Teaching Girl. to sew.

The operating classes conducted for
the benefit of poor uuSkilled girls at
the employment bureau of the Associa-
ton of Working Girls Societies last
SUMMER have already shown results
even beyond the expectations of those
who We're most SanSIIine of their sue
cess. says the New York Post. An
eight weeks course i'll machine sewing
was given to IL girls. The pupils We're
recruited from among the poorest and
most deserving families and were
themselves C.g.Lc-. aud worthy. y
number of them We're young women
who failed to continue long in any one
position because of incompetency and
who were out of employment ten
months every year because they lacked
training in any one branch of work.
Others were girls just beyond the
school aye whose parents were await
ing an Opportunity to place them out
as cash girls. The course in sewing
given to l.: girls by the employment
bureau the summer previous ana its re
suits We're so satisfactory that last
summer an enlarged class was the out
come. Miss Leonora O'Reilly was in
charge of the class. and she. with two
and awarded each a certificate of pro-
ficiency at the expiration of the pre-
scrihed time The full course cost each
girl 20 cents. The difference in cost to
the association WAS $50 for each pu-
pi!. which is made good from a special
fund raised for that purpose The re
suit of the expenditure of S4OS on these
IL girls has been that a majority of
them have already secured permanent
places as operators at 81 a week. Thus
one years apprenticeship has been
done away with. Many more girls
than could be accommodated applied
for admission into the classes. but even
the number mentioned severely taxed
the three teachers. 1t Is the aim of the
bureau to start another class next sum-
mer IL funds to defray the expenses
can be raised. No difficulty whatever
is met by the girls holding the schools
certificates when they apply for work.
and. better yet. all the graduates up TO
this time have succeeded in retaining
their positions after fair trial

ALLEGED ROBBERS
GETS the WORST OF THE BATTLE
FROM A MAIL CARRIER
But the Wounded One Attempts To
Turn the Tables IN Novel Way
Sta ing that the Mail Man Made
the First Attack

Parties arriving on the Sierra Madre
train Saturday evening report a daring
holdup near the railway late Friday
afternoon.
The mail hack that runs from the
station to Corralitos hacienda, about
twenty-five miles distant, was attacked
by highwaymen. One was killed in
stantly. one was badly wounded and
the third escaped.
The mail rider tells his story sub
stantially as follows; however, the
wounded man tells another story that
is being investigated.
He says that as he was approaching
Corralitos station he was attacked by
three men in the foot hills of the
mountain. They ordered him to throw
up his hands but instead he drew his
Winchester and fired on them. At the
first shot one of the men fell dead. All
was confusion for aminute but he kept
on firing. Anoi ne ci. - 'dy men was
wounded but succeeded in escaping.
The third he thought got away unhurt.
He reported the affair at the station
and a posse went out to search for the
killed and wounded. They found the
dead man where the fight took place
and found the wounded one several
miles away. He was seriously hurt
but was arrested and taken with the
mail rider to CaSaS Grandes. where
both were put In Jail to await trial.
When seen by the judge of letters
the wounded man indicted the mail
rider and added another sensational
chapter to- the story. He says the mail
rider attacked him and his companions
and attempted to rob them. They re-
sisted and he opened fire on them. kill
ing one and wounding him. He told
very straight story apparently and the
judge holds an indictment against him.
The wounded man is n stranger as
were also the killed and missing ones
and his story is not credited further
than the fact that il sounds like an
honest report.
II is said that the mail rider had con-
siderable money bound for the express
Office at Corralitos but this report has
not been confirmed

Beauty md Business.

"You ask whether good looks are a
disadvantage to Il girl i'm business"
said a comedy young woman who now
occupies an important position in a
New Orleans mercantile establishment.
THAT is question that has been pro-
pounded before. and in n general way l
would answer yes. decidedly. A few
years ago. however, when wcmen be

bic numbers, the exact reverse was the
case l am still under so, but / remem-

I'm typewriters and stenographers. and
merchants were then under the i'm

that idea.

placed in the clerks themselves. The
handsomest girls were pretty sure to
be vain and 'touchy.' and when one
proved really valuable she was morally

her services were most needed. So
practical men began to see that pretty
girls did not pay as n cold business
proposition. and the same discovery

than they were worth. They democrat
lied their fellow employees and created
no end of jealousy and bitterness and
friction. In many cases, perhaps in
most cases. the poor girl wasn't i'm the
least to- blame. She couldn't help be-
ing good to look at and was probably
trying her best To attend to her own
affairs, but the idiotic men wouldn't
let her. However. results are the only
days. and a few years ago a big reac
ton against beauty set in.

nn Had Too Many Names.

About .wo years before Mr.. Sawyer
retired from the senate his mail one
morning contained touching letter
from a man in Maryland whose home
had just been frightened by the ar
rival of a bouncing boy. The fond
parent went on to tell that the boy
would be named Philetus Sawyer
Jones and expressed the hope that the
child would grow UP an honor to the
name and the possessor of the fine
traits of character that distinguished
the generous hearted man whose name
would be borne by himself.
Senator Sawyer went to the senate
haulber with warm glow in his
heart and the determination to send
that fond parent a nice big check. He
felt so good that he showed the letter
TO Senator Allison. The Iowa man
chuckled as he read it and produced a
letter almost identical, except that the
young prodigy was to be named Will
liam Allison Jones. --"-
1t was too good to keep, and they
told the story to Senator Edmunds of
Vermont. That stately old gentleman
melted sufficiently to smlingly produce
a letter of similar purport. Then there
ensued comparison of senatorial
notes. showing that the youthful Mary
lander had been fairly loaded with dis
tinguished names from Justin Morrill,
Jones to Don Cameron Jones. That
Maryland infant received no birthday
