Woman ms an Umpire.

Amanda Clement is the only girl umpire
in the northwest and 1t is probably true
that she is the only woman who has ever
held an indicator in professional base ball
games.
This young woman has attracted much
attention in western base ball circles this
year. She is just II years old, good look
ing, strong and healthy, and at Yankton,
where she is a student, she is the captain
Of the champion basket ball team Of the
Yankton college. At tennis she is ad-
mitted to be the champion woman player
of South Dakota
Dressed In a natty blue suit and short
blue blouse, with her wealth Of hair tucked
beneath a cap, she is an inspiring sight
on the base ball diamond, and, what is
more, as an umpire she knows her bust
ness. She understands the fine points of
the game, knows INSIDE play" and, being
the possesor of an eagle eye, seldom makes
a mistake. She 10 so superior to the COM

AS tho celebration progressed the feeling
became more prevalent until several hith-
erto timid and retiring women got TO
thinking about the common tyranc and
the yoke they had not noticed before and
they contributed TO the denunciation.
Things were looking very dark for mere
man as speaker after speaker arose and
bore testimony TO his selhshness, his
cruelty, his tyranny and utter uselessness.
But at this juncture, when masculinity
was all but annihilated, Mrs Robert Hall
wiles turned the tide. Mrs. wiles did not
share the common view, and hers was
splendid heroism that dared espouse the
cause of the fallen idol. The American
man. she started out boldly, is the most
unselfsh man in the world At this there
was speechless astonishment He Ia much

continued Mrs. wies, calmly. Property
rights are Just as fair toward women as
toward men, and the delegate from Me-

selfish motives. or because they do not
want women TO have property rights.

Tortures OF Fashion.

At last nature has rebelled against wom-
ankinds self-inhicted torture-the shirt
waist that buttons in the back. While
hastily reaching around for a middle button
on her best embroidered 'peek-o-boo"
which she was DOMINIC in preparation for
an afternoon drive with her devoted

Vile, H., suffered a fracture Of one Of the
smaller bones Of the forearm. When the
news spread there was sympathy for her
in every home, and also a feeling of dread
at the unexpressed thought, who will be
next?" For the fashionable yet terrible
shirt waist is a sword OF Damocles hanging
over the heads Of all the sex.
Unwittingly Miss Weissenborn was mar
tyr to the cause OF dress reform, and she
may yet live to have womans clubs and
accident-proof articles of feminine attire
named after her. II the manner In which
the women OF Chicago received the an
nouncement is any criterion, the broken
arm OF a sweet young thing at Belleville,
ILL.,, will bring about a mighty revolution.

Miss Clark some ten years ago went
from a village In Maine to Boston to see
what chance there was in big city for
an ambitious country girl. Starting out as
a bookkeeper. she managed to save $3.50
from her earnings and opened dry goods,
stationery and book store in the Back
Bay district During this period she heard
Quincy Adams Sawyer read to a select
company by the author.
He accepted her offer to publish the book
and Miss Clark advertised It all over the
United States. 1t was soon high In the
list of best sellers. This success decided
the young woman's business future. Even
since her marriage Mrs. Atkinson has re-
tanned her maiden name for business pur-
poses. She has brought out about seven
ty-five books and has met with no failures.
although the sales of Quincy Adams Saw
YER have not been paralleled.
Mrs. Atkinson believes in advertising, but
not In the traditional policy Of publish
ing houses. She adopted new methods,
and, although criticised at the time by
older and more conservative publishers,
her methods were so successful that they
have since been initiated in the publish
ing business today. Miss Clark says: II
