Will Hall was a sober, industrious, hard- working man. He was emploved in the shops of a large plow manufacturing com- pany. His skill with tools and his knowledge of machinery had made him va to the institution where he worked, and his wages were amoug the highest received by any mechanic in the shops. He had bought a house on the payment plan, had paid several huadred dollars down, and from his wages, by economical skill on the part of his devoted young wife, he was easily meeting bis month- 1y payments; and for all he knew, for all his earnest helpmeet knew, and for all tne world kuew, young Hall had whatany laboring exceptiona bright aable man would consider ar prospect ahead of him. Mary, his wife, was, as indicated, a frugal, busy little body who thought Will was all the sunshine and all the world to Ler. She bad her day dreams—dreams of the happiness a few years must bring -the hap- piness that all poor young folks find in the possession of a home ot their own and a small account in a savings bavk, laid by and ready for a rainy day. [t was remarked by many of the more well-to-do, how neat Mary always looked ; how bappy she alwass was, and now with her only child the little home seemed contented and joyous. The dresses she wanted were seen only in the store windows: the bit of calico which she aid buy scemed always to last so long, and she would sontent herself by saying ‘Never mind. When Will gets s little home paid for, then I can dress better and have the little things which 1 now forego, willingly, the pleasure of enjoying.” And Will worked on, carrying his envelope 1o Mary each Saturday evening, and nothing, ‘ndeed, seemed crucl enough to step in their But the day came. Colonel Rlear-eye Buzzer struck the town, aud with a flourish announced that he would address the laboring men. The colonel per- haps had worked nothing but a free lunch counter for years: but his soul was bleeding and bleeding still for the downtrodden and oppressed laboring man; he wunted grasping and greedy corporations to be throttled in their flendish attemot to strangle the mer of brawn and muscle—the toiling thousands who were robbed annually of wmillions. And Will told his wife that Colonel Buzzer ‘had extended him a personal invitation to at- tend; had really asked him to occupy a chair with him on the platform, and—did ever one resist flattery (—he guessed he would o Mary of course was proud of the distine- tion Will was to enjoy. He—just think of it —was to sit at the right hand of the learned Colonel Blear-eye Buzzer! Of course he must go. Ana Mary went to the little stained dresser, and from a drawer which, to be honest, did not hold much, she took some spotless linen. And tnis linen her own hands had washed and starched and ironed And wall put on a clean white shirt—a shir. erfumed with the honest toil of a fam aundry. He also had cuffs and collars, waiter than the record of the speaker, and tary was proud of him. She tied his necktie, brushed his “Sun- aw’ clothes, kissed him good-bye, and really, folks, there was not a prouder little woman iu all the world; even those folks up there in the brown stone were never prouder. There was a good meeting. Several hun- dred laboring men were present and Colonel cr was 1 & most cheerful frame of mind used of course, from the vulgar reflection that the contributions which must follow his learned effort, would net him several dollars. In fact the roseate dream of whisky punch and poor cigars which the collection would be sure to justify, made the Colonel really seductive in his plea for those who held bis bleediag heart. He commenced his harrangue by stating without any apparent regard for truth, for grammar, or for common sense, that there were 2,000,000 of these here laboring men in this country, who were annually robbed of as many doilars. Think of he repeated, ‘2,000,000 of us slaves, wearing the iron yoke of drudgery. Producing wealth in order that the rich man mayv revel and riot in the de- buuchery of what his ill-gotten gains will allow. Live from the sweat of our brows, and then teil us if we ask a favor from them to*'get it and bed -d.”’ And the cheers were loud and prolonged. After an hour’s talk of how the rich were that he opposed learned growing richer, after tellin avarchy and all this and Colonel asked profoundly: that, the pose we should refuse to continue!

" She of course supposed that those happy hours would be spent at home. But Wiil said they would threaten to strike, and of courseit would be much_ cheaper for the company toaccede to their démanas than to close down their shops. Of course he never thought of the idle men —he never dreamed of what capital must do to protect itself —he simply dreamed that bis crowd was invincible. “They have millions. and we are making more millions for them still.” said Will, re- membering the colonel's grave assurances, “and Colonei Buzzer says that he has scen it tried in the east, and that the laboring men have always won their point.” And the hour had grown late, so they must retire, Mary was not happ; something and for t came across her path that night.

