He Believed He'd Remain.

An absent-in minded citizen
had an unfortunate expert
ence at a Memphis hotel which
has induced him to jot down
a few important words for
use the next time he goes to
the city.
He registered at the desk
shortly after supper, and
hung about the Office until
8 o'clock, when he remarked
to the clerk that he believed
he would "remain."
"Very WE'LL" said the affa-
hle clerk.
Another hour went by and
the ola man came again to
the desk, and observed with
decision:
81 say. l believe I'll remain
"Of course, by all means, if
you WISH" again replied the
clerk.
As the clock struck eleven
the old man, now so sleepy
that he rould barely keep his
eyes open. angrily called out:
"By gum, l say l believe
iii remain"
Certainly, so you'5 said,' u
answered the clerk. 'and
when you are ready to retire
you can find your key at the
desk"
"Retire!" yelled the farmer
jumping to his feet. "That's
the word I've been trying tc
thipk Of for two hours. Gil
me the key. I'll sleep till ten
O'Clock tomorrow to make
up lost time!"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

N
The idea OF Mpxicanizing
this government by giving
the President a third term,
as a step toward keeping
him in Office permanently, by
going through the farce OF
holding an election every four
years, as the Mexicans do
with Dinz, has been thrown
down hard enough to hav We
been killed every time it has
reared its head IN this conn
try, but it isn't dead. 1t is
now being nnrsed by Senator
Chauncey Depew, who be.
longs to the class that would
welcome a permanent ruler
of the country, whether call
ed President or by any 9th
er title, provided he held the
right yiew.ssTbat class thinks
Mr.. Mckinley holds the right
view forthem. Thataccounts
for Mr.. Depew's announce

20 determined to test public
opinion on the third term
idea, with the intention il
there was not too much kick

Mckinley again. Those mer
are now studying the press
comments upon Mr.. Depew's
third term interview. Few o.
what are known as the prac
tical politicians in the reput
lican party are in this third
term scheme. It's success
would mean the retention O
too many men already in Of
fee, to please them; but prat
teal politicians never b u t
their beads against 81 o n e
walls, and if a strong rank
and file thil d tarm sentiment
can be worked up, they viii
follow the crowd. Some o

JOURNALISM coARsENs WOMEN.
Not One Girl in Twenty Can Steer
SafeIv Amon0 the Rocks

mol One GIfi IN twenty Can steer
Safely Among the Rocks.
In reply to letter sent by Edward
Box to representative men and wo-
men journalists of this country asking
rs the Newspaper Office the Place For
a Girl?" leading woman writer and
editor says, in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal: "For a young girl 1 consider
newspaper Office the most appalling
moral eye-opener Imaginable Natur-
ally where all subjects are published
they are to great degree discussed,
and a woman must hear things that
no amount of chivalry from her mascu-
line co-workers can prevent. That
bon comaraderie which a woman of the
world understands and can cope with
is often the undoing of the young girl
who grows fippant and unwomanly in
her desire to be regarded favorably
by members of the staff"
A leading editor in reply to the same
question embodies in his letter the
opinions of the Twenty-Five other men
who also answer the inquiry negative
1y: cit depends upon the girl" it is
said. And it does. But so much de-
ponds upon her, she is asked to carry
so much, she is required to be so ever
lastingly on the defensive, that there
isn't one girl in twenty who can safe
1y steer across all the rocks she meets.
And even if she does do not see how
it is worth her while. We are sup
posed to pay our women better than
any paper in New York: yet OF the lot
the highest receives only forty-two dol
lars a week. She is generally credited
as getting one hundred dollars week,
but. actually, she gets what l say,
since I pay her each Friday. And hers
is an unusual success.
