It Is Quite = DlHerent Thing to BE m
AmatouF and Then Make ire
ssIf you wish to- cure a girl Of con-
ceit," said q woman who knew what she
was talking about from experience,
"let her try to N her own living.
AS long as she does not ask to be paid,
everybody win praise her works but let
her try to sell her services and then
seelD
The speaker had been reared in lux
ury. she was a bright, accomplished
girl, whose great falling was s~elf-con-
ceit. Her little gifts had been % we'll
cultivated in an a~mateurish way that
she believed herself able to compete
successfully with professionals. She
was always ready to sing a song, or re-
cite a poem, or paint . picture, and as
she was q society girl and had q rich,
prominent father, her little doings
were often f~avorably noticed in the To-
cal papers. Then the change Of for
tune came and she was thrown upon her
own resources without q moments
warning. She had TO earn her own
living or starve- The scales fell-or
were rudely pulled-from her eyes. No
woman can become self-supporting
without some Notifying experiences,
and the more conceited she is the more
Of these experiences she has. because
she attempts things pr-eposterously
beyond her power. III; poor girl who
had held her head SO high was snubbed
and told the truth with brutal frank
ness, and in time learned her lesson.
She went from the extreme Of thinking
she'd do anything to that Of believing
she'd do nothing Of value. and finally
did the one thing she could do well al
the outset, which was to keep house
and then because she had 8 moderats
talent for drawing she learned slowly
and through much circulation the en-
grayer's art. and ten years later earnes

He came out 81 the Polk street rails
way siation His ~o7ercoat was but
toned around his neck, he carried a
valise and on his head was o white hat
with i brond hrin.
Because be wore q white hat the
other passengers were neglected.
The white hat suggested the cattle
man and the "b2nls ROLL perhaps q
miner who had con4s east to indulge
in riotous living.
In some parts Of town the white hat
is as welcome as a rainbow Of promise
or as a blooming oasis would be to
parched travellers in the desert. The
white hat seems to be associated in
memory with liberal payment for cabs,
frequent invitations TO drink anda con-
slant desire to "go against any gam
bling enterprise that can be offered.
Therefore, when the man with the
Bill Cody hat came out ia the sunshine
Of Polk street, two cabmen, the driver
ofanexpresswagon and four other men,
who made a business of welcoming
strangers and showing them the sights,
closed in and began to make friendly
oyertures.
The traveller saw that he was wanted.
so he set his valise on the sidewalk,
between his legs, and remarked, pleas
antly: "WeI, boys. let's have it out
right here
Carriage, sir?" asked a driver with
a crippled nose.
"Mebbe," replied the stranger. Its
about three miles from here to the
Union station, amt it?"
"Well. it's quite a distance"
81 s'pose it ought to be worth foul
dollars to take me t the North side"
.Il do it for three dollars said thu
second cabby.
II can see that you're on the level
said the man with the hat. Then hi
turned to one of the reception commit
tee and asked: "Do you know any sa
loon near here where I could shake dic'
for one dollar q throw?"
II might find you one" replied th'
"roper," in apuzzled way.
"Has the tunnel caved in to-day, kill
in seven or eightpeople?"
"Not that I've heard of" and tn
"roper" gave a suspicious glance at hi
fellow-worker.
"How about thatenew monument OF
the lake front2 Could I get a goo
man to take me down there and shov
it to met"
eThere amt any new monumen
down there" said one Of the cabmer
confdentially.
could / break into a game Of poke
somewhere around here2"
Il don't know, replied the roper
gloomily.
SIS there any gentleman present tina
wants a check cashed2. asked the weai
ern man, e~leyating his voice q little.
No one replied. The men who we
come strangers sided away, and th
cabmen saunfered back to their stand

ger, gathering up his valise, 1--WE pla

Senator Chandler's uttRrances re-
speeding the camrsign methods being
used on behalf Of Mr.. Mckinley come
with peculiar force. The blow thus
struck at the OHIO mans candidacy
IS aimed, not by a democrat but by a
republican, and it is struck straight
from the shoulder. Without attempts
ing to extenuate the abuses which ara
charged. up against him, it is alleged
Nv Senator Chandler that Mr.. McKins
ley's supporters are carrying N their
campaign BY begging money from
the manufacturers of the west and the
cast and everywhere else. to be expend'
ed iii manipulating state conventions
II Mr.. McKinley's advisers r wise
they viii counsel him not to under
estimate the gravity and weight Of
these charges. Had they come from q
democratic source ii would have beer
different. The people might have sci
thern down as the emanation Of par
tisan hatred. But they come from .
republican of long standing and high
political position. They + spoken
with the force Of conviction and with
out qualification. Mr.. Mckinley has
nothing 10 do. if he would save him
self from the effects Of q serious blow
but to come out with q fair statement
defining just what basis Of truth ther.
Is ia Senator Chandler's charges, ant
furnishing eogent proofs to back N
his deniaL-Chicago Record Qnd.).
