Women Are Casting Ballots
A Iso School Children
Judging by the number of ladies who are visit
ing our store this week, it would seem that they
are taking much more interest in the Baby Con
test than their husbands are in National Politics.
Of course, everyone who sees the Globe-Wernicke Bookcase to
be awarded to the one offering the cleverest title to the picture dis
play in our show window, immediately demands a ballot.
Remember, you do no have to be a customer of the store to
win the prize; evoryone, without reservation, man, woman or child
can submit an answer.
School children wishing to start a library in their school can
get up a contest among themselves, and every member of the class
submit a title.
It is a good tonic for one's imaginative power
VOUR ROOM MIGHT WIN THE BOOKCASE
Why not appoint a commitoe, and secure the teachers consent
to compete for this prize to go in the Schoolroom.

After my admission to the bar a
friend of Mr. Larkiua, of the law tirm
of Larklns, Larrabee & Lincoln, gave
me a letter to hlin recommending me
for a salaried position In his olllce. 1
was advised to see Mr. Lark inn at his
house, where I would receive more
friendly attention than In his olllce.
I called about 4 o'clock, expecting to
Bnd him, returned from tils ollice, but
since he had been detained thero later
than usual I concluded to wait for
him. I was shown Into a large draw
ing room ns dimly lighted as those of
most city dwellings. Indeed, since it
was winter and the dnys were short
there was hardly any light at all be
cause of heavy window draiery.
A door opened Into a conservatory,
and while sitting In profound silence
I heard a succession of oaths. There
were two Incongruities connected with
the matter. In the first place, the pro
faulty came from out a profusion of
flowers and. in the second, was spoken
In a woman's musical voice. Further
more, they did not express Irritation,
the lady who spoke them seeming to
be simply rolling them out Just to
hear them. In other words, as they j
were uttered there was no meaning to 1
them. j
They soon stopped and were followed ;
by a few notes of song, in the same j
sweet voice as the oaths. Then a ;
young girl camo out of the couserva- j
tory, passed through the dm wing room,
unconscious of my presence, and,
swearing like n trooper as she went,
passed out Into the hall and upstairs.
I got a view of her as she passed ft
gas Jet that had Just been lighted,
and her face was as Innocent of guile
us her tongue was defiled.
I was especially pleased that she did :
not see me. for she would doubtless 1
have been deeply mortified. Mr. I,nr- !
kins came In presently, and I presented j
my note of Introduction, which was In
strumental in securing for me the
place I coveted. I soon learned that
lie had a daughter who was considered
a beautiful girl, and I Inferred that she
was the one I had heard uttering pro
fanity. I wns curious nbout her, for I
could not understand how u refined
woman could have a fancy for listen
ing to oaths uttered by herself.
1 had not been long In the employ of
Larklns, Larrabee & Lincoln when
Mr. I.arkiiiH Invited me to dine at his
house. I accepted gladly and on the
evening appointed nppeared at the
house In evening dress and wearing
my Itost expression. It seemed singu
lar that I should be desirous of im
pressing a girl who could swear "like
an army In FlaniTers," but such was
the case. When Introduced to her I
found It difficult to repress a smile,
thluklng as I did how shocked she
would be did she know that I had
beard her nt her worst.
I can't say that Miss Laura Lark Inn
wns a demure young lady, but she
gave one the impression of being very
refined, modest, pure. Indeed, she wns
tlie last person I would have supposed
would indulge In the unladylike habit
of swearing. To tell the truth, there
was something so novel. In such mark
ed contrast. In hearing a lovely girl
with a sweet voice uttering profanity
that I wished she would do It ngaln.
But tnstoad her words wero well cho
sen and pure English, there was not a
hit of slang, and everything Bhc said
was refined.
This Introduction nt the house of my
employer resulted In a love uffair be
tween mo and Miss Larklns. After
awhile 1 was made a Junior member of
the law firm 'where I wns employed,
and, being approved by Mr. Larklns as
u son-lu-law, I was accepted and duly
engaged. While I bad beeu fascinated
by the Incougrulty of oaths spoken in n
melodious voice, 1 was at times trou
bled by this peculiarity. Might not n girl
who would give vent to such expletives
have something bad nbout her Inner
self which some day would crop out
to shock me? I wished to tell her that
I had henrd her swear and hear her
explanation, but could not bring myself
to do so So I went mi, subject to oc
casional lits of terror lest 1 would mar.
ry one whose devilish nature might
burst forth at nuy moment
My fiancee was at the time I met her
a collego girl. One day 1 took up In
her house I he book 'of a piny In which
she It til acted ns an undergraduate.
One part, ttiat of a man, was marked
throughout. While reading It I came
upon tho very oaths I bad heard her
utter. Here was an explanation. She
had performed this part.
A moment later when she entered tho
room I fired them at her.
"Oh.' she said, "ynn have been read
hie the part I played at college. We
girls were expected to leavo those
swear words out. Hut we never did at
rehearsal."
"Why rnitr
"Why does any girl fancy what she
Is supiHtsod to let aione'f"
Then 1 told her of the first time t
saw her how while I was shocked I
was pleased. She said that It wns thit
untiie shock, that desire to break lit
niKui forbidden things, that pleasel
girls. She also confessed that several
of tho girls who took part In the
play. 11 n repressed by authorlty.v were
In the habit of rolling out the oath:
I had henrd her nse Just for the pleas
ure of doing something they had no
business to do. As for herself, she
played the part of the roan who dl(
the swearing.
1 asked her to do It Just once morr
and nfter that never to do It agt n.
She declined to oblige me.
