Wives as Wage Farmers.

More than one-tenth of the married women of the United States were en- gagged in gainful occupations in 1910, according to figures recently given out by the bureau of the census, and over 25 per cent of all women sixteen years old or over were wage earners, business women, etc. Since 1910 the per centages undoubtedly have ln- creased rather than diminished, for the tendency of women in this coun- try has been toward greater economic freedom for many years. In 1900 the number of married women in gainful occupations was only 769,000, while in 1910 it was 1,S90,000, says Popular Me chanics. The statistics referred to show that the proportion of women- married, single and widowed-who are earning their living is greater than ever before, but it is particularly in teresting to find that of all the groups cited, the proportionate increase in the number of married women is the greatest.

METHODS USED BY DIPS VARY
Pickpockets of the Higher Grade Work in Groups in Places Frequented
 by Prosperous People.

As usual thing. pickpockets vary their methods to suit circumstances. Only the low-grade dips work in pairs. These are the men who operate on stmet cars, elevated stations, plat forms. and similar places where they will find crowds of pushed people and have opportunity to escape if detected One of the pair shoulders victim roughly while the other does the work and makes q getaway says the Bo- hemian. Arrests are frequent. but con- vietions rare, because the man cap tured seldom has the loot
 The higher grade dips also work in such places. The difference is that they work in groups and choose times when prosperous passengers will be in the majority. During the fashionable shopping hours and after the theater at night are considered harvest times. Last winter three dips worked q clever method in Chicago. Garbing them selves in evening clothes, they mingled in fashionable crowds In big cafes, theater exits. and railway stations. One of the party was always hopeless ly drunk and the others, apparently acting the part of Samaritans, were hard=put trying to keep him on his feet. With all their care, however, he would stumble occasionally and fall into groups of ladies and gentlemen. Invariably the sober companions had apologized and taken sle charge away before anyone discovered tho loss of yaluables.

Hunters Moon.

The hunters moon is waning, but there has been very little service for 1t during the month, except for lovers, says the Columbus (O.) State Journal. The game question is pretty near solved. It is so different from the old days, when man could take his shot gun and go out to the woods and bring in a bag of squirrels and birds in few hours-enough for the family and q neighbor or two. Then he asked no favors of the moon. The game was plenty and the days were long in the good old time. In those days we had pigeon pie and squirrel pie and we didn't want the moon to put itself out of the way on our account. In these days the hunters moon is q beautiful sentiment, but it makes no pie. How shy she was last week, when coquet- ing with Jupiter for an evening or two, and then slipped off to the east and re- fused to return.

The Footwear of Our Daddies.

In these days, when shoes cost Sl or more an inch, measured up from the heel, the reeolleetions of Galloway county pioneer really are painful. In a letter to the Missouri Telegraph he tells what d simple matter buying shoes once was. Those who wanted shoes lined up with their heels against a wall and the head of the household, armed with a bunch of twigs, took the measurement of each. The twigs were taken to a merchant, who fitted the shoe by putting the broken stick inside 1t. One farmer objected to pay ing S14.S7 for ten pairs of shoes, so he bought leather and hired shoe maker to make them at a grand total of S9.15.-Kansas City Times.

On the Casualty List.

A gallant infantry officer who had faced Il hundred peris and returned home from furlough without a scratch met with misfortune the first night home, says London Tit-Blts. In the black darkness of side street he col- lided with q porter's barrow and sus- tained broken arm. The limb healed nicely. but so long as 1t reposed in Il sling the owner was pestered with kind inquiries from admiring friends who were blissfully unaware of the real cause of the injury. The limit was reached one day when he encountered a former business rival, who at once alluded to the now hateful subject:
 By love, old fellow, I envy you with that eloquent testimony of your prowess. In what action did you come by it?'
 Hang It. sir" was the testy reply. cant you read the blessed war news for yourself?"

Tennis Balls.

The present game of tennis was gradually evolved from the original game of battledore and shuttlecock The ball used was piece of cork or other light material, with feathers stuck in one side to give it more accurate flight. It was batted back and forth by paddle-shaped wooden clubs. As time progressed and rub Der was found to be resilient, even before it was used generally for com mercial purposes. 1t found place in the game of battledore and shuttle cock.
