TYPEWRITER RECORDS.
Wonderful Work of Some Women
 Operators.


 Operators.
 Philadelphia North American
 Think of bonding out over 26,OOO words a day-of seven hours-on q typewriter.
 This means that 377l words must be written each hour, over sixty-two words minute, or over one second. The. average word consists of at least six letters, so that the speed at which the operators fingers must fly is little short of marvellous.
 such speed had been attained by Miss Mary E. Pretty, Philadelphia glri' who is employed in the Patent ofice at Washington. She is modest aoout her performance, and thinks 1t is not worth public mention. At the same time she has seized the iaureis n remarkable speed competition m pro gress for a considerable time Tn this country of speedy movement
 Miss Pretty established the first sneed record of note on the type writer. ..,. l.,
 Only a few years ago typewriters In the patent Ofice-the criterion or gov ernment work-were only requlred to
 oaintain an average of 5000 words a dav This standard was later increased in 1t 900 words, and 1t was found that in an emergency nearly twice that amount of work could be turned out py the more skillful operator.
 One day Miss Emma G. brasnears wade what was termed wonderful record by writing several more thou sond words A day than had ever been written. Then Mss Pretty applied her self to the task of beating it. Some months ago she found, at the and of a day of rapid wotk, that she had recorded 22,o00 words on her ma chine. A great many more than Miss Rrashears had been able to do. The gauntlet thus thrown down was not allowed to remain undisturped. Miss Olive B. Cameron or Iehnessee' aIso ernloved in the Patient Ofnce, begged away until she wrote 23,o00 words a dav and thus ecHpsed the record of Miss Pretty.
 This work was all the more remark | able for the reason that 1t consisted in copying a long specification wlth all Its technical terms and legal phrase oIogy. The department chiefs were as' tonished and warmly commend the fleet fingered girl from Tennessee. So the laurel wreath reposeo upor the brows of Miss Cameron, unt,i II was snatched, in october. by Mrs Margaret Cunningham, stenographei | and typewriter in the onice or th' | Supreme Court of New Jersey at Tren | ton.
 Mrs. Cunningham wrote 21.oss words in six and a alfhours, and was not a all fatigued by her work.
 The matter upon which she labore( was Justice Pitney's opinion in liti | gation that involved many millions O dollars, and 1t was of the utmost Inn portance that no error should occur fl transcribing.
 Eight manifold copies were needed and they made the work slower than | only one sheet had been demanded, ai considerable time was required for fix

 Mrs Cunningham learned typewriting

 office She writes by the touch system, and is so well acquainted with the ma- chine that she Is not obliged to look at the keyboard to find the letters. She is able to transcribe rapidly and cor rectly while talking upon a subject aI- together foreign to the matter before her.
 The loss of championship thus wres- ted from her by two fair competitors stirred Miss Pretty to a determine ton to do or die. A few days ago she sail- ed in, won back the laurels and estab- , lished new worlds record that will probably stand for some time.
 She wrote 26.400 words in one. day. beating Miss Cameron by 34oo words. and Mrs Cunningham by a substantial
 margin. Some of the clerks about her desk say that she did not appear to work very hard at that. Miss Pretty asserts that rapidity Is | only a question of practice. She was not inconvenienced by her burst of speed. although extraordinary efforts
 at the Patent Office frequently result in
 the temporarily crippling of fingers and
 wrists.

 Thus the years passed and tbe friendship of the parents. was A noth ing compared to the love of the uRe White RAse and David.

About the Dayton home there crouched among the shrups, many savage forms torch flashed and the war-whoop that followed made the night hideous. Every red devil was up and ready. The sarcastic laugh of an Indian maid pro- duced a calInness, the effect of which gave White Rose full control.
