WOmauly Women.

Even the frivolous, trivial, cheerful,
good hearted and almost "extingush-
ed" woman is more in her sphere than
the loud, bumptious. virile woman
whose theories attempt to divert wom-
an from the path of peace and devotion
which was traced out for her by Prov
idence.
| readily admit that women are val
liant, gifted with prodigious energy.
that their power Of endurance Is great
er than ours, that they know how to
die quite as courageously as men. If
not more so.
In the time of the Christian martyrs
they encouraged men to come with
them to the lions; in the Reign of Ter
ror they assembled the steps Of the
guillOtine with Il firm step and even
begged to be beheaded when their hus-
bands. lovers or brothers were con-
demned. Not only do they know how
to help men to suffer.
Yet. see what a strange creature man
is. | rather like woman who Is
timid; | love the one who, In a cab,
takes hold of my arm as If to seek my
protection In case the horse ran away
or the carriage met with an accident
Indeed, feel quite grateful to her
for the little compliment she pays me
in taking it for granted that l should
be able to protect her in danger; 1t Is
n little passive homage rendered by
one sex to the superiority Of the 9th
er. 1t is true that this superiority only
exists in convention and brutal force;
but the world is governed by conven-
ton and brutal force.

one on whose shoulder | could put
my head without bending my legs. The
sympathetic. womanly woman appeals
to me.
Provided she Is pretty and cheerful.
and her heart is in the right place,
though she may be unable to discourse
on "Evolution," or solve problems of
analytical geometry, Sphere trigonom-
etry and celestial mechanics, she Is
good enough for me. Man lives by his
head but woman lives by her heart.
| forget who said that there are only
two kinds Of women whom men care
to associate witl-those who are SYM
pathetic and those who are brilliant.
Yes. but with this difference; you can
endure the presence Of the latter for Il
couple Of hours: you can enjoy the
company OF the former forever and
ever.-Exchange.

Idle Conversation.

When will women in business realize
that nothing is more disturbing to
a busy man than the idle cOnversa-
ton many women indulge In during
business hours! Such conversation
wastes both time and money and
makes her an unmitigated nuisance
more than anything else.
AS matter of fact. it Is not easy
to find taciturn woman. according to
the Baltimore News. 1t is almost i'm
possible to discover one who, given
sufficient prOvOcation, will not tell the
story Of her life to a sympathetic per-
son, when she should be writing let
solitary woman will put whole of
flee to confusion by an untimely word
here and five-minute conversation
there. The women who have been sue
cessful in the business world have
been the few who knew when to hold
their tongues, and where.
There are women who avow them
selves able to talk while they work,
and to do task as well to an accom-.
paniment Of chatter as they do in a
profound silence. but they will be
lucky If they can induce their employ.
ers to believe this. And, indeed. it is
not true, for no one can do two things
at the same time and do them WELL
The woman who wants to succeed in
business, then. must take lesson in
keeping quiet before she will be re-
garded as an acquisition to an office
in which men are employed.

Farm Labor.

Many of our farmers find great diff
f1cuty in securing hands to gaEhe1
their crops after they have been
raised
One great trouble is that factories
give much larger compensation to
their employees and require fewer
hours of labor. 1t is therefore natural
that an ablebodied man should prefer
to go where he gets more pay for less
work. Even the farmer boys are
with difficulty kept upon the farm
They tire of the schedules run upon
SO many farms; getting up at a.
M; working until IL M; going back
to work at 1 u. M; stopping when it
gets too dark for any more work /;
feeding the stock or cleaning the sta
BILE after dark; eating supper between
z and s p. m; then, too tired for read
ing or any of the pleasures of the
family circle, going to bed, to awake
next morning to the same weary round
of duties.
Will not the use of up-to-date farm
implements make it possible to do SO
much more work in a day, that the
hours for labor may be shortened and
the farmer then stand a better chance
to compete with the factories in hir-
ing competent hands?
We throw this out as a suggestion,
which our farmers may think upon
and accept or reject, as in their judg.
ment seems best

Northern markets.

But John Shelton Williams became
too greatly extended" A list of the
enterprises in which he is interested
reads like a catalogue of half the I'M
portant Industries of the South. To
conservative railroad men he was
plunger. They considered it brilliant
but almost too daring for him to think
of making great system out OF the
Seaboard when his backing was es
limited. Besides, his railroad hurt
other railroads in which New Workers
had direct interest.
They fought him. On account OF
some of Williams mergers expensive
litigation was started by Thomas Z
Ryan, ostenslbly representing Phila-
delphia capital. but said by others to
represent J. P. Morgan. After two or
three years in the courts the case
was compromised and Williams gained
his po1nt.
Later J. P. Morgan had consolida-
ton in view. He wanted to form
Southern Securities Company, similar
to the Northern Securities Company
The Louisville and Nashville was to
be bought from John W. Gates This
was to be united with the Southern
Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line and
the Seaboard Air Line. Everything
went through but the deal with the
Seabeard. Williams opposed the plan,
and in the battle for votes he won
against the Morgan interests This
did not please Mr.. Morgan. Neither
was he pleased when young Mr.. Will
liams expressed satisfaction at the de-
olson of the Federal Court declaring
the Northern Securities Company IL
legal.
After Mr.. Morgan had been beaten
by Mr.. Williams in the struggle for
the Seaboard control he offered $35 a
share for the common stock. This
was refused. Last week it sold for SIS.

ed by Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co OBJ
tanned control of the Seaboard from
the voting trust which has directed
its affairs. The purpose of the move
was to sell the road to the Rock Island
Frisco interests. This deal fell
through. It is not known what the
exact terms were, but it is said the
transaction would have prevented
financial troubles for Mr.. Williams.
Lately these troubles have come to 9
climax. It is denied that Mr. Morgan
is trying to even scores with Mr.. Viii
liams. The latter is said to have pro.
jeetsd improvements for the Seaboard
which he was unable to finance His
bankers called for more margins: they
were put up, bat the calls continued
until the ability to margin was ex
hausted through the fall IN the prices
of securities. The banking houses Of
J. William Middsndorf & Co. of Balti
more and John L. Williams & Sons o.
Richmond were forced to plead with
their directors for leniency. Their as
sets are said to exceed their liabilities
by large amount, and the working
efficiency of the Seaboard is not i'm
paired by the embarrassment.
As for John Shelton Williams, it il
said that brilliant young fnancier viii

man to stay down long and in addi
