I when they get old enough they will be able to do something for themselves"
 How are you paid for your work?" I asked. Many women who work are l interested in the Equal Salary question you know. and demand as much for their work as men get''
 T am paid on the same basis with men.' said Miss Hindes q belong tp the Union, and work just like the men. " How many cigars do you make q day?" was the next question.
 From POO to 250 is the average said she, but sometimes I make from 300 to 800 a day. It all depends upon the de- mand. Sometimes we shut down on numbers, because the supply exceeds the demand"
 You see I make every particle of the cigar by hand" she continued. T learned the Spanish method of making cigars when I was in Tampa and we use no mold or anything like that in our work at the M. and c. Company. We make the long filler cigar and the short filler"
 And what is the difference?" I asked.
 "The short filler is generally regarded as a scrap cigar" said Miss Hindes, but the way we make it, it isn't. For in stance, we get the blend of four toboccos in our short fillers-Porto Rico. Trimmer, Havana and domestic tobacco" 
 Cigars always have names like Pullman ! cars or something of the sort. and, of course, had to talk with the clever little | cigar maker about that, and also about the pretty ladies on the boxes with man. tillas thrown carelessly above their heads and with fan highly redolent of Span ish environment. flirting and smiling at everybody who comes their way.
 And what sort of cigars do you mako ! here?' I asked
 | There's the NJ and C. Panatello,v said Miss Hindes. corroborating my Pullman car theory, and the M. and c. 10 Cent Straight. Soto Smokers, the Havana l Smokers and the M. and c. Improved | T should think that men who love their
 cgars-as many Birmingham men do, better than their sweethearts or wives. . l suggested. would be glad enough to get their favorites Made in Birmingham -and by such nice girl, too.''
 "rhe process is very interesting" said Miss Hndes modestly, ''and it looks very easy Let me show you.''
 | And then she smoothed out a tiny bi- 1 Of crinkled up tobacco leaves. spreading | it carefully on the little marble slab and | then with a handful of tobacco she stuffed and pressed it into the filler. It looked like a big, fat lady being slowly compressed into brand new corset, with three sets of Hooks -Ons," and ever so many other things. Then she rolled and twisted and laid the little affair down and
 whacked into it. without sign of a pattern to go by and left cunning little
 train on the end of the dress. and then
 with tho aid of bit of ''stlck-um she tucked into shape and put the whole thing under miniature Guillotine and whacked into it-when, Presto! the Cigar stood before you. trim and neat as two-year- old. in its little brown coat. ready for some old gentlemen. after a good dinner,

 of blue-gray smoke above his head and yours, and tell you stories-Oh! such stories-of Wine. Women and Song-that

l In passing along Fourth avenue have you you ever happened to notice the pret- | ty little brown-eyed girl who sits in the wir dow of the M and c. Cigar company working away from early morn until dcwy eve rolling, pressing, cutting and making cigars?
 | II you haven't, the next time you pass that way, stop and see her.
 | She'll tell you an interesting story Of how she happened to choose cigar mak- l ing as a trade, and how well she has succeeded and how much she loves her work and a whole lot of other things that you won't forget-soon.
 When fairy tales of feminine success are being matched and special cases and notable instances of Birmingham girls who have "done things" are offered as evidence Miss Rena Hindes-the clever little eigarmaker, may be easily placed in the first rank, for she is letter perfect
 lon her job"
 I don't suppose she's ever been In the newspapers before; in fact, l know she hasn't for she was very much surprised wren I went to see her the other day and asked her to tell me her story.
 She's unpretentious quiet, studious and absolutely without affectation or conceit and tucked away in in the cozy little show Window she plies her trade = always cheerful, happy and full of the 1 joy of living.
 This little girl-still in her teens-knows more about the Cigar trade than any other dozen women in Birmingham Isn't it proverbial that women don't even know a good cigar when they see it, and the joke about women giving their hu usbands a box of cigars for Christmas pl lesent-"Pride of the Side Walk or some other equally catchy name, on the gold decorated box-s as ancient as the Mother-in-law joke-which has whisker- cites mile long.
 Miss Hindes knows all there Is to know about Cigars, and she talks about short fillers' and long fillers,' with the same degree of intelligence that the lawyer or the doctor, the shoemaker or the auto mobile man talks about his arIalrs- dra wing on the fund of knowledge that is safely deposited way back in her young little head

Putty-Head Hard to Penetrate.

Napoleon Bonaparte once said the
hardest task his artillery ever essayed
was the reduction Of a mud fort In
Egypt. 1t absorbed shot and shell as
the desert abs orbs rain. That's why
putty-headed man discourages you.
If you hit him in the side of the head
with sledge hammer you only make
a dent in his skull Then II you hit
him on the other side, the second
dent drives the first one out. He Is
capable of receiving and retaining
but one dent at time, and that on
the outside. The only thing you can
do to give him new impressions is to
lay his head out In the sun for a hun
dred years, when 1t will harden like
granite, which can be easily pune
tured.

His Preference.

A distinguished eye surgeon tells a
good story of his hospital days. Three
other young, newly fledged oculists
and himself were chatting in their
quarters in the hospital when the con-
versation turned, as was natural in
young men, upon the beauty OF diner
emit colors OF eyes. One championed
the superior brilliancy and sparkle OF
the blue eye: another the depth and
fire OF the brown. while the third was
all for the clear, cool light of the
hazel. After they had exhausted their
eloquence. with the usual effect Of con-
frming themselves in their original
opinions, the fourth young sawbones
suddenly broke in:
Il don't care a hang about your blue
eyes, or your brown eyes, or your gray
eyes! Just give me sore eyes and
plenty OF 'em-and I'll be happy!"
