That is too simple a classification

reaches the age when she first sees
something serious in life she realizes
all at once that joy and pain and

one to find herself with the other in

opens her heart to people and to things

hurt, and she stops and says to herself:

A LADY was just going to sleep
~ at night in her handsome sub
urban home. It was luxuri-
ously furnished and had in the
dining room much silverWare. The
lady's personal jewels were also valu-
able. Nobody was in the large, iso-
lated house except the lady and her
maid. She thought she heard rus
Ting noise just as she was doing off.
1t brought her to her wideawake senses
at once. She arose and investigated,
but thought her dogs were making the
noise and went back to bed. Presently
she heard a low whistle. Il am sure
herself. She arose softly and went
into the hall. On the floor below she
saw a light. She slipped back and got
a revolver It was loaded too The
brave woman went lightly downstairs
to the Kitchen and found a man just
in the act Of escaping with a great bag
Of plumber. She fred, and he dropped.
He was not killed, however, and man
aged to crawl through the door. and
before the police could come had got
away, with the help Of pal outside.
In the yard was big sack full Of the
household silver. The outside pal had
dropped it. Another new woman ex-

women should follow. Let women
learn to protect themselves and their
homes even to the extent of putting

Then desperadoes Of all kinds will be-

There will be fewer lynchings when
women assert the courage that is in
them and become able to take care Of
themselves. Pistol practice, athletic
culture, cool head and dauntless cour-
age are needed by women now Is they
never have been since Indian times.
None is so we'll protected as those who

So, after all, it seems, the objection
to women immigration inspectors at
New York was not that they were IN
able to climb ships ladders, as alleged
by the male political tooters who want
Ell everything for themselves. After
the immigration commissioner had sue
cecded in working the women out,
pressure was brought to bear on him,
so it is said, from a quarter where
there is a sense of justice and decent
courtesy, and after some squabbling
and quibbling, the latter evidently to
save official dignity, women were put
back in the immigration INSPECTION
service, actually to board ships as
though there Lad never been a doubt
Of their ability to do so. But they are
no more called inspectors, look you.
That is title only to be appropriated
by the trousered, voting sex. Now the
women who go down the harbor and
board the ships are to be called only
humble ''matrons'' and their Office is no
longer to inspect women immigrants
landing as strangers in the rayening
wilderness of New York, but only to
guide and protect" Dear, dear! Who
would not be a man and be endowed
with the noble masculine reasoning
power?

LINDEN SHOWING
 GREAT PROSPERITY
RESIDENCES AND BUSINESS HOUSES BEING ERECTED AND IS PROPOSED SOON TO HAVE A BANKING ESTABLISHMENT.

Linden. December 19.-(Special. )-Visit- ors are impressed with the enterprising spirit manifested by the citizens of this little town.
 A branch of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad, extending from Selma to Myrtlewood, reached Linden a little less than two years ago, and since that time the town has steadily grown. About thir- ty residences, some of them elegant struc- lures, have been erected, besides three hotels, fifteen business houses, one cotton warehouse. three saw mills, one blaming mill and one cotton seed oil plant, valued at $75,00O. A handsome court house has been recently finished at a cost of $65, ,000 and a large and convenient hotel, con- taining about twenty-five rooms, has been recently built near the court house.
 A lot near Court Square has been se- cured for Presbyterian church. and it is expected soon to see a handsome house of worship erected. There seems to be no end to the building of houses. There are now two residences and one business house being built.
 The Linden high school seems to have taken on new life with the town, and has increased in number to nearly a hundred pupils. The school is now being taught in the old court house. The peo- pie now realize the great necessity for a banking business, and already such an enterprise is in contemplation. In fact, the lot has been selected for the bank building. and it is expected to see such a building erected as soon as the brick for it shall have been manufactured.
 fersons who have not visited the town within the past three years would hardly recognize it the town they once knew as Linden
