The woman writer is a great trial to

about the details Of the gowns his
heroines wear in the pictures if they
only have the general effect that is de-
sired and the women themselves look
as pretty as his pen picture has made
them. But it is not SO with the woman
writer, says the New York Times.
Good gracious!" says q man who
illustrated a number Of stories for a
popular woman writer, Il did not know
but the work would send me to The
insane asylum or that I should have to
go as dressmalier's apprentice before
could complete it. That woman want
ed every fold Of the gown to hang just
so. She was particular about the tie
OF the bow her women wore al the neck
and she would have the hair dressed in
just such style. Thought knew before
that an artists education needed to BE

many things not mentioned in works
Of art, but it looked to me for time
as if the only thing for me was to be
born again and to be born a wearer Of

Michigan forests, are not here any

OF lumber schooners makes Chicago as
they did. Well? One reason is that the
Michigan forests are getting PLAYED OUT

MALTREATED STORE CLERKS,
Ahey Are Subjected to Great Injustice
by ThouEhtless Women

The reputation which some large

directly back TO the shoppers them
selves, writes Edward Box in ladies.

perfection for the clerks who stand be-
hind the counters of our great stores
where women shop. They are ONLY
common mortals, full of faults Eur,
considering what they are called upon
to go through and endure al the hands
of thoughtless women, the constant
wonder is that they are so civil and
obliging If the truth could be known
II would be found that they suffer far
more than they infict suffering. If the
roll could be called Of Woodworking,
innocent girls who have lost their posi-
tons because Of ill-foundcd complaints
made by ''in1iuential'' customers whose
accounts the firm could not afford to
lose, it would be a roll Of disgrace to
American shoppers. The girls behind
the counter are Unconstitutional from
the actions of some women we might
believe otherwise-human in their
faults, but also in their finer feelings.
Very often they represent better fam
lilies, better breeding, than that which
is revealed to them from the ether SIDE

cub cried for its mother. She came, ana
the hunter acted quickly Placing the
cub between his knees, he took up his

evidently seen firearms, for she halted
at respectable distance The man
squeezed the cub with his knees until

away her caution and dashed on unit! :,

er went home with his prize, and after
claiming the cub in the barn, rot th..
old bears skin and tanned it iii a rough!

BY the side of his sisters bed. One
night about week later, when the
young woman was about to retire for

A FAITHFUL HORSE.
An Instance OF Remarkable Devo-
ton and Animal
Courage.

Instances of the self-devotion of ami
mails in the service of their masters are
not uncommon, but they generally have
to do with some sudden, instructive
deed Of courage. Passive faithfulness
unto death, among beasts as among
men, is the rarest form of self-sacrifice
The story of the horse Of certain ser
geant in the northwest illustrates the
courage Of animals in its noblest form.
Sergt. Parker, member of the Cana
dian mounted police, waited day or
two after the departure of his men, in
order to receive some government dis
patches, of which he was to be the
bearer. It was winter on the prairie,
and every trail was hidden beneath the
snow, but as soon as he secured the pa
pers, he pushed on alone, hoping to re
join his company by forced march
By nightfall he had lost all sense of d.
rection, and when he resumed his jour
ney next day he felt that his search was
hopeless.
Still the dispatches were important.
and he had been trusted with them.
For six days he wandered about, starry
ing and frost bitten. Then snow-bind-
ness came upon him, and he lay down
to die.
His faithful horse did not desert him,
but stood like sentinel at his masters
feet. For day and q night it STOOD
there, and on the morning of the sec
ond day of its watch a mail-carrier saw
the motionless figure. He approached
and discovered Sergeant Parker
1t was nearly a fortnight before the
rescued sergeant regained conscious
ness. His first question was after his
horse. The emaciated beast was
brought into the tent where its master
lay, and at once began to lick his face
Two days later the horse was dead.
