An Honest Politician.

J. Il. Nelson, who recently pur.

Smith, Nelson 4 Co., at

Nelson was one OF those honest

ENERGETIC COLLEGE GIRLS.
Various Means by Which Young Ladies
Earn Schooling.

The various interesting means by
which college girls work their way
through college are described in an arti-
Gle in Public Opinion by Elizabeth How
ard Wesrwood, VINO tells an amusing
story of the feats of one daughter of

A member of Nassar's graduation
class, the daughter 81 :, ItmcagO capital
list, is noted for her generosity and
prodigal liberality. \ short time ago her
father. who is self made. began to fear
that his daughter did not appreciate the
value of money. She promptly wrote
demanding that her allowance be stopped
and set to work more as Il joke than
for any other reason to see just how
much she could do for herself. She had
spent several years in Europe when a
child and spoke French and German
with such ease that she always elected a
course in one or the other that might
prove a rebate on study expended in
other directions. Consequently she Sc.
cured several patrons in the city whom
she visited weekly to converse amiably
and instructively with their children in
whichever language they chose.
At home she had an excellent French
maid. whose operations she had often
watched with interest. She put up sign
announcing, Shampoo at % cents. Man
touring at 10 cents. --latest and most APP
proved methods. Buy book of tickets
and save money" She opened a boot
backing stand and impressed her lazy
roommate into service. They who had
formerly slept until getting any break
fast was a gamble now rose at dawn and
disposed of long rows of boots.

was an officer of an express company.
Weekly her laundry was franked home
that her dainty garments might not he

sested yet another industry. She became
a laundress of turnoverS and fine hand
kerchiefs. The 10-cent store furnished
the outfit at price that would have de
lighted the Salvation army, and she
made enough out of it to pay her bill at
the grocery stOre-representing many Il
college spread. 1t happened to be near il
basket ball game. She rented a sewing
machine and went into the flag business,
making 50 per cent. on each pennant.
At the end of the month she sent her
father an account of her career, which
so pleased that man--Ee had just won Il
victory over his board of directors-that
he came on and took her and her friends
to New York, where the time of their
lives was theirs for the asking. His
alarms were 50 successfully quieted that
he begged her to give up business for the
present and let him support her until She
finished college.
