EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

Tell me what a man does with his
Ilrst raise" successful financier used
to say to me, land 1 will tell you if he
has any chance of becoming a rich man.
The other day happened to be present
at the family councils of a certain young
couple when the husband announced that
ne had just received a raise of ten dollars
a month.
The little wife, who is an enthusia site
young person, clapped her hands like a
child and cried, ''Oh Frederick then we
T1l nave tnat nice apartment we wanted.
Ihat was just ten dollars a month more.
III go around tomorrow and see if it is
sun vacant. Oh, say we may
At this prompt disposal of his hard
earned raise, Frederick, who is the COM
mon sense of the partnership, looked a
trffle dubious, but the enthusiastic little
person was ready for him with a dozen
advantages such as that the kitchen was
cooler and more conveniently arranged
and that the house was so near the river
that they would be able to have a canoe
and go out on the river hot summer even
fngS This last bit of diplomacy was a
telling stroke, and before 1 left Frederick
was evidently considerably more than half
persuaded.
Now I have sometimes heard these
same young people bewail the fact that
although they realized the need of saving
for rainy day, they needed every cent
of his salary to live on. Whether that
was strictly true not is an open ques-
ton, but there is no question bur that
If they did live on that up to the time
of the raise, they could have continued to
live on that or very little more after
wards, and could have saved at least a
part of that raise.
New what does a raise mean to you
young people who are receiving your first
advance in salary?
Does it mean the possession of some
hitherto unattainable luxury?
Does it mean that you won't have to
look after the nickels and dimes so closely
in the future?
Or does 1t mean at least some increase
in saving power?
A young business woman who in the
past six years has worked up from ten
to twenty dollars a week told me she
found it just as hard to save on twenty
as she did on ten, and that altogether she
had not saved over a hundred dollars.
Undoubtedly that girl had regarded each
raise as an enlargement of her spending
power.
Another girl who has worked about the
eighteen dollars a week has saved nearly
a thousand dollars. Each time 1 was
advanced in salary she said, II saved
half the raise. You see, reckoned that
If I could live on eight dollars a week
I could certainly live on nine even if my
salary had been raised to ten
Now there are, to be sure, many people
who can never enjoy the present be-
cause they are always saving and scrimp-
ing to an unnecessary degree for the fu-
ture.
That think, is the very worst kind of
because it means wasting
a perfectly good present for the sake OF
a future that may never come.
But between these two extremes, there
is always, a mean. And this time 1t is
a golden mean in more than one sense.

OLD MAIDS AND OLD BACHELORS.

Admonitions from the pulpit to old
maids and old bachelors to betake
themselves to the license clerks office
and enter, as soon as may be, into the
blessed state of matrimony are so
common as to excite little comment.
But there is a minister tn Denver, a
Rev. Mr.. Huffner, who recently de-
nounced old maids so violently that his
utterances got into print and as a re-
suit a controversy has started which
threatens to cover the entire country.
A Mrs. White of Providence. an ac-
tive suffragist, Immediately added to
the gayety of the proceedings by pay
ing her respects in the public prints to
the old bachelors, who, she declared,
were "cranks," Spoiled" "coddled to
DEATH and otherwise reprehensible.
Helen Gould rushed to the defense of
the unmarried women with a letter
to the Colorado minister which won
the applause of the entire old maiden
sisterhood. The fray, thus opened, has
continued to date with the rumbling
of heavy and light artillery in the dis
lance. at all points of the compass.
The controversy doubtless has serv-
ed to mitigate the dullness of the mid

where. 1t will end lust where it be-

try to regulate the private affairs of
men and women. Besides the bach
elor and spinster question doesn't call
for discussion. 1t is safe to say that
there are not many more bach
elors and old maids, in proportion to
the population, now than there were
fifty years ago. And a multitude of
bachelors and spinsters are what they
are by virtue of circumstances which
do them no discredit. If any consid-

Refugees at FL Paso.

