Animals In India.

American and European visitors to
India are always amazed by the fear
lessness of wild animals throughout
that country. Nowhere else ia the
world do they trust and disregard
mankind so thoroughly. Herds Of deer,
grazing only a few yards OF, scarcely
turn their heads 10 look at a passing
train, and fiocks OF water birds In
pools by the roadway are undisturbed
by passersby. Wild antelopes will
come up and eat out OF the hands Of
the natives.
This remarkable tameness is due to
the fact that the Hindoos have never
cared for hunting. Most animals are
sacred to them, and practically all ami
mails are safe from them.

TELL WHY RAILWAYS
Bar WOMEN CLERKS
Officials Say Order Against En-
ploying Girls Is Because Places
Are Not Suited to Them.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
Recent orders of railway officials that no
more women are to be hired stenog
raphers or clerks are causing much discus
sion among the fair sex. Some railroads will
continue to hire women, others will not dis
charge any now in service, but will not
hire more, while others will not employ
women at all. Here are some of the opin-
ions expressed by railway officials on wom-
en- as employees:
woman is all right in her place. but that
isn't in a railroad Office says President
Underwood, of the Erie lines. I'VE won't
dlscharge any women now employee as
stenographers, but as fast as they marry
or quit for other reasons we VIII MI their
places with men,
Women undoubtedly exercise a good in
fiuence in an office" said General Auditor
Sturgis, of the Burlington system. They
do not swear, use tobacco, go TO saloons or
tell office Secrets.
Get rid of all the women on the pay roll
and put men in their places" was one of
the first orders issued by Horace G.. Burt
when he became president of the Union Pa
cifc system. "A woman in railroad office
cannot be promoted above a certain posi-
ton, and from that time on she only blocks
the way of young men. l do not know OF
any office work that cannot be done better
by men than women, and I'm not in favor
of hiring women just because they Will work
for less money"
There are times in every well-regulated
railway Office when sufficient number of
'cuss words must be used, and it might be
hard to get a pretty young lady stenog-
rapher out of the way before the explosion
occurred" laughingly remarked a general
manager of a Western railroad.
My experience has been that women are
better as stenographers than men, declared
an Eastern general passenger agent. They
are heater in their appearance and their
work, are more attentive to their duties,
and don't waste as much time.
women are all right in auditing and pas
senger. departments, where a lot of clerks
are necessary for routine work and promo
tions and changes are few, but they have
no place in the operating department of a
railway" said another Western general
manager I'VE have a number of women
employed as station agents, but usually
because they are wives widows or daugh-
tiers of men injured or killed in the service
of the company l think il was mistake
ever to adopt such a policy, for many of
the duties of a station agent are not easy
or pleasant for women. l believe the prin-
cipal reason why women are hired in rail-
way offices is that they will work for less
wages than men,.

DAUGHTER BECAME "BOY"
TO FILL BROTHERS. PLACE
Mrs. Thorpe, Who Died Recently,
Tried to Fill Place of Boy
for Her Father.
WAS CODYS DAUGHTER

ROCHESTER, n. ", Feb. 2s.-"Never
mind, papa: I'll be your boy"
When little Arta Cody, who recently died,
eldest daughter of Col. William Cody, best
known as Buffalo Bill" spoke these words
TO her grieving father she just thirteen
years old Her Brother, Kit Carson Cody,
a young lad and Colonel Cody's only son,
had died and but recently been buried at
Rochester. n. Y. In the cemetery plot be-
side him Mrs. Arta Cody Thorpe was laid
TO rest this month by the father who was
to weep again.
The little girl of past years kept her
promise wonderfully well, her father feels.
and while she sought to vivify the vanished
manliness, the lost graces and sympathies
of her brothers character. developed a per-
sonal1ty Of her own so distinct and womanly
that the taking away of herself is double
loss and not duplicate bereavement to
Colonel Cody.
In all her thirty-six years she never gave
me a moment of sorrow, of concern or of
Inconvenience" said Colonel Cody to a
friend this week. Her death is a great
blow TO me-"
Splendidly developed physically and near
ly as tall her father. Mrs. Thorpe not
only reSembled her father I'm appearance
having his marvellous dark eyes and dark
hair, but she was like him in spirit She
had his fearlessness, decision and GOODNESS.
Her skill at ball shooting won applause that
echoed his own. She could handle any
horse. Withal she was well educated and
cultured, having had advantages in this
country and abroad.
An incident that illustrates the child's
efforts to fill her brothers place was re-
lated by a friend of Colonel Cody's to-day.
When Arta Cody gave her father her prom
Use TO be boy to him, he answered sadly:
But l want somebody that can shoot"
II could shoot, If you'd get me a gun"
she declared stoutly.
"All right, tell those Omaha people to
send you a gum agreed Colonel Cody.
Then he went away on a tour, expecting
little
:In the fall he returned. The morning
he arrived in North Platte he feeling
decidedly under the weather. Nevertheless
he consented to shoot 1o) balls with Sheriff
