Corduroy Coats For Boys.

Two pretty coats that twin boys up
town are wearing are of corduroy
with a coarse rib and of n pretty tan
shade, with brown linen collars and
cuffs. The coats turn away in broad
lapels at the neck, leaving n pointed
opening in front, into which is but
toned a diclley of the brown linen. a
broad circular collar slashed at the
shoulders fits up around the little
standing collar of the dickey at the
throat. This collar is also buttoned
on and can be removed and laundered.
The dickey is interlined with flannel
to give it sufficient warmth. The cuffs
of the linen are basted in place, and
they also can be removed. The plain
ness of the linen is relieved by bands
of insertion in heavy white Hamburg,
and there is n belt of white leather

Elizabeth Cady Stanton used to tell
the story of a band of good women
who furnished the means for educat.
ing poor young man for the ministry,
who rewarded their kindness and self
sacrifice by preaching his first sermon
from the text, Let your women keep
silence In the churches"
Somewhat similar was the expert
ence of Editor Cadby of the Whang,
vile Patriot He tells 1t In this wise:
II gave that boy of mine college
education. / had to economiZe, but
did 1t. Through my acquaintance with
friend In the big city got him a
job on first class city newspaper.
| could have made good use of him in
my own office, but wanted to do bet
ter for him than that. How do you
suppose he repaid me? The first thing
he did after he got his chair warm in
his new job, by George, was to write
two column burlesque on country
printing offices!

There is an old saying that virtue is
its own reward" and there is girl in
one of the department stores of the city
who knows that to virtue may be add
ed courtesy and kindness. There came
to the counter where she stands little
old woman the other day. She was
tiny and shriyeled and not very well
dressed in rusty mourning. She bought
q number of little notions, all of the
best, being very eXacting and almost
querulous, but the young clerk was
more than usually attentive and cour-
teous in trying to please her customer.
Once she said when the customer heSi-
tated about gqtting n certain article,
"My grandma uses it," and the bar
gain was clinched at once. When the
little old lady was through at that
counter, she started TO go to one near
by and wavered on her feet when she
rose from her seat. The young lady
was at her side in an instant and gave
the support of her strong young arm
for the few steps. When the counter
was reached, the lady thanked the girl
in tones tremulous with age. 81 will
remember you" she said.
The clerk returned to her counter and
had almost forgotten the incident when
n voice at her elbow startled her, and
there was the little old lady. 81 for
got to ask your name," she said in
apology. The young are not so thought
full of old age as you" The clerk gave
her name, and then the customer asked
if she could have the strong arm to
lean upon again to her carriage. At
this the clerks about began to look in
terested. They had been chatting the
girl before about her "mash," but a wo-
man who had her carriage" was not
to be made the subject of ridicule. The
young lady spoke to the foorwalker
and then went with the customer to
the door, where a handsome coupe,
with footmaS and coachman, was wait
ing. "Aly maid was not well this morn
ing, and could not let her attend me-"
said the little lady simply, "but | am
scarcely strong enough to go about
alone. Thank you, dear Your name is
Martha -. l will not forget" Nor
did she. Wednesday the little old lady
sent her maid with an invitation for
the young clerk to spend her time
from Saturday night to Monday morn
ing at the beautiful home in the sub
nrbs of northwest Washington, and
the carriage will call for and carry
you back to your work Washington
Star.

with all the legislation that it has ad-
vanced and advocated, if any effort
had ever been made toward securing
equal wages for men and women. Miss
American answered: "Well yes, a lit
,le at time. The question of wages
or equal pay for men and women is one
which we have handled In so far as
we ask equal pay for equal work per-
formed. Upon investigating condi-
:ions we find some very narrowing
experiences" said Miss American, smil-
ing. When a woman has just about
rendered herself invaluable to her EN-
ployer, ten chances to one she turns
around and gets married. Women do
not look upon employment in the same
way that man does. She is general
ly looking forward to something that
she calls better in the shape of mat
rimony, and once she has embarked
upon this sea her employer of course
loses her services. Generally as soon
us she knows positively she is going to
be married her interest in her work
ceases, whereas when a man is contem-
plating matrimony his interest in his
work increases. He seeks to make him
self more and more invaluable to his
employer, and from the moment he
gets married he generally applies him
self far more steadily and earnestly to
his work than before, because the
cares of a family demand extra labor
and higher wages to properly maintain
it.
"Many women have true idea of
the first two principles, but precious
few have any idea of the latter. When
the right opportunity comes, they will
get married"
At this all the ladies laughed, and a
pretty young girl said, "And they will
continue to do so as long as the world
lasts, all efforts of the business world
to educate them up to the idea of the
value of permanence to the contrary"

Not Second Sight.

