A Just Rebuke.
The cartoonist of the Jacksonville
Metropolis ought to be shot. He was
probably only half shot when he drew
the picture that disfgured the front
page of that paper of the 18th. It
represented a female at a railroad sta
ton. waiting to welcome the Presi-
uent, whose train is just coming into
sight Said female is labeled The
South" She has a head of hair which
looks like the insides protruding from
a disembOweled moss mattress. Her
face is hOmely enough not only to stop
clock but the coming train. She
bears in her arms a big bunch of
something that looks like coffee weeds.
If President Roosevelt met such a
scare-crow, and had reason to think
IL represented the South, he would
turn his train around and scoot for

mo men clerks need apply" This dictum
has gone forth from three great insurance
companies, the largest employers of clerks
In New York City, who In the last few
years have been filling their Offices with
young women accountants, bookkeepers,
copyists, etc. So satisfactory have the
women proved in every clerical capacity
that male clerks are not wanted any more.
Not only have most of the leading life in
surance companies gone in for the woman
clerk, but business houses, large and small,
up and downtown, are employing women in
positions once considered as lying exclu-
sively within the sphere of the young man.
The male clerk is being forced out His
field is narrowing year by year. Employers
recognize this fact and admit It; but they
suggest no alternative, no remedy. 1t all
evolves simply into this proposition: A
woman is Just as skilfuii as a man clerk
and more so in many instances. AS a gem
eral rule she is more careful. more faith
full. more honest-and she doesn't drink.
You hear such statement as this wher-
ever women are employed; and a still
greater reason for employing clerks OF the
fair sex is given-they will work for much
less money After all, that is the main
thing.

INC Debutnnte season.

Debutantes are unusually plentiful this
season, reports the New York Sun. What
is more, debutante teas have taken a new
lease of life and seem to be highly favored
by men. This is contrary 10 the predictions
made a few years ago, when it was de-
clared that the debutante tea had had its
day.
At that time other means were sought
to introduce young women to society, and
debutantes said with dignity. mo, am
not going to have a formal coming out.
Mamma thinks II is more elegant for me
simply to go about with her and receive
informally with her on her days at home.
OF course in this way all my friends will
know I am out"
In lieu OF the tea some girls were
launched by the medium of a dinner dance,
others at a ball given in their honor. But
in their secret souls they all longed for
the debutante tea with its crush OF young,
old and middle aged persons OF much social
importancei it's heaps of flowers and its
adulation. enough OF IT TO turn the wisest

1t Is generally agreed that at tea OF
this sort there must be anywhere from six

they say, is not eligible. With that rule
In view the coming buds have carefully

Newest Fad i'm Gems.

In gems, as in everything else, there are
fads, says Leslies Weekly, and the newest
fad in precious stones is the tourmaline
Unless you are a jeweler, or for some other
reason have a special knowledge, you will
ask probably, What is tourmaline?"
1t is a semi-precious stone and one Of
the most beautiful that come out of the
ground. It is a rival of the ruby in color,
but wears much better, approaching the
diamond In hardness. Unlike the ruby,
however, the tourmaline has the greatest
variety of tints of any gem. Its various
specimens have shades of black, white,
green yellow, red and pink. Some of the
specimens Of the gem are like emeralds,
others have the yellow luster Of the topaz,
and red tourmallnes are sometimes sold as
rubies. The new gem is used in much
the same manner as, for instance, a ruby.
The leading jewelry stores of New York
are showing rings and pendants in which
tourmalines with smaller borders of dia-
monds are used.
In addition to their color tourmalines are
attractive on account of their pure, trans
lucent quality, like that of drop of dew.
Aside from its increasing popularity and
its beauty, the tourmaline is interesting for
another reason. Expose this gem to the
Roentgen rays, then take 1t into a dark
room, and it will glow with q warm, bright
light. Only two other known gems have
this odd quality, the diamond and the kun
zite.
The tourmaltne fad started when It first
became known that Prince Henry of Prus-
sia recently paid $4,000 for a single stone.
Ordinary toprmalines bring from SO to $50
carat. The largest gem of this variety
ever found was recently dug out of a mine
In San Diego county, California. This was
at the Mesa Grande mine and weighed
1850 carats. 1t was huge yellow crystal
not less than seven and one-half inches
long and four and one-half inches thick
California leads all other sections Of the
world in tourmaline production, and the
new and increasing popularity of the gem
has given a sudden impetus to the industry.

