 '"The economic paradox that confronts women in general writes Mrs. George Haven Putnam, lis especially uncom- promising for the lady. In defiance of the axiom that he who works, eats, the lady who works has less to eat than the lady who does not" In spite of this discouragng outlook, new organization mics in September, to help women who want to work at professions other than teaching to find the work that wants them.
 This does not pretend to be a new and original scheme. It is one of those ideas that the air and the newspapers are full of in terms of the "jobess man, and the manless job" but there are certain as poets of this project that are different from anything that has been tried before. It is the first time that graduates of the women's colleges of a certain locality have made common cause in plan 10 help all specially equipped women wheth- CT they do, or do not, hold college de- grees.

NNE of the bravest men who ever |( lived died in Des Moines re N gently.
 m the year 1874 N. F. Miller. then g mail clerk on the Burlington road passed through direful wreck.
 In collision he was thrown to the floor of the mail car, and redhoi stove fell over on his face. Wedged in by the furniture, he was unable to move. One ear was burned off and ar eyeball destroyed. while the flesh and bones of one side of his face were roasted and his brain scared. 1t seems incredible, but 1t was an hour before Miller was extricated.
 When the doctors finally got to him one remarked: "All we can do is tc relieve him. He cannot live" Whereupon Miller retorted: 1T will live longer than you doctors" And he did
 $ He lay in the hospital for two years and suffered many delicate operations refusing all anaesthetics. The great surgeon of his time, Faen- ger, who became interested in Miller's case, performed many of the opera tions, making only a nominal charge for fees that otherwise would have been enormous.
 For two years the church bells in the vicinity of the hospital did not ring because of Miller's delicate condition.
 He returned to his mail car and served twelve years Finally, recog- nizing his injuries and service, congress created the position of superintendent of mails at Des Molnes and gave MT Miller the life position, a place he filled until his death.
 Though frightfully disfgured and a cripple for life, MT. Miller was always cheerful and a man whom it was a pleasure to know.
 Every day of his life conditions re- quired that his wound should be dressed. How he endured the constant draft upon his vitality for thirty-seven years is a marvel
 With one side of his face swath ed always in fine linen and most carefully dressed-he was an unusually hand some man-Miller wsls a striking figure
 One day he was asked the secret of his wonderful survival and replied:
 Why. Faenger saved my brain. We do not live by our bodies. We live in our minds"
 This man ran the whole gamut of heroism.
 Through the dun days of ceaseless suffering he was no less heroic than in the ghastly crisis of the wreck.
 And he stood living demonstration of the divine power of kingly mind over mere matter.

The Hot Weather Face

Yes. the weather is warm.
 You can read that much, writ large, in the faces about you.
 Note the face.
 Beads of precipitation tell of sticky clothes and burning feet. The air is murky; scowls wrinkle brows; mouths droop; eyes are sullenly glazed: ges- lures are of dissent and protest: thun- der clouds sit on foreheads; humanity languishes.
 Look at the faces.
 You try to look pleasant, but so much are we all kin, with the fussy bunch about you, your own tempera : ture goes up a notch or two.
 But wait.
 There's a face different. It Is the face of rare woman. Undeniably her face is red, like the rest of them, but her brow is placid. and her eyes have a laugh in them, and she smiles smile that will not come off. What relief to look on her! Your tempera = ture drops a little.
 Handsome?
 Yes, she is handsome by comparison with the ugliness about her, Other women are better dressed, but
 Their beauty is spoiled by the grouch they carry. The hotter they get tho grouchier they get, and the grouchier they become the hotter they get.

 How is that?
 Why, there's physical and mental

 Which is a bad combina ton, because mental heat Is more dangerous than physical.

 Poor child, 1t jared you to come down to the ordinary and I agree with you that honeymoons should last for ever. Only they do not. Humans are so constituted that they cannot continue to- bill and coo with out sometimes yawning and wishing for change. There's bit of philoso- phy in the adage that Familiarity breeds contempt"-not contempt, per haps, but satiety. Do not grieve over the setting oi your honeymoon. Cherish the memory of it.

who was supposed to have been at the
point of death at his home in the

to have left the county for parts I'M
known. An officer went to LISTERS
home a few days ago. armed with a
warrant for his arrest, and found that
he had suddenly gotten we'll and de-
parted. The governor of Virginia has
been asked to offer reward for his

Should The Election Be Heldp

What is known as the Ward Act,
fixing the qualifications of voters at
all special elections, and apparently
repeating the provisions of the dis
trict bond issue statute, has Just
come to the attention of the county
authorities. The Ward act is not in
dexed and had been overlooked by all
parties.
When the election was ordered to
be held in April, which is an off
time, the Court and everybody ell
was under the impression that the
bond issue statute controlled as to the
qualifications of the persons who
could vote, and that all persons vot-
ing at the preceding November cleo
ton were qualified, but if the Ward
act is to control, the only persons
qualified are those whose 1910 tax
was paid prior to December 18th,
1910, that is, six months prior to the
second Tuesday in June, 1911, when
town elections are held. If the cleo
tion had been held ordered he'd after
the second Tuesday in June, the per-
sons qualified for the regular Novem-
Der election in 1911 could vote.
If the county authorities determine
that the election must be held under
the Ward act, and we understand that
they now take that view of the mat
ter, it means that only 1850 voters in
Tazewell County are qualified and
that more than one half of the voters
of the County are disqualified.
Should not the election be called
off by the bond issue men? Would it
not be unfair and unjust for less than
one half of the voters of the County
to decide this important question, and
perhaps fix a debt of $625, 600 on the
people of the County, when MAORI
ty of the taxpayers are unable to
vote? If the Judge of the Court had
known f the Ward Act, it is not
reasonable to sup ose that he would
have ordered the election held at an
off time, and let less than one half
of the electorate of the county deter
mine this important question.
Why not ask the Court to enjoin
the election as ordered to be held, and
hereafter set aside the present order
and enter another order, fixing the
election at date when the people
may qualify themselves to vote, and
thus get full and fair expression on
the question?
The bond issue men can get this
done if they will ask it. If they do
not ask 1T it shows that they are
afraid to submit the question to full
vote of the County.

WHO'S STUNC?

The question has arisen as to
whether legal election can be held
on the bond issue on the 18th inst
The discovery has been made at the
ELEVENTH hour that district bond cleo.
tons come under different statute
from county bond elections, and that
the payment of poll taxes must he
six months before any such district
election before the voter can exercise
his suffrage. 1t is stated that there
are only about 1900 qualified voters
in the county, under these circum-
stances, and the further discovery has
been made, or estimated that a large
majority of those who can vote in
the bond issue election are favorable
to it. AS a natural consequence, those
opposed to the bond issue want the
election postponed until they can
qualify themselves to vote. or that
of the voters of the county
can qualify THEMSELVES. The total
vote in the last election was about
3, 600 in the County, and it is not
reasonable to suppose that vote as
large will be cast in the bond issue
election, which would probably leave
majority of the voters of the county
qualified at this time. Il is reason
able to suppose that the advocates Of
the bond issue will lose as many by
ION payment of poll taxes as the
anti bond issue people, 80 that the
'nly effect of the disqualification of
he voters will be the small vote
'olled. Hold the election and let come
