Mr. Van Horn was connected with the

Self-Help for Country Women.

From Harper's Bazaar.
What else besides assurance has the
city woman that the country woman
lacks? She has polish. Her manners are
kept smooth by the continual friction
with all sorts and conditions of men and
women. More polish, more assurance,
greater ease Of manner the average city
woman has more of all these than the
average country woman. She is usually
quicker-tongued, but not necessarily
quicker-witted. Her speech comes more
readily than her sisters from the coun-
try, but for all that 1t may not be bet
ter worth hearing.
What are the influences in city life that
make for this finer polish, this greater re-
finement. this urbanity? What are the
refining influences in the life of Rusti-
cas- sister who lives in the city. She
learns something every day by watch
ing the neighbors and the people in the
streets. She has gone to the great school
of the city. She can hear the best preach
ers, the famous lecturers the foremost
actors and musicians. They all come to
the city to teach her what they have
learned of religion, science, music, art.
The pulpit, the theater, the art exhibi.
ton, the concert room-these are the
classrooms of the city school Of life.
Cities civilize. polish, educate largely
from the outside. The jewellers in cities
improve by imitation; they learn from
one another.

TAxICAB DRIVERS ON STRIKE
RANKS FILLED TEMPORARILY.
SAYS COMPANY.
Manager Finckling Says Men Are
Mistaken and That They Can
Earn More by New Pay Rate.

From thirty-five to fifty taxcab drivers,
employed by the Terminal Taxicab Com
pany, went on strike this morning, fol-
lowing the refusal of the company to re-
store the old wage scale and rescind the
commission basis of pay which has been
substituted
The work of the company is not tied up
today. however. as 1t has been able To
obtain drivers to temporarily fill the
ranks. The company employs between
fifty and seventy-ive chauffeurs.
The men assert they cannot make a liv-
ing out of the new scale. Manager j.
Tickling of the company said today that
no taXicab company has been more lib
eral. Competing companies pay accord
ing to the scale adopted by the Terminal
Company. he declares.
Besides that fact" continued Manager
Tickling. I'VE are more liberal with the
men. In the matter of the gasoline We
charge our men but one-half cent more
than the cost per gallon to us at whole-
sale. This means selling at loss TO US.
Other companies charge the men regular
retail price.
I'VE charge them nothing for FURNISH
ing their cars and other similar costs.
which other other companies charge to
their drivers. The Terminal Company
will not change from the stand ii has
taken
II Is asserted Dy tnOSe lHteTeSteQ ia
the Terminal Company that the drivers
will be able to make as much, II not
more, under the new scale than under
the old, if economical in operating cars
and diliEent in seeking business. The
more business they get and the more
saving they are in fuel for their cars
the more money they will make, j.
the theory, and the Terminal Company
will also profit by the increased bust
ness.
The play plan adopted is said TO be
the same as in New York and else
where. 1t is asserted that it has
proven satisfactory to the drivers AS
well as the operating company where
ever in operation.
The drivers state that the proposed
new scale will cut their wages to half
The men have been earning from so TO
$75 per month and using from ten t"
twelve gallons of gasoline a day. If they
are compelled to purchase it from the
company at 10 cents per gallon. or more
if the market goes up, they claim that
their wages will be reduced just that
amount. As the new scale provides for a
lower wage than they have been making.
they claim they could not possibly earn
more than S37 per month.
After giving their designations to Man
ager Tickling this morning the men scat
tered about the city. 1t was difficult TO
get a representative statement OF the
troubles.

1t seems to be one of the troubles with
any kind of elimination, whether of Gus

that what one person wants to get rid of
is apt to involve something precious to
some one else. No sooner do you get
shelf cleared of magazines that have been

to throw out an ornament or picture that
seems both faded and superfluous to hear
some voice utter the Mortified expostula-
ton. You are not going to throw that
away, But apart from this disadvantage
elimination takes so much time and SO
much courage that il is no wonder that
many of us, day after day. give space for
that which gives us neither comfort nor
pleasure. 1t is no wonder that we &C
