THE OMAHA DAILY. BEE : SATURDAY , .JUNE 10 1880. 11 WOMEN BREAD-WINNERS. The Problem of Female Employment and Its Solution , Fathers Should Tench Their Daugh ters Their Own Calling and Then Rend Them to lu- ilustrlnl Schools. Philadelphia Record : la every part of the civilized world the opportunities offered to solf-aunporting women have constantly increased , during the nine teenth century especially , until now there is nn almost unlimited lield of oc- cupntion in which the girl or woman of the ported need only choose that which is best suited to her taste and ability. This fact is particularly conspicuous in our own country , where she Is as free and untramnieled in this respect as is her brother. The number of women bread-winners , too , has grown with their opportunities , and has already assumed such proportions that somn persons , with tx peculiar talent for statistics , are busy % urlng out how long it will bo , at the present ratio of Increase , before the 'women who work will outnumber the men who work. With this , however , I do not propose to meddle. The riddle will solve Itself If left to lUolf. Hut what 1 lo want to point out Is thu nccssity , Jn thu face of existing circumstances , for the sort of education perhaps instruc tion would be a better word which ( Its women for a business life in which they can t-arn money. Education coming under the head of culture , by which wo understand accomplishments , is not to bo considered hero. The practical educa tion which may bo turned into golden dust upon occasion Is the kind of educa tion tnor in harmony with the progress oi this intensely practical ago. The problem of female employment would not seem so dilUctilt if parents uniformly treated their girls precisely : is they treat their bo.vs. A boy is ex pected to earn his own living , and is ex pected to lit himself to cum it. The wealthiest men in this democratic coun try do not contemplate that their sons ( slmjl go through life destitute of an occu pation. Many of the far-seeing ones make a study of the natural bent of their male progeny , and require a develop ment of that peculiar talent while they are still boys. I knew a man of "rank and station" whoso only son displayed a tiibto for mechanics' , lie was put in a machine shop before ho had reached the age of sixteen , and while his stock of book-lore was yet very meagre , and worked ten hours a day under the same rules that governed other workers in the shop until ho had mastered his trailo and turned out his lirst locomotive. Ho loved his work and was proud of. More than that , ho stood on the verge of manhood witn the consciousness that ho was good for something , and with no nonsense in his head. Kvcn in the royal families of the Old World certain professions and pursuits are assigned to dill'orcnt young princes , and the princesses are in many cases subjected to severe practical train ing in all that pertains to the household. Why , in this ago and conoration , should not the same methods of teaching bo applied to both sexes ? Everyone knows that the daughters of a family differ in their inclinations quite as much as do the sous. Why should not parents observe these little variations of talent , and bring up their daughters with thu idea that these gifts are to bo used in the future as a means of self-support , 01 oven of acquiring wealth : for there is nc reason why women in these days should not make for themselves a competency even as men do. A very gifted and oner gctic woman says she docs not sue wh > women may not become millionaires bj their own exertions as well as men. Bui she is an inventor , and , although yet a young woman , has the foundation of hoi million well laid. Everyone does nol possess the sort of brains that can a ! readily ho turned into money. Bui everyone may do much with their heaven born gifts if they will but use them , un Jess beset with untoward circumstances As to the business education of women it is best that it should begin in child hood , and it need in no wise intcrfen with their book-learning , or the training in those homely duties of sowing am cooking that are very likely to some daj or other fall to the lot of 'every woman it a greater or lesser Uegroo. Lot the gir learn these things by all means , but a the same time let her learn some othc thing that is to bo her occupation. Tin business of the father or mother sliouh bo utilized in the business education o the daughter. It devolves upon tin father , whether ho bo a mechanic or : professional man , to teach his daughter if they inherit any of his especial talent and they are quito as apt to do so as hi BOIIS lus own calling. With this liouii training , ami the idea well instilled tha she is to do something , and as far as pos sible taught to do that something , th question of the business education o women would bo to a .groat extent settled Next to the homo training as a help t girls are the schools established for th purpose of developing