Women Considered "Poor Pay

Tradesreople in general consider
women AS poor pay" writes Edward
Box in ladies' Home Journal. The
vast ajority Of sheltered women
seem to have no conception of the
anxieties, trouble, poverty, suffering
privation, injustice and positive cruel
~ which they directly inflict upon
hardworking women by a careless
ness in promptly meeting their bills
If this practice were confined to the
few one might dismiss it with a
shrug or a sigh that it existed at all
But it applies TO the majority of
women. Let a woman look into this
matter carefully, and she will be sur
prised at the evils which result from
this careless disregard OF obligations
Wherever you find feminine indus
try there you will find a ledger full
of unpaid accounts.

GEN. GRANTS RETREAT.
The Only Time the Great Union SOL
der Was Beaten Was by
Policeman.

Speaking of night sticks reminds me
of seeing Gen. Grant in his, to my mind,
greatest hour, the only time he was
ever beaten, and by a policeman,
writes Jacob Riis, in the Outlook. The
occasion i refer to was after the gem
erals second term in the presidency.
He was staying at the Fifth Avenue
hotel, when one morning the Masonic
temple was burned. The fire line was
drawn half way down the block to-
ward Fifth avenue, but the police were
much hampered by the crowd and were
out of patience, when ], standing by,
saw a man in a great ulster, with
head buried deep In the collar, cigar
sticking straight out, coming down the
street from the hotel. 1 recognized
him at sight as Gen. Grant. The po-
liceman who blocked his way did not.
He grabbed him by the collar, swung
him about, and, hitting him resound-
ing whack across the back with his
club, yelled out:
What's the matter with you? Don't
you see the fire lines? Chase your
self out of here, and be quick
about It'll"
The general said never a word. He
did not stop TO argue the matter. He
had run up against a sentinel, and
when stopped went the other way.
That was all. The man had right to
be there; he had none. / was never
so much an admirer of Grant as since
that day. 1t was true greatness. A
smaller man would have made row.

the punishment of the policeman. As
for him. there was probably never so

told him whom he had dubbed. I will
warrant he did not sleep for a week.

of it. Grant probably never gave him
thought.

A BOND OF UNION.
Two Old Soldiers Brought Together
Through "A badge Worn by
One of Them.

There were four men in the rear
seat of an open car bound downtown
on Eighth avenue one morning re-
Gently. A poorly dressed old man
climbed aboard and tried to crowd
into place alongside another old
man, whose finely woven Panama
hat told of his wealth, says the New
York tribune.
Here, what are you trying to do"
growled the man with the expensive
hat, glancing up from his paper.
There's no room here"
81 thought could find ROOM" said
the poor man.. in tone of apology.
He turned toward the rich man,
and in so doing showed him a cop
per button on the lapel of his coat.
The rich man stared for a moment,
then held out his hand.
81 say, comrade, well make room
for you" he said, as he crowded
over. 81 didn't know you were a
grand army man."
The poor man in turn saw the cop
per badge in the other mans coat.
where were your" he asked.

man. And you?"
II was at Missionary Ridge"
At Twenty-third street they got
off the car, the old soldier who was
poor and the one who was rich, and
arm in arm they headed for the near
est drinking place to finish talking Il
over. The button of copper and the
memories il called up had removed
the differences which existed between
their stations in life.

and myself had one portfolio among
us. Four would load the big En-
fields, while the fifth fired them and
handed them back. When his shout
der began TO ache with the heavy
recoil he would exchange places with
one of the leaders.
1T was deadly work. and, as 1t
seemed to us, hopeless work. The
men dropped at the portfolios. In
the trenches they were falling every
where. All our flags went down.
Over yonder on Kenesaw mountain
sherman was signaling: Hold the
fort; / am coming. and we signaled
back a CHEEKY answer, but soon all
our signal men were shot down, and
Sherman could only guess by the
noise of our guns that we were still
lighting. We could not keep the col
ors up, and our fire began to dwin-
die. / remember at last l picked
up my army overcoat. / was sure
il was all over, and / thought
should need it in Andersonville.
"But there was a young lieutenant,
sick with some wasting fever, who
sat inside the fort, his lips moving
and his eyes blazing. When the
thought of surrender was uppermost
with all of us, suddenly he sprang to
his feet and Selling one of the shat
tered flags leaped upon the parapet
and stood waving it there in the
midst of that storm of bullets.
"He dropped dead in moment, but
he did not die in vain. His heroism
drove us back TO the defenses, and
nothing could drive us away. When
the fighting ceased again it was be-
cause the confederates had drawn
off. convinced that the game was not
worth the candle.
SHERMAN came as he had prom

after the battle. i was standing in
front of the hospital as he came rid
ing up on a black horse. Sherman
had nerves of iron, but the sight of
the wreck of that battle was more
than he could endure. As he came
abreast of me suddenly his horse
went up in the air; the rider had
drawn back with an involuntary
shock and his steed, feeling the sud
den pressure on the rein, had reared
under him. Thus we held the

whence we could see the campfires

of mules came TO us on the clear
night air, the distant shouts and
songs of the soldiers and the vast
murmur that tells of the near pres

Allatoona, where we would have
chance to make a real fight. But he
said he would stay there until Sher-