He did so and while half of the committee s already ashamea of itself, the president heard it througl Auyway the request was considered, and atacalled meeting the lodge and its members, collectively and individually was notified tbat the company could not, and sustain seif, accede 10 any such demands; all the work it had taken was under contract and the bid was made on the basis of ten hours a da and of course to reduce the hours simply meant a loss of so much labor,which to them, meant so many dollars, and it would be utterly impracticable to accede to the de- mands. However, the company would be frauk and would be generous. It would agree w keep all the hauds and pay on the same busis—it # man chose to work but six uours 1t would pay him for six hours: if he wanted to work eight hours it would pay him, or if he would rather (perhaps-he bad a large family) work the sume old time, his wages would not be reduced. The company desired to do what was right, but it could not, in jus- tice to its officers, pay men ten hours’ pay for six hours labor.” Any one should see see this the company intimated. But. as there seemed a desire to work shorter hours, the company did see, it said, one good thing in the proposition, and that was that the 200 unemployed laboring men the city could, in this way, receive employment for a part of the day at least. i Of course this was a sucprise to Will, who held the high position. He saw that the other men must come in and givide his hours and it simply meant, if he were to be honest between man and man, that the company could only pay him for what he did. But the office he held had not much to do with it, and he ordered a general strike. He went t the bar room and drank freely —he became wild on the subject, and not once did he think of Mary. And in a few days a strike was proclaimed. Will, once so eager to vote, became a walk- ing delezate; he urged the men not to accept. the old wages and whisky urged Bim to con- tinue to make a fool of himseif. And it was a lockout—for two d: The company speedily found ample men to con- tinue, and in the last round Will was hurt while making an incendiary speech. He was carried home. But while they were carrying him home, while he was coming in his dazed condition. Mary, Mary always true and always faith- ful, Mary ‘who lovea him so deeply, was watching oyer the cradle where the little child lay and where it had been, and where God came and carried it to the angels above to where there isat least peace und no ardships. And from that day Wil went from bad to worse. The house was sold because the pay- ments became due: he had no envelopo and seemed to want none: he cared for nothing except the wild ideas taught himon that dread might when he listened to the tongue of Buazzer. The furniture finally went, and there was nothing el to do, and Will abused and cuffed Mary, uutit her bleeding heart fell amid the bramblesand the thorns in the wl;uumg path, and God called her to her babe above. And Will, well the last I saw of him, he was with Colonel Buzzer, and they were on the platform together, demanding that the currency of the country should be increased to at least 75 per capita, although I have been told since that if either one of them could have gotten six bits they would have been satisfied.

