Keep Your Troubles to Yourself.

why Lost My Position, 2 is the
subject of practical talk to BUSH
ness girls in the September Woman's
Home Companion. Here is one good
Niece of advice told in story form:
catastrophe recently overlook a
business acquaintance of mine: at
forty she lost position which she
had every reason to think was hers
for life. Death had removed a long
suffering chief and had given her a
new one. The first man had become
accustomed to the little tale of woe
with which she prefaced the morn
ing's work-the neuralgia which had
marred her nights rest, and the petty
annoyamces of suburban travel. In
reality she has few aches and pains,
and she adores committing. Her old
chief had learned &c run through his
morning mail while she rambled
along conversational lines. The new
man considered rambling a waste of
the firms time He did not stop to
remember that his predecessor was
partly to blame for the unbusiness-
Ike conduct of his stenographer, nor
her long years of faithful service; he
simply gave her two weeks notice,
and secured a stenographer more
to his liking.
Just because your employer
possesses more than ordinary self
control, and does not tell you bluntly
that you annoy him, do not imagine
that he is satisfied with chattering
or giggling worker. Probably he has
dropped a hint or two which you
have ignored, and he is now waiting
a plausible excuse to send you forth
in search of new position. So, il
you have good position which you
would like to hold, why not occasion
ally take personal account of stock?"

menaced by an insurrecto force un-

that when the insurgents attack the

bers on the stairs of his home early
this morning. When the robbers or
dered hand up Bianchi tore the mask
from one of his assailants and

bers opened fire with revolver, hit

San Diego, Cal, April Small
pox in it's most virulent form is re-
ported at Ensenada, in Lower Cali
fornia. Forty deaths are said to
have occurred in the Mexican feder-
al prison.
No information about the plague
has come direct to San Diego, the
first reports to this city coming from
Calexico. These reports suggest that
the rebels at Alamo have refrained
from attacking Ensenada for that
reason.
San Diegans have been puzzled for
more than a week over the great
mystery that is being made about the
number of troops at Ensenada.
Heretofore the cuartel there was al
ways open to inspection, and anyone
could count the soldiers. OF late the
soldiers have been penned up and
no one has been able to say any
thing definite about the force avail
able to defend the town from inva-
sion by the rebels.
1t is thought that the Mexican
troops who recently arrived from
the south brought the epidemic with
them. Dr. Mckay, the quarantine
officer for the port of San Diego, has
not been officially informed Of the
situation, although a large steamer
from Mazatlan, touching at Ensena-
da, is due here tomorrow.
