MARRYING A BEAUTY.

List to the wall of beautys husband,
says the Philadelphia Ledger.
What a lucky dog you are" said all
my men friends and relations eight
years ago when I married the most
beautiful and charming girl in the
whole neighborhood. They still think
me a most fortunate man-but they do
not understand.
Let me state first of all that my
wife and / are perfect friends, and
that the little ripples on the usually
smooth waters of married life which
occur are entirely brought about by
fussy though doubtless well-meaning,
individuals.
My troubles began in an apparently
very unpretentious way.
1t was my wish, and my wife's wish
also, that she should be married in her
travelling gown, for both she and
are-iike my income-of modest char
acter. But our wishes with regard to
the wedding dress were not respected
Each of our many friends said it
would be a downright shame for so
pretty woman to be denied a beau
tiful white marriage garment. OF
course, we gave way, for at such
times one cannot afford to act in op-
position to ones friends wishes. Had
my wife not been so pretty there is
not the smallest doubt that we should
have been permitted to have a much
simpler and more inexpensive wedding.
On returning home after the honey
moon we found that our little abode
was in perfect order, and that the one
maid-servant whom we had previously
or1o god a had diraOtah
ready to receive us.
Imagine. my disgust, however, on
discovering that a second servant was
on duty. 1t appeared that my moth
er-in-law, aided and abetted by numer-
Gus relatives and others, had taken up
on herself the task of engaging girl
number two, because she was quite
certain that the house was too big
and the staircases too lofty for one
girl to manage alone. 1t would be a
great pity, said my mother-in-iaw, if
my pretty wife were to have all her
looks ruined at the outset of her mar
ried life by a superabundance of house.

OF course, with a roomful of wedding
presents and in the first flush of we'd
ded bliss, 1 did not relish the idea of
making a family row, but, all the

all and sundry that, in my own af-
fairs, I intended to be absolutely mas

AS time went on, L found that my
wife's beauty made many persons
anxious to have her as friend and
adviser. She was invited here and
there, and begged to go to social
functions Of all sorts.
This continual going out to various
places made 1t necessary that she
should have a more liberal supply Of
dresses than would have been the case
had she been left alone more and al

WHY DO WOMEN EARN WAGES.

It would seem superf1uous, says
Vogue. to ask why women are wage
earners. But there is never day that
somewhere in this broad land a preach
err a workingman, statistician, or
college professor does not discourse on
the wage-earning woman as though
she were a perverse creature, indulg-
ing her fling at old-time conventions
and. in consequence, upsetting things
masculine in a way that is not only
hard for the individual man worker
10 bear, but which is also subversive
of fundamental props of the good old
time Whose fault is it that the wom-
an works? If it be a crime or a wrong,
she is guiltleSS, for mans laws say
she must not take her own life, and
her only choice is between that or en-
gaging in gainful occupation. She
works because her father was or is in
competent or a drunkard or unthrifty,
or what is known as a poor business
man, or because he married when he
should not have done so; or, along with
felloWmen, he carried the home indus
tries out of the home and made them
the activities of great factories. In the
last analysis it will be found that it
is always man who is to be blamed
0f any one should be censured) for this
latter-day entering of women into pur-
suits which men have labelled strict
ly masculine. For one thing the faith
ers of wage-earners are never coneern-
ed about whether or not the particular
business possibility is pre-eminently
feminine, the only consideration with
them being how it will pay? The faith
er will sympathize with the mourning
of his own particular craft over the
inroads of women, but the woes of men
stenographers and bookkeeperS from
the same source draw from him not a
throb of sympathy. If his daughter
can but make a comfortable livelihood
in either profession that is the extent
to which their affairs interest him.
lastly, man is in ninety cases out of a
hundred her employer.
The persiStency with which men crit
les insist upon regarding the woman
wage-earner as an inexplicable prob
lem is a discredltable reflection on their
common sense. Since the worker is
everywhere in evidence there is no diff
1iculty in observing many varieties of
her. The majority of women wage
earners give every indication of being
the victims of adverse circumstances,
and only the craziest imagination could
conceive that millions of women would
voluntarily toll in mills and offices
through summers blistering heat,
when trees and field flower, woods and
sea, seductively beckon to holiday MAX
ing; or that in the bitter weather of
midwinter they would brave the ter
rors of blizzard for less vital reason
than to keep body and soul together
This eternal discussion of the wage
Garner as a problem is. simply imbecile.
She is not a problem, nor a perversity,
nor anything other than the result of
a social evolution set in motion and
maintained by man himself, who sits
up, as is his won't and discusses as a
deplorable phenomenon what is in real
ity an inevitable result. 1t is about
time the preacher and the working
man ceased inveighing against the
wage earning woman. 1t is as futile as
it is silly.

A KISS ON THE SEASH0RE.

She was very pretty, says the New
York Times, and very young and very
sorrowful looking. and as Arnold saw
her sweet lips CULVER and a tear roll
down her cheek he felt an irresistible
desire to take her in his arm and kiss
and comfort her.
He had only known her a few days
and wondered how she would take it,
She would resent it probably, and
make him feel like a fool. And there
were two young women walking fur
Their down the beach
Arnold stopped to examine a shell,
but his eyes glanced stealthily at the
forlorn little figure sitting on a rock
a few yards away. She had not seen
him and he crept nearer.
Under his immaculate flannels and
faultless "chappie" attire there was al
most a woman's tenderness. Anything
in trouble appealed to him-stray
dogs, lost children, or pretty girl in
tears. He glared at the two young
women lingering on the beach and
muttered into his mustache an en-
phatic 'Confound it,"
The waves Tapped softly another
tear glittered in it's downward course,
and Arnold stood hesitating distracted
and uncertain. The young ladies had
encamped on the sands and were quite
hidden under their big sunshade.
A faint, piteous little sob.
Arnold strobe suddenly forward, and,
putting his arm around her, kissed her
tear-stained cheek.
What is the trouble?'' he asked,
gently.
And the little 3-year-old threw her
arms around his neck and sobbed:
.'Baby's losted! 90 nice man; 90 tate
baby home!"

