The Anvil Queen From New Jersey.

Mrs. Clark Fisher of Trenton, N. j.,
Is a monarch In her domain. From
Panama to Maine, from Trenton to
Nome, she is known as the anvil queen.
When the manufacturers Of the United
States had a banquet in New York
WI Ting Fang, the willy old Chinese
diplomat, singled out Mrs. Fisher and
asked to be presented. He pronounced
her a remarkable woman. She Is the
wife of Captain Clark Fisher, who sue
ceeded his father in the anvil industry
which his father established in 1889
In Portland, Me. Captain Fisher en-
tered the navy at the beginning of the
civil war as assistant engineer. He
retired in 1873. He and his wife were
injured in the Menlo Park railroad ac-
cident in 1902. He was eve able to
resume his work, and a few years
later he died. His wife recovered.
Up to the time of her accident she had
been a prominent society woman. She
was always fond of p~hilanthropic
work, and in that capacity she did
many acts that will always be remem-
bered. She had also ONE knowledge
of her husbands business, and when
he became incapacitated she took
charge of the works. She tackled the
trade, anvil making, from the ore up.
With a working mans blouse over her
gown she took lessons in every depart
ment. The workmen appreciated her
knowledge of the shop and were proud
of her. She knows how to enjoy life.
She has a summer villa on Lake Como,
Italy. Last summer there was a re-
gatta on the lake. She entered the
contest, and, taking charge of her mo-
tor boat, the Carlotta, she not only won
the prize, but wrested from Signor
Volpa, inventor of the famous Volpa
engine, the speed prize. She was at
the wheel.

Mrs. Anna Margaret Scott of Den
yer is the only woman in Colorado
who plays politics just as men play
the game. In no offensive way she is
called a 'eboss." In fifteen years she
has lost her ward but twice. She has
won every primary In which she has
enf ed. She does not look the part.
There is nothing in her voice, manne
or dress to suggest the strong minded
woman. She dictates who shall be

Che Day

Alphonse set the coffeepot close to
Sheldon's hand and retired to the bar,
there to indulge In a glass of beer.
The dinner rush was over, and be was
certain that no one would come now
until after the tbeaters let out.
Meanwhile the two young people at
the table would surely chat for half an
hour or so, which time Alphonse might
spend with profit In discussing with
the fat bartender certain nice points
In the mixing of cocktails.
Meanwhile his two patrons slipped
their coffee, and Sheldon lit the cigar
that Alphonse had brought. When he
dined alone the cigar came from the
corner box on the five cent end, but
when the young lady came Alphonse
always brought a perfecto from the
box in the ice chest with an elaborate
ly casual 1.-THE usual, monsieur"
This was intended to impress the
guest with the belief that Sheldon ha-

bitually smoked fat p~erfectos with
red and gold sashes. Tonight Al
phonse's elaborate politeness was ig-
nored by the usually genial Sheldon.
"Now for the news" he began as the
waiter headed for the bar. II couldn't
wait for Saturday to tell you, though
1t is only two days off"
isn't 1t funny that we always fall
back on Saturday night?" commented
BessssNs don't know whea@-we hove
been out to dinner in the middle of
the week."
"Never, l guess" agreed Sheldon.
"You see, Saturday is a sort of holt
day. l get my salary, and you get your
check from the publishers, and we're
both happy and content, ever if not in
agreement"
"We would be in agreement If you
would only stop considering a proposal
as an essential feature of the Satur-
day celebration" reminded Bess, with
O show of severity. "You must go and
spoil it all by proposing, Fred, when
I've told you long ago that to marry
would spoil my career. l am making
a little name for myself In the art
world, and l can't keep house and
paint too"
"And I've told you,' retorted Fred,
that | would not stop asking you to
marry me until you said Yes l guess
I've proposed to you sixty times in
the last sixty weeks, Bess, and I'm
good for sixty times sixty If | have to
hold out that long,"
did you ask me out to dinner to
propose to me?" demanded Bess.
Not primarily he admitted. "What
| wanted to tell you was that my big
chance has come at last. Benny Groll
has made a good contract, and he
needs a man to put a little money and
a lot of time into the business. l have
more experience than money, but Ben
wants me, and he'll give me a half in
terest If I'll coma In. It's what I've
been working and waiting for ever
since l came to town, Bess, and this
is to celebrate my good luck"
A slender hand was stretched across
the table and grasped his own
"Dear boy, l am so glad" she said
sincerely. "You have worked hard,
and you are entitled to your reward"
(Which is why l am going to ask
for it," retorted Sheldon. 81 am go

day, Bess, ! want you to work for,
dear. 1t will be pretty hard camping
out with the construction gang and
working on the job with the field
corps. 1 want to come back to camp
every night and feel that l have done
another good days work for you"
"Work, like virtue, should be its
own reward" paraphrased Bess. Shell
don shook his head impatiently.

sounds better than 1t works out. 1

done and Groll & Sheldon become a

II shall always be proud of what
you do, Fred reminded Bess. "We
two are the only ones from the old
town in all this big city. We have al
ways been chums, and of course 1
shall be proud of your great achieve

"That's not what I want" said Fred