muscles as well a brains. The art schools which have i recent years sprung up nil over the lam are doing a good work. The kitchoi gardens and various other industrhi schools are a wise provision to supply th needs of the coming woman. Uuttlier is still a wldo field for enterprise in thi lino. In Franco there are agriculture1 schools for women , and they arosuccesi fill. At one a farm of100 acres is cult vated exclusively by females. Wh should not our agricultural college teach girl students all that is now tatigl to young men of the science and practic of agriculture ? There are a few not < worthy examples of women farmers i this country who are nmkhiir monej Hut who shall say that they would nc have found their workoasierandporhaj moro profitable had they been fortilio with a theoretical or practical kuowlcd < ; of their business at the outset ? As to the need of girls fitting then solves for a business life there can bo n doubt. On every hand is heard con plaints of thu incompetence of womu workers. Shorthand writing and typ writing are now regarded as among tl : purely femlnino employments , Hut ho many are ublo to take dictation at tl rate of sixty or seventy words a miiiuti Sonui tlmo ago a letter appeared in or of the Now York papers written by person who had advertised for a comp tent typo-writer. Of the 200 applicant all women , who each and every 01 claimed that they could write ut tno r quired rate of spued , not ono was equ to thirty wonls a uilnuto. Ami it asserted by those In a position to kno that thcro ara really less than half dozen girls In Now lork who are oxpcr at taking dictation on the typo-write This statement * peaks for Itself. To the end , however , that women m : become moro helpful , lot the homo at the industrial school teach girls eve occupation that women can follow f money which moans ovor.v occupath that exists , except a few from whli women are excluded on account of lai of physical strength , and because th are women. Then comes the real cduc tian for business business itself Fort the theoretical training possible will u make a business man or woman witho actual practico. lint this will bo easy her brain and muscles have been propsr trained , and. if she has conteinplut making use of them all her Mo betoi Beyond and above all this , she must edu cate herself to bcliuvn that all work is honorable and worth doing well ; that matrimony Is not the only harbor in which she may safely anchor , and that catching a husband is not the cln.cf end of llfo. If to this sort of training she can add a writ-balanced head , n stomach that will digest her dinner and legs that stc can got about with , she will have nothinc to fear In the hand-to-hand battle for bread with male competitors. TWO GOOD 8TORIE3. I. Uncle Joe , an Indian and a 1'nnthcr. "I was huntlh' and trappln' along the Columbia river on the Oregon side , " said Uncle Joe , a veteran of the plains and mountains , "and while 1 was right In the Injun country I kivorcd my tracks so well that it was wcoks bcforo they got on to tno. I built a brush hut in a heavily timbered bottom , and the kccrful manner In which I moved around the neighbor hood would have done credit to a cat. I used the bow and arrow altogether in killln' game , and my traps brought mo in a back load of furs about as fast as 1 could take kccr ot 'em. " 1 guess I had bin located about six weeks , ami had become sort o' carslnss , as was natural , when I got a sudden eye- opener. One afternoon I cum plump on the moccasin track of an Injun , and from the way it circumloculed around 1 soon inr.de up my mind that ho w.is huntin' fur mo. I was a bit puzzled at lirst , because thcro was only ono track , but by and by I figured out now it was. It was cither seine Injun who had slipped off to trap by hissclf for a few day. " , or it was somn warrior who had had his suspicions aroused and was doin' a loetle investiga tion on his own hook. If ho got my scalp ho was so much ahead , and glory awaited him. If ho got nothin' ho wouldn't Do laughed at by the rest of his tribe , for none of 'cm would know of nis adven ture. The mlnlt I diskivcrcd his foot prints I pulled myself together fur uizuess , and I hadn't follcrcd Ins trail over twenty rods before 1 found that ho was follerin' an old trail of mine. "It didn't take me a minit to realize that ono of us had got to die afore that hunt would bo ended. It was a question of fish or cut bait with mo. I should bo follored if I loft the bottoms , fur that red-skin wanted my life , and I couldn't stay if lie did. On his side , it would never do fur him to abandon the place after ho had dlskivored that I was alone. Ho must stake his lifo agin mine and abide the issue. Mebbe ; you kin realize sumtliin' of the foolin' winch comes over a man when ho knows that ho is bein1 tracked by somebody who demands his life. I'd rayther have had n whole tribe of rod-skins coma whoopin1 and yellin' ' down upon mo than to know that a scr- Dent