Are Women Making Good?|

81 HE is the real woman, is this now
A woman who has come among us.
- The bachelor girl. tho girl who
wishes TO make her own living is rec
osnlzcd by everybody. She ia a new ere.
alton She has gone away from all tho
old traditions of womanhood aud she has
mado good. In every odlcc, IN every
store. Utmost everywhcrc We look we SEQ
a competent sclf-rcIinnt womnn taking
cnre OF thlnGs. She may not be pretty,
che may not wear the latest things 10
hats and gowns aud skirts. but she Is
self-sufncient and kuowS her work and
does 1t This Is her grcntest rccommen-
datlon.
Positions that were formerly held By
men, and which many people thought
could only DO held by males, arc open
today to this militant creature She
does not worry about hor rat, or her
cbiropodist or her manicurist, or tho very
latest things In earrings, She goe5 along
md does her work. and the average
low-browed inefficient man Is compelled to
take orders from her.
The reason OF this Is obvious. The
bachelor girl Is competent and sbo knows
II. She has mono of the vices OF her
brother and 1t IS nico md healthy for
a man who wishes To hayo things os
they should be to tolk with her md &C.
ccpt her ideas OF how things should be
done. A clear brain ond n retcntive
memory nre her principal assets. She
IS devoted to her employers business
welfare and he places absolute confidence
in her.
The reasons for all these things are
easily given. Any man who has a ca
pacty for discernment prefers n clear
eyed bright woman In charge OF his az
fairs- Tho days OF the man with the
foul breath and the periodical souse nrc
numbered. II be should wish TO retain
his place 10 the business world be can
only do so by showing q capacity equal

Womnn's Superior Fitness.
The Vice president and general man
ngcr OF one OF the largest corporations
In the United States was talking some
days ago about the labor problem. He
was very positive IN his statements OF
the woman's superior ltness He said:
Some years ago our concern would
not consider n woman for any clerical
position. Today we have very few men
left and they are all men who have
families and who do not touch. taste or
handle intoxicants. Women have not
driven men to the wall. but tho lotter
have been the aggressors ngainst them
selves. They have not kept pace With
the demands OF the hour.

r. R. ACCIDENT.
VIM stotler Killed by a Wabash
Freight at Wellsville.

One of the saddest accidents
that has occurred in Wellsville for
many years took place last Thurs
day about II 80, when William
Stotler, of Middletown, was
crushed to death between two
freight cars near Blattner's poul-
try house.
j. E. Elder of Laddonia gives
the Message some account of the
happening. Mr.. Stotler and his
wife had driven over from Mid
dletown with some poultry. 1t
seems that he had to go over the
railroad tracks, and he thought
fully remarked to his wife that he
meant to be very careful. He was
on foot and was caught between
two freight cars which were
switching. The corners jury cen
sured the railroad employees,
charging them with carelessness.
Mr.. Stotler was about GA years
old. The wife survives him and
several children. One child, Geo.
Stotler, resides at Laddonia.
Several years ago a sister-in-
law of Mr.. Stotler, Mrs. A. c.
Stotler, was terribly mangled and
killed by the cars at Laddonia. A
daughter of the latter, Miss Eu
genia Stotler, was awfully crippled
in the same accident with her
mother.