WAYS OF BREAD-WINNING.

Every year there are added ways
by means of which women dependent
upon their own resources may earn a
comfortable subsistence. One woman
in Philadelphia folds circulars and
addresses wrappers in the daytime in
an office and furnishes a night force
in the same building with bottled milk.
She buys dozen bottles at time
and makes a cent and half on each.
Another woman works half a day
in an office building; takes out the
children of a sick woman in the after
noon when the weather permits;
watches the children of another fam
lily that goes to the theater every Sat
urday night, and accompanies the
same children to Sunday-school the
next day.
Another darns the socks of all the
bachelors in the block and takes a
sick woman's dog out every day for a
constitutional.
Another makes two trips to the
country every week to buy fresh eggs
and butter for several families in one
block.
Another goes every Sunday after
noon to pump wind for an organ in
a private residence.
Another is a harpist in a choir at
two services on Sunday and gives les
sons in dancing to children two even
ings in the week. >..
Another makes good income by
ascertaining from several steamship
companies the residences of people who
are going abroad and then going to
the places, where she assists in pack
ing trunks.
Another has a job of curling the
moi of 11t1r11hnr Of Nhi1Hran n a
neighborhood where she lives, and there
is another who homes razors for a
number of young men who are their

thing. I can now look forward to a
life of true ease"
One week later. as Witherby came
home from his business, by some sub
tie instinct that husbands acquire he
knew merely by looking at the out
side of the house that something was
up. He entered and made his way
rapidly to the kitchen, where his wife
was bending over the stove with a
very red face and a. careless air.
Has she gomez said Witherby.
Has the finest cook we ever had left
us?"
She has," said Mrs. Witherby, her
tears mingling with the chicken broth.
What was the matter? What ex-
cuse did she give?"
"She said" replied Mrs. Witherby
feebly, that she had too little to do"

WHERE DID WE GO, DEAR?

Where did we go, Dear, where did
we TO,
All softy, hand in hand,
Following the day
Into the dusk, away away?
The white dreams led down the still,

Down to the sea and over the sand:
Where did we go, Dear, where did we
go?
Where did we go, Dear, where did we
go?
The Loves, they called US by name,

The still, dim way along, along.
Alas, that ever home we came,
Home to the world now never the
same!
Where did we go, Dear, where did we
go?

ahead. Speaking of the work done
there. he said:
Il consider that at the bottom of all
the progress which has been made
! toward making Seattle the best known
! city in the Northwest. and turning to
. it vast trade, has been the ability of
the business people TO stand and work
together. The fact is that when there
was proposed any plan for the better
! nent of the conditions of the city, for
the attraction of trade or tourists. no
matter how many were the views, or
how divergent, once the matter was
brought down to a vote and a course
laid out for action, the people We're
thereafter a unit. Every one pulled for
success, and usually progress was made.
"Of course, it was the development of
the Alaskan trade which revived every
thing in Seattle, but when it was seen
that there was to be a great develop
rnent along those lines at once, the
Chamber of Commerce began to adver-
tise the city. There were many meet
ings and many methods, but it came
down at last practically to matter of
advertisement. The entire country was
flooded with pamphlets and other print
ed matter telling of the advantages of
Seattle as a shipping center. 1t was
shown that there were lines of railroad
and steamers to every point in the
world, and business men were made to
see that they could not hope to find
any better place than Puget Sound.
THE organization of the Information
Bureau was made as complete as pos
sible and connections were made all
over the United States for the distri- !
button of printed matter. OF course, !
there was a great advantage in the |
agencies of the railroads and steamship
but even in spite of these
the agents of the Chamber of Commerce
went everywhere and completed their
own arrangements, and the result was
that nearly every town in the country
heard of Seattle and all about its adj
Yantages. The next result has been
that there has been a considerable in
crease in business. The shipping has
increased wonderfully, and the general
conditions have grown quite
beyond any anticipation.
I'VE are firm believers in advertising
Some of the firms in the city sent OUT
thousands of the circulars to their own
customers, and any one who has not
seen Seattle for ten years would not

nard work of the business people that

CRANE FIGHTS
WITH A BURGLAR

James Crane, of the Honolulu Tele-
phone Company, had a sharp tussle
with pair of would-be burglars at his
home in KewaIo street, near Wilder
avenue, early yesterday morning. Mr..
Crane returned to his house about 2
O'Clock, and soon afterward he heard
some noises which caused him to look
out a window. He saw a man in the
rear yard and making a rush outside,
caught hold of him.
He recognized his capture as a negro,
but before he, could get a secure hold
he was surprised to see a second negro
rush up and second later was knocked
down by the newcomer. The two men
fled, and Crane raised the alarm and
summoned the police. No trace could
be found of the would-be burglars, but
Crane thinks he could identify them.
At about the same time report was
made to the police of the holding up of
Chinese on the railroad tracks where
they cross the rice patches in Palama.
The Chinese had only. few dollars,
which were taken, and his captors then
threw the Chinese into a rice patch.
The victim made his way to King
street and found a mounted patrolman,
to whom he told the story Two white
men were discovered by the officer and
taken to the station. The Chinese
could not recognize them, and they
were not detained
