HARD TIMES FOR THE GIRLS
They Must Now Make Up Their Minds
Between a Husband and a
Position.
HARD TIMES FOR THE GIRLS

When lady schooI-teacher of San Fran
cisco makes up her mind to take to her
heart husband, her resignation from the
department is compulsory. The rule was
formally adopted at the latest session of
the Board of Education and is now in full
force and effect. The unmarried ladies
now teaching in the public schools are
much more numerous than the wives and
widows, and this news is likely to take
them by surprise.
Still they must make up their minds
that it will be impossible under the pres
ent administration, at least, to enjoy SIM
ultaneously the luxury of a husband and a
position in the department. This, in the
opinion of the school sages, would be de-
cidedly 'too much of a good thing"
So the only course for the fascinating
young schoolma ans who are matrimoni-
ally inclined will be to grin and bear it.
Later on, when lot of new directors have
been elected. there may be a change and
the unpopular rule may be rescinded.
Until that time the handsome and accom-
plished young teachers must wait or marry
men with lots of money. Then they
would probably be wiling to leave the de-
partment any way and make room for
some of their younger and less fortunate
sisters.
1--WE enacted or rather re-enacted this
marriage rule" said Director c. A. Muir
dock, "for poitic reasons. 1t was adopted
by an almost unanimous vote, although
think at Directors Clinton and Hender-
son are against il. Director Comte, who,
as you know, is a lawyer, advised us that
if ever taken into the courts it would, in
all proba bility, be declared 10 be unconsti-
tutIonai, still he voted for it.
"You see we already have a sufficient
mum ber of married teachers in the depart
ment to see to the minds and morals of
the primary children, and their positions
are not, of course. disturbed by this new
rule. l do dot know that its adoption Will
make any appreciable difference in the
mum ber of vacancies occurring from time
to time. AS general thing, when a
young girl in the department marries she
resigns voluntarily, but recently teachers
have been inte ermarrying TO rather alarm
ing extent, and we concluded that it was
about time to enforce this rule. 1t re-
mains to be seen what will be the result"
Some years ago this rule, making the
resignation of lady teachers compulsory
upon their marriage, was originally intro
duced by a Democratic Board of Educa-
ton for the express purpose of crea ting
followers of the directors. Many secret
marriages and more or less scandal ensued
and the Objectionable rule was subse-
ouently rescinded. Even at that time the
| legality of it was seriously doubted, but
| for obvious reasons no teacher has ever yet
! taken an appeal to the courts.

A choked sewer on California street
caused the destruction of considerable
material in the paintshop of Henry F.
Wagner, at 635 California street, during
Sunday night. When Mr.. Wagner arrived
at his shop yesterday morning to resume
work he found his material floating about
on pond of dirty water. First he was
puzzled to ascertain the cause of the sub
mersion, but an investigation soon con-
vinced him that the trouble originated in
a defective sewer.
Pumps were called into requisition and
men went to work repairing the damaged
waste conductor. In the meantime the
painter was busy separating oil from water

THE PARTING HOUR

Not yet, dear love, not yet; the sun Is high:
You said last night, "At sunset will 60"
Come to the garden, where, when blossoms
die,
No word is spoken: 1t is better so.
All! bitter word, Farewell"
Hark! how the birds sing sunny songs Of
spring!
Soon they will build, and work will silence
them
So we grow less light-hearted as years
bring
Lies grave esponsibilities-and then
The bitter word, Farewell
The yiolets fret to fragrance meath your
Heavens gold sunlight dreams aslant
No flower for me! Your mouth is far more
sweet.
Oh, let my lips forget, while lingering
there.
Loves bitter word, Farewell"
Sunset already! Have we sat so long?
The parting hour, and so much left un-
said!
The garden has grown silent-void of song.
Our. sorrow shakes us with sudden
dread
All! bitter word, Farewell"

