HousekeeperS Fine salary.

A salary of 5000 a year for eight years,
even in these days of high priced employees
and women's success in business, is a thing
to make many women pause-at least, to
consider, says the Brooklyn Eagle. Such
a salary was offered a few weeks ago by
one of the rich old Knickerbocker families
to an experienced housekeeper, to take
charge Of it's mansion. In telling about
what seems to be so generous a salary for
a woman, the informant declared that such
a competent person as the one who was
rendered the position was invaluable in
such a place. AS the woman who related
the advantages of trained help employment
In wealthy families is employed herself in
some of the most important and conf
dental positions with the rich, she re-
quested that her name be not used for pub
~lication.
To a reporter she said: my own work
for twenty years has been the opening Of
big homes for the reception Of the rich
from their s~ojourns in Europe, in arrang-
OF the big town and Newport houses at
various seasons; so 1 know the ALL of an
5000 a year h~ousekeeper. Many times a
woman in such a position has, within The
memory of a few years, been mistress OF a
similar home herself. She knows her sub
ject thoroughly. Sometimes she has held
such a position in the nome OF a social
leader until death or some other misfortune
has made vacant the place. At any rate,
she has spent several years in the Rtmos-
phere and duties which secure her such a

FINDS Girl stolen as Baby.

Sixteen years ago Ethel Evans. then a
bube of 10 months, was kidnapped from her
mother and sSept hidden from her until
last week. 'The mother, Mrs. r.. A.
Mdether Of Chicago Heights, remembered
her baby as she appeared the last time
she saw her, before she was carried away
by her father, Seth Evans.
When they met the baby of other years
had grown to young w~omanhood. The
meeting was touching, for the mother at
once recognized her daughter in spite Of
the long lapse Of years. and began to
bestow upon her the little endearments
that d mother lavishes on her child.
The story Of the separation and suisse
quent reunion was told by the mother and
daughter. each supplying the facts in
their story which the other could not.
When the mother OF Ethel was a IL
year-old girl she was married to Seth
Evans at Clay city, III. The young hus-
band proved-to be overbearing and diff
ficult TO get along with, it ~ said. When
Ethel was born the mother left him, going
back to the residence Of her parents.
Then one day the chiid disappeared from
her cradle. The heart-broken mother
searched for years for her husband and
child, but without result. She finally Sc
cured a divorce from him and went to
Buffalo. N. Y, where she married Mr..
Maether. who is a wealthy railroad man.
Later they moved to Chicago Heights,
where they now live.
Two years ago Evans drifted into Mount
Carmel, ILL.,, from Tennessee. He brought
with him the daughter he had kidnapped
years before from her mother. Evan
eked out an existence the best way he
could, while Ethel, the daughter, was the
household drudge. He was cruel to her,
it is said, and one day he kicked her
from the porch of their cottage and in
jured her hip so that she has been a
cripple ever since and has been forced to
/ walk with the aid Of a crutch.
One day last summer Ethel was sent out
to watch the cow /while 1t grazed near the
summit of a high bluff. The COW became
~entangled in the rope with which it was
tethered and fell over the bluff, breaking
It's neck.
Evans became enraged when he heard of
the death of the COW and beat his daughter
into Inconsistencies with her own crutch.
The beating, however, proved to be the end
of her martyrdom, for the ~nelghbors heard
o. the occurrences and posses were formed
with the avowed purpose OF lynching the
father.
He escaped, but the girl was we'll cared

The RenonrnernI SCI

The manner in which a woman will arise
to meet an emergency frequently and right
fully demands the admiration of the less
resourceful and less courageous sex, relates
the Chicago Tribune. We hasten to give
an Illustration. A woman in Flatbush.
N. Y, having been incased in a hook up
the back" gown, dismissed her maid with
permission to spend the night at the bed
side OF a sick relative. When midnight
came to Flatbush she discovered herself
alone In her home and helpless in the
clutches OF those hooks-but not hopeless.
With a resourcefulness which we offer
as proof for part of the predatory state
ment she threw a cloak over her shoulders
and went into the street looking for helm.
blatbush was asleep and darkened except
Tor one faint light on the second floor of
a residence newly occupied by q stranger
come to town. With a COURAGE which we
offer as proof for the other part OF the
PREDATORY statement she made s~traightway
Tor that house, at the door Of which, in
answer to her imperative summon on the
BELL the new and now astonIshed and
startled householder presented himself. His
wife was In bed. The hooked up LADY,
marched by him, ascerded to the bedroom
and presently descended unlocked.
Something seems to tell us that II q
man had found himself hooked up In IN,
