One WOInnn's Work.

When the firm failed every cent
owned by the family was gone and
the young woman scarcely within her
twcnties, had had no practical educa-
tion She was an exquisite pianist.
Music lessons she decided upon. The
only trouble was where to get the
scholars.
AS usual with the falling OF the for
tune there was a rising of the family
pride. None must know the true
state of affairs In time the men
would regain their feet, and until
then there must not be an inkling that
there was embarrassment-so the men
decided.
The young woman decided that the
men might not regain their feet In
time; also that she did not intend
burdening anybody. and that now was
her chance to show of what she was
made. She limited at the scheme of
giving music lessons
There must he nothing like that,
she was told. Where would you get
scholars without all creation know
ing that a shoe pinched? The idea
OF a woman I'm their family earning
her own livelihood was more than
the men felt called upon TO endure,
she was told With an ordinary
young woman that would have been
enough ana she would have done as
advised.
Perhaps it was her ignorance of the

that prompted her and in time secured
her success. But the way TO get schol-
ars. she decided. was TO go after them.
Also friends must not KNOWN that
she coucurred with her advisers.
She said not word To any one, but
left her home to stroll in the park"
when she returned she cOndded 10
her mother that she had her first pi-
auo scholar. Nothing must be said
to the men. she cautioned.
Next day she returned from another
stroll and had found another
scholar. Thereafter she Strolled daily
for month. at the end of which time
she had an income of Sl5 a week, and
every cent of it picked up in field

THREE conoREssMEn.
Colorado Likely to Have that Number
on the Majority Side Of the
Next House.

Messrs. shafroth and Bell have been
able to render services to Colorado
which are sufficient answer to the as
sertion made two years ago that they
would be without influence In Congress
because of their utilization with the
Democratic minority in the House. The
services which a member OF Congress
can give to his constituents depend
chiefly on his character and ability, and
Messrs. Bell and Shnfrorh are well
equipped in both respects.
The outlook for the present election,
however, is that those gentlemen will
enjoy In the next Congress- whatever
advantages accrue from membership In
the majority party. The indications
are that the Democrats will have a ma
j0rity In the House. Henders0n's re.
tirement In Iowa is a symptom Of the
enmity to the trusts which n stirring
the people throughout the country and
which will find expression In the cleo
ton Of an increased number of Demo-
cratic members Of Congress- and Demo
cratic Legislatures.
Owing to their long service, the two
old Colorado members enjoy high SEN
IOrity rank on the committees. Mr..
Bell Is one of the leading members Of
the great committee on appropriations.
Mr.. Shafroth Is the ranking member on
the Democratic side of the committee
on public lands and is second in tho
committee on coinage, weights aud
measures. With Democratic major
ity in the House Mr.. Bell, As one Of the
most influential members of the COM
mittee on appropriations. and Mr.. Shat
