AN OHIO OLD MAID.
A Brave Little Woman who Took
up the burden of Her
Family.

when l hear the unthinking ones
sneer at old maids" remarked Pitts
burgh physician, II think of a little
woman who il still living in Ohio. She
IL an old mRid,' but she is one from
choice. Her father and grandfather
were farmers. And none Of them
amounted 10 much at that When this
woman got old enough she set herself
about 10 make something out OF the
family. She saw other families rise to
wealth and afiluence about her, aud she
believed that there was enough latent
talent In her family for the same thing
II an effort was made TO bring II to life.
She got a school to teach, and "a her
father did not need tho wages she
earned she laid the money aside, and
In time lent her eldest brother to col
lege.
He was several years younger than
she. She tried her hand at matchmak-
ing, and succeeded In marrying her sis
ter to a young doctor who was looked
upon as a man who would win. And he
u1d WIN. Hes one or the leading phy-
sicians In that part OF Ohio now. Then
abe took up the next brother and sent
him to school. Meanwhile she had sue
ceeded In arousing her father and all
OF the family TO greater efforts, and
they began TO prosper. The third
brother followed the second TO college,
and the fourth and youngest sister in
turn. She continued to teach school,
and she devoted nearly all of her earn
ings to the rest Of the family.
1.-THE farm was sold advantageously
and the family moved to the city, where
there were more opportunities. Tn,
eldest daughter continued to pusl
them forward. The eldest brother Il
now a Judge of one Of the law courts o.
his native county, two Of his brotherl
are doctors with good practice, tn,
youngest son is a clergyman who haI
charge Of q lnrge and wealthy congre
CATION, and the youngest sister mar
, ried a wealthy manufacturer. The oil
folks are still living, and they havI
money enough and to spare TO keel
them in luxury for the rest OF thei
days. The eldest daughters work /
done, She Is no longer young. She
an old maid,' and the fact does no
seem to worry her."--Pittsburgh News

most OF them don't know the differ
enee between registering and voting,
and so / had to have them all meet at
one place and take the 30 down In a
job lot on both days. They really be-
hAyed with a great deal of dignity. But
as / was saying, one afternoon / rang
the bell at a little frame house on
Bowen avenue. A man came TO the
door, and ! explained my errand.
"'Now, do you really think that this
voting is going to do women any good?
he asked.
Yes / said, and / propounded the
argument that l judged would appea.
to him most No, he was not i'm.
pressed. Then l tried another and an
other argument, with no better result
Finally l remarked; IF women were
to vote and get interested in important
affairs they'd think more and talk less.

Frightening visibly.
"'Yes. I'm sure Of IT, He Jumped VI
and ran TO the door.

Washington, Nov. 2S-The presi-
dents closest friends have not heard
from him a single expression as to the
vice presidential nomination next year.
So long as Vice President Hobart lived,
the president never discussed the ques-
ton Of succession on the ticket, even
when it became plain that some one
else must be chosen. In the sense that
the president has manifested any de-
sire, 1t a be said that the secre-
tary Of war, Mr.. Root, is the admins
tration candidate for the vice prssi-
Dental nomination.
