sonality and partly for the suffering
she endures because of her unpopular
ity.
And there are so many like her.
If the parents of this girl would only
take her habit of rapid speech in hand, =
and do all they can to correct it, even
employing an elocution teacher to give
her proper exercises; if someone who
knows her well enough would only
talk to her frankly about her way of
making interesting things uninterest-
ing-the whole aspect of her life might
be changed.
AS it happens this girl does not have
to make her way in the world, but
what a tremendous handicap a poor
transmitter is to man or woman who
does have to make a living. 1t divides
their efficiency and their chance of
success by at least two and probably
four.
How much unhappiness and inefi-
cheney, how many failures, how many
tears and how many bruised hearts
might be avoided if only families and
close friends instead of letting things
drift would frankly point out their
faults to people thus handicapped and
help them to overcome them.

CHAsES DRINKER. INTO RIVER.
Party at Beer Picnic Offer Drink to
Wrong Woman.

Atchison, Kan, June 9.-With the use
OF rifle and her strong right arm
MIS- Title MCGOWAN, temperance ad-
vocate, broke up a picnic at which beer
was being served near here Thursday
night Mrs. MCGOWAN was passing the
picnic grounds when one of the key
party, knowing her temperance senti-
ments, chidingly invited her to have
drink. She accepted a cup of the beer,
intending to take it away to use as
evidence against the merrymakers. One
of the men said she 9would have to
drink the beer or give it up.
She answered by picking up a stone
and striking the man over the eye with
it. The man grappled with her and in
the struggle his face was scratched
and his shirt was badly torn.
Mrs. MCGOWAN then secured rifle
and chased one of the party into the
Missouri river, firing a shot at him, but
missing him. Finally she let the man
swim ashore and apologize. His COM
panions had all fledsnJ -s-t- ,--,5 s-il,

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

Imagine a big power of electricity
stored up somewhere.
Imagine a lot of pulleys and motors
ready to be moved by that electricity.
And then imagine transmitter that
will not work at all metimes. and
sometimes only feebly. SC that most Of
the time the electricity is useless and
the pulleys and motors are idle, or else
moved by other stores of electricity.
That's a description of some people.
The electricity is their store of per-
sonality.
The motor and pu1leys are other
minds ready to be moved by the cleo
tricity.
And the transmitter that doesn't
work right is confused and unattrac-
tive manner and way of speaking.
Everyone must know such people
who suffer daily from the handicap of
a bad transmitter.
Just recently my attention has been
drawn to a particularly unfortunate
case.
She is a young girl of education and
refinement. She has. think, very
good mind. The electricity OF person
atty, you see, is far from lacking. But
the transmitter is very, very bad.
In the first place her manner of
speech is so hurried and nervous and
derstand her. Naturally that preju-
dices them against her. People who
talk with her sometimes have to guess
at half she says, and consequently
make mistakes which make them ap-
pear and feel awkward. And no one
likes to appear awkward. One is preju-
diced against the person who makes
one appear awkward, just as one likes
the person who helps one to appear in
teresting and clever.
, Furthermore, the confusion which
tets girl causes apparently reacts to
confuse her, and she repeats herself
and breaks the thread of h - story by
hanging a great weight of irrelevant
detail upon it. She is a victim of that
unfortunate habit of which 1 have
spoken before of stopping in the mid
die of a would-have-been interesting
account to decide was it Tuesday or
wedn esday 1t must have been Tues
day. because 1 went to Ruth's on
Wednesday. No, that was Thursday.
I guess it was Wednesday. after ALL
or some similarly unimpor' ant and un-
interesting detail.
Sometimes when I go about with
this girl and hear her bore and repel
people when she might SO easily inter
est and attract them If OILY the trans
mitter we're better, could almost
weep.
Partly for that wasted store of per-
