HOW A WOMAN
 GOT AN OFFICE.
(Original.l

lOriginal1
 Katherine Gle was an up to date young woman. Her sex had come to occupy many positions formerly filled by men, but there was one of which she considered women did not get their share. The political offices were still held almost exclusively by men. Katherine was interested in the mat ter not because she relished a struggle with the men for womans rights, but because she wanted an office. She pro- posed to herself short cut to eqdalize her chances with them. She would seek an office not as a woman. but as man.
 Not long after Katherine Gile came to this decision a young man, Truby Middlebrook. of rather feminine ap- pearance, settled in the town of Stark ville and soon secured a position as stenographer with Francis Merriam, grain shipper. Middlebrook's employ CT told him that he had had several women stenographers, but didn't want any more of them. He considered them an empty headed lot, excitable, hysterical-indeed. everything ending With "al," not excepting diabolical. But he desired Middlebrook to be careful not to mention his opinion of the sex, for he had long been striving 10 get the nomination for mayor, and II wouldn't be policy for him to be known as woman hater.
 Mlddlebrook remained in Merriam's employ two years eefore the ambition ol ms employer was attained. Mer- ram was nominated, and he was so good man that the opposition hesi- .ated about putting up a candidate of is own. Indeed, Merriam was con- eratulating himself on the prospect of naving no opposition whatever when ne saw a notice one morning in his newspaper that astonished him. It was no less than an announcement ol his stenographer, Truby Middle pfook. that he would be a candidate 'or mayor at the coming election. NOW, there had been the best of feel ,ng between the two men. Merriam Aao raised Middlebrook's salary sev- erai times and had supposed that the s'enographer was devoted to him.
 MT. Middlebrook," said Merriam, "I nave seen your notice. You have perfect right to run for office against , e, out-but-well, your action is just nAe thousand things your predeces- SvrS have done who were-women. That's all"
 MT. Middlebrook withdrew without a "oru' and what filled the measure of l.S employers astonishment was that " thought he saw tear in his stenog- rapher's eye.
 mere was another surprise in store ts er MT. Merriam. A few days before .ne election his political manager came

OF such vast Importance and proper
tions is the motoring veil that 1t seems
almost unfair to term 1t an accessory.
Yet It actually is one of the minor de-
tails of the motor toilette, inasmuch as
1t is so frequently changed in the course
of a weeks tour. The woman who tray

oughly appreciates the value OF having
on hand q supply of fresh wells of vari-
GUS kinds When the suns rays beat
fiercely upon her face she knows that
madder brown chiffon or silk-thread veil
will ward of tan, freckles and sunburn.
But II she wishes to be absolutely I'M
mune-and has the courage necessary to
face unhinchingly a critical world-she
would better choose veil that is frankly
cardinal White wells are deemed ex-
ceedingly smart and certainly are becom-
ing, but they are scarcely any protection
from the sun and should only be worn
In the evening or to conceal the hat when
the wearer is dining at club or some
public place. Such wells are often or real
lace, of lace bordered net or OF elaborate
ly embroidered chiffon. They look espe-
clally well with white crepe de chine,
satin or twilled silk motoring coat.
Next in Importance TO the veil are the
goggles. These are frankly ugly and
often dishguring, but, like most unpleas-
ant things, are exceedingly valuable.
Some of them are skeletonizea anairs

More diversity exists amongst gaunt-

imagine. This is due to the fact that

When they are made OF Isle, with kid

The Omnipresent WaistcOat.

world goes In automobiles. AS the women

stand and the tea pavilion, they are nat

fact. candy Is peculiarly protected from
many authorizations and dangers by the
very delicacy and purity of the flavor de-

At one time arsenic was said to be used

VOLCANO FOR SALE.
Sulphur Deposits of Popocateptl in
the Market.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
Popocatapctl volcano is for sale. This
announcement ought to attract the at
tention of dealers in volcanoes. While
it has been said that no legitimate busi-
ness proposition is too big daring for
American investors to tackle. Popocate-
petl volcano seems to be an exception to
this general rule. American promoters
have been trying for many years to float
companies to take over and operate the
property for its sulphur deposits and to
establish other interesting features in
come ction with the giant mountain
whose snow capped head overlooks the
valley of Mexico. The latest of these
projects has failed. and the famous vo-
cano has passed back into the hands of
Gen. Casper Sanchez Ochoa of Mexico
City. who came into its possession many
years ago.
Gen. Ochoa thought.t that he had got rid
of the monster volcano three years ago
to a syndicate of Americans. headed by
Capt Charles Holt formerly of New
York, but a resident Of Mexico for sew
eral years. Capt. Holt purchased the
volcano for reported consideration OF
$5.OcO.0o0 United States money. which is
equivalent to S1O,OOOo00 Mexican money
1t was his plan to organize a company
with capital stock of s10.O0o.0OO gold
for carrying on various kinds of opera
tions upon the mountain. In addition to
mining the sulphur, which is stored In
the crater of the volcano. an inclined
railway was to be built from it's base to
its summit, Mexico City was to be sup
piled with ice from the perpetual ice
field that surmounts the mountain, and
at it's base the primeva! forest was to be
converted into park. hotels were to be
erected and it to be made an ideal
resort for American tourists.
Capt. Holt was unable to finance the
big proposition. and after three years of
effort in that direction the project was
abandoned. and few days ago the title
TO the mountain reverted to Gen. Ochoa
1t is stated that Capt. Holt is still in
terested in the park and hotel features
of the original PLAN and that Gen. Ochoa
and other men of means are connected
with the other projects.
1t is dizzy proposition to think of
mining sulphur at an altitude of 1900
feet. But it is claimed by experts who
have investigated and reported upon the
feasibility of the plan that the physical
difficulties which stand in the way can
be overcome by the application of en-
gineering ingenuity. backed by sufficient
money To carry 1t through.

astrologers to be the most violent and
dangerous star Of the heavens.
The reason for this unenvlable reputa-
ton is not far to seek. Unlike the thou
sands of other bright stars which shine
out with calm and steady radiance night
