A Western Opinion.

Henry C. Richmond, of Omaha, who
is one of the delegates from the "Woolly
West" that came to welcome Bryan
gives the following as his estimate of
New York's people to the N. Y. rrt-
bune:
We've been riding around town to-day
on street cars and automobiles looking
over your people. The only things we
SHE'D at were your old horse cars. We
don't have anything like'em in Nebraska
| haven't any desire to make you feel
bad, but | do not mind saying right
here that the people met with in the
streets of New York, compared with the
people of Nebraska, are much inferior.
They are inferior in looks, physique,
apparel, and, judging from facial ex-
pressions. in character. You are hand
ling the raw product of citizenship, and
perhaps you are doing as well as you can,
but it is the raw product from southern
Europe, and some of it is pretty raw at
that. We read of your riots over FIVE
cent fares, led by city officials; of your
ballot box stuffing at election tiIne and
latterly, of the rise of Hearst; aud, to be
perfectly frank with you, those things
make us tired. They make us think that
the next train for Omaha is about the best
thing you have here.

James Russell Lowell was a great
favorite in the literary circles of Lon
don. On one occasion at large ban
qpet the peculiaritles of American
speech We're discussed with English
bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr.. Lowell
loudly, SO as TO silence all other speak
ers:
There is one new expression invent
ed by your countrymen so foolish and
vulgar as to be objectionable. They
talk of the ashes of the dead We
don't burn corpses. No Englishman
would use a phrase so absurd"
"And yet" said Mr.. Lowell gently.
your poet Gray says, speaking of the
dead:
''Eep In our ashes live their wonted fires.
"And in the burial services of the
church of England 1t is said, Dust to
dust and ashes to ashes We sin in
good company" A cordial burst of APP
plause greeted this prompt rejoinder.

COG AND MAGOG.
Various Traditions Relating
These Two Famous Giants.

Who were Cog and Magog? English
tradition says that they We're the last
Of race of giants who infested Eng
land until they were destroyed by
some Of the Trojans who went to the
British isles after the destruction of
Troy. Cog and Magog, it is said, were
taken captive to London, where they
were chained at the door of the palace
of the king. When they died wooden
images of the two giants were put in
their places. In the course of time a
you go to London. you will see in the
great hall of one of the famous build
ings - the Guildhall - two immense
wooden etfigies of men called Cog and
Magog.
But there are other traditions of the
two giants. One is to the effect that
when Alexander the Great overran
Asia he chased into the mountains of
the north an impure, wicked and man
eating people who We're twenty-five ma
tons in number and who were shut up
with rampant in which were gates of
brass One of these nations was Goth
and another Magoth, from which we
readily get the names of the mythical
giants. 1t is supposed, however, that
the Turks were meant by Cog and the
Mongols We're the children of Magog.
We shall find mention made of Cog
and Magog in many books, including
the Bible, but there are the great wall
and the rampant of Cog and Magog,
whatever may have been the fact that
gave the names of the two giants to
that portion of the structure.

WORK FOR WOMEN.
What is the Best Field for WAGE
Earners

What is the most lucrative position a
woman can hold is the question often
asked in this work-a-day world, where
statistics prove that one out of every
sixteen women in the United States is
working for living. There is no doubt
that the number of women engaged in
labor is growing larger every year and
the wage Garner is prominent factor in
the business world to-day.
1t is said that women are more con.
scientious than men, and in many cases
more reliable, for position means posi-
bly, more to them than to man who is
always pretty sure to find position
along some line or other.
But what position commands the
largest salary? Education is essentially
the foundation for commanding a good
salary.
An Albany young women, who is in
structress of English, and a member of
the New York State board of education,
is one of the highest salaried women in
the state, receiving $4,000 per annum,
or over five dollars day.
Another, an assistant to the director of
the board of education, receives 81, 800
and several young women employed at
the capitol receive from 81, 100 to 81.
600.
With such an Independent income, is
it any wonder that the average young
woman turns toward the business life
1t is a well-known fact that women
travelling for wholesale dealers in muslin
underwear, perfumes, drugs, toilet arti-
Giles, raincoats, ETC., receive from S25 to
$35 week.
Buyers for many firms who are sent
abroad each year receive large salaries
and have all expenses paid.
Stenography is also lucrative means
means of earning a good salary, but
there are stenographers and stenog-
raphers. To-day is essentially one of
specialists and one must excel in the
particular branch one chooses for her
life work. A well-known business man
ooiu' nave hdO any HuuuUeT Vi
stenographers who excelled in speed,
but that was ALL Spelling, punctuation,
construction of sentences and the proper
use Of verbs were wholly lacking" An
expert stenographer can always COM
mand good salary, many in the cap
itol receiving from Sl,400 a year to
$1,000.
Trained nursing is also most lucra-
tive profession, a surgical nurse receiv-
ing from $21 to $30a week. This is al
most pure profit, as the nurse while ION
case" has her board and room in
elusive, thus causing no outlay.
Teaching is also lucrative means of
support, principals of the public schools
receiving salaries of $1,000 and over,
and having longer vacation with pay
than almost any other profession.
Competent housekeepers also find good
positions at renumerative compensation.
The twentieth century certainly holds
wide possibilities for women who wish
to be wage earners, and the keynotes,
wealth, health, education, ability and
perseverance, will ultimately lead to sue
cess in whatever branch one selects.

Mrs. Lucy S. Barber, who was Sc eighty

Addison County Fair three days in sue
cession, driving six miles each way,

THE ROAD QUESTION.
A Correspondent Wants to Bring
the Question Of Poor Roads to
View.
To The Editor of the Register

To The Editor Of the Register.
When solmuch is being written about
good roads why not hear about some
poor ones ? Why should town having
so much material with which TO make
good roads, more than any other town in
Vermont, viz Il crushed stone from two
lime kllns, be noted for its poor roads
and litigation over the office of road COM
missioner
Why should a portion of that town
which pays the heaviest taxes have its
highways neglected and people wallow
in mire except when nature comes to
their relief in. midsummer or mid-win-
ter -? Because of the selfishness and
greed of the one man power in road re-
pair, or, in other words, because the
office is made SO lucrative through the
abuse of public funds. 1t is also true
that road commissioner will do the
most work near his own dwelling and on
roads over which he travels mostly If
one portion of town is so unfortunate
as to have Eno resident road maker the
result is as before stated.
A long-suffering community is hop
ing the legislature of 1906 will come to
its relief by passing a law compelling
each town to elect two road commission
ers in different portions of same. The
spois will then be divided, litigation
over office cease and a battor conditio,,
of roads result. A Sufferer.
