sTocKMAN TO THE RESCUE.
A Dig-Heai;ed westerner Relieves
the Distress Of an Unfortunate.
Cash Girl.

There was a crush in the big store.
The passages about the counters were
filled with a swiftly moving mass of
shoppers. People pushed, crowded and
jostled, lodged this way and that to
take advantage of some nomentary gap
in the throng, and stroye in half-heart-
ed way to obey an unwritten law by
"keeping to the right" But counter
currents, eddying in from cross aisles
at either side, confounded all attempts
at order. The place was chaos Of mat
ter and motion. On every side sales
women were rafting their lead pen
ellis on the show cases and calling
"Cash!" The form OF d hoor-walker
lowered about the struggling ruck.
Little cash girls in gingham aprons
fitted here and there, crying their
numbers in shrill falsetto.
Suddenly came crash and clatter as
of breaking crockery, followed by the
sobs Of child. An absurdly small cash
girl had dropped an armful of china
ware. In her haste she had bumped
into a man, or man had bumped into
her, just which was not quite clear.
The crowd paused to look on, while the
foorwalker listed the broken articles.
who stands the loss?" asked a by
stander. He was big man, wearing the
broad-brimmed felt hat usually asso-
cialed with stocImen Of the west.
The foorwalker was too busy to an
swer. The child dug her fists into her
eyes and wept softly. The man with
whom she had collided attempted to
back away, but the crowd was too
dense.
why, the child stands it, of course"
volunteered spectator
"Is that right?" asked the first speak
er, placing hand on the foorwalker's
arm.
TITS the rule" replied that function
ary. I'VE have to do something to make
the cash girls mere careful"
"And how much does the child get |
a week?"
No one seemed to know.
How much dc you make a week,
little girl?" he asked, kindly.
"Thr = thr - three dollars" she
sobbed
''Three dollars. And the broken
fishes, Mr.. Floorwalker?"
-Four dollars and eighty-tive cents"
The child wept more violently. Those
words no doubt dispelled all her fond
y cherished visions Of Christmas cheer.
almost two weeks wages" said the
tockman.
The man with whom she had collided
verted his face and tried to elbow his
way out of the crowd, but behind him
we're many curious to learn the cause
# the commotion, and these pushed
i'm forward.
There was a low-voiced consultation
'etween the big-hearted westerner, the
oor-walker and the cash girl A wal

Mental Development Does not Dimin-

spicuously in illustrated newsps
pers is by no means true repre-
sentative of the new woman.
In the first creative days of th,
world, before mothers existed
there was no love upon the earth
not until the arrival of the little
human child did love appear. In
stinct is not love, neither is pas
sion. Love has been woman Is
distinguishing trait from the begin.
ming, and as it was in the begin.
ming, is now, and ever shall be.
Because of this love woman has
endured much, sacrificed much
and developed much. A woman
now needs to be a philosopher to
do justice to the profession of
motherhood. Some women have
not yet become aware of their re-
sponsibilities and opportunities,
but more and more, the world over,
woman is beginning to understand
what power is hers, and may be
hers, when she becomes better
equipped for her position. The
study of motherhood and child.
culture has become almost fad,
excepting that unlike a fad, the
study will continue. There are
innumerable publications of the
highest order on mother culture.
The recent congress of mothers in
dicates great things attained and
great things yet to be accomplish
ed.
1t is an absurd supposition that
the new woman may lose her
womanliness as her mental deyel-
opment progresses. II men fear
they may not be loved by her, it
will behoove them to keep pace
with her and then they may feel
assured that if there is anything
Iovable in them the new woman
will discover it just as surely as
any other woman ever did. Not
wlthstanding wars, and rumors Of
wars, and the greed for gold, more
love exists in the world today than
ever before. Organized woman
hood has pleaded for peace, and
or better protection of the soldier
Boys while in the army; has cared