Indian war days, with their attend
ant scenes of the deepest heart in
terest, have been duplicated out on
Magoffin avenue in an abandoned
lumber yard where the Mormon refu-
gees are huddled together.
Pathos is written all over the pic
ture of these brave women pioneer
settlers in Mexico, who have been
driven from their homes and separ-
ated from their husbands by the fate
of a foreign war. The crying babies,
tired, nervous mothers, and restless,
hungry children add their pathetic
touch to the scene. But it is the brav-
cry of these same pioneer women, the
cheerfulness under stress of a great
calamity that touches the feelings
deepest.
They are thankful for deliverance
and for the kindness which has been
shown them by warm-hearted peo-
pie. Beds were spread on the hard
board floors of the temporary shell
ter and babies were put to sleep on
rolls of bedding, little girls mothered
their dolls or helped to quiet the
younger children while the few men
who had accompanied the women and
children from their homes made fee
BILE attempts to assist the refugees to
be as comfortable as possible.
One Mormon mother told of her ex-
periences in the colonies when she
had been forced to surrender every
thing of value in her home to the
rebels, who searched for loot with the
aid of a six-shooter drawn on
woman.
Another demure little woman told
how her husband had defied the rebels
to take their property after he had
refused to surrender his arms.
Still another told a little incident
that happened near her home when
one of the Mormons engaged in
friendly contest of rifle craftsmanship
with a group of the rebels and hit
the mark three times straight to the
chagrin of the awkward insurrectos.
They have little to say of their ex-
periences, however, fearing that any
thing they might say would cause
further trouble in the colonies where
their men are. They are not afraid
and are willing to go back, they say.
But the officials of the colonies de-
cided otherwise and one of their doc
trines is to obey. For their persecu-
tors, they have nothing but contempt
contempt for the men who pretend
to lead and pity for the ignorant fol-
lowers One regiment of American
troops would defeat the entire rebel
army, they say, They had no fear,
for the United States promised them
protection, and they had faith Now
they do not know what the next move
will be. If the men come out, they
will seek friends in Arizona and Utah
or will return to their colonies in Chi
huahua whenever it is possible. If
the men do not come they will wait.
Women have always waited since his
tory began. These patient Mormon
women, in their travel-Soiled house
dresses and tired. drawn faces, are
marking another period in the history
of the southwest just as the women of
the Indian days did in their time when
they were hudd1ed together in this
same way.-El Paso Herald.

pendent of considerations of luxury;
their anxiety has been for the head

commanded, rather than worshiped.
They have drunk deeply of life and
found it good, but its sweets have not
enervated them. They have been free
agents, bound neither by the purveyorS

THE PROBLEMS OF EXISTENCE.


It makes me ashamed to keep want
ing more money. But, after all, that
want is the great spur of civilization,
writes E. S. Martin in Harper's Maya
zine for August. If most of US didn't
want more closet-room, and a garden,
and a roof garden sIeeping-apart-
ment for the baby, and little larger
dtnner-parties than we can give as it
is and more of them, and food, clothes
education, leisure, travel, automobiles,
and all the other necessaries, sup
pose all progress would s1acken. The
whole apparatus of civilization seems
to be geared to these more or less
humble human desires. Politics is a
sort of rash that breaks out on bodies
of men that are tired with too much
work, or hungry, or starved in their
spirits, or thwarted in their aspira-
tfons, who need more closet-room
and gardens. The politicians are not
rulers, after all; they are doctors,
making diagnoses, and offering pre-
scriptions and treatments, and taking
fees, and f1unked a good deal of the
time by symptoms of the patient. A
real cure of human ailments by poll
tics is uncomfortable. There are too
many people, and they want more
than there is, and if they werc all sat
isfied for once at a quarter-past six
there would be a lot more of them,
and they would have developed a lot
more wants. by seven o'clock. But
that only proves that politics is a con-
tinuing job, that never will lapse, and
never will be finished so long es there
are folks on the earth.
1t is wonderful what is accom-
plished; how We endure labor, priva-
lions, disappointments, restricted clos
et-space, and lack of gardens, and go
on comparatively orderly and patient,
getting what we can and going with
out the rest. Shops are full Of goods
and the doors open; trains run,
crowds surge here and there. %rikers
strike and pickets picket, judges sit,
juries find, the polls open and close,
and the papers tell us who was elected.
Somehow, in all this muddle, life is
fairly safe, most of the people are fed,
babies get attention. the dead are
buried, the processes of existence gol