was dodgin' and crawlin' along my trail , silent , determined and implacable. I hit the feller's trail about half a mile from the hut , and the hour was about 3 o'clock. I know that ho must sooner or later strike one of my frush trails and bring up at the hut , and instead of fol- lowin' him as ho followed my old trail I broke off after a few mlnits and made directly fur the hut. Near by was a mass of rock which offered a secure hidin1 place , and if I could reach it without bein1 seen I should have an advantage ; that is , it was reasonable to believe that ho would show up within shootin * dis tance durin' the next twenty-four hours. "I made the tallest kind o' tracks when I once got started. I had to lake the chance of his havin' found the hut and bom' in ambush , and I'm not disputin' that It was a great load off my mind when I got safely settled among the rocks. 1 dashed into the hut and got my rillo and a hunk of cold meat , and in twenty seconds moro I was safe for the time bein' . Jist what direction theDvar- mint would approach from 1 could not guess , but ho would bo still more puzzled to know what had become of mo. For the lirst hour the place was as silent as a graveyard , and I was lookin' ami listcnin' as only n man can when his lifo is at stake to get a hint of the where abouts of Iho onomy. I finally got a sign. A buck Ueor cum runnin' past me in a way to show that he had scon a human bein1 not fur off , and I figgcred that the rod-skin was approachin' from thn cost. Ho had made a complete half-circle ol my hidin' place. For the next half-hour I used my eyes and oars until my head ached. 1 know the varmint was ap proachin' the hut , but ho was comin' Ic cautiously that I could not toll the exact direction. "Tho sun was now gctttn'purty low , and I allowed that if ho didn't show uj purty soon I'd bo badly boxed up fur the night. I was all on aige and skeercelj able to hold myself , when , all of a sud < den , the silence was broken by an awful yell , follercd by a cry from some human bein' . It wasn't way off , but right there within a stone's throw , and I riz up as ii I had springs under mo. Right there before my eyes , and not a hundred feel away , a panther and an Injun was havin it hot and heavy , the beast usin' his claw ; and teeth , and the red-skin cuttin' am ! rilnshin' with his knife. I was so nstou ishcd that I couldn't move for a minit 01 two. and when I got ready there was m use in movin' . 'Iho two varmints rolloi : over a dox.cn times , too badly mixed , fin mo to toll which was which , and then tin panther kinder dniwcd out of the fight He might have got fifteen feet away when ho kcolod over and kicked in a waite to tell that he'd got his full. The Iniui uttered a faint whoop as the pantnoi drawee ! off , but when I reached him lu was dead as a door nail. Ho had tit it out hand to hand , usin1 his huntin' knife , am I'm tcllin'you ho was a terrible lookin object. The boast had tore almost over ; inch of clothin' otPn him , and ho was bi and clawed until ho was like raw beef. "Well , I liggorcd it out purty easy ' ' That panther had stowed hissclf away 01 ' n limb , calkphitin1 to make it hot fur mo I reckon ho didn't git up there until arte I had ambushed myself , and when th red-skin cum crawlin1 along the boas didn't stop to see whether ho was whiter or black. I was a panther skin , rilli : tomahawk and huntin' knife ahead , and although I remained thcro for thrc weeks longer , I saw no further signs o Injuns , " U The Credit Holongotl to the Mulo. "Three of us hud boon huntin' an trappin * on tha Missouri about opposit thn mouth of the Mussel Shell , " sui Dan Clash , when invited to tell a stor.i "That was in Montana , and wo had spur of the Little Kooky mountains t our bricks. There was plenty of timbc along the river , and as for game , I novc saw sich a paradise. Wo were then thre weeks without a sign of redskins , an we went thinkin' of packin' up an workin' along up stream to fort Bentot when a number of calamities hnpponoi Ono afternoon Lon Smith , ono of thoboi men us ever sighted a rillo or buitttd trap , was struck in the log by ono of tl : biggest rattlesnakes I over sot eyes 01 Wonadn't u drop of whisky with us , nc would it have done him any good if w had had n bar'l of it. The plsr.cn toehold hold as if shot into him with u gun , an in three-quarters of an hour ho was dead man. "Next day one of our paok muh strayed off , uud Bill Collins , my survivii partner , went ofT to hunt her up. As I didn't return in twenty-four hours I wei out to scent around. 