seven though this particular girl had gone
to live with friends who treated her almost
like one of the family and gave her every
afternoon to herself from to O'Clock,
the comment that ran around the store
after she left was how could she do it,
Il am very much afraid that the New
York stores will not contribute many house
servants to Kansas. TIE fact is store life
was never SO pleasant to girls AS 1t is now.
Many things are done for their comfort
that We're not dreamed of twenty years
ago The hours are shorter, there are
more holidays, there are comfortable
lunch rooms and retiring rooms in fact,
the girls are treated with the greatest
consideration. They have pleasant COM
panionship and plenty of excitement. one
of these stores is really good-sized COM
munity in itself, which offers fine chance
for u girl to advance and get really high
wages. There are many women here who
draw from SIS to $50 week Few sales
men of experience get less than $40 or
$l2.
The husband question doesn't appeal
to girls as much as il used 10. l think. Most
of them like to flirt and get men to pay
them attention, but they are more cautious
about whom they marry A Western
farmer would have a very poor chance
with the average New York saleswoman,
and | would be the last one to advise her
to marry him, For one reason, she hasn't
the physique for hard physical labor. The
country girl who has been brought up out
of doors and has muscles trained to lift
and fetch and carry is the wife for farmer
especially a Western farmer-not the SLIM
wasted, narrow -chested shop girl
A woman who is interested in several
vacation societies and knows perhaps
as much about girls employed in the store
and in the factories as any one in New
York, said of the hopes of the man in
Kansas.
There is no power in heaven or earth
that will ever induce a shop girl to take
a place as servant. L have almost talked
my tongue out to induce some of them to
try it when they have been out Of work,
and never have l had the least success.
Even factory girls-and they work very
hard-will have none Of it, especially If
they have home.
"Once in a store, unless a girl marries,
always in a store, and there is no bait
know OF strong enough to get the girl out
of it. The American girl who lives in a
city will not be a servant. The position
doesn't accord with her ideas Of liberty and
equality and she won't take it--not even
with the chance of catching a farmer hus-
band thrown in.

WHERE DEATH rs PLEASANT.
Many TramTs Wh0 Take Their Last Sleep
on burning (uim Banks.

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Nov. death comes
in many forms in the anthracite mines of
Pennsylvania, but only one form is painless
and pleasant, and to only one the victims
go unconsciously. 1t is the death of the
burning culm bank.
Many times during the year is such a
death recorded when one of these great
culm banks is burning, The fire is not
seen in the daytime, and at night it shines
only with faint glow through the layers of
ashes which separate the live Goals from
the outer air.
To these burning banks tramps and other
unfortunates, forced to spend night in
the open air, go when the nights grow
chilly. The warm breath OF the culm lures
them on with promise of a warm bed
for the night, and they lie down to sleep
in the comfortable atmosphere of the bank
and never open their eyes again.
The noxious gases emanating from the
bank watt over them so softly that they are
soon asleep, and in many cases they never
awaken, being sufrccated during the night,

WORTH OF A PAPER.

Speaking of what newspaper
does for a community. L. :. Sen
ator Davis, of Illinois, says:
Every year. every local paper
gives from five hundred to five
thousand free lines for the benefit
of the community in which it Is
located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor in pro-
portion to his means, does more
for his own town than any other
man; he ought to be supported
not because you like him. but be-
cause local paper Is the best in
vestment a community can make.
1t may not be crowded with great
ideas, but financially it is of more
benefit than both preacher and
teacher. Today editors do more
for less pay than any man on earth.
Patronize your home paper, not rs
an act of charity but as an invest
ment.'

that foxes and wildcats still roam

fox hounds raised in that commun-

THE NEGRO'S TRUE FRIEND.

In direct contradiction to jim
Hayes and John Wise, we read the
following letter from j. b. RaynOr,
colOred man of Texas, who is
well educated and intelligent and
knows truly what he is talking
about. This letter was addressed
to President Roosevelt, on the
subject of THE Southern White
Man:
He is the true American, the
son of the patriots of 1916. and
he ~ brave. proud, dictatorial, and
loves and honors his women and
home, with a devotion which makes
him superior to all other races OF
mankind. Again, the Southerner
feels his superiority, because he
knows il, and he will not submit to
be ruled by any inferior race.
Again, the Southerner is the most
generous of men an is charitable
To fault, and cares nothing for
wealth, but loves honor with a de-
votiOn sublime. Again, the South
erner is the only man in the world
who truly knows negro iGiosyn-
crasies, and he knows how TO treat
and handle the negro. The South
erner is the negro's best and only
friend, and has done more and will
do more for the negro than any
other man living. All the land
that the negroes own in the South
they bought from the Southerner,
