 Cold winter night is near. No chorus

 Is hushed under deaths spell her crca-

 Vieing in beauty with the sunset sky, Stand gaunt and bare; the earth is un-

NEW VIEW or MATRIMONY.
Official Opinions That It Is w oms n \ Proper and Particular
 Profession.

School boards and the post office de- partment agree in holding that matri- mony is woman's profession and voca- ton, and that when woman marrics she secures means of livelihood and has no right to engage in other pur- suits to the exclusion of men or of women wl.o are not married.
 In Norfolk, Va, woman employed as teacher, being aware of the rule excluding women having husbands to support them, married secretly, and when the fact was discovered she was forced to resign. But she decided that she would rather teach than be q wife, and she offered to obtain q divorce in order to retain her place. This remarkable offer was rejected by the school beard, which may or may not have won thereby the gratitude of the gentleman who has the happiness to be the lady's husband. and she promptly employed counsel to sue the city for breach of contract.
 In the case of a clerk in the Indian. apolis post office, the Washington au- thorities have ruled that when a fe- male employe gets married she must resign and leave the government serr- ice
 It remains to be seen whether the general adoption of such a rule will tend to discourage matrimony or di- minish the fervor of woman's desire to do mans work in the world. observes the Philadelphia North American Surely not all women could be ind iced by the prospect of small salary to divorce their husbands CT to remain spinSters all their lives

BOB BURDETTE 7akes 2 Trip Abroad He Finds That the Switzerland of America Is
 Not tlle Real Thing.'
<NNCI

HNCE you have seen SwitzeT- ' land you can easily understand
 why the eNiled SwitZer some times dies of homesicllness. Once that is, 1 don't mean that the same man falls into the habit of dying, from which his friends vainIy endeavor to wean him. by argument. eNpostula- tion and rebuke. But the exile will find nothin" on this planet like his own beautiful. picturesque home. Not even the Switzerland of America,' so lurid- ly advertised by railways running through rolling prairie. or string of grimy hovei-bulded. de&olate-looking coal mines. There is but enc Switzer- land, and it is not located in the nited States. We have scenery that is unsur passed this side of Heaven. l have never been in Heaven. and do not know what they have in the way of landscape there. Although there are plenty of men who do know. l have heard preach CTS describe Heaven in far more specific detail than l can describe Switzerland and tell all a bout the inhabitants. how they drsssed. what language they spoke - it was always English - and what they cid. But, as l was saying, our scenery has no more need to bor- row it's name from Europe than have the American wines. As the American wine growers learned to their cost at the Paris exposition, it doesn't pay to steal a name; it is not only more profit able but it is more charac acteristic to in vent ones own. If there is city on cal th that New Ncrk does not resem- ble in any way. physically, morally, po- litically it is old York. If there is anything that the "Switzerlands of America" do net remotely resemble, il is SWitZerland
