Helen Puts On Boys Clothing
To Escape Kitchen Drudgery

CINCINNATI, July 12.-Helen
Twinem, IT, of Lucasville, KY,
thinks that wearing trousers and
hoeing potatoes is better than
wearing skirts and rolling cigars.
Miss Twinem is a frank faced,
wholesome youngster. She was
brought up in the country and had
the run of 200-acre farm till
trouble came and her father lost
all he had. When he died she
was forced to go to work as a
kitchen drudge. The sharp con-
trast between kitchen work and
the outdoor life to which she had
been accustomed, set her thinking
and she decided to disguise her
self as a boy and seek outdoor
employment.
Downing boys clothing, she
came to Cincinnati. where her
masquerade was ended by a po-
liceman who found her in the
Pennsylvania depot.
II love outdoor life," she says.
II got so cents day for hoeing
corn at home. but could earn
only s150 per week doing house
work. and ! hated II anyhow. I

These Tiny Islands May Be
Purchased By Uncle Sam

Soon after the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, after the United States
acquired Porto Rico by conquest,
this government bargained with
Denmark for the purchase of It's
three West India possessions, the
islands of st. Thomas, st. John
and Santa Cruz. Negotiations
were, however, dropped at that
time, for Great Britain and
France conspired against the sale,
fearing that Uncle Sam would
develop too much power in that
part of the world.
But Denmark has suddenly dis
covered that she needs the money,
and she is again in the market
with her little islands. Count
Won Moltke, the Danish minister
at Washington, has been instruct
ed by his government to ascertain
whether the United States Is still
anxious to buy the islands, and
negotiations may be reopened at
an early date.
Should the negotiations termin-
ate successfully, Uncle Sam will
annex a population chiefly COM
posed of negroes. There are Danes
in the islands, but they are made
up almost wholly of officials and
their families, who would doubt
less return to Denmark should
the purchase throw them out OF
jobs.
The islands are located east of
Porto Rico and belong geograph-
ically to the group of Virgin is
lands.
Their chief industry is sugar,
rum being a close second; as a
matter of fact. there is no greater
rum producing spot anywhere on
earth. The trade is with the Unit
ed States and Denmark, almost ex-
clusively. The executive power Is
in the hands of governor-general
appointed by Denmark and three-
fourths of the legislature, elected
by the people.
Chistiansted in Santa Cruz Is
the seat of government, the larg-
est city being Charlotte Amahe In
st. Thomas.
The total area of the three
islands is 1873 square miles, and
the population in 1901. when the
last census was taken, was 30s-
EST. Isy
The total area OF Rhode Island,
the smallest state in the Union,
is 1850 square miles. so 1t will be
seen that Little Rhody" Is nine
times as large as the three islands
combined. Rhode Islands popu-
lation in 1900 was 452.566, or
about IA times as large as that OF
the Danish West Indies.
The language used on the
three islands is Spanish. but Eng
lish and Danish are understood at
the posts.
These islands would be useful to
Uncle Sam as outposts. and az
naval bases Of supply In the event
OF war. especially should Porto
Rico be threatened.

The mayor could ont see then
that there was any way to attack

The company did not make her

not literally violated any law, but
had simply harrassed and embar-

pay.
All of which led the woman to
think the ordinance a huge joke.
