She is not the scrubwoman. The scrub
woman has no clothes of such ancient
date as hers, the alpaca gown that has
weathered many seasons, the black
woolen cape that has shaped Itself to
the shoulders that have bowed through
the last ten years and the little tousled
bonnet with its little bunch of flowers
that faded with the millinery of many
summers past.
Yet she has made no mistake In en
tering where the atmosphere is crisp
with the ways of the business world
and metallic with the sound of money.
For lot the oltlce boys and clerks and
men higher up stand obsequiously aside
as she passes. The bowed gray head
turns neither to the right nor the left
as she walks straight on. With assur
ance her hand rests on the gate that
leads Inside the brass-barred windows
to a mahogany roll-top desk. This Is
her office.
The shabby little old woman who

Seated atop of her huge yellow millions,

THE HELP AGENCY FAIiE.
How Ynnth, Mocklnx Work, Art
Deluded In I.nrict' l lllp.
"Many is tho deluded youth u !i
hopefully enters tho portals of an em
ployment agency with a heart f-.i!l of
expectancy," says C. A. ruttcrson. lu
tne (. nicago Tribune. "Th'vu-eth-.illv
an neency finds the Job and only wain
for the right bright-eyed young man to
come along and claim it. I have wen
agency managers fret and fume be
cause they couldn't llnd the- right man
for some or th-Mr salaried ulaces. vt
I actually know that often these state
ments are myths to elve an inwnvsioii
of thriftlnostf to the place. So eager are
some of these agencies to place men
that they will stop ut nothing. Or.e case
1 remember quite vividly where a vnniu
man employed by n wholesale grocery
wished to got a better position. lie ap
plied nt one of the oldest agencies in
the city. Of course, the aseiicv mana
ger asked him where he was working,
and without limitation tho clerk told
him. Now, what did this agency man
ager do but call ou tho clerk's enudov-
ers and tell tham their employe was
hunting another Job. The result was
the clerk was discharged and the agency
put In a man in his place. If the
agency had secured a nlace for this
clerk It would have been all right, but
It didn't and never expected to.
"The method of some of these ko-
cnlled agencies would make a criminal
blush. I have positive lnform.it lo:i
showing that somo disreputable em
ployers of help work in conjunction
with the agencies. They operate In
this wn,y: A clerk applies to an agency
for a Job. After going over letters of
reference, etc. which, by the way, Is a
mere farcical form the clerk is scut to
n manager who is favorably inclined
toward the agency. The clerk is put
to work, with the agency holding a
written contract that he will pay his
first week's wages for tho job. The
clerk works a week and pays the fee.
The next Monday he shows up bright
and early, believing that the rest of his
earnings will be his own, to find he has
no Job waiting for him.
"Not all jobs of the agency arc fakes,
but the only employers depending on
agencies for help are those who can't
get help any other way. Either the lo
cution Is so poor a high-grade man
won't work there, or the salary so low
a good man will not consider it. These
are the kind of -employers agencies
catch. It Is absurd to think of n gon-i
position such us tho agencies puinj wit
going n-begglug among the agencies."
The Wronit Nell.
Nell Is a lrl who lives up ou Capi
tol hill. On Mondays a woman comes
to Nell's house to wash clothes. The
woman's name is Nell, too. One Mon
day Nell, the girl, was in the sitting
room reading when the telephone- rang:
Nell, the washerwoman, answered the
ring. Nell, the girl, then heard Nell,
the washerwoman, sny:.
"Yes, this Is Nell."
Silence. " ' '" i
"now's that?".
Silence.
"What I Am I mad because you kiss
ed me last night? Look here, man,
you're too fresh. Who are you any
way? I never kissed "
Just then the telephone receiver was
wildly snatched, from her hand. Nell,
the girl, blushing furiously; had grab
bed it. She bung it on the hook.
"ne wanted me," she said. "He al
ways tries to tease me that way. I I
never kissed him In my life."
As she disappeared up the stairs the
washerwoman smiled and said:
"That's a big one." Denver Tost.
Hooded Saake.
The hoods of snakes were unques
tionably intended by nature to act as
weapons of intimidation, for when sud
denly opened, as they are during the
excitement of a contest, these give
their owners an apparent and formida
nble enlargement. But the hoods which
have been so useful at some period In
snake history have now become so en
larged as to tend toward the extinction
of their owners, Just as tho overdevel
opment In the tusks of prehistoric ani
mals led straight to their destruction.
Durlug a fight the hooded snake in tho
act of strlklsg his foe suffers from the
outstretched and weighty hood he
overbalances himself and topples for
ward. His assailant, the mongoose and
some birds specially, seizes him when
prostrate and, ripping up the back of
the neck, speedily dispatches him.

a weak nervous system.
Yours maj' be. If it is,
you cannot get well -until
you restore nerve strength
Your nervous svstem- is
nature's power house; the
organs ot' your body get
their power from it. If
the power is not there,' the
-action of the organs is
weak, and disease (sick
ness) follows. Dr. Miles'
Nervine cures the sick
because, it soothes the
irritated and tired nerves
and gives the system a
chance to recuperate.
Try it, and see if yon do
not quickly, feel its bene
ficial effect.
