PRETTY GIRLS AT DISCOUNT
They Are Seldom Selected NJ Emu
ploycs in the Large stores
of Great city.

Although all girls desire to be
handsome and those not favored with
the gift are constantly bemoaning
their fate, the plain girl has her com
pensations. One of them is the abil-
ity to procure employment if she
needs it. while her friend. more cap
tiyating in person and manner, is
turned away. One very attractive
girl applied at large establishment
recently, where she had understood
help was needed, reports the Chicago
Chronicle.
81 fear it will be impossible to
make a place for you behind our
counters" said the appointment clerk
with evident regret in his tone
And yet l understood that you
needed additional saleswomen to
meet the rush of the early summer
shopping" she murmured. II can

my ability and character. Oh, deari

least Il dozen good saleswomen."
$50 l did," returned the other,
calmly.
"Well, then. why didn't You give
that poor girl a show? Certainly her
beauty ought to be recommended
ton IN itself"
Her beouty"' repeated theappoint-
ment clerk with n smile. "Well, it was
wholly on that account that | refused
to give her a place. 1t is also the
only reason. no doubt, that she did
not succeed IN obtaining employment
elsewhere.
This is the golden era of the plain
girl in big establishments of this
kind, and her pretty sisters have to
step aside and find employment as
typewriters, stenographers or places
in offices where men mostly obtain
Not that just a traee-mind you

TRIALS OF A POET.
He Wrote One Poem Too Many and
nv Consequence He Lost
job in Congress.

Eugene I. Ware got to be commits
sioner of pensions in spite of being q
poet, and not because of it, SO de.
clares a Kansas man, who, chatting at
the Fifth Avenue hotel the other even
ing said that poem of Wares. The
Washer~oman's Song" defeated him
for congress and threatened to kill
him politically, says the New York
Times.
There are a lot of rigidly orthodox
preachers out in Kansas, and when
Gen. Funston's father was contesting
the nomination for congress with
Ware the preachers cited the poem to
prove that the author was not sound
on miracles, and they nominated Fun
ston.
after the convention Baptist
preacher who headed one of the dele
cations met Ware and said:
Wed liked to have voted for Won.
Gene, but you wrote one poem too
many.
The Washerwoman's Song also
caused a philanthropist to pour the
walls of his wrath upon Wares head.
The man was touched by the poem ana
sent Ware ten dollars fer the washer
woman. OF course the check was re-
turned with the explanation that the
woman was a creation of his magma
ton, and the return mail brought the
hotteses blast that Ware ever got.
"The philanthropist was mad clear
through. He declared that the poet
was trifiing with the higher qualities
of human nature in wringing people
hearts over imaginary ills, and that
he ought to be locked up for it.
"Ware was in doubt whether he
ought to feel tickled or penitent, but
he kept out of the philanthropist's
way"

SOUTHERN
EDUCATION
A SHARP CONTRAST.
The Church should Not he uujIt In
At the Expense of the Chill.
dren's school Houses

In certain town in the south there
are five or six beautiful church
houses, some of which have stained
glass windows and cushioned seats.
Probably the half dozen cost from
twenty Go thirty thousand dollars
The single school house in the town
is barn-like structure containing
one large room heated by box stove
in the middle. but with cracks in the
floor, wall and roof through which IA
cat could go. The house and equip
ment probably cost when new less
than five hundred dollars. We're the
county poor house or jail in no bet
ter condition the Judge of the SUI
perior court would probably charge
the jury to find bill of indueement
against the county commissioners.
But who ever heard Of a Judge or jury
among us considering the question of
4 school house, \ certain commune
~ in the south has three good
churches. one of brick. and Meth
odist parsonage built at a cost Of
$50, and little old school house
built many years ago al cost Of
500. There are many cities in the
south in which the church property
is worth from five to twelve times as
much as the public and private school
property. In one city the Sunday
school rooms Of single church cost
five times rs much as the public high
building and its equipment nearly
half as much as all the school build
ings in the city. The property own
ed by one of the 80 or 40 religious de-
nominations in one southern state IS
valued at twice as much as all the
public school property in the state.
The denomination has about 10000
members. while the population of the
state is about = 100000 and the school
population is 10000.
The church Is all right and no one
will complain that it has cost money
or wish that II were one whit less
commodious. slightly or comfortable
But that the school house should be
the miserable, cheap, ugly. cramped,
uncomfortable pen that it is. is all
wrong.
What is the lesson of it all? That
teachers and officers must do as
preachers and church officers have
done. They must make the people
believe that better school houses are
needed, and then they must labor
with untiring zeal until they are
| built. We are not too poor to build
these school houses. The community
that can build four or five goot
church houses can build at least ono
good school house. Is is only neees
sary TO awaken the conscience of the
people. Preachers, judges and iuries
should help in this, but it must re.
main largely the business of teachers
and school officers.
