new TEXT BOOK
Mr.. DOugherty's Touch Type.
writing Secures Recognition.
To Be Issued by Sherwin Cody,
the Chicago Publisher.

After Mr.. Dougherty, president of
Dougherty's Business College, had de-
hvered his recent address at the Ma
t;onal Convention of Commercial Teach
ers, in Louisville, KY, Sherwin Cody
the well known publisher of text books
on English composition and business
letter writing, came to him and said
that he had been for some years look
ing for someone with good, original
ideas on touch typewriting, to prepare
a text book for him. to be included in
his series for the use of business men
and commercial colleges. Mr.. Dougher
ty he said, had what he wanted, and
this was the beginning of negotiations
which have resulted in an arrangement
by which Mr.. Dougherty is to prepare
a complete touch typewriting guide
This will be issued during the coming
summer. and the outline of the book
will be in Mr.. Codys hands before he
leaves for a trip to Italy in February.
The new text book will be based
generally upon the typewriting portion
of Mr.. Dougherty's previous Manual of
Shorthand and Typewriting, which en-
bodies his Shorthand System also.
Tie unique results, in speed, ac-
curacy, and Quickress of mastery, Sc
cured by the Dougherty touch typewrit-
ing methods, are winning widespread
attention and endorsement. The new
book will meet a general need, and is
sure to be in large demand with COM
nercial institutions.

the creator of literature has no more
need of rules than the creator of the
universe. Referring to her theory, that
there is but one rule for pOetry-1t
must not offend the sense-she made
that apply to all forms of literature.
In the general discussion that fol-
lowed some held that Miss Bars posi-
ton was bold and original enough to
be open to serious question. while 9TH
set rules had spoiled more books. SER
mons and literary productions than
they had helped
Prof Starr said that "rules were
merely incidental. the writer must
have inspiration; study types, not
rules; the drill and practice habit bet
ter than any set of rules: rules were
only guides to form and the great
thing was to grasp great thought
L. G. Bailey agreed with Miss Barr
and claimed that the arbitrary literary
rules of that period drove John Keats
from England and to DEATH banished
Byron to the continent. and brought
forth his English Bards and Scotch
Reviewers plea togive place to
the ideal; and mentioned the work of
Sidney Lanier, who gave his short but
brilliant life for a literature free from
arbitrary rules of composition.
Part second or the meeting was de-
voted to a free for all discussion of
Mr.. Whites book. "a Certain Rich
Man" 1t was opened with Mr. Gleed's
criticism, read by Mrs. Isabel Near
thur, and a review of the book by
Miss Barr, lately appearing in the
Club Member. The discussion brought
out many interesting points. the gen
eral opinion being that Mr.. White had
at least added new luster to western
authorship by this timely and read
able book.
The meeting was enlivened by
numerous musical selections. and adj
journed to meet February 9, at which
time officers for the ensuing year will
be elected.

MATrHEWsON MAY QUIT.
Giant Pitcher Objects to All the Year
Around Contract.

New York. Jan. 22.-Basebali fans
in New York are alarmed over re-
port that the New York NATIONALS may
lose Christy Matthewson. 1t is said
that the pitcher has refused to sign
with New York because of objections
to the new major league contract
which binds player to his club all
the year around.
3 That he is also dissatisfied with the
salary arrangements and is thinking
of quitting baseball for a business ven
ture, is the assertion of some of his
friends. Matthewson, it is said, has
saved up considerable money and is
only awaiting a favorable opportunity
to launch forth into a contracting bust
ness in Maine, which has appealed to
him for some time as money making
proposition.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

OF all the notices a newly wed
couple can adopt, Live and let live"
seems to me about the best.
When marriage takes place two
people come together who have been
brought up under entirely different
surroundings and under different con-
ditions
That means that it is Inevitable
that they should have different hab-
its and different ideas.
Furthermore, since despite their
promises TO be one they really are
two individuals and two individuals
of opposite sexes, it is also inevita BILE
that they should each have certain lit
tie eccentricities.
Now, if either sets out to make the
other conform to his ideas and give
up all the habits and eccentricities
that differ from his, there is either a
lost individuality or trouble ahead to
be reckoned with.
I heard a young bride fretting the
other day because her husband would
not give up smoking.
HE knows I don't like it, she de-
clared, land it does seem to me as
If he ought to give 1t up. No, he
doesn't sem to suffer from it at all,
but it doesn't seem te me as if it's
a good habit. Does the smoke make
me sick? Dear me. nc. 1 don't real
I can't see any need of it. My broth
ers and my father never smoke and
don't see why my husband should. .
It's an attitude like that which
| plants the seed of divorce.
If a woman objects to a mans
| smoking because she thinks 1t hurts
| him or because the smell of smoke
makes her II, can understand her
| position.
But the woman who objects just
| because it is a habit different from
what she is used to. because it is a
habit she is not in sympathy with and
cannot share-well, I wouldn't very
much blame the man who said Of her:
| "a woman is only a woman but a
! good cigar Is a smoke
| If that bride should apply the motto,
Live and let live" I fancy, that she
| would find that welded life went much
more smoothly.
| I know another woman who frets
| because her husband will not wear the
| same kind of underwear that she does,
| and another who protests almost every
| morning because her husband eats
| his fruit at the end instead of the be-
ginning of his breakfast, and a man
who is unhappy because his wife goes
| to the Presbyterian while he goes to
| the Orthodox church, and another who
| is deeply disturbed because his wife
| believes in woman's suffrage while he
does not.
I think they are all perfectly fool
| ish.
| All these differences are so tremen-
| dously unimportant.
Doubtless a husband will change a
habit or give up an eccentricity for a
wife he loves, and vice versa, but why
| should they be asked to?
| AS long as habits do not hopelessly
collide and eccentricities are not real
| 1y Objectionable. why shouldn't they
| both e'live and let live?"
The best governed countries, they
say, are those which have the fewest
| laws.
And it SENS to me that the most
| harmonious welded life must be that
| in which the parties place the fewest
| possible restrictions on each other.

NO SEATS; NO FARE.
New Law Promotes Crowded Condl-
ton of Street Cars.

Trenton, N. J.. Jan. 22-The passage
by the common council here of an or
6inance providing that all persons who
cannot get seats on trolley cars need
rot pay fares. has given rise to an
unusual traction situation. Crowded
cars have suddenly become popular.
Stand up and save your fare is the
slogan of hundreds of men passengers
who have never before been known to
give up their seats to women
The ordinance provides that conduc-
tors must refund fares to men who give
up their seats to women passengers.
Some women object now to the pre-
vailing gallantry of the opposite sex as
they really prefer to stand.