In happenings that SAVIOR Of the su,
pernatural there is often less rather
than more than is "dreamt of in philos-
ophy."
In the English county of Wiltshire
there lived a woman whose deceased
husband had been pig dealer. After
his death it was her habit to remark
to chance visitors, without looking out
the window:
That's nice lot of young pigs,
those"
Where" the person present was
sure to ask.
"Comin down the road" was the in.
variable reply. "They're in a cart,
and, what's more, there's fine fat
SOW among EN-"
And 1t would not be long before a
cart would appear and in 1t litter of
pigs and among them the SOW which
the woman had perceived at such a
distance up the road. One day Wis
itor who saw in this exhibition an
evidence of second sight, exclaimed:
How do you do 1t? 1t is simply won

"'Tain't no miracle" was the modest
reply. "Pve just got my ear trained

Pretoria only during the raad sessions.
In the early days of the war it was
Mrs. Botha's custom to visit her hus-
band frequently on commando, where
her presence always had a cheering
effect upon the burghers. She was n
dashing woman and fit companion
for the gallant leader. When Pretoria
was occupied, Mrs. Botha remained in
the city. She met Lord Roberts a few
days after the capitulation and, being
persuaded of the hopelessness of a con-
tinuance of the struggle offered to try
to mediate with her husband. A pass
port was provided her, and the meet
ing was effected. "If it is to visit me
you come, | am delighted to see you,"
said General Botha, but if you come
to implore me to cease this struggle
you only shame me-" Mrs. Botha said
nothing more about her mission, and
nothing came of the negotiations at
that time.-Chicago Times-Herald.

The Late Annie wittenmyer.

Annie Turner Wittenmyer was born
In 1927 at Sandy Springs, o. She came
of long line of warrior ancestry. Her
great great grandfather was an officer
of high rank in the French-Indian war,
her great-grandfather was killed at
Saratoga in the Revolutionary war, her
grandfather was a soldier in the war
of 1912, and her father gave three sons
to the civil war. 1t needed only the
firing of the gun at Fort Sumter to fan
into blaze the smoldering fire of pa
triotism kindled in childhood by the
oft told tales of her grandsires.
Annie Turner was married to Will
liam Wittenmyer in 1S47 and became
the mother of five children, all save
one dying in infancy or early child
hood.
In April, 1861, she offered herself to
the governor of Iowa, of which state
was sent to the front to distribute
sanitary supplies. She continued to
act in this capacity and that of a nurse
during the subsequent years of the
war. When peace was declared, she
became active and aggressive in pa
triotic work. She was instrumental in
establishing soldiers orphans home
in Iowa, a soldiers home in Kentucky
and a soldiers memorial home in
Pennsylvania. She was leading
spirit in the organization of the Ma
tional Woman's Relief corps and a
prominent factor in establishing the
National w. r. G. home at Madison, o.
Mrs. Wittenmyer served five years
as the first president of the National
w. C. II. U. When the change of
policy caused division, she became a
member OF the Nonpartisan w. G. T.
u, serving one year as president. Her
last public work, only two days before
her death, was at a temperance con-
vention.
She possessed fine literary ability and
was the author of "Women of the
Revolution" History of the Woman's
Crusade and "Under the Guns" She
was editor and contributed to many
popular periodicals. On the platform
she was intense, witty and persuasive,
abounding in telling Illustrations of
personal experience. Though above
medium height, inclined to full habit,
she was active and vigorous. She died
after half hours illness at her beau
tiful country home in Saratoga, on
Feb. 2, in the seventy-third year of her
age.-Sarah Il. Wilcox in Housekeeper.

Democrats, whose terms have expired.
The board OF prison commissioners will
now be composed Of four Republicans,
County Commissioners Hay and Jones
and the new prison commissioners, and
one Democrat, County Commissioner
Finn. Previous to the election OF Judge
Ferris the judiciary was Democratic
and, OF course, the prison board was of
the same complexion.
As the terms of all the officials at the
county prison expire on April l the
board will elect a new warden, depu-
ties, matchmen, etc, and there are
many Republicans in search of the posi-
tions that the Democrats have been heir
to so long. The leading candidates for
warden are George j. Llewellyn, A. E.

a select few, which she calls informal.
For instance, the invitation to the gen

the sense that it includes society at
large, Is on the stiffeSt and most impos-
ing "at home" card, while the really
exclusive affair Is often merely a visit
ing card with "very small dance
written in the corner. With dinners it
is the same way. If you are hidden by
personal note to an ultra fashionable
