Grt Chana"f ta Women.
"I had rather be a successful wo
tonn than an unsuccessful lady." Mr
s. prominent woman. This statement
makes some or ua alt up who have
been Jogging along without milling
tha Incompatibility ot attaining suc
cess and remaining a tad. Uetor con
atderlng tha matter we real I)- ahould
define termi, except that no one haa
over been able to state Just exactly
what a lady la.
Success la tha chief desire ot life.
Time was when a woman attained the
greatest success possible to her mere
ly by being a lady. She waa admired,
ahe married well, she became a social
leader, aud tha highest compliment
had been passed when It was aald,
"She Is always a lady." Men changed
feeeause business mothods changed.
Aftd ono ot the greatest factors in this
hangs was the tact that the success
ful seen were not as a rule gentlemen.
To compete with them, the gentlemen
fead to change their tactic.
Then women went into business,
sua a there they found that the things
which had been the hallmarks ot the
ady were excess baggage. A low.
Uaald voice, a tack ot self-aasertlve-
stess, a touching dependence upon the
earest masculine representative, an
aloofness from the material things of
Ufa, easily shocked sensibilities, an
overplus ot sentiment, an uawintng
fees to do anything that would make
feer la the least conspicuous, a woman
found did not raise her wages or ad
Vance her position in the working
feree. Besides, she found that the
mta ahe was brought Into contact with
fco longer admired the qualities to
which they had formerly written son
Mta and dashed off Byrbnlc prose.
The question naturally suggests It
self to our speculative minds, that
nlace people range themselves In
grades, what will be the highest type
t the present feminine members of
ecletyT What will be the adjective
t couple with woman to express the
most admirable mixture of qualities In
fcer?
As for women themselves, they can
comfort themselves In this transition
atate, while uaanchored by the Ideal
etf being a lady, and not yet supplied
With another guiding star, with the
reelection that very few famous wo
sbh have been ladles. As we look
back, a lady meant a person with so
jmtny negations and Inhibitions that
iisve was pretty much hobbled when It
ease to accomplishing anything mo
'seateus. The men also will have to
give thought to the problem that they
JBHSt get out and hustle to hold their
ewm with the woman who has dis
carded the out-of-date garment of per
fect ladyship.

Electric baking ovens have long been
available, but their use has not spread
very rapidly, probably because of the
cost or the difficulty of procuring the
requisite current. In the little Swiss

manner. In a furnace less than eight
feet long, one hundred pounds ot

THE ARMY ON THE MARCH,
The Salvation Army waa born In 1863. It lias something to show for
the elevntton ot the downtrodden. One of Its champions says;
"The Salvation Army Cag is flying In fifty-five countries. It has no toss
than 7,600 societies and, excepting In heathen countries, Is self-supporting.
The Salvationists hold services In Iblrty-two languages and are led by IS
000 officers, assisted by 30,000 local officers, men aud women, who earn their
living by the aweat of their browa and give their time and money and work
to the cause. In Its advocacy twenty-five newsapera are published In seven
teen tanguagrs. There are 17,000 baudamen who play aacred muslo without
pay. In Oreat Britain these bands march 34,000 miles a week to attract
men and women to the cross. Over 300.000 hungry and wretched creature ,
are fed by Its Instrumentality. No man, woman or child who has fallen
on the highways or life and very allppery these highways ato and reaches
out a hand and says: '1 want to get up again and want to lead an honest.
Industrious lire,' to every such person there should go out another hand
to lift him up, We have many other branches ot work. In all we have
120 different departments or plans for benefiting people, and the number Is
Increasing constantly.
"Now, what are you doing to lift up the people who are down? the
poor, the drunkard, tho sinful, the hungry, and the poor lassies who have
gone over tha line and who are In tho worst hell this side of the river?
What are you doing for them all? Do you think It Is my special work;
that you have no part In It? Will you help me? Will you help the Salva
tion Army? Will you help with your sympathy and prayer? You may say:
"Wo have our churches and missions to maintain,' What a pitiful condi
tion your city would be tn If you did not have. When you have done all
this there will be something left for the Salvation Army. The Salvation
Army is no longor an experiment. It has passed out of the area of specula
tion. It Is an accomplished fact"

they call themselves work bclwcaii 5

the genera) postofflre. Messengers
clear thta of Its letters every hour all
night long, Three thousand letters a
day Is the average mall of one of these
large banks. Two-thirds of It comes In
during the night These letters. In
the case of one of the bluest ot these
banks, contain from 35,000 to 40,000

000.000. Rarely does the total fall be
low $20,000,000.
The letters are opened as fsst as
they are received, the checks are count

footings or the lists. The letters are
then stamped, which shows that they
have been "proved In," as the banks
call It After that they are turned
over to the clerks, who send out the
formal aenowledgments of the remit

checks are assorted according to the
