WOMEN BREAD-WINNERS. The Problem of Female Employment and Its Solution. Fathers Should Teach Their Daugh- ters Their Own Oalling and Then Send Them to Iu- dustrial 8chools. Philadelphia Record: In every part of the civilized world the opportunities offered to solf-supporting women have constantly increased, during the nine- teenth century especially, until now there is an almost unlimited tield of oc- eupation in which the girl or woman of the period need only choose that which is best suited to her taste and ability. This fact is particularly conspicuous in our own country, where she is as free and untrammeled in this respect asis hot brother, The number of women bread-winners, too, has grown with their opportunities, and hae already assumed such proportions that somo persous, with a peculiar talent for statistics, are busy uring out how long it will be, at the present ratio of increase, before the women who work will outnumber the men who work. With this, however, I do not propose to meddle. The riddle will solve itself if left to itsclf. But what I do want to point out is the neessity, in the face of existing circumstances, for the sort of education—perhaps instruc- tion would be a better word-—which fits women for a business life in which they can earn money. Education coming under the head of culture, by which we rstand accomphishments, is not to be considered here. The practical educa- tion which may be turned into golden dust upon occasion is the kind of educa- tion more in harmony with the progress Of Luis intensely practical age. The problem of female employment would not seem so diflicult if parents uniformly treated their girls precisely as they treat their bo; A boy is ex- ted to earn his own living, and is ex- himself to earn it. The pe pected to fit wealthiest men in this democratic coun- try do not contemplate that their sons shiall go through life destitute of an occu- pation. Many of the far-seeing ones make a study of the natural bent of their male progeny, and require a develop- ar talent while they I knew a man of “‘ran it of that pecu still boys. ar and station” whose only son displayed a taste for mechanics. He wa mwauchine was put in a hop before he had reached the f sixteen, and while his stock of book-lore was yet very meagre, and worked ten hours a day under the same rules that governed other workers in the shop uutil he had mastered his trade and turned out his first locomotive. He loved his work and was proud of. More than that, he stood on the verge of manhood with the consciousness that he was good for something, and with no nonsense in his head. Even in’ the royal families of the Old World certain professions and pursuits are assigned to different young princes, and the princesses are in many cases subjected to severe practical train- ing in all that pertains to the household. Why, in this age and generation, should not the same methods of teaching be applied to both sexes? Everyone knows that the daughters of a family differ in their inclinations quite as much as do the sons. Why should not parents observe these little” variations of talent, and bring up their daughters with the iden that these gmfts are to be used in the future as a means of fie!l-surpnrt, or even of acquiring wealth: for there is no reason why women in these days should not make for themselves a competency even as men do. A very gifted and ener- getic woman says she does not sce why women may not become millionaires by their own exertions a8 well as men. But she is an inventor, and, although yet o young woman, has the foundation of her million well Everyone does not possess the sort of brains that can as readily be turned into money. But everyone may do much with their heaven- born gifts if they will but use them, un- less beset with untoward circumstances. As to the business education of women, it is best that it should begin in child- hood, and it need in no wise interfere with their book-learning, or the trainin, in those homely duties of sewing an cooking that ure very likely to some day or other fall to the lot of every woman in a greater or lesser degree. Let the girl learn these things by all means, but at the same time let her learn some other & that is to be her occupation. The s of the father or mother should be utilized in the business education of the daughter. It devolves upon the father, her he be a mechanic or a professional man, to teach his daughters —if they inherit any of his especial talent, and they are quite as apt to do so as his sons—his own calling. With this home g, and the idea well instilled that she is to do something, and as far as pos- sible taught to do that something, the question of the business education of women would be to a great extent settled, Next to the home training as a help to girls are the schools established for the Em-lmw of developing muscles as well as rains. The art schools which have in recent years sprung up all over the land are doing a good work. The Kitchen gardens and various other industrial schools are