BUSINESS WOMEN AS WIVES.
Tact In Fiscni Affairs Does Not Spoil
the Woman of To-Day for
Mntrimony.

A feminine writer does not regard
the business woman as untitled for the
duties of a wife and mother. She re-
CARDS it as matter of personal taste
upon the part of the man in the case
If he wants clinging vine, some one
who will put him on pedestal and be
grateful that fate has given her a god
usually tin-let him keep away from
the business woman. But if he wants
chum who will take him for what
he is-and in spite of it-who will be
a wife and pal, and will be solid COM
fort to him. let him choose woman
who has been out into the business
world and gained a broader view of
the world and of man.
Such a one will take a man for just
what he is worth-no foolish ideals
about his greatness; just plain man
good fellow who won't bluff, because
he knows he cannot, and they will be
happy, because neither expects too
much.
Business never untitled any woman
for matrimony who was originally
fitted for it. She can go through a
business career without any loss of
any kind. 1t rests entirely with her
and she can gain much which will be
of incalculable advantage in making
her life happy and that of the man
who gets her. Business broadens her
and gives her common sense-Or to be
more polite, more common sense.

DOCTOR TURBIN, 1903 Randolph ST., Chicago ILL.,
HARRISOE'S GOOSE CASE.
Tried Under an apple Tree, ana Lhe
Lawyer Hitched I'D Ills
Trousers.

EX-presideEt Harrson's death has
recalled an interesting incident in the
early history of Johnson county, Ind.
The event, according to the Franklin
Star, took place in White River town
ship in August, 1855, and is interest
ingly related by James Collins, one
of the principals.
Berrin Reynolds owned a large
flock of geese, and near him resided
Rev. j. Il. Surface. The wandering
disposition Of geese is a well-known
fact. The ganders of Mr.. Reynolds
flock were wont to stray away over
the fields and garden of Mr.. Surface.
This was very annoying to the min
lister. lie patiently put up with the
trouble for some little time, but final
~ patience ceased to be a virtue, and
he decided to get rid of the trouble
some geese. One day he drove them
off into the woods, where they wan
dered away and were eaten by the
wild animals that infested the timber
in those early days.
The outcome was a suit filed before
Squire Abraham Miller by Mr.. Rey-
nolds. claiming damages. Mr.. Rey-
nolds' attorney was the late Col. S.
p. Oyler. and Rev. Mr.. Surface was
ably represented by the then young
but rising attorney, the late Gen.
Harrison. The trial took place under
an apple tree that Mr.. Collins says is
still standing, The trial was by jury.
Squire Miller. besides being Justice
Of the peace, was a Lutheran preach
er. Mr.. Collins recalls the fact that
during the trial all were coatless,
that Gen. Harrison wore no suspend
ers, and during his argument before
the jury would occasionally stop to
pull up his trousers. The jury dis
agreed.

ARIZONA'S GLASS MOUNTAIN.
Remains of PrehistOric People Found
Near ar tinct Volcano in an
Unknown Region.

a PARTY of archaeologists and anti
quarisns have made important discov-
cries in the hitherto UNEMPLOYED region
at the northern limit of the Harqua
Hala range of mountains in Arizona.
A great desert and the total absence OF
water have prevented any previous eX-
animation, and only the Indians know
of the curiosities of these mountains,
says the New York Sun.
One side of one mountain rises in ter
races. and presents many features re-
calling the Grand canyon of the Col
orado The whole mass is of obsidian,
or volcanic glass, and glitters in colors
of green, blue and black. 1t may be
seen on clear mornings at great dis
tances and the glitter of the noun
tain has lured many travellers in its di-
rection.
The exploring party found under a
high shelving rock a narrow necked
ola, or earthenware jar, bottom side
up, containing human bones, Il broken
hammer and a metate, or stone en-
ployed by the prehistoric races Of Ari-
ZOId Dl obdblN lol lliN Stliit pun l''0N :

aborigines of to-day for grinding
maize. Slabs. turquoise stones and
other curiosities were revealed by dig

rocks which were supposed 70 be in
scriptions. 4 careful study of the Gu
riosities was not made, but another
party will be organized for the pur'
pose of unearthing all available relies
in the mountain and to study them.
The mountain of glass is a marvel OF

ACTED JUST LIKE SOME MEN
When This Monkey Got Drunk He
Began to Throw Away His
Money.

The unusual spectacle Of an intuNi-
Gated monkey, gaudily dressed in red
and gold, throwing Hickels and pennies
at a crowd of children almost resulted
in a tragedy on Chestnut street the
other morning, says the Louisville Cou-
rier-Iournal.
The monkey was more intelligent
han most Of his race. He wasn't
young, and his queer behavior could
not be attributed TO his inexperirnce.
OF course, he was the property Of an
organ grinder, Up beyond First the

At a second-Story window the little
beast saw man standing The stran-

climbed to him The window was
opened, and the little climber disap-
peared within Five minutes later he
climbed down the lightning rod. Aft
er that the whole monkey family would
have been scandalilcd could they have
witnessed his actions. For a block he
was unruly. Then he began to sep
arate him from the money which
he had collected. Nickels flew in ev-
cry direction.
But the animal kept on iabbering
1t was not his fault that he was drunk
When he went to that second-story
window the young man offered him
whisky-soaked bread, and the animal
ate heartily.

THIS GIRL DID NOT FAINT.
Her HeartIess Young Brother Cured
Her of Her Desire to
Collapse.

There was an incident of Easter Sun
day that was not down on the pro-
gramme of one of the prominent
churches of the city, but which caused
considerable amusement to some and
satisfaction to others Of the worship
ers, says the Chicago Chronicle
Among the attendants were a young
man and his sister. The youth was
aged perhaps IS years and he was,
therefore, at that unromantic period
when faintnesS in ones wOmankind is
regarded merely as beastly bore and
not as an occasion for sympathy. The
young woman was perhaps three years
his senior. The services were long
and before they were half over the
girl swayed as she stood listening to
the Gospel, turned deadly pale and
clutched at her brothers arm.
Tin going to faint" she said.
"No. you're not. either" replied that
youth in an energetic whisper. Here.
here, wake up; don't shut your eyes.
What's the use of faintng? Stand
steady; whoa, now, old girl, and all
the time he was uttering these tender
directions he was poking his compan-
ion in the ribs as only lusty, healthy
15-year-old boy can poke.
The effect was magical. Half a
dozen vinaigrettes and host of palm
leaf fans could not have brought the
young woman to herself as quickly.
Given no encouragement to lose CON
sciousness, She quickly pulled herself
together and wss able in a few min
, utes to leave the edifee.
