THE WOMAN WHO CLIMBED A
 STEEP HILL.

In the January Woman's Home Com panion there is an interesting report of a woman of fifty who successfully met a financial crisis that befell her fam ilyn.t From a life of luxury she was suddenly projected into a position where she had to earn a Ewing for those dependent on her and, at the same time, take care of them in the home. She got a position in a H- brary and also developed a talent for newspaper writing. Following is a portion of her own story:
 There is nothing so like being chained to a galley-oar as to be house. keeper and wage-earner at the same time. To hurry home from your desk at six O clock to the family cook-stove; to keep the coa--oil can on your mind at the same time with the revolution in Turkey; to darn stockings while you take items through a telephone and watch a pudding in the oven-it is this Lncessant push and pull of which the woman of leisure cannot have the smallest comprehension.
 tThen there is the gasping dread of not being able to pay what you owe! In spite of my determina ton to have nothing on the table that was not settled for when it was delivered, it was impossible not to get behind once in while. Not to have penny of margin; to save every crust of bread and drop of milk to launder your shirt waists after ten o'clock at night; to walk in a wind-and-rain storm with arms full of bundles to save a nickel car-fare,-oh, the sordidness of it is simply smothering!
 "Yet, what of the sense of triumph which comes when you have fought inch by inch, out of the bog of pri- vation to the supporting security of solid ground? What ingenuity it in vites! It has given me a sense of self-respect for which it Is worth work ing pretty hard. The economic de- pendence of woman upon man may be theOretica ly perfect, and is a mighty comfortable arrangement for her, but there is one thing it never can give, and that is the consciousness of being an economical unit.'

Appointments Of
 Women Deputy
 SheriffS Revoked

New York, Jan. 5-Women lawyers were shocked today when they learned that Sheriff Julius Hamburger had re- voked all the appointments made by him of women deputy sheriffs. They looked harshly at a copy of the opin> ion which had been handed to him by Emanuel Blumenstiel, his counsel that under Section 1,S45 of the penal code women could not be named as peace officers.
 The law declares that such officers must be voters in the state.

widow of a king" Of her the writer says in part: "Elsie Hensler was a native of Boston, and for a time con nected with one of the great circuses here, more than half a century ago.
 Attracting the attention of King Fer dinand of Portugal, she became his morganatic consort, in 1870. The mar riage took place in Germany. She still survives. She makes her home
 at Lisbon, and has a large fortune and extensive estates, which, much
 to the chagIrn of her consort's royal relatives, she inherited at his death.' .''
