ACTIVE NOR WEGLAY WOMEN.
Occupy Good Positions as Stewards
on Coasung Steamers.

S@&oPy OOOu Y OSItlOnS as STEWARDS
on Coasting Steamers.
Bright young women in Norway find
a rational and eongenial employment
In vocation which has not been in
vaded by their sex in this country. The
| many steamers that pillow the Norwe-
g1an fJords and Scandinavian estuaries
and rivers employ young women to
see to the commisarat and to arrange
for the personal comfort of travellers
on board. Their official designation
is that of auxiliary ships officer"
That their occupation is a pleasant one
is proved by the numerous applications
at steamboat offices from young DAN
ish, Swedish and Norwegian ladies
anxious to secure such positions. This
life on the inland lakes and rivers,
Is stated in fact to be immensely popu-
lar with the strong and energetic girls
Of Northern Europe. That the duties
involved necessitate a girls having
head on her shoulders goes without
saying, and many of the applicants are
daughters Of either naval or profess
sional men, such as lawyers and
doctors.
1t is the duty of the auxiliary ships
officer" to ascertain from the purser
of the ship how many passengers are
booked on the outgoing voyage and to
lay In her provisions accordingly, with
an eye to ample supplies, at the same
time avoiding any risk in the matter
of waste. She is further responsible
for the tastefully laid table and for
such additional house-linen as may be
required in the cabins during the voy-
age. Plate, china and even kitchen
utensils are generally her own prop
erty, SO that she must necessarily pos
sess business ability in her selection
and care. Payments are arranged at
so much per head and the lady steward
nets the profits over and above the act
ual expenses, and beyond this may de-
pend upon complimentary contributions
from the traveller, which being GUS
tomary thing, may be offered and &C
cepted without offense
Such an occupation with its self
respecting independence and it's breezy,
open-air surroundings, is healthful and
eXhilerating, while the constant stream
of passengers and tourists, both old and
new, tends to the formation Of pleasant
acquaintance, at all seasons OF travel.
Another post filled by women on
board the Norwegian mail steamers is
that of postal official" Two Of these
young ladies always travel together,
their sole duty consisting in carrying
the mail bags to and from the points
of embarkation and arrival During
the voyage, the time of these girls Is
practically their own, and they gener-
ally may be seen employing it in pro-
ducing those much-admired "Hosfilds

In the early morning the crowds
which spent most of the night at the
hulletin-board were gathering again.
At no time had the place been entire
V deserted. Several men had never
been out of eyeshot of the bulletins.
one OF them, a shock-headed youth in
overalls and wearing the cap of a
government electrician, sat on the
stone curbing by the entrance to the
power station, smoking a small black
pipe, seemingly more occupied with
meditation than observation.
Most OF the men who were now gath
ring about the board, were coal miners
on their way to the shafts. Here and
there were electricians. The vastness
OF the power station from which they
had come, was no more than suggested
from where the crowd stood, the build
1ngs being partially hid in a grove Of
trees.
The groups of miners and electric
ians were almost silent They seemed
to have exhausted comment and sur
mise, and to be waiting for the tangible
to take place Of conjecture.
On the Verge of War.
In Washington the federal news edi-
tor apparently had worn out himself
and his staff in keeping up a detailed
account of the all-night session of Con-
gress. AS daylight came, the service
wabbled, and what had been a con-
nected, well-sustained story of congress
sional proceedings had slumped to a
series of jerky bulletins of which the
last had come half-hour before, read
ing:
Williams still has the floor. He is
making no Roadway against the major
ity. War seems Inevitable"
To the men starting for the shafts,
this carried no news which they had
no known before they had gone away,
a few hours earlier, to get such sleep
and rest as they could.
While they stood watching, another
bulletin came:
Congress has taken an hours re-
cess for breakfast. No action"
The coal miners in the crowd read
this, and then started for work. Soon
there were left only few scattered

seeming to dismiss the request as pre-
posterous. He had started to speak
calmly, but his manner changed, and
he brought his fist down on the desk
as he added sharply:

He wheeled around in his chair, and
busted himself with the wires leading

hesitated an instant, and then suddenly
lost his awkwardness and became alert.
He bent over his senior, speaking rapid
ly, theoretically, and sharply. He drew
from the inner pocket of his blouse a
print, spreading it before Shod. The
anger of the older man gave way to

talking, folded up his print, returned it
to his pocket, and stood waiting.
Shod contemplated him silently for
several moments. Then he said:

A speck developed in the eastern sky
and drew nearer, enlarging rapidly.
Then the Washington mail came into
sight, and landed at the areoplane sta
ton near the entrance to the power
station. A mail clerk came down the
elevator after the sacks had been
thrown into the chute. He was ques-
toned eagerly by the men still stand
ing about the bulletin board, but had
nothing of news later than that which
the bulletins had given them.
As he stood talking, another message
was flashed on the board:
williams says that opposition to
the majority will cease. War will be
declared before night"
AT that the shock-headed youth arose
suddenly from the curbstone, walked
rapidly through the gates and on into

Evidence Against Mukwonago Man,

ciaL otto Preufcrt, charged with the
murder of his fatherin-law, Frederick
HOokstad, an aged town of Mukwonago
farmer, was brought before Judge Tul-
lar this morning. The examination was
continued until tomorrow morning when
another continuance will probably be
taken, Preufert was committed to Jail
without bail c. f. Armin has been
appointed to defend Preufert.
Sheriff Kunz spent yesterday in in
vcstigating the circumstances surround
ing the death of Hookstad. but few new
facts were learned. Preuferts demeanOr
and actions since his arrest are in his
favor and while there is circumstantial
evidence against him the theory that his
fathcr-in-law was kicked to death by a
horse is plausible. Neither Preufert or
his wife deny that the two men had
quarrclcd repeatedly, but Mrs. Preufcrt
claims that there had been no
trouble between them for six weeks
