womsn,s chance in business.

In one place we learn of women
who are fast taking hold of business
propositions which, only few years
ago. would stagger the average man
because of the ruge enterprise they
involved as well as the intellect de-
manded to creditably discharge snch
duties; on the other hand. many
many managers are dischargng wo-
men, placing them in inferior posi-
ton, or filling their offices with men
more able TO cope with duties that
ofttimes demand little Drawn with
the brain. Brokers and many men
i'm places of great trust are frank in
expressing their disinclnation to deal
with women in business because Of
the unreasonableness of the SEX We
can appreciate this. for many women
are unreasonable, at the start. but
once a woman gets established she
forgets the social courtesies so lack
ing in a business realm. though no
woman ever forgets she is woman
and the little ironies that beset her
in some walks of life are sufficient
to cause what these men term un-
reasonableness The working woman,
IL seems. must be contented to get
into a street car and swing on strap
while some young man sits nearby
and enjoys his cigarette; she must
forget she is thrust aside now and
then and. above all, she has to learn
to shove too, and keep even her foot
ing where she is permitted to stand
II is all so rude, all so below the
dignity of woman. but II eventually
comes to almost this state of affairs
II is said, however, that the appear
ance of working women in the bust
ness field has made men more care
full of their conduct and habits in Of
fee life. that they dress better and
offices are kept much cleaner, be-
cause the very fact that women are
about is an incentive leading up &c
these conditions. It is not ut all
probable that woman will be ousted
from her position in the business
world; the chances are more viii
come but 1t is well that all be pre-
pared for the venture, for there are
times when the dependent woman
must be able to protect herself
against the Vaccinations of the un-
scrupulous, though the last condi-
tion is highly over-rated and need
not be a barrier even to the timid-
hearted ones.

"Can youse tell me where can find

OF the London police
The policeman. with a curious smile,
took Nifty in from head TO foot which
was a matter of four feet three.

entirely respectable and honest, just
now. He had recently returned from q

living with New People.

Almost every day we meet new
people-persons who are entire
strangers, yet there is a great deal
to be learned from these people,
even though they may not be learned
themselves. An observing person is
usually one with strong discrimirat-
ing power and his intuitions are
generally well founded, so that the
new person is a study, and from him
can be learned information that is
really and truly valuable. One
meets the philosophical persons and
their half-stoical dispositions act like
a derrick for fallen hopes and ambi-
tions; the next person may be light
and frivolous, genuinely good, full
Of sunshine and wholly care-free,

son to the place. of thinking, fWell,
what's the use, l may as we'll laugh

man who curled herself up in big

And her type is the kind we like to

room in which the crown jewels of
England were on exhibition.

SOUND POLITICAL MAxIMs.

THERE'S political destruction in
timidity. The only political safe
ty is in courage.
Any tax that taxes man on what
he has, is better than one that taxes
fhim on what be needs.
1t is bad politics to ignore the
friends who voted for you in order,
to please the enemies who opposed
you.
You can not depress industry
and impoverish labor by remitting
taxes; that is done bo imposing
taxes.
Where private interests object
to the remission of q tax, it is GER
tain that the government is nos
getting all that the tax costs the
people.
We can not abolish trusts by
laws condeming them and provid-
ing for their legal prosecution.
We can only abolish them by nbol-
ishingthe monopoly en- which they
are based.
The concession that there can be-
any vested rightin the privilege Of
taxing the many for the benefit of
the few, aud that those who have.
profted by robbing the people.
must not be shorn of their unjust
power too quickly, is a denial of
the first principles Of Democracy.

Whittier at Close Range.

Whittier belonged to those natures who would advance with firmness and joy to martyrdym in good cause, but are never comfortable in society, and who impress one with the idea that they would like to run out of the door at any moment. Yet few enjoyed the society of congenial friends as did the Quaker poet. No one relished good story more or related one with better grace. His sense of the ludicrous was very vivid, and the absurdlties of life and it's situations struck him never more forcibly than when they involved himself As Whittier's nephew and biographer has asserted. 1t would be a mistake to suppose that gentleness was a necessity of his nature. His was in reality the result of resolute self con trol and the habitual government of a tempestuous spirit. Indeed. the poet had his shrewd, assertlve and almost vindictive side, else he had never been so successful politician and reform CT. - Caroline Ticknor in Harper's Weekly.
