With what scorn do certain of our
economic reformers scoff at the girl
who prefers working for five dollars a
week In store or Office rather than in
a factory or mill for twice or three
times that amount as a skilled oper-
ative. Yet how little are they justi-
fed. The ideal destiny of every prop

riage. There are no old maids of IS.

may relate to her earning capacity at
thirty. Bless her heart, no. The idea
that she may be still earning her own
living at that age never enters her

finds that, rightly or wrongly, there

caters to the social ends of life. She
probably would not explain it just
that way, but she prefers to be the
stenographer or the saleswoman. The
possibilities of her marrying well are
greater. Her married estate and the
social position of herself and her chill
dren are more important than the pay
envelope. She will be a wage Garner
only a few years. She expects to be

against the many? The social reform
ers are all wrong. Pride does not
cause this point of view in the work

er, pure instinct as broad as creation.
And If the dear reformers imagine
they can eradicate or change it they
are very badly mistaken. For which
the whole world should be very, very
thankful.

REAL AuTocRAT OF THE ROAD.
Commodore Vanderbilt Sole Ruler CT
His Railway Lines.

Commodore Vanderbilt, at the age
of so, was the greatest railroad auto
crat this country has known. Nova
days railroad ownership is a compli-
Gated affair; Vanderbilt made it a one
man affair.
He managed his properties, spent
many millions IN their reconstruction,
and manipulated their securities with
absolute independence of all minor
ity stockholders. That the public had
any legitimate concern with his rail
roads would have struck the commo-
dore as absurd Once, upon the wit
ness stand, he repeatedly replied:
None of your business, TO regular
~ authorized inquisitor who was at
tempting TO get certain first-hand in
formation concerning the Centrars af-
fairs Before he obtained control Of

fairly complete; afterward they did

tempt for the law and its representa-
tives. Law he. once reared, what

 Most Putnam people work every day in some strained, unnatural position bending constantly over desk-rid- ing on jolting wagons or cars--doing laborious housework; lifting, reaching or pulling, or trying the back in a hun dred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and in. jure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of Altering the poisons from the blood.
