WOMEN'S WAGES IN CHICAGO
Various Avenues of EN-
ployment.

Stenographers and typewriters re-
ceive from Sc. to SIS per week, the aver
age being $40. Good positions are only
open to girls who have had high school
education, as an understanding OF COM
position, good spelling and a quick, all
round intelligence are necessary equip
ment. The work in most offices is very
taxing. Bookkeepers receive about the
same pay as stenographers, business
college training fitting them for the
work. writes Ella Morris Kretschmar, In
Good Housekeeping.
Cashiers receive on an average SO
per week. The work is taxing, as great
speed is required in the discharge of
the duties. Saleswomen in first class
stores receive from IS to SIS per week.
Heads Of departments receive from $40
to $25-but such positions are not often
obtained, excepting as the reward OF
years of training in the department.
Dressmakers' apprentices do not re-
ceive any wages the first year and only
small wages the second year, after which
they are advanced according to their
Skill! until they: attain so per week.
One trained to the finest tailor work
may receive as high as SIS per week.
Milliners' apprentices must work year
without pay, after which they are ad-
vanced according to skill, good worker
receiving from IS to SIS per week during
the season. The rate OF wages paid to
milliners is high because their work is
not steady, some months Of the year. OF
necessity, being idle ones.
Telephone girls work from nine to
II hours per day in three-hour shifts,
with half-hour intervals of rest, the
wages being IS per week. In light man
ufacturing establishments (as necktie.
corset, skirt and shirt waist factories.
etc. women can make from So to 81
per week according to their swiftness,
the work being piece work.
While the foregoing figures are GER
tainly not dazzling, they may possibly
seem tempting to the small town or
country woman who knows nothing
about the expense of living in city.
She does not take into consideration the
daily item of car fare, the high price for
laundry work, the great wear and tear
upon clothes, the cost of such clothes
that will stand wear and tear, the I'M
avoidable extras" and finally the stag
gering cost of living.

DON'T WASTE
YOUR EXPERIENCE

We have some farmers and few
business men who have sold out and
moved several hundred miles to
engage in the same business. When
one has grown up to middle age in
any section he knows every man and
woman within miles of hiS'home. He
knows every road and stream and hill
and valley, he is rich in knowledge
that is useful to him there. In the
new location while the people are just
as good as those he left behind, he
does not know their peculiarities, he
does not understand the variations of
the climate, or tie characteristics OF
the soil and crops and is at a dis
advantage in hundred ways that he
has not taken into account. We are
free to say that there is not a great
deal Of difference in the profits of
farming. in favor of any special and
peculiar section over another. ASSum-
ing in a farm Of 160 acres owned by
the same man for thirty years to be
worth on the market $4,000 That
mans knowledge of that farm is
worth $4,000 and if he invests $4,000
from it's sale in land 500 miles away,
he has that $4,000 worth of knowledge
and experience to accumulate in his
new location. 1t is far easier to
adjust ourselves to conditions in a
section where we know everyone than
in new one where we are strangers
and where we were treated as
strangers. OF course, someone has
to settle up the new centuries and
others have to enter the sparsely
settled sections, but these should
rather come from among our young
men than from those who have
reached middle age and are now
comfortably situated on farms they
have known all their lives.

Yacht Made Of Paper.

Out of the sheets of an Austrian
daily paper an ingenious Viennese en-
gineer has lately constructed for his
own use a small yacht, Is feet long,
decked all over, and provided with a
centerboard. In the making of the
hull, deck, masts, sails and rudder
several thousand copies of the Journal
were used-each plank requiring no
fewer than $500 leaves-and enormous
pressure had to be employed before the
necessary solidity could be obtained.
The inventor has already made several
excursions on the Woerth See, and
even in squally weather his boat Is
said to have behaved admirably.

NOTHING STABLE IN CHILL.
Picture of the Republic Which Is Far
from Flattering or Com
plimentary.