Shrady in the Ladies’ Home Journal handicapped in many ways simply because she is a woman. When weare ready to grant that intellectually she is man's equal, and possibly his superior, and that in gentle- ness of disposition, in force of sympathy and delicate tact she may in the long run excel 1e old-time masculine doctor, we are con- ceding everything which the courtesy of the occeasion can allow. In the majority of cases she is physically unable to endure the hard- ships and privations of medical practice. She is incupable, also, by her natural sympathies, seusitive disposition and feminine prejudices, of fitting herself easily ana profitably to her work. Her instincts are not in accord with ber surroundings and its requirement is forced to cultivate the sterner qual her nature at the expense of her womanly feelings—something alwag to do with one who may not be a 10 the discipline of emergencies. There are now female physicians in all the large cities who have not ouly won for themselves positions and money, but have gained envi- able reputations besides, But these excep- tional few have succceded not becamse they were women, but in spite of their:being women. In fact, it is hard to resist the cou- lusion that even these few would not have done still better if they had ouly beed men. is Divorced With a Horsewhip. I had a case among the Pimas once which required judicial decision and put all my legal ability to the test, says Charles D. Poston in Kate Field's Washington. The wife of the chief came to my head- quarters, accompanied by a small army of Amazons, to inquire what the law was among the white people about the everlasting ques- tion of matrimony. 1 told her the American w aliowed a man to have only one wife. She then said that Antonio had brought an- other woman into the house, and wanted to know what I was going to do about it. Now, interfering between even an Indian man and wife is no fun, so the court took the case under advisement. Finally I asked her if the other woman was as strong as she. ', No,” she replied, ‘'she is alittle squaw.” : I had some Mexican chicotes—horsewhips —plaited of rawhide. 1 gave her one of these and told her to go home and whip the other woman like sixty! The advice worked toa charm, and the encounter between the two women terminated the matrimonial entangle- ment. The “L'"tle Boss. Mrs. H. J. Langdon of Weraville, Cal., the only woman mail contractor in the United States, has considerable business with the vostoffice department. She is known to all the stage drivers and mail carriers in the west as *“The Liitle Boss.” She thus tells how she came to bea mail contractor: *“It nappened rather strangely. My first hus- band had been a large contractor, and I was familiar with his business affairs. At his death he lett a will bequeathing to me twen- ty-five unexpired mail contracts, and left me sole executrix of the will. 1 at once assumed control, and after they expired I began to bid on my own account, and was quite suceessful in obtaining contracts. It is now ncarly twelve years since I began to_work for my- selt. I'am the only woman who carries the Weils-Fargo express, and from July 1 to the time the snow shut_in we carried £100,000 in dust. We have nineteen agents under our control. At present the longest route we have is 115 miles, from Weraville to Susan- ville, and 250 miles, or one-quarter of all the contracts, is under my personal supervision. Chance for Women. Under direction of the school Gf afts of Columbia college examinations for women will be beld at Barnard college (the femaie annex) during the first week in Juné, ~ These examinations will be identical with the ex- ammations for admission to the freshman classes of Columbia and Barnard colleges and will entitle those who pass creditably to a certificate testifying to their scholarship. The effect of this new aeparture will be to provide the schools for girls in New York and its neighborhood with certificated teachers, who will have a standing some- thing like that of a college graduate in a private school for boys, and it will be also the means of proving the thorough work done in those scuools, both by the teachers and pupils, or a Bride. A wedding is aanounced for this spring betweeu two well-known young people of Des Moines, says the Lealer. Four years ago the prospective bride, then quite young, was receiving the atteation of three gentle- Matched Coppers men. They each understood the situation. Nothing in the girl's manuer indicated any preference. Finally the three friends mét one day by accident. Iu some way the young dy's name was brought up, and after con- sideration it was decided to match pennies to see who snonld withdraw from the contest. “A——" was the “lucky d0g,” and he it is who is to be the bridegroom.

The pet dog of the estab- lishment, and looked upon by both the presi- dent and Mrs. Harrison as a valued frienq, is the Scotch collie, Dash. Dash is a fighter, not because he likes it particularly, but just on general principles. He came with the family from Indianapolis and his high-tem- pered procesdings there have not deserted bim. Ou the contrary he seems to feel thata great deal more depends upon his ability to chew up any other animal who foolishly risks his fur within his feach’ In Indianap- olis, and here for a time, Dash took a_great deal of pleasure in following the family car- riage down town, or snywhere else it happen- ed to be going. Especiadly when the ladies emerged from their sBoppinz they would usually find Dash in the middle of a contlict with some other rash amimal. The scene of the fight was under the carriage, which ter- ritory Dash felt proud to proteet from all in- truders. These little inconsistencies made bim rather au-unwise companion, and now the special province of Dash is to kecp the white house grounds free from-unsafe in- truders.

Jack Collins, Detroit's champion slugeer, and Billy Lavine, champion of the Sagin: valley, fought two rounds in the presence of a small audience last night. Collins is the champion walter weight fighter of Michigan. Collins started in with a rush and in a mo- ment it was seen that Lavine wasn't in it. He was knocked through tbe ropes and went to the floor twice in the first round. Lavine came up dazed in the second round, and with a rush Collins kmocked him flat on his back and out, and ho had to be carried away. Australiau flles received by the steamer Monowai give loog accounts of tne feathe weight fight between Griffo ana Powell Sydney on March 12. The meeting created interest, ond when the men shook nands in the ring there was an immense as- semblage present.

He wintered weil and great hopes were entertained by Mr. Pulsifer and by his trainer, Mr. Donovan, that he would get ready to win the Brooklyn onandicap or the Suburban, for both of which he was a favorite. The track at Morris park was in good shape, and on Wednesday morning last Trainer Donovan decided to send him a mile inu trifle less than two minutes.
