FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW.

The great business world offers splen-
did opportunities for young men and
women-if they win only take them seri-
ously and make them steps in life
work. Fitting from one occupation to
another is neither wholesome nor remu-
nerative, and securing a footing where
there are benefits and sick funds is safe
guarding the future as securely as the
uncertain nature Of mortality permits
1 know Of many stores where Thanks
giving turkeys and Christmas presents
are supplemented by proft-shAring dur
ing the holidays, and sometimes all the
year through. I have found one place
where changes occur only al the call Of
marriage and death. There Is. az least.
one department store possibly many
more-where a little paper is published
once a month by the employees. for whose
benefit there is a sick fund maintained in
various pleasant ways, such as thsatri-
Gals and dancing parties
One Of the msxims OF the place IS
Keep your eyes and ears open and shut
your mouth and the value Of this ad-
vice is proved by the graduates who go
out into the world each year and blaze
out a path TO success. I found a sales
girl the other. day who was so sympa-
thetic 10 a patron that the idea OF a
Christmas gift for her originated IN the
woman's brain then and there. An arti-
Gle In the interchangeable class was re-
turned because bereavement made It IN
suitable as a holiday gift, and no diff
Guilty was placed IN the way Of the ex-
change. The girl made a personal mat

HARTMAN BUYS HIGHWAY
TO PROTECT HIMSELF.
Prevent Strangers From Approaching
Within Five Miles of Home.

NeWhurg, Aug. PA special meet
ing of the town board of Woodbury.,
Orange county, in which z. H. Harri-
man owns a summer home and many
hundred acres Of land, has been held,
and the necessary legal requirements
completed by which Mr. Hartman Sc
cures about three miles of highway
belonging to the town. Besides pay
ing big price for the roadway, Mr.
Hartman gives another strip of road
built by him, traversing the same ter
ritory by a different route.
The two roads runs from Central
Valley to Tuxedo past Tower Hill, the
site of Mr.. Harrimans new mansion,
and by Arden, where he owns a num-
Der of farms, and where his present
residence is. The road which he gives
is five miles long, and was built nine
years ago. 1t is of macadam.
Mr. Hartman has made every eff
fort to secure a summer place where
he and his family would be protected
from the curious public. His present
home was not sufficiently isolated
and he erected a new place this spring
at a cost of $4,000 Now he intends
to prevent strangers from approach
ing within five miles of his home, and
this necessitated the purchase of the
roadway.
Mr.. Hartman is expected to occu-
Ply his new home early in September
and preparations for his homecoming
have been begun.

There is more Catarrh in this sec

diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease

local remedies, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and there

NEAR BEER SHUT OUT

Under the law as it now stands the
sale of the substitute beer is prohibit
ed except within incorporated cities
or not less than 10000.
The recent police census gave
Americas a population of something
over 11,400, so the dealers here can
continue to handle the article.
But in the other incorporated
towns of the county the sale must
cease.
The state tax has been raised on
retailers from 5000 to $500, but this

Clerk Waters to indorse a check for
that amount recently. The man rep

autographed check for the signature
of Clerk Waters. The check came
back yesterday with the N, G. mark
prominently displayed. Clerk Waters
was in Athens on Tuesday, and the

to him the fact that the smooth Pitts
burgher had been in that town and
stung him for the same amount ex-
actly-$81. The fellow registered at
the Athens hotel under a different
name from that adjoining" the reg
lister of the Hotel Windsor, but though
a bogus name it was worth $81 there,
as here. Detectives are now endeav-
oring to locate the faker.
