MISFORTUNE'S VICTIM.
YOUNG WOMAN lies dying -in a shabby little
room in- this-city She came here expecting to
get work during the fair. - She was perhaps not
altogether wellwhen the came here; on that very ac
count, she may have somewhat lacked those hustling
qualities which mark the self-reliant American. But
she did the best she could and failed. Her little stock of
money exhausted and the fall season coming on the poor
friendless girl .saw nothing to do but to go Qut on the
street and ask for help. Only this or starve. :
If she had only known, how it might have been other
wise. It is easy for those who know to say, but how dif
ficult for those who do sot know. There is honorable
employment for scores of girls in Portland; there is a
demand for their services, that seems never filled. No
girl need starve here and no girl need descend from re
spectability to make a decent living. - There is a never
ending demand for girls in the domestic service of the
city and those who are willing to do the work can get
well paid. But this girl did not know or if she did felt
the presence of the tubercular disease, the sufferer from
which 'gets such scant comfort from her fellow human
beings. . '"'.''
In any event she went out on the street. The lynx
eyed officers of the law toon noted her movements, lo
cated her room and were ready to arrest her for vag
rancy. Meantime her disease was making steady rav
ages and death and the. law stand face to face ready to
claim their victim. Brought home to us the case gives
every feeling person a wrench. The poor vagrant per
haps unable to work being hurried into a pauper's grave
and the law, typifying humanity and our grade of civ
ilization,, finds nothing better for the victim, whose only

Great financiers of Europe and Amer

ltOl J. Plerpont Morgan wanted him.
He hesitated, but finally consented to
an arrangement- by which he was to de

to young men:
"Too many young men in this coun
try don't want to work hard. - Thsy

that way. Time and conditions msy
change, but the old rule remains -. the
