The Business Wo1nan's Problems.

Why the woman who works for a
living is usually more nervous and in
less eXuberant health generally than
the man who works, has been a matter
for much discussion in clubs and news
papers, and without any satisfactory
verdict having been reached, but there
are those who do not find it hard to
understand the phenomenon.
The nan who works usually does one
sort of work. He is a physician, a law
yer, or a clerk, and when he has closed
his office door for the day, if he is a
sensible man, he puts in the remainder
Of the time enjoying himself in what
ever way best suits him.
And the woman who wOrkS-Wel!,
she is usually jack of a dozen trades
and master of none
When she comes home from her Office
it occurs to her that there are a half a
dozen pairs of stockings to be darned-
and she sets to work forthwith on this
nerve-tearing work. When the stock
ings are finished, she is just as likely
as not to sew on the lace that the
laundress has ripped off a skirt, and
she goes to bed with her head aching
and absolutely unrefreshed.
In the morning she remembers that
there are a dozen little lace collars to
be Numbered, for they We're much too
fragile to go in the general laundry,
and that afternoon she gives over to
the "~doing-up" of these troublesome
little things, adding a couple of white
belts, three pairs of white gloves and
a veil to the pile.
When she has finished With these,
her back is aching, and she is glad to
lie down and read by the light Of a
distant and dim gas jet the afternoon
newspaper, thereby bringing on the
ills that come from eye strain.
She discovers the next afternoon that
her hair needs washing, and she spends
a good two hours at this hard work.
She doesn't feel that she can afford the
seventy-five cents or 81 that a hair
dresser would charge her for this SER
vice, and which the latter a do much

50 she expends strength that is worth
more to her than money, in half-doing
this work.
She manicures her own nails when
she should be taking a nap. and makes
shirt waists when she should be eXer-
cising in the open. She makes cara
mels by way Of fun. and fuses owe
them until she herself admits that she
is "half-dead."
She finds things for herself to do
that really needn't be done, and by
the end of the summer she is a limp
and nerve-racked RAG.
But I have to keep nice" she walls,
land I cannot afford to hire some one
to do my monding and to groom my
hair and nails"
1t is, indeed. a problem how the bust
ness woman shall manage, but, eve
theless, these are some of the reasons
why she who works for a living is
usually a thin and anaemic person,
who looks haggard and old before her
time.-Baltimore News.

With short skirts invading the ranks

instead of hi. ting an occasional long

another mistake even more encoun-

Overskirts to Be Worn,

There is every prospect that we shall
be wearing overskirts within the COM
ing year. The tunic skirt is being
doomed by the dressmakers, and since
many women have taken kindly to the
innovation, its success is fairly wel2
assured. The style is very becoming to
tall figures, but is not at all a happy
one for short or stout women.

no one but themselves know anything about

tiate the allegation that G. J. Smith could
not go to the precinct in which he resides
and be elected delegate to a county
municipal convention any more than he could
rise and fly to the top Of Mount Rainier. Mr..
Smith has been party bolter for years and

right to call himself Republican than to
call himself Socialist. The same condition

Mr. Stewart, like the other two men, have
not friend Under such circumstances, if
the governor of this state gives any credence
to their chirpings he is simply counting op-
position in King county which will cost him
many loyal supporters.
Who the devil is Kincade? is the question
that has been repeatedly asked about town
during the past week. Is he known to even
one in every one thousand Republican voters
in King county? IF not then what was the
object of appointing him to an important po-
litical office at the expense Of hard working

others who have asked for positions under

POLITICAL POT=PIE

Shortly after the recent senatorial contest

well known politicians, both of whom were
conspicuous characters in that rather re
markable legislative battle. 81 was walking

Saturday and met Senator John H. Wilson
After passing the pleasantries OF the day, we

tor G. F. Clapp came along. | spoke, as did
Senator Wilson, which was returned by Sen
ator Clapp. 1t was then party OF three and
knowing there was no good blood existing
between Wilson and Clapp, the situation for
me became very embarrassing and l began
to get them in a moving position. Senator
Wilson would not have it so and stood there
looking up and down Senator Clapp as if he
was looking for an article at a bargain coun-
ter Well said Clapp, after long silence
now that you have looked me over, what
do you think of me?' There are some things
in this world too insignificant to even think
of, snared Senator Wilson. That 1t was
high time for the statesmen to get IN motion,
and that, too, in opposite directions, was
plain to be seen, and to that end [ got busy
on short notice. "
do not get the idea too firmly fixed in
your head, even if Congressman Humphrey
should be put to sleep by the next biennial
convention, that Frank Brownell will have
that nomination all his way" said Sno-
homish county man one day this week $50
far as Snohomish county is concerned, II
Brownell is a candidate, he will be given
unanimous delegation, but there are other
counties in the northwest, and for Brownell
or any other candidate from that section to
succeed he must at least have the north
west combine unit in his interest
There seems to be no doubt but that the
Hon c. l. Roth of Whatcom is candidate
for the congressional nomination, and 1t he
succeeds in getting his own county to go to
the front for him, he will have powerful
leverage in his hands With the Whatcom
delegation for trading purposes, he would
not have much trouble in getting every vote
in the northwest, except Snohomish, and it
would be foolish for her to lay away. Now,
if King should defeat Humphrey for Brown
ell, she would be forced to go to Roth IN Or
der to protect herself. While at Olympia
Mr. Roth positively announced his intention
to become a candidate for one of the three
congressional nominations in 1906 and
know he has not changed his mind since that
time.

any attention at all to politics, it is amusing

If the governor should decide to appoint
George W. Dickinson one Of the railroad
commissioners, the Pie-NIaker is OF the opln-
ion that he will make no serious mistake Mr..
Dickinson evidently knows as much about
the railroad business as any other man in the
state, and there is no doubt but that he IS
eminently fair just and honorable in his
dealings.
The appointment of j. E. Frost as the third
tax commissioner, ice Easterday of Tacoma
and Tom Rockwell of Spokane having been
previously appointed, closes that chapter OF
the fight.
The railroad commissioners and the state
printer, the most important places OF them
all, are left for the last. -.he state printing
embroglo is headed for one of the biggest
scandals this state has ever had is the pre-
diction Of the Pie Maker
The Negro vote in Chicago created con-
sternation in Republican circles last Tues
day, by not standing up and being counted
for the Republican candidate for mayor,
when the Democratic candidate for the same
position had proven himself to be hundred
times better friend to them while on the
bench than had the Republican candidate
under similar circumstances. Had the Negro
vote stood pat for Harlan he would have de-
feated Dunno by good round plurality. The
Republican party in Chicago, and in fact, all
over the country, seem to think it has a mort
gage on the Negro vote and can foreclose the
same nolens volens, so far as the Negro is
concerned but the worm sometimes turns as
in Chicago last Tuesday, and he mortgagee
realizes when it is too late he was mistaken
in his last years bacon"
Generally speaking, the Negro voters OF
this country are always loyal to the Repub-
lican party, even when consistency to their
ownselves would demand they support and
vote for the candidate Of another party No
better example of this can be cited than in
the 1904 campaign in the State of Washing
ton, when the 1000 Negro voters went to the
rack and voted for Albert E. Mead almost to
a man in opposition to Senator George Tur-
ner who had been their true and loyal friend
not only ever since he had been in this state,
but even in the Southern states when it meant
something for white man to champion the
rights of Negro. They knew nothing of
Mead. He was total stranger to them and
they knew nothing Of his feeling for or
against the race, but for the sake of the Re
publican party they voted for him without
question. He was selected governor by
small plurality, so small that had the Negro
voters in body supported their friend
