LIVELY FOR A LIVELIHOOD.

The melancholy beauty in widows
weeds who abruptly bursts into song
and in no bad VOICES stirred
thereunto less by the inspiration of
music than by the impulse of the
weekly pay envelope. Even the de-
mure young person who smiles de-
precatingly from across the way,
and, upon the encouragement of a
lifted eyebrow, comes over to your
table to cadge for champagne-she's
paid to do it, too. All very lively on
the surface; but they are lively, not
for the sake of liveiness, but of live
od.-Collicr's Weekly.

BRUSSELS CABMEN ACETATE.

Cabmen in Brussels found new
form of protest against the taxi
autos. They met to the number of
900 with their horses and cabs on
the plateau de Koekelberg, and ad-
journed en- masse to an adjoining
cafe.
Thereafter they paraded the
streets in line, with crepe OF their
whips, and carried a band of music
in the leading vehicles. Meanwhile,
the hated taxis drove thriving
trade.

SAMARITAN OF HER RACE.

DR.. Matilda Evans is colored
woman of Columbia. S. c., who has
established and conducts a hospital
in that city. She was graduated sew
cral years ago at the Women's Medi-
cal college Of Philadelphia, and, re-
turning to her old home. found the
negroes with no hospital. and the
first money she earned was used to
establish such facilities. She took
an abandoned house and had cots for
four patients. The hospital has
grown, and the wealthy whites. in
huenced by her self-sacrifce, have
begun to help her in the work.

MRS. CARNEGIE AND THE POOR.

Few people know that prior to her
marriage Mrs. Andrew Carnegie was
an ardent worker among the poor
and has continued her work, though
in a more restricted fashion. She
was Miss Louise Whitfield and is
many years the junior of Mr.. Carne-
gle. The one child of the union,
Margaret, was for some years ex-
ceedingly frail, fact which caused
Mrs. Carnegie to keep well hidden
from the public eye. Even now that
Margaret is sturdy girl her moth
or shuns society and devotes herself
to home life.

TENNESSEE OR GEORGIA?

A southern congressman recently
went into barber shop in a small
Tennessee town to get haircut. The
barber, after the usual flow of con.

that present economic conditions had
made women little better than a vas
SAL" She insisted that ANY one who
says no woman need be owned by a
man is only revealing the darkness of
her own mind"
One of the eXhorters, more vehement
than the others, said: What is wo.
man? Nothing but the female relative
of man. She is the daughter, or
wife, or mother of somebody. The man
is the noun; the woman the preposi.

man he loves, will you be mine?'
When she stands before tn marriage
altar, the clergyman asks, who Civ

Only one woman seemed content
with her lot. and she declared there
is no ownership in the marriage where

ried adroitly, and / missed. made
another lunge and succeeded In driy-
ing my spear point through his breast.
"He started roaring furiously and
snapped at my copper cased staff. then
made an attempt to strike at my arm
with his huge fore paw. so that
might drop my weapon. The powerful
brute hung on to my spear at thesone
end, while I as grimly held on at the
other end. His bites went through the
copper plate, and he started shredding
the wood beneath. Strenuously |
checked his further advances, and
gradually, for his wounds began to
tell, his resistance weakened, and he
dropped at last over the aperture of
| his den.
II pulled out the spear. but so much
strength still remained in him that he
seized the blade and bit it with a
force that left deep indentatiOns in the
steel. My companion then finished
him off with his own weapon. This
struggle from start to finish covered

that she had fallen from the top of a
