16 THE ILLUSTKATKD DEE. Hot-so. ber 15, 19Q& Corporations and Women III T IS reported that ail the women stenographers In the general of fices of the Grand Trunk rail way are to be dlschared for the reasons hereinafter aet forth, to- wit: , i "Because they are too much adtllctod to Uia chocolate cream and canunel habit. "Because, when not Indulging In varlona klnda of confectlotia, they are engaged In nibbling at solid food. "Because thjr talk too much, and espe cially about matters In which the railroad company, as a common carrier, and a cor poration organised for profit, Is not now 'and cannot under' any circumstances be come Interested. "Because the average woman employe has no thought for the future that Is asso ciated with the development of the com pany's Interests, her main purpose being to kill time until she finds a husband." 'It is posxlble that some of these charges are well founded. It Is possible that women employes as a rule, and particularly when they are thrown together In large num bers, are prone to carry feminine weak-' nessea Into the daily routine' of business life to the extent of endangering the bal- ance of those masculine minds which are more or less Influenced by their delightful presence. , It Is possible that half a dozen caramel enilng women in a general office are capa ble of throwing a well organized railway system out of gear, and that no discipline was ever established that has been suffi ciently rigid to prevent the average woman from forgetting business If there Is any-' thing more Interesting at hand. But, with this admitted, the fact re-, mains that If candy, lunches -and gossip only can be eliminated,'. women as a rule are not only faithful and honest, but com petent employes. This fact is well recog nised. . '. .Men are not perfect. We believe that thls-wlll.be admitted . even by railway, managers. And It Is frequently the fault of the men rather than the fault of. the; women that the women do ' not adhere more strictly ' to the office rules. When there are no men the .women do better. When there are a few men the women do Hot do so well. When there are as many men as there are women neither the men nor the women do quite as well as ther ought to do. And man la as much inclined now as he was in the garden of Eden to throw the blame on the woman when any thing goes wrong. .Still, for woman's sweet sake, let us hope that the action of the railway com- . pany In question may teach her that, while oajidy, lunching and gossiping may all be very well In their way, yet from man's point of view, business Is business.

Into the kitchen, where they ducked their heads Into the dishwasher's tub, full to the brim, . Pishes, pots, pans and even the lamps were plied on top of them and scat tered over the floor. Shattering glass and trampling feet raised a most unearthly row. Ducked Into Insensibility, the two board lng masters wore then dragged Into the barroom, which was wrecked In a similar manner. There would certainly have been murder done had not a squad of police burst In the front door just then and charged the drink -erased sullors. Moat of them were rounded up after a desperate fight and hauled off to the police station, but not until a squad of reserves had re ' enforced the original patrol, Al Black, Seattle Mike and the bartender were taken to the hospital. ' Next day Captain Iarsen appeared at the police station and paid the fines. "It griefs me," he said, as the men fol lowed him meekly out Into the street, "to flnt you In dis condition. Tou haf glfen avay to sinful wrath again. Vat did you Co to darn?" "They're In the hospital." replied Jack, With a sickly smile. "Veil." continued the skipper, "in dot eaaa, I see de hand of de Lord, who amlteth In His anger. 'Vengeance Is mine,' said LLe Lord.

Carpenter's Letter (Continued from Page Twelve.) public buildings of the queen are now used by the French officials, who are introducing modern Improvements of all kinds. They have Improved the ports, have Instituted schools and colleges and are doing much to better the country. France has a big slsed Island empire. Madagascar olone Is as long as from New Tork to Chicago and as wide as from Washington city to Boston. Just east of It Is Reunion, an Island not quite as big as Rhodo I.land, which also belongs to France. It Is noted for Its plantations of coffee, vanilla and spices. Northwest of Madagascar are the Comoro Inlands and the island of Mpyotte, all very rich In sugar, vanilla and coffee, and In the West Indies, are a. number of Islands equally valuable,' The chief of the West Indian Islands are Guadeloupe and Martinique. The French also own the state of French Guiana, . on the coast of South America below them. France has also Inlands In the Pacific. Eust of Australia It owns New Calelonia, which it uses largely as a prison settle ment. It has the Wallls archipelago northeast of the Fljls, the Huon Islands northwest of New Caledonia, the Loyalty islands- further eastward, Futuna and Alafl, south of the Wallls islands, and the Now Hebrides. It also has a large num ber of Islands In the South seas, and especially the Society Islands, the most Im portant of which Is Tahiti, with an area of 600 square miles and population of 10,000 souls. , . ' The French have also small colonies In East India and some .very large ones In farther India, such as Tonkin. Annam, Cochin China and Cambodia, of which I have written in -previous letters. , FRANK G. CARPENTER. Derelict Street Cars ' (Continued from Page Eight.) and the car Itself Is making all the noise which Is a feature of the present day street car system. Why, one day a man ven walked right Into ono of our old horses and was trodden down and the car passed over him and he died an hour later. He was brooding on the lllg.pf life at the time the accident occurred and was entirely oblivious to the fact that a street car was coming down upon him. "Today people will wa!k right up to a street car without knowing it, although the car la making plenty of noise. Just the other day a woman actually stepped right off a Fa mam car which was running at full speed, lhe conductor was In the front part of the car and did not notice her and she stepped onto the back platform and walked right out Into the open. Of course she was seriously Injured and the question arises, why did she do that?

The present officers of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company re: Frank Murphy, president; Guy C. Barton, vice president; R. A. Leussler, ecretaryj W. A. gmlth, general manager; T. A. Tucker, general superintendent Every effort has been put forth to place the local street car system on a metropoli tan basis. The Dorfge street cars have teen fitted with a wooden shoe to prevent pos sible aeddnnts If the brake should refuse to perform Its work. Heavy rails have taaen tne place of the shorter and lighter rails, thus doing away with the numerous Joints and making the track more stable. This Is a striking contrast to the former methods to which the old ci.'- now housed In the Hanscom park bern could testify.
