MONEY IN SMALL TOWNS.
Suggestions For the Artistic Woman
With Clever Hands.

suggestions FOR the ARTISTIC woman
With Clever Hands.
The who lives in a small
town often fancies she has fewer
means of earning money than II she
lived In a large city. This is a mis-
take. There are many occupations
open to her from which she would be
absolutely debarred in the city.
Paperhanging is an example. In
that line the unions have it all their
own way in the big towns, and as wo-
men cannot belong to the union they
find 1t impossible to work at the trade.
In a village 1t is different. The work
is planned on a smaller scale and need
not be done so quickly. A woman can
paper alone without requiring the
service even of a helper if she does not
want one
The work is clean. easily learned
and of a nature to suit the woman of
good taste. She should be able to plan
the entire redecoration of a room.
Painting the woodwork might also be
added, as well as calcimining the cell
ings. She might hold the agency of
certain varieties of wall paper In her
native town. show samples. novelties,
etc, and In this manner add greatly to
her income.
Interior decorating is not easily es-
tablished in a city where rents are
high and where there is much compe-
tition. but the woman who has her
own little house could easily put a
sign In her window or place an ad-
vertisement In the town newspaper
announcing that she was prepared to
~renovate rooms at a small cost. This
would lead to other work, such as buy
ing on commission rugs, furniture, and
so on.
The repairing of furniture, by the
way, Is a trade In which men make
money. and why not women2 Many
girls are handy with tools. They also
become adopts In the mysteries OF fur
niture polishing, sandpapering, var
nishing and staining in fancy colors.
One little widow who had no money
to waste recovered her furniture. She
ripped the covers off slowly, observing
carefully how they were cut and put
together, and she measured the new
material and put 1t on exactly the
same way.
A neighbor who noticed the fresh
appearance of the room asked the
widow II she had sent her chairs to the
nearest city to be recovered, and she
bewailed that the expressage was quite
an expense. When she learned the
truth she gave the widow an order on
the spot A woman can ask 50 a day
for work of this sort. OF course the
materials are provided. Or II she
works at home she can make a sched-
ule of prices and send 1t to each house.
In this repairing business there is
also a chance for commissions. Inte-

The fugitive was captured by deputy
Sheriff Frank Cotton, heading a posse
at the O'Conner ranch, where the men
had gone in automobiles, believing
that the fugitive would be there, atter
they had searched the entire country
in the vicinity of the scene of the
murder.
Mobiles says he was preparing to
give himself up and states that during
a trivial quarrel over Orr Selling his
hat. he was forced to shoot in self
defense. This statement, however the
murdered mems friends deny, as DOW
was shot in the back of the neck.
The only witness to the killing was
Mobiles brother, Charles, who was
about fifty feet away when the tragedy
occurred. He stated at the coroner S
inquest that the men had been friendly
all day, but upon leaving, Orr seized
Mobiles hat and refused to return it..
The quarrel began, and after several
threats Orr reached toward his re-
volver and Mobiles shot him twice, and
then, as Dow made a reach for his
companions weapon he also was shot,
according to Mobiles.
The preliminary hearing was set
for Friday

Especial to The Herald


PASADENA, April 22.-Mayor Farley
and some of the members of the city
council met with a delegation of mer-
chants in the board of trade rooms to-
day, Joseph Israel heading the business
representatives. The meeting concerned
the proposed ordinance moving the
public carriages, of which Pasadena
boasts many, from the business district.
The carriage men, many of them old
timers, are fighting the ordinance with
all the power they possess, and have
already had one meeting with the city
council during which they told at
length their side of the argument.
AS the outcome of the session be-
tween the city officials and the business
men today it is probable that there will
be a triple meeting of business men.
council and carriage drivers, but none
of those who attended would state when
such a meeting is to be called. Mayor
Earley, however, admitted that he ia
vors the holding of such triangular
session to hear all sides of the argu-
ment.
For some reason the utmost secrecy
is maintained about the meeting today,
even the names of those who attended
being kept as dark as possible. Joseph
Israel is the head circulator of the pc
tition asking the city council to create
a restricted district within which the
carriages cannot stand without the con-
sent of the owners of the property In
front of which they purpose to solicit
business and the chief of police. The
carriage men claim that this gives des-
rotic power to the police chief, and
they are fighting to have things left as
thew are.
