II Go not see why woman could
as a man. II | should ever have 10
earn my own living | thins | should do
il in that way" A dainty brown-eyed
society girl. who is learning 10 run
her own machine al one OF the Back
Bay automobile schools. made this dec
laration the other day, and she knows
what she is talking about: tor although
she has only devoted few weeks 10
learning 20 be a chauffeur. with whom
her father thinks il safe 10 trust his
only daughter she has made splendid
progress, and can now run a machine
along the country roads with very lit
tie assistance.
Many OF the men employed in the
automobile shops say that they wonder
that more women have aot taken up
the idea. The pay of chauffeur is
good and most women Of ordinary in-
telligence could learn To run a car.
"Of course il might not be as easy
for woman TO secure such position
as il would be for a man. one automO-
bile enthusiast said But | believe
that a competent woman chauffeur
could make a good living"
So far as is known few women in
Boston who are learning 10 run cars
have machines of their own. and wO-
man who would take up automobilins
as a profession would have few COM
petitors.

The receipts of money from taxes
which Boston is receiving in these days
indicate a good degree Of prosperity
among the people and also show an ef-
ficient administration of one of the
most important city departments. CiIy
Collector Macdonald reports that re-
ceipts from taxes this year to Oct 81
amounted to SS,550S12S0. Adding to
this SG.314,S40.S6 collected from Mo-
1-3, and the total is $l4.S65, ,G53.GG. This
means practically three-quarters of the
collections on tax warrant of slJ,-
$4,000.
Last year for the same period the
collections aggregated $13 ,446, ,33l .33. or
70.S37 percent, on a warrant calling Cor
$lS.9S2 900
The above figures demonstrate that
Bostonians pay their taxes very
promptly. The work of collecting these
large amounts is arduous and calls for
good judgment on the part of the COLI
lector. City Collector Macdonald how
ever. has proven equal TO his task, ana
his department is one of the best or
ganizcd and smoOthest running in the
city.

STARTLING EXPERIENCE.

w. C. Laws, of this city, has Just re-
turned from Portland, and from among
many pleasant incidents Of his stay
there, tells the following: Having oc.
casion TO take a street car for the SUI
burbs, he stepped on board Of one just
as another man boarded the same car
from the opposite side. Both entered
the car and each sat down on the end Of
the same seat without particularly oh.
serving each other, until one Of two la
dies in the seat directly in front Of
them made the remark, why, they must
be twins!" Her companion acquiesced,
and Mr.. Laws looked about for the dual
identity referred to, and glaneing at the
man ON the far end of his seat, was
amazed to find his own exact counter.
part in the face and figure Of the other
man. The stranger was quick TO take in
the situation, and declared he felt as
though he were looking in mirror" The
gentleman at once fell to discussing a
resemblance, that by that time, had en-.
gagged the attention of everyone on
board, and after a half.hour ride and
conversation, the two separated with the
conviction that il not twins II was not
for want of mutual likeness that was
positively startling in its exactness in
every detail of personal appearance save
that of the garments worn.
