VEST POCKET ESSAYS

A stenographer is young lady
who takes down the hard-thunk
thoughts of her employer in note
book and afterwards edits and i'm,
proves them on the typewriter, as
soon as she has done up her cuffs,
revised her hair, manicured her
nails and modified her complexion
There was time when there were
no stenographers and business oft
ces were gloomy places, in which
men swore and wore hats. smoked
cigars and kept their feet on the
tables and their coats on hooks in
the closets. Then the CHEEKY stenog-
rapher was invented and through
her coming most of the gloom has
been dispelled
Stenographers are manufactured
by business colleges out of shop girls
farmers daughters and assistant
housekeepers. with now and then a
high school graduate as prize pack
age. They have good educations and
can spell almost any small word by
ear. However. the memory OF the av-
erage stenographer is somewhat de-
fective. which makes II impossible
for her to understand her notes af-
ter they have stood for few min
utes.
Stenographers are great linguists
and are forever inventing new words
and phrases. A stenograpber will
write. Supreme uff." 'snuborgina-
uon." Witness be noses and says"
and other remarkable improvements
on the language. without giving 1t
a thought. Indeed, most OF them
are very modest over these achieve
ments and will take half an hour OF
their employers valuable time TO
convince him he is entitled to all
the credit OF the Improvement.
Stenographers get from SO n week
to 10000 year and earn less and
more than this. A poor stenographer
is dear at t3 week. while there
is always waiting list OF eager
employers for the $3.50 month
stenographer who sharpens her pen
ellis In her spare time. and writes
letters which can be signed. but not
read
Stenographers should always dress
modestly and refrain from anything
but business conversation during Of
flee hours. Unless they do this. they
are likely to become millionaires
wives. or TO meet some other equal
ly terrible fate.

TRAIN OF BATTERY 'B"
CATCHES FIRE EN- ROUTE

Fire in the kitchen car attached 10
their train offered excitement to the men
of Battery B, n. G. d. c., who are re-
turning to washington after six months
service on the Mexican border, yester-
day.
The fire was discovered as the train
was nearing Hondo, Texas, and was
started by a spark from the field range,
on which the meals of the artillerymen
were being cooked. Famed by the wind
the blaze gained considerable headway.
Fire call was sounded and soon the
whole battery were fighting flames. BY
the time the fire was extinguished the
entire interior OF the baggage car, which
had been used for cooking purposes,
was badly damaged.