For and About Women Folks

would not care to repeat From child
hood she has lived her strenuous life on
the plains and in the mountains of Mon
tana; she has been kidnapped by Indians
and kept a prisoner for months by them
and she still bears an ugly scar as a me-
mento OF a too-well-ained tomahawk
In later life she acted as cook and scout
for a freighting train and spent years
travelling between Denver and the Missouri
river. Hardly a day passed." she says
without an Indian fight, for the savages
were constantly swooping down on the
trains and killing the freighters or driving
away the stock, while at times the buffalo
were so thick that we would be compelled
to stop our train and shoot among them
to drive them away" About twenty years
ago Mrs. Collins took to cattle rearing and
dealing, and although she is said to have
amassed millions she still personally con-
ducts her train loads OF cattle from Mon
tana to Chicago.
Mrs. Hetty Green is said to make an an
nual income Of little less than a1.OOO,OOO by
her clever dealings in stocks and shares
Some years ago her fortune was estimated
at a10OO0OOO. and yet this remarkable
woman works longer hours and harder in
her Office than any woman clerk, travels to
and fro for few pence daily. does her
own modest marketing and cooking and
leads generally as Spartan life as II her
income were 81 instead Of nearly $4,000
a week.
Russia boasts a splendid business woman
in Nine. Woleska, who is mistress Of hun
dreds OF thousands OF acres Of land and
a score of villages and small towns. Every
day she devotes several hours to the per-
sonal supervision OF her vast estates and
in conference with her hundred agents,
while no petty detail relating to a cottage
or farm is too small for her attention.
Sonora Cousino who owns vast estates
in South America and whose fortune is
said to exceed e4OOOO,OO0, is another woman
whose millions are allied to great business
gifts. The sonora, who inherited great
wealth from her father. has added enor-
mously to it by her skillful management
Of her possessions; in fact, so shrewd and
clever is she that the late Jay Gould de-
claisd that If she liked she might amass
wealth compared with which the fortune
OF the richest man millionaire would seem

A Mysterious stranger.

A. Washington man recalls how Minister
WI once talked at a mothers congress. He
told how mothers-in-law were reverenced in
China. Then he said that all the mothers
before him would be mothers-in-law some
day, and therefore he would tell them
something that they might remember and
profit by. "A parlor maid" he began,
answered a ring at the door bell one
morning, and few minutes later assembled
to her mistress. If you please, ma am,
she said, the strangest lady is downstairs
She won't give her name and she has taken
on her coat and hat; and she opened the
two closets and rummaged through them,
and then she looked at the windows and
shook her head, and she rubbed her finger

she held it up to see the dust on it, and now

EARLY Christma. shoppInx.

IT would be interesting TO know how many
weary and disappointed people resolve on
each recurring Christmas eve that next
year they will do their Christmas shopping
in time. 1t is consplcuously a case where
the early bird catches the worm. The
early shopper finds stores packed with the
most attractive holiday goods which he has
ample time TO examine. whereas later in the
season the stock has been not only dimin-
ished but often handled time and again.
One who puts of Christmas buying to the
last minute. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, not oply has a narrowed fold OF
choice, but must also endure not a little dis
comfort and sometimes real hardship re-
sulting from the crush that is always bound
to mark the last few days before the holt
day, Even locomotion is then difficult and
elaboration in choice Of goods next to i'm
possible. The tremendous crush Of Christ
mas week could be avoided II shoppers
more frequently anticipated the season by
a few weeks and did their buying at time
Omaha daily bee., 1905-12-10

when both holiday goods and shopping fa-
cilities are at their best.
Moreover as Christmas draws near II Is
moro natural than at other seasons to have
regard for others, and one inspired In any
degree with the true spirit of Christmas
will give some heed to the comfort OF those
to whom the holiday always brings
heavier load than usual of work and worry.
The men ana women who assist in the sale
and delivery of holiday goods receive at
best too little consideration from the shop
ping public and Christmas week means to
them time of enormously increased strain
Early Christmas buying means less work
and better bargains for the purchaser and
more comfort for those in the stores who
minister to his wants.

women MiIIionnire..