Chill in the last seven years has had
no less than "a changes Of cabinets.
Some have lasted a few months, some
week and one lasted through one
night. The Chilians when they 60 to
bed never know under what govern
ment they will wake up. But they
don't care, says the Brooklyn Citizen.
There are five political parties, but
at the bottom Chilli is an oligarchy in
the hands Of the leading families. Fa-
voritism in it's rankest forms extends
to all departments of the government.
The post Office at Santiago, the capital.
Is entirely in the hands of women and
Is more like sewing society than q
public institution. Mails 60 wild and
only bribery or fattery can secure de-
cent attention.
The streets of Santiago are q cloud
of dust in the dry season and sea Of
mud when it rains. They are paved
with wooden blocks, never cleaned or
repaired, and riding over them makes
one think he is rolling on square
wheels.
There are still many open sewers
into which all sorts of filth are thrown
to lie az rot or to be carried by the
rains into the streets and dooryards.
The vice OF the working class is pro-
tracted drunkenness. Workmen are
serviceable on an average Of only four
days IN the week. The Mercurio Of
Santiago says that work in the harbor
was suspended about 80 days out of
140
The lower classes live like beasts
and have few needs beyond their drink
Hundreds upon hundreds of the holes
where these human beings house them
selves are of mud walls and floor, often
no windows and Enclosed gaps for
doors, a broken chair and a filthy mat
tress, few tatters for the family, q
little brazier of Goals now and then
on small wood fire, around which the
members of the family squat Indian
fashion. Water is considered harmful.
The death rate of Santiago is enor-
mous-in the neighborhood of 80 per
1000 inhabitants. The death rate
among infants is appalling, due largely
to the great number of illegitimate
births, which is 80 per cent for all
Chilli, and as high as IS in some
places.

NELS THOMPSON MEETS
A TERRIBLE DEATH

Just before daylight Tuesday morn
ing, as Mr. Hagan, cashier of the G.
& N. w. Ry. at this place, was passing
along the tracks between End avenue
and his office, he noticed what he sup
posed was mans shoe in the snow.
He picked it up and was horritied TO
find that it contained the foot of
man and attached thereto part of
mans leg. He quickly reported his
discovery and Investigation showed
that man had been killed on the
track. Portions of his body were
found at different spots between Iron
wood and Hurley. The head was
found near the bridge crossing the
Montreal river and one arm was
found in the Ironwood yards. After
gathering all the parts possible the
cOrOner'S Jury assembled before
Justice Thomas Wednesday afternoon
to examine witnesses and consider the
testimony. 1t was found that the
mans name was NelS Thompson; that
his home was in Wood county, this
state; that he came to town a few
days previous from camp in Michigan
that he bought some clothing and
few other things; that he became at
least partially intoxicated and that
when he left town it was with the
intention of going to Epson to work
in Shingle mill. 1t il evident he
became confused and either took a
train on the Northwestern and fell off
or wandered along the track of that
road and was struck by a passing
engine and ground to pieces. The
jury was unable to ascertain by which
train he was struck, but it is believed
that it was either the Monday night
limited or the Savon scoot. The body
was literally cut to pieces and parts of
it will likely never be discovered He
was man apparently about forty
years OF age and unmarried lion

Keeping pace with the industrial
growth in our schools. the foundation
of cur city has been an education. We
had the school house before the
factory. Money spent in fighting
ignorance, We think a we'll paying

intelligent men and women and a
prosperous community. A review of
the successful men and women of

The young people are making the
most of the beautiful skating upon

The pond is frozen over above the

but there is more than one among the
parents of these children and young
people that will breath easier and

Because the liver is
neglected people suffer
with constipation, biliousness, \
headaches and fevers. Colds attack
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. 1t is safe
to say that If the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedford's Black raught is 80
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without q rival az a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not q strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con-
stipation and may be taken by
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. It has an in
vigorating effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed-
fords Black-Draught removes the
dangers which lurk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright's disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for a
Csc. package of Thedford's Black
Draught.
