snsed ot tne PrsIrIe chicken.

That a pralrie chicken flies with
Sufficient speed propel Itself
through heavy plate glass was proven
by a recent incident at the little town
OF Wolsey, Beadle county
Prof Shepard Of the village school
in the discharge Of his duty, rang tho
school bell, when a couple Of prairie
chickens that had taken refuge in the
school house tower from storm were
frightened from their place of refuge.
Trey flew as straight ald swift as an
arrow for the plate glass front Of a
business house. The glass was i've
eighths of an inch In thickness, but,
oge Of the prairie chickens went
straight through it as though It were
paper, and dropped dead on the floor
inside the building at a distance OF
about 20 feet from the window Tie
prairie chicken went through the
plate glass with sufficient force TO cut
a hole six inches In diameter IN tho
heavy glass. minneapolis Tribune.

HER SCISSORS ANp HER HONOR.

A New York magistrate did right in
justifyng before the law Jennie Kbtz,
who rather violently defended herself
against the man who attempted famil-
iarities with her as she worked at her
bench in a tailor shop. truthfully re-
marks the observant Kansas City
World
But the magistrate was in error
when he said that the principle under
which the girl acted was "unwritten
law" 1t has been written in a thou
sand English and American decisions
Il is a serious thing to stab a man
with scissors. but it is a woman's
right in the defense OF her honor. and
her honor includes the dispensing OF
her kisses as she sees ft.
A girls honor is just as sacred a
thing in the mtanest workshop as it is
in the most elegant drawing room Of
different world The environment
differs, but womanhool is the same
The finest lady in the land has no
better right to cherish her fair name
than has the humblest working girl,
who-God help her!-has so little else
to cherish.
The poor girl at the tailor's beaoh
is hedged around by no strict conven-
tious; she stands upon no social ped
estal above the level of vritAr insult;
she may have no honest father or
brothers to protect her; she has only
her scissors-and glory to her that
she used them well in the sacredest
cause a woman ever knows!
1t is becoming far too common
thing for men TO forget their chiyalry
toward women who work for their
living among them
II Is a good law that the girl whose
honor is attacked shall defend it the
best she can.
Il is law that is not unwritten
II is recorded in a thousand decis.

The Woman Maae Earner.

There seems TO be conclusive evi-
dence that the entrance Of woman into
the field Of industry has not been an
economical success; and that, for wo-
man herself, It has had mischeyious
physiological consequences. A special
committee appointed in New York to
inquire into the condition OF 100000
families, each Of which was dependent
on woman's earnings, reported that
these earnings did not exceed. on an
average. go cents day. AS for the
effect OF work outside of the home IN

tics collected by the Massachusetts, Bu-
reau OF Labor indicate that her consu-
tuition is so m adapted to mems work
that her choice of occupation should be
legally restricted. -Harpers Weekly.
