The stock yards ward at Chicago, with its 10
square miles of filthy yards and alleys and its streets
half the time under water, about the meanest
proposition in the way of street cleaning offered
q ward superintendent 1t was clearly job for
hard headed practical man who could deal firmly
with roughnecks, and didn't mind bad smells
But Miss Anna Murphy young and cookbook
ing, got the job She had passed the civil service
examination and there was no denying her. good
many people thought that was pushing the new
woman idea just trife beyond the limit of common
sense.
Anna Murphy didn't think So She had mea-
ger appropriation, but like good housewife she
made it go around First she cleaned up the alleys;
then, white-washed the fences next, established and
strictly enforced regulation to care for garbage;
finally she piled the refuse from the alleys in the
water-soaked Streets had it covered with ashes and
gravel, and, before it was aware of it, the stock
yards district had beautiful new highway, built
without cost as an incident to cleaning up the ward

S DISTINCTLY BAD TRAIT
Too Many GlrIs Aim at compIsts Mo-
noPoly Of Men Who Pay
Them Attention.

Are you one Of the girls who Is 80
feaful of sharing your good times
that you steer men from the other
girls?
There are many girls like that, and
they are not loved by their own sex
in consequence.
II 1t were only the unpopular girl
who acted thus there might be come
excuse for it-a man on her horizon is
such wonder that she wants to hold
him. But there are girls who are
bellies who are selfish about keeping
men to themselves
Why do they do it7
Perhaps from vanity. They like to
seem the great belle OF their set, the
one with an ever-growing string OF ad-
mirers. So they calmly take every
strange man they meet as their prop
erty and take no chances by intro
ducing him to other girls.
Perhaps from jealousy. There is
many a girl who would Indignantly
deny being jealous who presents that
appearance by her dread OF sharing
her attention. She makes a point or

friends apart; she never introduces
save when driven to 1t, and quickly
follows the Introduction by detraction
OF the other girl to the man, some
times by open misunderstanding
Perhaps from selfishness. She
thinks that the fewer girls a stranger
in town knows the more time and
money he will have to spend upon
her.
Whatever the cause, it is poor
one and shortsighted. A girl must be
uncertain OF her own power to charm
tint she fears to stand her chances
with other girls. A girl whom a man
likes will be singled out by him from
the midst OF dozen fascinating maid
ems. II he doesn't like her, nothing
can chain him to her.
And the more girl seeks to keep a
man to herself the more FESTIVE grows
that man. 1t is fatal for any girl to-
have ownership airs with the men
that are nice to her. If the man be
serious in his attentions he begins to
wonder IL his fair one is jealous. II
he is only polite, he thinks the girl
misunderstands poIiteness and cools
of forthwith.
The more eligible man is the high.
er he rates himself; the more inclined
to sheer away from the girl who seeks
to monopolize him.
