you'll agree with me, I believe that there's something more important In the homely little line than appears on the mere surface.
 Do you know that's just what most of us women doing; we are hating the now and fighting what it has not brought us: we are looking away and across the housetops for ''the dawn of tomorrow and tomorrow, all of us know belongs to the 'never-never-land," for 1t may not ever come
 Suppose for instance, we hate like the mischief what we are doing
 Suppose you and l are girls in a shop and We hate waiting on people and since that is our attitude behind the counter we arc not going to be able to keep it a secret from the persons We serve across inc counter, and in turn it isn't going to Cause that one to reflect any kindness and good will back to us. On the other hand probably our bad humor will in- oculate her with it's poison and she'll go on in turn being unpleasant to some one else.
 Cross temper grows just like a snow ball grows; everything it touches is picked up and adds to it's volume.
 One little grouchy cross girl behind a glove counter can make her disagreea bie influence felt by 20 customers more or less during a single day.
 One girl lives to herself of dies to her self or even sells gloves to herself
 Where shes rebelious, l-tetnpered little clerk. she fills the fingers of every pair of gloves she sells with briers, and it is the business of briers to scra tch and hurt everybody they touch
 However, there's no use dwelling on the unha ppy side of the matter; the main point is that if she must sell gloves she ought not to rebel at having to sell them. She ought to enjoy it; the ad- venture of glowing 20 women and sending them away thrilled with at least a little of her spirit of happy service. wouldn't be such poor days happiness after all
 If our little glove girl were only "cud- ding down to the now and getting all the fun out of it that's concealed in the days work she'd see the pleasant side of the job, and recognize the fact that there is nice side to it-for even stupid, unresponsfve sort of job has way of sometimes waking up to show you just how nice it can be.
 Talk about "the total sdepravity of in- animate things" why it's nothing to the ieal intelligence and help a thing as dumb and lifeless as you think your job is. can wake up to manifest once the holder of it sends warm thrill of ap- preciation and affection toward the source of her weeks salary.
 If you. little Miss Stenographer, hate your pot hooks and grinning typewriter, don't think for a minute you are keeping your secret to yourself Every letter you write reveals it. and today's job is a protege of tomorrow's opportunity. and If you don't like your dowdy little job you'll never get the desired opportunity.
 You haven't been faithful over a few things. so you won't be made a ruler over many things.
 My work is not congen1al,' is the bur den of a great many letters girls write to me. and l always feel like writing back:

INDICTED POLITICIANS NUM-
PREPARE FOR TRIALS

indianapolis, June 23.-Thos. Tag
CART, Democratic national commit
teeman, and others of 128 politicians
indicted yesterday by Marion county
grand jury refused today to be deep
ly concerned over charge that they
had conspired to commit election
frauds.
At city hall, where practically every
office contributed it's quota of indict-
ed men, including Mayor Joseph E.
Bell, there was a little more gossip
than usual, but the city's work was
uninterrupted.
At police headquarters, which had
contributed its chief, Samuel V. Per-
oft, two ieutenants and a dozen pa
trolmen, all was peaceful.
Efforts of the indicted men were
confined largely to passing out the
word that sinister influence" was
at work against them. ,... -.-

FHAW ATTY SPRINGS SURPRISE
PUTS THAW ON FIRST

New York, June 23.-Att'y John B.
Stanchfield, chief counse1 for Harry
K. Thaw in his fight to, prove his san
ity,- sprung a surprise on~the state
today by putting the slayer of STAN
ford White on the stand as his own
first witness. Deputy Atty General
Cook was so taken by surprise that
he had not prepared to Gloss examine
the prisoner and after occupying the
stand for about 25 minutes Thaw was
excused. He is, however, subject to
recall at any time when the state is
ready to cross examine him.
Thaw was plainly nervous and he
sank into his witness chair. His
hands twitched and his replies to
Stanchfield were given in an I'M
steady voice, scarcely audible to the
huge crowd that packed the court
room. After a short time, however,
he regained his composure and
made his answers in a clear, steady
voice.
