
best he can and endeavoring to make an
honest livelihood, he is yet everybody's
enemy and nobody's friend, despised and
ScOrned, while his companions on the
field are hOnored and exalted to the rank
of heroes. Here is the way the Quincy
Qll) Herald speaks of the poor am re:
There is a jibbering skate in Rock
ford, with polka dot for a head, who
has been temporarily elevated to the
emouments and throne of a baseball
umpire, but it is an undisturbed physical
fact that he cannot tell a strike from "a
lockout. Sometimes the home plate looks
to him the size of cheese sandwich, but
when the Rockford pitcher is in the box

ager of the red-legged runts of Rockford
succeeded in placing this obstacle to
human progress in the Office of umpire
and then hattered himself that he owned
his picturesque carcass. And so indeed
it seems he does. He has been making
Christmas gifts of every point in the
game to Rockford, and yesterday he
handed the victory to sawed-off Nicol ON
glass dish with parsley trimmings. 1t
was a brutal revival Of the creed and
practice of Dick Turpin. The honor and
virtue of the national game was raw
ished, plucked and made a theme of idle
jest. Corruption and conspiracy stalk
through the Western association like q
hired man through a brewery. The

The Emancipation of Labor by Machinery
 One of the interesting proofs of the frightening of toil by the aid of ma chinery is found in the constantly en. larging sphere Of labor being opened to self-supporting women, and the prediction is here made that within the next quarter of a century the rank of the mechanic will be largely augmented by women.
 Statistics show that the number of women to whom the sewing ma ehine gives occupation today is vast ly greater than the number who for merly gained precarious livelihood with the needle. or who could ob- tain similar work under old condi- tions.
 Contrast the work-a-day clothes and simply made sunday -go-to- meetin ; garments of the people of q century ago with the wonderful va rietysand complexity of finerys com prising the holiday attire, and, in- deed, the everyday wearing apparel of those of similar class today. Ifitis true, as stated, that one sewing ma chine operated by one woman will do the work of ten hand-sewers, it is no less true that the modern women possesses ten times us many gar ments as her sister ofa former age, and each garment displays ten times as much machine-sewed work uponit.
 But the sewing machine is q mere suggestion. The mind is fairly staggered in contemplation of the wealth of opportunity for wage

earnefs that has been created by the steam cngine-especially in the form of the steamship and locomotive.
 which have literally opened new worlds to the old worlds poor. And what is true of the steam engine ia true only in lesser degree of the tele- graph. the telephone. the electric motor, the turbine and the whole range Of modern agricultural ma chinery.
 The modern bieycle-a theoretically perfect invention, and in most re- spects an almost perfect mechanism has already produced beneficial effects upon thephysical development
 of the wage-earning class sufficiently
 marked to attract general notice, and it's future influence is incalcnlable. It is destined to emancipate woman from many of the conventional shackles which have bound her for ages. and from some physical lisa- bilites which have hitherto limited her sphere of occupations This is only enc Of tie many striking in- stances in which invention is helping to benefit the masses.
 Ian convinced that modern mechan- ical inventions have in all cases proved to be distinctly beneficial to the wage earner. He is through their aid better housed, better fed, better clothed. better educated, has more numerous and better amusements, and is thus approaching m ore nearly the condition of life of the employer; indeed, the wage earner today enjoys many advantages of civilization which were unknown to the em- pIoyer of q generation gone by.
 The majority of employers in this country are men who have risen from the ranks, and many of our most important inventions have been made by wage earners, who have the best opportunity, through experience i'll their daily work, to learn the necessities of the age.--A E.

DO NOT VALUE MONEY.
SAVING INSTINCT NOT DEVELOPED IN
 AMERICAN GIRLS.
Result is False Notion of Living and It's Cost.-Think They Must Start Who're Their Fathers
 Left or

The average American girl has practically no idea of the value of money, says Edward Box in the Ladies Home Journal It is one of the must discouraging signs of the times to see the manner i'll which our young women spend their pocket money. And no other in this wide world keeps so many young men from marrying as the constant proof they see of the lightness in which our girls value money Money is spent upon trifles as if silver and bank notes grew on trees. A dollar has not it's real value in the eyes of one girl out of a hundred. Where the saving instinct exists it is simply employed as ;e means to making possible a larger expenditure in the near future. The result is that our young women get false notions of living and it's cost, and they consider themselves abused i'll many cases when upon marriage they must be content with less than in their fathers home. The popular notion with the young people of today is that they must start off where their father left off Our young men have only truer sense of the value of money because they are compelled to earn it. and where the money comes hard ifs value is better im- pressed. But even among the most moderate classes in this country it is simply amazing to see the extent in which money is speut-not only spent, but wasted, and the absolute disregard to make provisions for "a rainy day which exists. The great trouble is that we have been educated in this country too much to accept luxuries as necessities, and when they are beyond our reach we cavil at fate.
 In European countries all this is different The English, whose silly traits we like to ape so much, but whose good qualities we overlook, are among the most thrifty nations in the world The English working man, as rule,puts aside aportion of his earnings. But when the average American workingman earns q dol- lar he spends q dollar and brides himself on the fact that he can pay his debts. The French workingman does little more than that. He lives so that he can pay his debts and have something over. Nor has he any less comfort. One need only go into the home of a French work ingman to see how comfortable he lives. And there is generally a savings book iii his possession. The result is that as a people the French suffer less from panics than any other people on the globe. Because
