sion business. Select a neighborhood
which seems destitute of such IN estab-
lishment, and then hire a front room or
a little office and hang out a sign bearing
the legend, Laundry Work oDne Here
Underneath this put out a little sign
reading Branch Dyeing Establishment -
adding, if possible, the name of some firm
that has a ~well-knOwn reputation.
OF course, your little establishment is
only a COMMISSION one, and your laun-
dry work and dyeing must be sent out
to be done, but you can easily make ar
engagements with some firm who would
gladly do the work for you, and allow
you a very nice commission.
An express agency may be combined
with this, and you must put In a tele-
phone to insur prompt delivery of goods.
Try to have your telephone made into a
regular pay station" and be sure that
you keep on hand a fine stock of postage
stamps to draw trade to YOU little COM
mission house.
Combine with this the agency for SELL
ing paper patterns, and at odd times
make up dainty sets of laces and en-
broideries, hoping to sell them to the pur-
chaSers of other goods.
Seek labor fields rather than profession
al ones, such as teaching and writing,
unless you ave a call" for such work.
Professional chaperonage is a very nice
tnlnS IL one lS employed Dy a
bureau. Shopping on commission is also
lucrative if one has a connection with an
established house. But to start off quiet
ly, unaided and unknown to do any of
these things is mighty hard and slow,
and it will be found that such work is
not what it is racke up to be.
BY all means, start in upon a little bust
ness that is reasonably sure from the
very first, and then, by watchfulness
and ingenuity and attention to the wants
of the people, build up a trade which
supports yourself.
But remember always that a single dol

RESISTED AN OFFICER.

Pittsburg News: Policeman McLub-
berty, which is as close to his name as I
dare go, for he is still living, ak a
beat, or as he called it. "a bate" in Soho.
He was a rolling mill man when, he was
appointed to the force" and he never lost
the rolling mill mans liking for a heater
and a cooler,'' which means a glass of
whisky and a schooner of beer. Every
morning before going off duty he would
drop INTO CampbelIs saloon and order a
heater inc a c%Ooler.' He would drink
them and walk out without paying. The
bartender stood it for a while and then he
exported it to Campbell.
I'll get up in the morning and put a
stop to it," said Campbell.
Lave me how a hater an a cooler said
McLubberty, as he laid his mace on the
bar the following morning in accordance
to his usual custom.
He was given what he called FOR, he
drank the whisky and beer, picked up his
mace and started out.
Here, McLubberty," said Campbell,
coming into view just then, come back
and pay for them drinks"
"Fots that?" asked McLubberty, with
genuine surprise. rs it askin' me fer
money We are?"
Il want you to pay for them drinks
repeated Campbell, coming from behind
the bar.
akin me to pay fer drinks an me wit
me unifarm an" McLubberty exclaimed
as he coached for Campbell with his
mace.
Fare did We come from thot We don't
know ony bether thon thot? Take thot fer
yer impartinince!"
With a blow of his mace he knocked
Campbell to the floor and split his head
open. The next day he was arrested for
aggravated assault and battery. He set
up the defense that Campbell was ray
sistin' an officer in the discharge of his
jooty," and what was more to the point
he proved it.

