I Woman Merchant
Amazes Chicago
By Her Ability
HICAGO has a dry goods mer
chant who is continually
amazing a city already noted
the world over for its wealth
and progressiveness in that line One
reason for this wonderment is that the
merchant in question is a woman
Mrs Mollie Netcher owuir of one of
the largest department stores in the
alono has Invested nearly 5000000 in
downtown Chicago realty in the last
four years
Prior to the death of her husband
Charles Netcher this woman had lit-
a
MBS MOLLIE NTrCHEn
tie business experience Her field was
their home and children It i said
that the husband who had a phe
nomenal rise in the commercial world
owed much of his success to his wifes
sage advice but that embraced all
her knowledge of business
Forced by her situation on the death
of her husband Mrs Netcher divided
her time between home and store She
became a silent but noue the lev po
tent force downtown and she is the
same to this day She keep- regular
oflice hours and not a mercmtile move
is made in the establishment that she
does not know of Her face is not
known by three fourths of her em
ployees and tliis enables her to make
daily inspections of each department
and observe quietly what is needed in
the way of goods and service
Following the practice of Mr Netch
er whose life was insured for 9100000
the widow insured herself until she
now holds policies aggregating 1000
000 She is said to be one of the three
most heavily insured women in Amer

Mrs Harrimans Yodeling Cowherds
The artistic is to reign in the Har

as the live stock Is concerned anyway
and the residents of that burg and
nearby Tuxedo and Harriman are
wondering what
the coming spring
will bring forth
Mrs Mary Harri
man widow of
the railway mag
nate intends go
ing back into his
tory in the man
agement of her
flocks and her
herds and the
tentative plans
embrace many
departures from
present customs
To begin with
the entire Harri
man holdings will
be made one vast
estate devoid of
all fences except
fjWSBw K1 I
for boundary purposes and over these
acres the lowing kine the bleating
sheep etc will wander guarded by
cowherds dressed in Tyrolean costume
and replacing the historic co boss
with a yodel and shepherds with
crooks and sheep dogs As the estate
contains 10000 acres it is anticipated
that the pictorial effect will be greatly
to be looked overFortunately no i increased by the fancj costumed at-

The Stoical Mountaineer Simply An
swered the Question
For stoical indifference and taci
turnity said a young man from
Knoxville Teun who was visiting in
Louisville a few days ago I neves
saw any one that could equal the Ken
tucky mountaineer
Two years ago I was camping dur
ing the summer with a party of young
men and women in the mountains
During our stay there we became ac
quainted with an old mountaineer
whom we called Sam He always re
ferred to his wife as Maria and w
fell into tfio same habit
Last year we returned to the same
plate to camp As we were going up
the mountain path on our lirst day out
we met Sim walking along apparently
in a deep study
Hello Sam we all called Wheres
Maria V
Shes eomin back there he said
directing his thumb backward over hi
shoulder V -
Ve went -on up the mountain path
and a short distance farther came upon
a party of mountaineers transporting a
dead li dy in a rickety wagon It wa
a funeral party Imagine our
when we were informed that the d -teased
was Maria Sam had not
worth his pains to Inform us th
Maria v as dead when he stated la

THE ENGAGEMENT RING
Advice the Jeweler Gave the Yoin
Man Vho Was Invctir
Some of thc e jewelers are an ac
commodating lot remarked the vikisiu
man in the light suit I went in the
other day to buy a diamond ring
For a lady the clerk asked me
I told him it was
An engagement ring he asked me
further
Yes I told him getting a little bit
peeved but I dont see what busmen
It is of 3 ours what I intend to do with
the ring after Ive paid for it out of
my own private funds
Dont be offended says the clerk
in a conciliatory tone I was just go
ing to suggest that if it was simply a
present with no engagement going
with it you go in for size rather than
for quality and when the girl come-
In to inquire about its value well lie
0 or 75 worth for you But if Its
an engagement ring I would advise
you to get the best quality you can
find even if it does mean a smaller
stone Just as a matter of senftuuiit
youll want to know that it is riev
and then if you ever get in hard hi
you can pawn the food ring for tw -thirds
of its value Cleveland Plain

The Toads Tongue
The skillful manner in which a pet
toad used its wonderfully formed
tongue entitled it to be ranked as an I
export For one thing it showed
wonderful skill in judging distance
The tongue was never darted out until
1 he insect came within a certain range
The accuracy of the creatures aim
was another matter for surprise The
I insects were generally In motion when
he tongue was darted out -against
rhem but the arrow never failed to
hit The rapidity with which the
tongue was shot forth excited much
wonder The operation Is a complex
one The tongue is doubled or folded
up when in the month Therefore a
twofold action is required an uncoil
ing of the weapon and then the dart
ing of it forth The withdrawing of
the tongue with the captured Insect on
the tip was not less remarkable Not
withstanding the rapid motion the
fineness of the tongue tip and the
struggles of the prey the victim was
never dropped Exchange

Some critics have argued that Mrs

markable as her husband had built up
the business to mammoth proportions
before he died thus leaving the trifling
duty of maintaining it to his widow
But Mrs Netcher has done more than
this as she has nearly doubled the
business and her realty holdirg5
Moreover she has not delegated to
some man the running of the concern
but attends to that herself For half
a dozen years she has run the store
and her progress in that time is a refu