a wise provision to supply the needs of the coming woman. But there is still a wide field %or enterprise in this line. In France there are agriculturs schools for women, and they are succ ful. Atone a farm of 400 acres is culti- vated exclusively by females. Why should not our’ sgricultural colleges teach girl students all that is now taught to young men of the science and prac of agriculture? There are a fow worthy examples of womgn farm this country who are But who shall say th have found their work easier more profitable had they been fortitied with a theo! cal or practical knowledge of their business at the outset? As to the need of girls fitting them- selves for a business life there can be no doubt. On every hand is heard com- plaints of the incompetence of women Shorthand writing and type- now regarded as among the purely feminine employments. But how many are able to take dictation atthe rate of sixty or seventy words a minute? Some time ago a letter appeared in one of the New fi'ork papers written by a person who had advertised for a compe- tent type-writer. Of the 200 applicants, all women, who each and cvery one claimed that they could write at the re- quired rate of speed, not one was equal to thirty words a minute. And it is asserted” by those in a position to know that there are really less than half a dozen girls in New York who are experts at taking dictation on the type-writer, This statoment speaks for llaeH., To the end, however, that women may become more helpful, let the home an the industrial school teach girls every occupation that women can follow for money—which means every occupation that exists, except a few from which women are excluded on account of lack of physical strength, and because they are women. Then comes the real educa- tian for business—busiuness itself Forall the theoretical training possible will not make a business man or woman without & in mhking money. they would not nd perhaps THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JUNE 19 189. Beyond and above all this, she must eda- cate herself to believ honorable and worth doing well; that matrimony is not the only harbot in which she may safely anchor, and that catehing a husband is not the chief end of life. If to this sort of training she can add a well-t nced head, a stomach that will digest her dinner and legs that ste can get about with, she will ha nothing to fear in the hand-to-hand battle for bread with male competitors. plicias s TWO0 G0OD BTORIES, ! Uncle Joe, an Indian and a Panther, “I was huntin’ and trappin’ along the Columbia river on the Oregon side," said Uncle Joe, a veteran of the plains and mountains, “and while I was right in the Injun country I kivered my tracks so well that it was weeks before they got on tome. Ibuilt a brush hut in a heavily timbered bottom, and the keerful manner in which I moved around the neighbor- hood would have done credit to a cat. I used the bow and arrow altogether in killin' game, and my traps brought me in a back load of furs about as fast as 1 could take keer ot 'em. “'1 guess [had bin located about six weeks, and had become sort o’ carzla as was natural, when I got a sudden eye opener. One afternoon I cum plump on the moceasin track of an Injun, and from the way it eircumlocuted around 1 soon made up my mind that he was huntin’ fur me. [ wasa bit puzzled at first, because there was only one track, but by and by I figured ovt how it w: It was either some Injun who had slipped off to trap by hisself for a few days, or it was some warrior who had had his suspicions aroused and was doin’ a leetle investiga- hig own hook. 1f he got my <0 much ahead, and glory a If he got nethin' he wouldn't be him, laughed at by the rest of ks tribe, for none of 'em wonld know of nis adven- The minit I diskivered his foot- s I pulled myself together fur hadn't follered s trail that he that one of us hunt would be ended, of fish or cut bait with me. follered if I left the bottoms, fur that red-shin wanted my life, and I couldn’t stay if he did. On his side, 1t would never do fur him to abandon the pluce after he had diskivered that [ was alone, Ho must stake his life agin mine and ubide the 1ssue. Mebbe you kin realize sumthin’ of the feelin’ which comes over aman when he knows that he is bein’ tracked by somebody who demands his life. I'd rayther have had a whole tribe of red-skins come whoopin' and ycllin’ down upon me than to know that a ser- vent was dodgin’ and crawlin’ along my trail, silent, determi and impla ., I bit the feller's trail about half a mil from the hut, and the hour was about 3 o'clock. Tknew that he must sooner or later strike one of my fresh trails and bring up at the hut, and instead of fol- lowin’ him as he followed my old trail I broke off after a few minits and mad directly fur the hut. Near by wasam of rock which offered a secure hidin’ lace, and if I could reach it without ein’ scen I should have an advantage; that is, it was reasonable to believe that he would show up within shootin’ dis- tance durin’ the next twenty-four hours. “I made the tallest kind o’ tracks when I once got started. 