No doubt there are in this city at least
a thousand, and probably several thous-
and women, who are struggling along day
by day, and week by week. to keep up the
semblance of comfortable responsibility,
while in their pockets are purses so Slen-
der that the shop girl can boast greater
riches.
TIC &C into shops and factories is an i'm
possibility for these ladies. because, in the
first place. shops and factories seldom
employ middle aged women: and, sec
ondly, the work is too fatiguing for those
unaccustomed to it.
Now there are at least a dozen different
ways open to such women, and if they
will read carefully some that are here
suggested, they may be able to adapt and
change them somewhat, to fit the circum-
stances of each individual case, so that,
not only a living, but also many of the
old-time luXuries of life, may be obtained
for her who is willing to undertake the
task of doing something. Something
which will be highly appreciated and well
paid for by the public at large.
The first thing that occurs to a woman
when she finds herself thrown upon her
own resources, is to start a boarding
house. .
Now, despite the many disparaging
things which are said about keeping
boarders, it is really a lucrative employ
ment If one goes at it cleverly. There
should be nothing h~ap-hazard about it.
Every step should be as carefully planned
before hand as though one We're about to
engage in any other business.
The first requisite of a good boarding
house is good table and room service.
without the hiring of many servants.
To accomplish this, one should endeavor
to obtain boarders who are willing to
take their meals at, or about the same
hour, so that the waitress can attend to
the table at certain hours and then go
about an yother work which is assigned
to her. The cook can likewise double up
in her occupations, and can perhaps do
the laundry work for the house. providing
breakfas tbs entirely over by 8 o'clock.
Failing in this, for one cannot choose
ones boarders too closely, there hould
be a steam table for keeping food hot-as
in a hotel. 1t costs little.
In this a one avoids the expense of
hiring extra help. And the household

PARTY FINERY FOR LITTLE
GIRLS.

Party frocks are almost as necessary
an adjunct to the little girls wardrobe
in this progressive age as they are 70
her grown-up sister. For the real
short-frocked tots white, pearl, pink or
blue slippers and stockings are usually
favored, depending upon the color Of
the dress worn. Silks in plain or open
weave look better than Isle or cotton,
as they fit closer and are as a rule in
better coloring; and then they look
well as long as they last, whereas the
others fade. Girls who have come into
their teens may also wear white AMI
shoes and stockings
though growing girls with large feet
wear plain black French kid or patent
leather. Sashes are much worn, and
may be of ribbon or chiffron, as best
suits the gown. Some tie in a severe
bow at the back and have long ends,
while others knot at the side and have
ends finished with knotted fringe. If
hair-ribbons are worn they match the
sash or the stockings. A pretty fancy
for the hair is the wearing of flowers
instead of the old-time ribbon.-Mary

THE OLD DRAINAGE WARRANTS.

The supreme court of the United
States yesterday decided a case which
has long been hanging over this city,
in the matter of its liability for certain
drainage warrants, an inheritance
handed down from the old reckless
and desperate times when official jug
Cling with the peoples money and the
loading of them with unbearable bur
dens of taxation were the rule. The
court sustained the validity of the war
rants, but it cut down the enormous
interest that had been allowed by the
lower court. Interest at per cent
had been allowed from 1876, aggregat-
ing, with the principal, an enormous
sum; but the supreme court cut it
down SO that interest is chargeable
only from 1894, the time the action
was brought. This at least gives
some relief, but it looks as if the city
would never get done paying the mon
strous claims loaded upon it in the
terrible old radical republican times

Trainmaster of Madison Division
Northwestern Road.

Baraboo, Wis, Dec. S.-William A.
Lawson, trainmaster Of the Madison di-
vision of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway, died at his home in this city
early Thursday morning. About two
weeks ago he was taken with rheu-
matte fever and gradually grew worse
until the end came. The immediate
cause of his demise was rheumatism of
the heart, the same disease which
caused the death Of his father, mother
and sister. When his case became crit
ical al hope was given up and his near
est relatives summoned to his bedside.
Mr.. Lawson was born at Waupun
forty-four years ago. His father was
a minister in the west Wisconsin con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church and when the deceased was very
young the family came to Baraboo,
where the parents soon afterward died

ments during his ministry and for sew
eral years was presiding elder

his education he was ordained into the
same church which his father had so
long served, but after a time gave up
the ministry and became a telegraph
operator for the Chicago & Northwest
ern railway, with which company he
has ever since been employed. From
operator he became train dispatcher,
then chief train dispatcher and about
two years ago he was appointed to the
office which he held at the time of his
death. During nearly all of the time
he has been employed by the company