One hears so much and so exclusively Of
male miilionaires that one is apt to lose
sight of the fact that men have no mo-
nopoly of million-making and that there
are many women who are no mean rivals
to them in the art OF amassing riches.
Quite recently Mrs. Herman Oelrichs,
who is said to be the snartest and shrewd-
est business woman In the world, has so
they say. been coming money at the rate
of tlo,o00.O0o a year by clever speculation In
railway shares, says an English exchange.
Mrs. Oelrichs is a daughter of the late
Senator Fair. from whom. no doubt. she
has inherited her talent for making money
Only two years ago she revoked the power
OF attorney given to her husband and took
the management of her affairs into her own
hands: she sold out all her real estate hold
inds In San Francisco, went to New York
and, while eclipsing her rivals in lavish
and original entertainments has found
time TO make the satisfactory income OF
nearly Si.OOO,OO0 a month.
Another woman hustler is Mrs Richard
King, Who for many year has conducted

OF Middlesex as very few men living could
conduct II. So extensive is Mrs Kings

cred, liberty satin, novelty silk and chiffon

the other materials mentioned and are more
durable. if less captivating.
In any case the material must be white,
trimmed with white or silver. An excep-
ton to this rule, however, was Brussels
net costume seen the other day on debu-
tante, the f1ounces and bodice of which
were embroidered with tiny pink rose
buds.
The custom Of sending flowers to debu-
tante is carried to greater proportions than
ever this year. They come from the debu-
tante's feminine friends as we'll as from
her masculine admirers. And the man who
gets an invitation to debutante tea and
fails to acknowledge it with a few cut
flowers, at least, lays himself open to the
imputation of being ignorant of what the
polite conventions require on such occa-
sions or of being dead broke with his credit
at his florists at the zero mark.
The menu at debutante tea of the
most fashionable class is more substantial
than might be expected. Cakes and tea
and chocolate and bonbons are only the
trimmings. Two hot dishes at least are
included and in many cases claret punch
and champagne cup are added to the soft
drinks.
The custom Of following her tea with a
large dance has been abandoned by this
seasons debutante. On the other hand, the
custom of dining afterward the receiving
party and an equal number of young men
is more popular than ever, most debutantes
voting it to be the jolliest feature of the
day.
The hour for this dinner, given OF course
by the debutante's mother, is s o'clock,
which allows the receiving party a half
hours rest before the extra dinner guests
arrive.

C1whvr0mem and Grover Cleveland.
.LUB women throughout the coun-
try are preparing to prove that
former President Grover Cleve-
fxkfRI land was talking through his tile
6e& when he declared I'm print that
club life tended 70 destroy the maternal
instinct. According to Chicago papers. the
club women Of that city are collecting
statistics designed to show how many chill
dren mothers In the federation have. A
preliminary count In Chicago clubs shows
an average OF SO children in a total of
ifty-four mothers. Four grandmothers
polled showed a total Of eleven grand
children.
The national leaders in the club move
ment are especially angry because, as they
understood II. Cleveland intimated that
the native born population Of the country
was not likely TO show any great increase,
due to the club spirit. The women declare
that they have suffered in silence these
filings just as long as they are going to and
that It has come 10 a point where patience
ceases to be virtue. They say It is un-
fair and unmanly for Cleveland or any
other man to rush precipitately to the con-
clusion that a club woman does not make
a good mother.
Circulars setting forth in detail the scope
of the investigation which were sent out
from the General Federation's headquar-
tiers, have reached the club presidents in
Chicago, who are now compiling the data
Not only will the number of mothers In
the club movement be tabulated, but the
number of children each mother has, and
their ages. will occupy the attention OF the
statistician.
In connection with the movement to re-
flute the race suicide charges that have
been made, a general line Of investigation
is being pursued. covering practically
every phase of work now being followed
by the club women. When completed the
statistics will comprise a comprehensive
volume, and will be given to the public.
