WORKING GIRLS CHANCES.
CHOOSE CONGENIAL OCCUPATION
THEN HOLD FAST no THE
FIRST GOOD JOB.
1t is Not the Kind of Work but the
Manner of Working That Brings
Forth the Dollars.

"It is not my speciality, madame
said the little French milliner who had
just. finished a beautiful beruched hat
for me, when I asked her to make one
of those pretty mousseline shoulder
ruches and she would do nothing out
side her specially. So 1t is in all the
big cities where women flock to make
a living or a name; whether In Paris,
London, New York, Chicago, San Fran
cisco, n must have ones highly per
fected speciality in order to win eTen
moderate recognition.
Don't scatter" is the very best adj
vice to the girl worker. "Oh, I know
how to do ever so many things" says
the latest entry on the books of a big
employment agency.
Can you cook" asks the manageress
with breathless eagerness.
YES" is the reply rather shame
facedly.
Cooks"
But, I don't want to cook. I've been
through our academy and I've gradu-
ated in all the latest accomplishments.
Besides, I've come up to the city to
make money-a lot of money"
you'll make a lot of money II you'll
cook" says the manageress in her take
my-advice tone. "Why, any girl that
can pretend to cook, if she don't know
a souffle from a hoe cake can make
more money in this town than a whole
class of academy graduates with ten
accomplishments apiece"
1t is not the kind of work, but the
manner of working hat brings in the
dollars.
A girl of twenty-three, thrown sud
denly on her own resources, made the
lives of her friends miserable by a
constant cry of what can 1 do?" A
yellow streak of snobbishness made 1T
all the more difficult to help her. With
out even facility in writing, she begged
assistance in becoming a paid con-
tributor to a scandalmongering news
paper. Fortunately, she lacked as
much in perseverance as in literary
ability. Her next venture was in
trained nursing; but. being placed in
the colored ward, her southern pre-
JUDGES drove her out of the hospital
just three days later than her date of
entry. From a spasmodic effort to ac-
quire a knowledge of stenography, she
set out on a quest for a place as nurs-
cry governess. A practical friend met
her just after her first rebuff, and
much against her will pushed her into
a situation in a fashionable millinery
establishment, at So a week. Now it
developed that trimming hats is that
girls gift.
1t usually takes about three years in
the workshops of the swell milliners
to arrive at the degree of proficiency
which commands a salary of $50 per
week, but the girl in question made
hats for her friends evenings. Her
friends sent their friends, and inside of
a year she had saved enough to take
a trip to Paris during the summer.
She bought not a single model but
gathered Impressions, went back to
New York, rented a couple of rooms
in a side street between the shopping
and the residence sections. dropped a
little note to each of her patrons saying
she had taken a flyer abroad-and the
rest was easy.

STORY OF SECRET OATH ADMINISTERED TO
GOV. YATES IS JUST GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC

Springfield, Ill, Jan. Sit is doubt
full if some of the state officers in
Springfield will ever forget the day,
four years ago, when Richard Yates ii.
became governor of Illinois. Ii is GER
ain Gov. Yates will not. No arrange
ments had been made for the presence
IF the justice of the supreme court,
and. although Justice Cater was in
the city. there was no member of the
,ourt at the Inauguration. The alb
sence OF the required officer of the law
vas discovered at the last minute. and
not knowing of the presence of Jus
ice Carter. Judge Elbridge Hanecy oi
Chicago was invited TO administer the
path
Some time during the afternoon the
,oint was raised by one of Gov. Yates

hours the subject was thrashed over
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1905-01-09

Midnight came, and still it was un-
settled.
Finally Gov. Yates resolved to send
for Secretary of State Rose for a con
sulration. When Mr.. Rose arrived the
governor informed him of his dilem
ma. MIR. Rose promptly picked up the
statutes, which had received careful
examination during the evening, and,
turning TO that section providing for
administering the oath of Office, point
ed out that he could adjust the matter
by swearing in the governor as the
secretary of state is one of the officers
authorized for that service The gov
ernor finally agreed that this would
be the simplest way out of the yexing
situation, and sitting down at his desk,
rapidly wrote out the oath. 10 which
he affixed his name. The secretary
of state attested the signature, and.
taking the oath, filed it away in his
office, where it remained a state secret
until yesterday afternoon, when the
public learned of it.

PEABODY WILLCONTEST
WoIcott Republicans Use Ap-

ed: Adams, 123.07s; Peabody. 49,.

A cheer greeted the announcement
of the result of the election when
made by Gov. Haggott. The republl-
can candidates to all the other state
Offices were declared elected. Under
the terms of the agreement reached
by the various factions in the legisla-
ture no notice of contest can be filed
by Gov. Peabody until after the inaug-
uration of Mr. Adams. which is set for
10 O'Clock tomorrow morning. Ii has
not yet been definitely decided by Gov.
Peabody whether or not he will make
a contest.
Real Fight for Supreme Court.
Throughout the entire struggle for
the governorship the chief aim of
both democrats and republicans has
been to secure the appointment of two
new judges to the supreme court. The
question of whether Peabody or Adams
sat in the governors Office was a sec
ondary matter. The Wolcott republi-
cans were insistent in their demand
that they be recognized in the ap-
pointment of the judges. and it was
finally agreed that the appontees
should be George w. Bailey. of Fort
Collins and l.. NJ. Goddard of Denver.
The Wolcott men made a strong fight
for Judge NJ. e. Leads. of Colorado
Springs, whom they preferred to God
dard. but they finally gave way.
Peabody Wrathful.
When the republican leaders called
upon Gov. Peabody to inform him OF
the conclusions they had reached and
to tell him that his only hope of a
second term lay through a contest in
the republican legislature, they were
met by a wrathful and indignant
man. He refused to accede 10 their
wishes. and for four hours his friends
labored with him. II was only the per-
sonal pleadngs of some of his closest
friends that finally induced him To-
agree to the plan proposed and TO send
the names of Bailey and Goddard to
the senate for confirmation
Democrats VIII Fight.
Denver. Colo, Jan. 9.-The demo-

its close declared that they would fight
the nominations to the supreme bench
of Bailey and Goddard with all their
power. They claim. morever, that
with the republican senators Campbell
and De Long voting with them they
will be able TO prevent confirmation.
The republican leaders declared that
they had received personal pledges
from enough senators to insure the
confirmation of the two men. They
were not overconfident OF the issue.
however and admitted that there
would be a struggle.