Morton is not his name, but it will
serve to conceal his identity. In years
gone by he played baseball, rowed and
gained more than local distinction as an
all-round athlete. He has heavy shoul-
ders, big, strong hands an1 an elasticity
of movement that can only be had on the
shady side of life when a man has not
neglected his physical education. In
addition to this he is a man of the world
who would laugh at the smooth conf
dence worker and make quick work Of
the willy bunco steerer. But who can
predict when there is a woman in the
case?
He went to the house of his old friend
and met the pretty sister in-laW. She
was exuberant with animal spirits and
wanted to learn to ride a wheel. He was
not only willing, but anxious, to coach
her For about an hour on one of the
hottest nights that has been visited upon
Detroit in century he ran up and down
the street, steadying the bicycle and
trying to encourage the handsome anna
teur. Her sister was there urging cau-
tion and pleading with the rider not to
take such dangerous chances With per-
spiration and eXertion came maledic-
tions. He thought the wheel possessed
because it rushed at every post and tree.
He mentally condemned her as one of
the most awkward woman now on the
footstool. Tfsere was profanity in his
mutterings and an ugly CLINT in his eve.

They had discovered a number OF fer

The San Francisco Chronicle OBJ
serves: Mrs. Cralgie, the novelist,
known as John Oliver Hobbes," has
some sensible ideas on the folly os
American girls marrying Englishmen
or other foreigners. Whatever may
be the virtues of the foreigner, his
training has been SO radically differ
ent from that of an American that
there can be no sympathy between
him and his American wife. The
American girl has been bred to expect
Difference from men in private as we'll
as in public. Too often she expects
more than she should, for the tenden-
cy of the American father is TO spoil
his daughters by over-indulgenee. In
England the method is to teach girls
that their brothers are superior, and
that obedience is the cardinal virtue
in women. Instead of being waited
upon by her husband the American
girl who marrieU an Englishman dis
covers when too late that she is ex-
pected to cater to the tastes of her
husband and to render him personal
service whenever he sees fit to demand
it. She gets no Difference, and scanty
respect. This may seem a small mat
ter, but it has been the cause of much

Somebody has unearthed q book
written by Bartholomew Anglicus,
about 1860, OF whi,h one of the most
amusing chapters is on the children
OF his day. OF these he writes ''They
dread no perils more than beating
with rod, and they love an apple
more than gold, and make more sor-
row and woe for the loss of an apple
than for the loss of heritage. They
desire all that they see, and pray and
ask with voice and with hand. They
keep no counsel, but they tell all that
they hear and see. Suddenly they
laugh, and suddenly they weep. Al
ways they cry and iangle and iape;
that unless they be still while they
sleep. When they be washed of filth
anon they defle themselves again.
When their mother washeth and
combeth them, they kick and sprawl
and put with feet and with hands, and
Withstand with all their might" All
of which makes it appear that those
1860 boys were the same then as now.

American Big Game for England.

Colonel William Root, OF Laramie,
Wyoming, recently received an order
from the representatives of some
wealthy British sportsmen owning big
preserves in the Scottish Highlands
for a number of elk, deer and moose,
to be shipped to Scotland for restock-
ing the preserves. He has in former
years secured aud sent over several
similar consignment OF big game to
Great Britain and the Continent. The
deer, he says, stand the long journey
well, but elk and moose seem more
delicate, have to receive the greatest
care and the most carefully selected
food, and after all frequently die on
the ocean trip. He will hunt in the
northern part of Wyoming, where elk
and moose still abound, for the ami
mails to fill this order. It is much
harder task, as may we'll be imagined,
to secure these animals alive and in
good condition than simply to stalk
and shoot hem.-New York Sun.

SMILES.

Smile little, smile n little,
As you go along,
Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wrong.
Care delights TO see you frowning
Loves to hear you sigh;
Turn a smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will fly.
Smile little, smile little.
All along the road;
Every life must have its burden.
Every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darRncss,
With your grief to sup?
AS you drink Fate's bitter tonic,
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
Whom you pass and meets
Frowns are thorns, and smiles are bios.

Do not make the way seem harder
By sullen face,
Smile little, smile a little,
Brighten up the place.
Smile upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
Der his task, waits wealth or glory;
He who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile little, smile q little,
Even through your tears.
