ell the work can be done at home, but
one which 10 confined. in the nature Of
things, to widows aud maidans.
The women who engage in this easy
and lucrative calling are known as
professional lady rejectors," and
their business is giving much concern
TO the Argentine authorities.
II all came about by the passage Of
the law taxing bachelors in-the Ar
gentine. AS the law was thought to
bear too hard upon young men who
really tried to get married and could
not do so from the fact that nobody
would have them, clause was insert
ed by which a man was exempt from
the tax if he could prove that he had
proposed and been rejected. They
are not SO slow in those Latin Ameri.
can countries as we people up north
Imagine. The professional lady re-
jector at once made her appearance
on the scene.
The fair daughter of the South who
chooses the reflector" business in
preference to typewriting or becoming
saleslady does not hang out sign
NOR send around cards engraved with
"Carmencita Suarez, Professional
Lady Reflector. Office Hours: 2 to

that she is in the business and will
vibrant rejection every time. For a
certain stated sum she will consent to
be woed by any eligible bachelor tax
dodger for reasonable length Of time.
He can take her to the theater, buy
her ices, and pay for her. bouquets
and bonbons until the expiration Of
the time limit, when he asks her to be
his, and, according to the contract,
she promises to be a sister to him.
But her work is not yet over, for
when the tax on bachelors is due and
Jose goes to the alcaide to swear off
his taxes, Carmencita has to go with
him to make oath that he has propos-
ed to her ond been rejected.
This seems an easy aud pleasant
way of making ones living; but the
girls engaged in the business say that
II really is one requiring the greatest
self-contlol, and frequently causes the
greatest agony Of spiris TO the practi-
tioner, especially if she has large
and wealthy clientele. For spinster
whose chances for matrimony are on
the wane, or buxom widow who
longs to be consoled, TO resist the
temptation to violate her contract and
say ''yes' when some nice young man
with nice fortune proposes, requires
phenomenal business integrity and
10 severe wrench to the feelings.
It readily will be seen that it is not
every woman who can succeed in the
calling Of lady reflector. She must
have the faculty of convincing men
that her rejection is certain, or they
will not trust her and she cannot get
business. The young girl just entering
the profession has hard time Of it,.

that Colonel Diss and4Tom Hays acted

and the station properties claim the
senator's attention. Then the engi-

A tunnel and a trestle near Riverside

who claim to be well informed think
that the senator has questions to ask
about these.

BARRIERS IN REVOLT.
Several Leavsnworth Shops Decide to
Keep Open Over Union Hours.

Leavenworth. Kan, Dec. 31-''We all
have families to support said ]. Z.
Payne, one of the boss BARRIERS who has
decided to leave the ranks of the union,
to a repor -er, land we found it impossi-
bic to make a living for ourselves and
those dependent on us under the early
closing rule
For the reason above stated by Payne
five of the boss BARRIERS belonging to the
local union have declared that they will
keep their shops open till o'clock in the
future.
When Payne was called on and asked
for particulars he made statement OF
the trouble which follows:
The small shops of the city who are
forced to depend upon the laboring classes
for their subsistence are those which have
found it hard to close at $50 O'Clock. The
hour is too early to allow the laborer to
come to the shop from work without
missing his supper.
THE men who own these small shops
met a week ago last Sunday and discuss
ed the matter from all points and We
then decided to make the request to be al
lowed to keep open until o'clock, the Did
regular hour of closing. Our request was
ignored. We had decided that in case our
request should be declined. we would keep
open shop. We have pledged ourselves to
the performance of this and we will keep
open"

New York, Dec. 31.-James J. JEFF

to cut out the bout. Jeffries thought
he had a right to exhibit his prowess
and beat his sparring partner. provid-

so long as the letter of the law was
complied with by the use of speak

The captain was in the audience at
the matinee. He decided that the bout
was contrary to law, and so notified
the managers of the theater He also
told JeffIies he would arrest him if
he appeared in fighting costume at the
evening performance.
Fearing arrest, the champion rescued
the heroine of the play and spared

coat, much to the disappointment of the
audience, who had settled back in their
seats to see a real old-time bout, with
all the sidestepping and vicious upper
cuts that Jeffries used in knocking
his way into fame. Jeffries was in
court today, but Magistrate Dooley
promptly discharged him, saying the
law hadn't been violated.

BRULARE Is RETIRED.
Aged Darden Mare Closes Remark
able Turf Career.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 31--Brulare,
W. w. Darden & Co.'S sturdy old cam
paigner, has gone to the races for the
last time. The daughter of Bradford
and Hard to Tell, now in her eighth
year, after five years under the colors,
during which time she raced continu-
ouSly, winters excepted, leaves the turf
to pass her remaining years in the
paddocks among the matrons of the
blue grass region of Kentucky. Though
her usefulness as a racing proposition
is not over, Mr.. Darden thought she
had done her part in making turf his
tory, and when the season closed in
the north Rrulare was retired to Mr.
Darden's farm in Kentucky, where she
will in future serve in the breeding
world
The retirement of Brulare will bring
to a close a most remarkable career.
She will be bred to Algol in the spring,
and the mating of these two animals,
both of which have been prominent in
turf history, lays the foundation for an
interesting story, which dates back to
Algol's babyhood. and which involves
the racing firm of W. W. Darden &
Co., the silent member of which is
Lacy Crawford, a millionaire of st.
Louis.
Algol, a son of Imp. Top Gallant
Equality, the latter by Ben dor, was
the first racer Will Darden ever owned.
He purchased the colt when q yearling
bidding 5000, at which price he was
knocked down to the Tennesseean.
Algol raced as a 2-year-old in the OAR
den colors, but was not the performer
then that he afterward proved in
John w. Schorr's colors The Memphis
brewer purchased a half interest in
Top Gallant's son from Darden, and 1t
was in Mr. Schorrs colors that all his
good races were run. When AlgoPs
racing days ended Darden bought the
Schorr interest and sent the morse to
the stud.
Along in 1900 Lacy Crawford, then
unknown to the racing game, took a
fancy to Brulare one day at the fair
grounds, after she had won a handicap,
and purchased her for 1000. Brulare's
victory was profitable to Crawford, as
he had bet heavily on her, and 1t was
this fact alone that tempted him to
buy the daughter of Bradford. Craw-
ford knew nothing about horses, and
after looking around for few days
for a trainer finally placed the mare
in viii Darden's charge, which was
practically the beginning of the firm
of w. w Darden & Co. Now, when
Brulare, Mr.. Crawford's first racing
machine, goes into retirement to be
bred to Algol, which was Darden's hrst
horse. it marks the mating of two ami
mails that were the first ever owned by
either member of a firm that has cut
quite figure in western turf affairs
