ONLY A“HIRED GIRL.” T have a “hired girl” in this city who dves not take offense when al- luded to iu such a manner. In fact, she consented that I might tell about her, and that I might call her a “hired girl.’ Born the daugbter of a Canadian farmer, having a dis- trict school education and well versed in house-work, from build- ing fires, sweeping and washing dishes to canning trait aud mak ing bread, butter and cheese, dhe came to Detroit to get an education. There isn’t anything in the tine of house-work that she cannot do well, and she earns $4 a week and ber board and lodging, with one af- ternoon and evening, and Sunday afternoon and evening each week to herself. She has worked in one family for over five years. She bas nearly $500 in the bauk, she owns a type- writing machine and can “take” as a stepograpber nearly 200 words a mipate, In addition she is a gradu- ate of a business college and has attended night public school regu- larly during the past winter. Sbe has. besides all these things mentioned, had several offers of warriage during the past two or three years, none of which were accepted. What does she purpose doing? Her secret is this: Her father, not a wealthy man, was able and desired to give one of his two daughters a-thorough educa- tion. He couldn’t afford to educate both girls, so the older one, the “hired girl” referred to told him to| educate the youngerone. This the father is doing, and the “hired girl” is keepiug pace with her sister.— Detroit Free Press. 1t is the coward that strikes wo- men ‘in the dark” and there is no larger siz:d coward than be who writes anonymous notes squibs, or articles. reflectung on women, es- pecially when it is impossible for those whom he attacks to reply. $+ A comrade who served in the 7th Michigan cavalry, writing to a former Comrade in this city in speaking of the ‘Patriotic Sons” expre sed his surprise at their vote to preveat colored men from mem-~ bership, said: “In that which gives the Grand Army and Union Veteravs Union its nobility the col- ored soldier had bis share.” “No white soldier ever paused in the charge to study the complex ion of the comrade whose bayonet | advanced level with his own.
