WOMEN CONDUCTORS.

Their Employment in Chilean Town
Attend Well to Their Work.
The most remarkable feature of the
Valparaiso street car system is its
conductors; they are women, says the
Los Angeles Times.
The sex is also employed in like ca
pacity in Santiago and all the other
cities of Chile that have horse or
electric trans This practice sprang
into being at the time Of the revolution
Of 1891, when men and money were
scarce and women plentiful. Having
apparently given satisfaction to their
employers during the intervening
years they are still retained.
The first women conductors were
said to have been young and pretty
and to have been dressed in natty uni
forms. Tradition even goes further
and says that at that time youth and
good looks we're a part of the EN-
trance requirements" In the light Of
the present this seems hard to be-
lieve. 1t is also recorded that after a
while the natty uniforms were
dropped, and it is just possible that
the apochryphal youth and beauty"
clause was stricken out at the same
time.
To-day, judging from what | have
seen in a somewhat painstaking sur
vey OF the situation, I would say that
the possession Of youth and beauty,
far from being a requirement, was now
the means Of earning a flat disqualii-
cation. The customary dress Of d LADY
tram conductor Of to-day is a broad
brimmed clouch hat. short jacket
with the sleeves turned back an inch
or two and short black skirt, always
hanging with a heavy port or star
board list.
They are neither fiirtetious nor pru.
dish, ana no scandals are heard about
them. To a foreigner 1t is an inter
esting sight to observe the street car
girl, to note how capably she man

She was amazed at their splendid
healthfulness and fine eyes, and made
no secret OF her opinion that in point
Of figure and carriage they far out
stripped the beauties Of Europe
But" she said, they do not know
how to make the most Of their attrac-
tions. They have no coquetry."
That which La Cavalieri says Amer
lean women lack, she herself has to a
conspicuous degree. She is a mistress
Of every accomplishment, every facial
change, every movement, every grace
that will add to her attraction.
Her eyes are large, soft and brown.
Their expression is gentle, and belle a
somewhat aggressive hint conveyed in
the poise Of her head, which is always
carried well back, with the chin up
lifted.
IN the depths OF her eyes is seen al
the magnetism Of a woman who. If she
willed to use her power wrongly, could
accomplish most any catastrophe.
Her eyes were shaded by the most
marvellous pair Of eyelashes that droop
to her cheeks in the occasional times
when she droops her eyes.
Cavalieri has not the brown Italian
skin. Hers is creamy, and she watches
over it with solicitous care. Her IA
vorite bath is hot water, hot as posi-
bic. This she considers the best help

Denver Hunters. with Hounds n che
Machine, Bag TWO Ia Short Time.
Speeding through the sagebrush in
a big automobile at the rate Of forty
miles an hour ia the early dtya close
at the heels Of frightened coyote
was the experience Of j. G. McGm, E.
Linn Mathewson and a idr. Pedro this
morning. says the Denver Post.
The suggestion Of hunting coyotes
in an automobile came to the trio
from having run near the animals Of
ten when out in the country without
frightening them. They started at
daybreak for a hunt.
We ran the animals down" said
Mr.. McGill, and the dogs did the rest.
We concealed three big Russian wolf
hounds belonging to Mr. Pedro in the
auto until we would spy one Of the an
imals. We knew if they saw the dogs
that they would never permit us to get
near them.
When we would find a coyote he
was generally looking at us in amaze
ment He would stand and gaze at us
as long as we did not make straight
for him. So we ran at him in cir
cuitous ways We would act as if we
were going to pass him and he would
stand his ground, but when near him
and just ready to pass would turn the
machine direct upon him and give it
a forty-mile speed.
After we had run the first one
about mile we came upon him and
then Mr.. Pedro threw his dogs out Of
the auto and they picked the tired an-
imal up before he had doubled forty
PAGES.
THE second coyote we only chased
about half mile. He soon got tired
and the dogs picked him up in short
order
Then we struck ahig strong fellow
and gave him chase He was the
swiftest animal sgar saw on foot,
but we finally lsnaed on him and
threw the dogs out, but he escaped
them. He fought Ike Satan and the
dogs were tired aiywar. we did not
mind losing him b mach as we had
already bagged tw Of the animals"
