" VERY now and then a cry comes
from Paris that hips will not
be worn this season. or that
slenderness is TO be the proper

there never comes a cry for flat-chest-
ed, stoop-shouldered women. Whatever

is always left strictly alone, for she
knows full well that such a woman is a
woefuily poor model for her to hang

Now, every once in a while it chances
that a girl is good to look upon. but
her chest expansion is not what II

Few women realize the Importance
OF this. They wear corsets all day long,

cramps certain organs, but prevents
the taking OF a full breath at the

not know that the pure air never

-, DON'T want to stay on this
earth after 1 have outlived my
enthusiasms," said a. bright,
ambitious young woman the
other day. Let us hope that life will
deal kindly with her. and that her
pluck and courage will be sufficiently
abundant to satisfy this desire. But
the cold fact is that multitudes Of per-
sons have outgrown their enthusiasts,
If they ever had any. They have lost
their relish for life. They have become
routine men and women. Even that
disagreeable adjective blase fits some
of them. And yet sometimes you find
living in the same house with them,
working in the same office, men and
women whose hearts are not extinct
craters in which repose the cinders and
ashes of former hopes and desires. For
them every day is new beginning;
life to them is no treadmill, even
though they are chained to routine.
Expectancy, eagerness, ardor are writ
ten in the lines of their faces.
What is the secret of this perpetual
enthusiasm? One cannot easily with
stand the enthusiasm Of a crowd. Even
unresponsive natures are stirred by a
great political convention hurrahing
for its candidate or by splendid mass
meeting in the interests Of some great
reform or missionary enterprise or by
a Jolly college reunion. But such ex-
citing occasions come but infrequently

MINERS FAIL TO AGREE.
Second Joint Conference at Pittsburg
Without Success.

Pittsburg, Kas., July $50 far all
attempts of the miners and operators
in session here to agree on a wage
scale have failed, but now as the
miners have made a concession which
they think the operators ought to
meet, it is thought a compromise will
be reached satisfactory to both sides.
For the second time since the miners
and operators opened their conven-
ton here joint conference was
held this morning. 1t was for the
purpose of hearing the report of the
joint scale committee.
Many operators who had gone to
their homes arrived on night trains,
in response to kilograms, and at 9
o'clock, when the joint session con-
vened. the operators were well repre-
scented.
The joint scale committee reported
that they were unable to agree on GER
tain vital points, and asked the joint
convention for further instructions.
The forenoon was spent in arguing
points at issue, and finally at noon,
when the, convention adjourned, the
matter was referred back to the joint
scale committee, with instructions to
try again to reach a settlement.
All afternoon a contest waged in
the committee room but no agreement
was reached. Meantime the miners
met in convention at the city audi
forum to discuss the situation, and
the operators held an informal ses-
sion at Hotel Stilwell to discuss mat
tiers.
