TEACHING GIRLS NEED.
Railroad Man Says They Should

Ticket Agent ]. D. Brown, of the Lake
Shore road, yesterday, Eat least in
connection with travelling. There are
any number of highly educated girls
who don't know any more about buy
ing a railway ticket than they do
about making deed of house and
lot. The other day young woman
came into the office to purchase a
ticket, which, with her berth, came
to just SIG. Evidently it was her first
experience, and we all tried to make
her feel as much at home as possible.
She handed me 500 bill in payment,
and 1t so happened that had no small
bills to give her change. / laid
down four silver dollars in front of
her telling her that If she gave my
another dollar I'd give her a S. bill.
At first she didn't seem to UNDER
stand, and l repeated the proposition.
Then she said: oh, couldn't do that,
you know
Evidently somebody had told her
to beware Of being nim-flammed.
Well 1 said, let me show you. Just
give me a dollar out of your purse
She produced the dollar, which
stacked up against the four silver dol
lars which had already counted out,
and then gave her new. S. note
She put the note into her purse and
went away with look that said as
plainly as anything could: Without
doubt I've been buncoed, but don't
know howl So, 1 say, people ought
to give the girls an opportunity to do
little business, especially in connec-
ton with travel."-Cleveland Plain

Lermond's horse, exhausted by the

MRS. RURNETT's MARRIAGE.
Some Statements Refuted by Those

Who Know the Facts.
Just why people should pounce upon
Mrs. Burnett since the announcement
of her marriage to Mr.. Townsend, Of
London, for the express purpose Of cir
culating stories of her marital rela-
lions with DR.. Burnett, is difficult Of
explanation, even had they grain OF
foundation in truth. In the first place,
those who have known the talented
authoress all the days of her welded
life know such stories to be untrue.
The real facts of the case rather re-
verse the situations. Instead of DIR.
Burnett having helped to mold his
wife's character and educate her mind
for her present high literary pedestal,
professional studies abroad, and, by
the sale of her earliest book, not only
made such result possible, but lift
ed the family out Of dire necessity.

from the first shouldering all the
household expenses.
Mrs. Burnett has always shrunk
from publicity and lived quietly alb
sorbed in her literary work, surround
ed by coterie of women friends, to
whom she made her house an attrac-
tive informal rendezvous. For the
past few years she has suffered from
an affection of the heart, the result Of
overwork, and has been forced to
withdraw from all participation in the
winters social rush.
Mr.. Townsend Is, as regards to age,
'Sne year the senior Of his wife, their
acquaintance dating back to the
period of her son Lioners illness and
death, when he devoted all his medi-
cal skill and intelligence IS nurse to
the saving Of the boys life, far gone
in rapid consumption. While those
among her most intimate friends
knew Of her engagement and proposed
marriage, at the time of her sailing

since, 1t was In concession to her urg
emit request to be spared all publicity