1 had to take the chance of his havin’ found the hut and bein’ i ambush, and I'm not disputin’ that it was a great load off my mind when I got fi:ly settled among the rocks. I'dashed into the hut and got my rjflc and a hunk of cold meat, in tWenty seconds more I w: fe for the time bein’. Jist what direction thelva mint would approach from 1 could not guess, but he would be still more puzzled to know what had become of me. For the first hour the place was as silent as afore that s a question 1 should be & a graveyard, and I was lookin’ tl][lrd ife listenin’ ‘as only a man can when hi; is at stake to get a hint of the whe abouts of the enemy. I finally got a sign. A buck deer cum runnin’ past me in a way to show that he had seen a human bein’ not fur off, and I figgered that the red-skin was_approachin’ from the east. He had made a complete half-circle of my hidin’ place. For the next half-hour Iused my eyes and ears until my h ached. knew the varmint w proachin’ the hut, but he was comin’ so cuutiously that I could not tell the exact direction. *“The sun was now geftin’ purty low, and I allowed thatif he didn’t show up purty soon I'd be badly boxed up fur the night. I was all on aige and skeercely able to hold myself, when, all of a sud- den, the silence was broken by an awful yell, follered by a cry from some human bein’. It wasn’t way off, but right there within a stone's throw, and I riz up as if I had springs under me. Right there before my eyes, und not a hundred feet away, a panther and an Injun was havin’ it hot and heavy, the beast usin’ his claws and teeth, and s| in’ and slashin’ with his knife. I was so aston- ished that I couldn’t move for a minit or two, and when I got ready there was no use in movin’. The two varmints rolled over u dozen times, too badly mixed fur me to tell which was which, and then the panther kinder drawed out of the fight. le might havo got fifteen feet away, when he keeled over and kicked in a wav to tell that he'd got his full. The Injun uttered a faint whoop as the panther drawed off, but when I reached him he was dead as a door nmil. He itout, hand to hand, usin’ his huntin’ knife, and I'm tellin’ you he was a terrible lookin® object. The beast had tore almost every inch of clothin’ off'n him, and he was bit and elawed until he was like raw beef. “Well, | figgered it out purty easy. 1 stowed hisself away on a limb, calkelatin’ to make it hot fur me. I reckon he didn’t git up there until arter I had ambushed myself, and when the re n cum crawlin’ along the beast didn’t stop to see whether he was white or black.” I was a panther skin, ritle, tomahawk and huntin’ knife ahead, and, although I remained there for three weeks longer, I saw no further sigus of Injuns.’” 1 Credit Belonged to the Mule, hree of us had been huntin’ and trappin’ on the Missouri about opposite the mouth of the Mussel Shell,” said Dan Clash, when invited to tell a story “That was in Montana, and we had a spur_of the Little Rocky mountains at our backs. There was plenty of timber along the river, and as for game, I never saw sich a paradise. We were then three weeks without a sign of redskins, and we were thinkin' of packin’ up and workin' along up stream to Fort Benton, when a number of calamities happened. One afternoon Len Swith, one of the best men as ever sighted a ritfle or baited a trap, was struck 1o the leg by one of the biggest rattlesnakes 1 ever sot eyes on. We hadn't & drop of whisky with us, nor would it have done hum any good if we had had a bar’l of it. The pizen took hold as if shot into him with & gun, and in three-quarters of an hour he was a dead man. “Next day one of our pack mules straved off, and Bilt Collins, my survivin’ artner, went off to hunt her up. As he Shln‘t return in twenty-four hours I went out to scent around. I found the mule all torn to pieces by a grizzly, and not fur away was a bloody spot and a few shreds of clothin' to prove what Bill's fate had bin. That left me alone 1n a bad actual practice. But thus will be easy if ber brain and muscles have been proparly trained, and. if ‘she has contemplato wasking use of them all her lfe before. country, with all the load the other pack mule could tote. You may guess I didn’t lose any time preparin fur a start. . The loss of wy two pertoers had rattled me, until T was ready to run from my owh shadow. T loaded up the traps, rifles and the choicest of the furs, and one mornin’ sot out fur up river and the fort, which was a pull of abont 130 niles. Igotalong all right the fust day, and when [ went into camp I had about got mi' nerve back. At this pint the strip of timber along the river was about twenty rods wide. Then thore was a valley from three to five miles wide, and then the mountains. “I unionded the mule and turned her loose to find her own grub, knowin’ that she woula be on hand in the mornin’. She was a beast which had been in the huntin’ bizness all her life, and she could smell an