Col. Harris laughs at the report that
he will withdraw from the race for
governor. Some mean things have been
said about the Democratic candidate for
governor, but it never yet has been

and while he will doubtless be licked we
don't believe he will show the white

Clerical work for Girls.

Now, is TO clerical work. A number
OF girls have written, asking how they
can secure positions in publishing
houses. The busy season in these es-
adjustments comes with the handling
of Christmas trade, from October to
November %. Many filing clerks, typ
lists and stenographers are taken on at
this time, and after the rush is over,
1t becomes case of the survival of the
f1ttest. The most competent or enter
prising girls are given permanent posi-
tion@
In the line of stenography. it seems as
If all seasons are busy. Midsummer
finds openings for girls who are willing
to substitute for stenograp piers away on
vacations, and these positions command
as nigh as $3.50 per day. In September,
both the retail and wholesale establish
ments are apt to take on a large cleri-
cal force. Positions can be secured
through agencies which charge a per-
centage of the salary received and by
answering newspapers advertisements.
An excellent way to secure position
is through the typewriter ma chine with
which you are most expert. Directly
on reaching the city, call at the offices
of the machine and take an examination
in stenography. If you receive an aver
age of 80 per cent or higher, your name
is placed on the eligible list. and you are
sent out to answer the first call for
help that comes from a firm using this
particular machine. No charge is made
for securing the position but the ex-
animation is rigid and the girl who
lacks knowledge of English, spelling or
stenography cannot possibly come up to
the standard demanded.
Stenograp piers receive from Sc per
week to SIS. Real estate and insurance
companies pay good salaries; brokers
and lawyers pay better. Brokers re-
quire a knowledge of biography. There
is room for competent workers in every
large city, but the market is glutted
with incompetent stenographers who
cannot earn more than Sc per week

The Jamestown Exposition of 1907.

OdAASSAOWn A1AtJOSlt1On VI lSOts
The exposition as planned is different
from any which have yet been held eth
er IN this country or abroad The in
dustrial feature, which has heretofore
been predominant at every great expo
SitiOn from the PHILADELPHIA Centennial
down to the St Louis Worlds fair, is to
be subordinated to the historical and
reminiscent; and the marine and milf
tary features viii have special promiH-
ence.
The expenditure required to produce
features of Interest to all classes and
conditions of men will be nothing like
so great as at St. Louis and Chicago.
Numerous land buildings will not be
required, nor will vast stretches of
grounds have to be placed in order. The
mere fact, however, that the expendi-
lures to be made in the erection Of
buildings and the laying out of grounds
will not equal more than one-tenth that
made at St. Louis is not an indication
that the exposition will be small or
mean. If the plans Of the government
and the mana cement of the exposition
carry, it is computed that the United
States alone will have present at all
times war vessels that will approximate
hundred million dollars in value. The
foreign nations that have promised to
participate will probably send an even
fargeE number, making, 1t is estimated,
a display of fighting craft always in
view that will represent money value
of a quarter of a billion dollars or full
five times the total cost of the St. Louis
exposition. The merchant and passen-
ger craft will also represent large
outlay.
But whatever may be done toward
making the exposition itself attractive,
even though millions might be spent
upon it. its historical setting must be to
all Americans the one feature that Will
attract most attention and create the
greatest interest. There is no other
section of the New World so replete
with historical associations as the por-
ton of eastern Virginia within a radius
of so miles of Hampton Roads.-Plum-