Injun or locate a grizzly qui nor any dog I ever sot eyes on. 1 depended on her to give me warnin’ in case anythin' happed durin’ the night, and my confidence was not misplaced. It was about midnight when she pulled the blanket oft'n me, and as L sot up and looked around, Kinder dazed like, she kept her head pinted to the north, and softly whimpered, as if tryin’ to talk to me. It was a starlight night, but with more or less clouds drivin’ over, and it was so dark in the timber that you couldn’'t have seen a man ten feet I didn’t know exactly what to whether to keep quiet or toscout aronnd; but the old mule kept up her whimperin', and seemed so plainly 1o say that [ onght to do sunthin’, that T made a break and she follered me, When I got up to the aige of the timber the first mi"% that caught my eye was a number of bright lights across “the valley in the foot-hills, and, as [ held my breath to listen, I heard the faint barkin’of dogs and the shouts of people. “I understood the situation in jist about a minit. A band of redskins had come into the valley--mebbe a huntin’ party, and mebbe a whole village. Itwas a warnin’ that a white man about n.y size had better pack up and be oft, and 1 tell you Ldidn’t let no grass grow under my eet in gittin' ready I had traveled in the timber durin’ the day to keep out of sight und to hide my trail, but now I left the shelter and took to the valley. 1 had four or five hours to daylight, and the way that mule and me got up and humped ourselves amazed the coyotes. I jist knew that we were fullyt ty miles away when daylight broke. Thé timber now was scattéred along in groves, and afore daylight was too strong we took to shelter in & bit of timber containin’ per- haps half an acre. This timber run to the bank of the river, and the bank at that spot was eight or ten feet high. “I wasn't jist whut you might call an A-1 Injun fighter. As I had put twenty miles between me and the Injuns down the valley, I sorter figgered that there wasn't another redskin nigher than them, and that I could take things purty easy fura spell. I unloaded the muleand turned her loose, and had jist eaten a bit of cold breakfast wh the beast cum slyly through the bushes, ears laid back and eyes shinin’, and gin me to under- stand tnat sunthin’ was wrong agin. She didn’t pint her heud to'rds the valley, but straight fur the river, and I says to my- self that perhaps she scented Injuns who were passin’ up or down in canoes. shouldered my rifle and crept to'rds the bank, but 1 hadn't gone thirty yards when crack! erack! went two rifles, and two bullets zipped past head in a way to make me (l With a scream suchasa wild beast might give the mule made a rash in the direction of the shots, and I follered on. “This was what had happened and what did happen: A couple of Injuns were perhaps comin’ down the valley when they saw me take to the grove. They saw me, but I didn’tsecthem. They red the grove on the upper side, in’ their ponies tied to atree, and were workin’ around to get a shot at me when the mule twigged the game. Both fired at the same instant, and as a conse- quence both rifles were empty when the mule charged 'em. To escape her—and I'm tellin’ ‘you that she’d have taken hold like a dog—they scrambled up a cotton- wood growin’on the very aige of the bank. One of 'em dropped his rifle on the ground, while the ul‘mr took his up. The mule stood nigh the foot of the tree pawin' and squealn’, and as soon as [ saw how the land lay I lifted my rifle fur a shot. The feller who had taken his gun up was workin’ to load her, but I stopped him. My bullet hit him in the shoulder, and 1t was catch and go that he didn't tumble. I was loadin’ fur another shot, and was takin’ notice that the unwounded one was climbin’ higher, when the mule jumped back with a snort, and the tree egan to go over. It went slowly, and the two reds yelled out in terror. “When it struck the ‘water there was an awful splash and a great commotion. The tree- was too green to float, and the water was 80 deep that only a few branches showed above the surfice. Ireckon that both Injuns were pinned down in some mun- ner, fur neither oune of 'em showed up after the splash. I kept a clns watch all about the place fur halt an hour, butnot a sign of tgmm could 1 see. “I'got one of their ritles, which was a splendid weapon, two ponies worth $100 apiece, a lot of steel traps amd a large amount of powder and lead. It was more’n a week after that when 1 rode into Fort Benton, but I never saw another Injun nor had the least worry. When the fellers of the fort wanted to pat me on the back and call me big Injun, I pornted to the mule and said: ‘“‘Gyents, there stands the ole gal en- titled to all the credit, and the thing I'm onhappyabout is that she ean’t wear a silk dress.” ' e A Sad Case of Polsoning is that ot any mad or woman afflicted with disease or derangement of the liver, resulting in poisonous aceumulations in the blood, scrofulous affections, si headaches, and diseases of the kidneys, lungs or rt.