1 found the mu all torn to pieces by a grizzly , and m fur away was a bloody spot and a fe shreds o ! clothin' to prove what Bill fata had bin. That loft mo ulono in a b : country , with all the load the other | > ac mule could tote. You may guess I dull : lose any time preparin fur a start. Tl lots of uiy two portuurs had rattled m until I was rcadT to run from my own shadow. I loaded up the" traps , rifles and the choicest of the furs , and one raornln * sot out fur up river and the fort , which was a pull of about 180 miles. Igotalong nil right the fust day , and when I went into camp I had about got my nerve back. At this pint the strip of timber along the river was about twenty rods wide. Then there was a valley from throe to five miles wide , and then the mountains. "I unloaded the mule and turned her loose to find her own grub , knowln' that she would bo on hand in the mornln' . She was a beast which had been in the huntin' bi/.ness all her lifo , and she could smell an Injun or locate a grizzly quicker nor any dog I over sot eves on. In fact , 1 depondedou her to give mo warnin' in case anythln' happed durin' the night , and my confidence wa ? not misplaced. It was about midnight when she pulled the blanket ofPn me , and as 1 sot up and looked around , kinder dazed like , she kent her head plntcd to the north , and softly whimpered , as if tryin' to talk to mo. It was a starlight night , but with more or less clouds driviir over , and It was so dark in the limber that you couldn't hava seen a man ten feet away. I didn't know exactly what to do whether to keen quiet or to scout around ; but the old mule kept up her whimperin' , and seemed so plalnlv to say that 1 ought ' to do sunthin' , that'I made a break and she follered mo. When I got up to the aigo of the timber the tirst thing that caught my cyo was a number of bright lights across the valley in the foot-hills , and , as I held my breath to listen , I heard the faint barkin' of dogs and the shouts of people. "I understood the situation in jlsl about a minit. A band of redskins had come Into the valley mcbbo a huntin' party , ami niebbe a whole village. Hwas a warnin' that a white man about my size had better pack up and bo oft , and 1 tell you I didn't let no grass grow under my foot in gittin1 ready. Iliad traveled in the timber durin' the dav to keep out of sight and to hide my trail , but now I loft the shelter and took to the valley. 1 had four or live hours to daylight , and the way that mule and me got up and humped ourselves amazed the coyotes. I jist know that wo were fully twenty miles away when daylight broko. The timber now was scattered along in groves , and afore daylight was too strong wo took to shelter in a bit of timber coiitainln' per haps half an aero. This timber nm to the bank of the river , and the bank at that spot was eight or ton foot high. "I wasn't jist what you might call anAl A-l Injun fighter. As 1 had put twenty miles between me and the Injuns down the valley , I sorter figgcred that thcro wasn't another redskin nighcr ' than them , and that I could take things purty easy fur a spell. I unloaded the mule and turned her loose , and had jist eaten a bit of cold breakfast when the beast cum slyly through the hushes , ears laid back and eyes shinin' , and gin mo to under stand that sunthin * was wrong agin. She didn't pint her lieud to'rds the valley , but straight fur the river , and I says to my self that perhaps she scented Injuns who were passlu' up or down in canons. I shouldered my rifle and crept to'rds the bank , but 1 hadn't gone thirty yards wlren crack ! crackl went two rifles , and two bullets zipped past my head in a way to make me dizzy. W [ th a scream such as a wild beast might give the mule mad is a rush in the direction ot the shots , and I follcrcd on. "This was what had happened and what did happen : A couple of Injuns were perhaps comin' down the valley when they saw me take to the grove. They saw mo , but I didu'tseothem. They entered the grove on the upper side , leavin' their ponies tied to a tree , and were workin * around to get a shot at me when the mule twigircd the game. Both fired at the same Instant , and as a consequence quence both rifles were empty when tlm mule charged 'cm. To escape her and I'm tellln1 3011 that sho'd have taken hold like a dog they scrambled up a cottonwood - wood growin' on the very aigo 9f the bank. Ono of 'em dropped Ins rillo on the ground , while the other took his up. The mule stood nigh the foot of the tree pawin' and squealm' , and as soon as I saw how Iho land lay I lifted my rifle fur a shot. The feller who hud taken his gun up was workin' to load her , but I stopped him. My bullet hit him in the shoulder , and it was catch and go that ho didn't tumble. I was loadin' fur another shot , and was takin * notice that the un wounded ono was climbin' higher , when the mule jumped back with snort , and the tree began to go over. It went slowly , and the two reds yelled out in terror. When it struck the water there was an awful splash and n great commotion. The tree was too green to lloat , and the water was so deep that only a few branches showed above the surface. I reckon that both Injuns wore pinned down in some man ner , fur neither ono of 'em showed up after the splash. I kept a olus watch all about the mace fur half an hour , but not a sign of thorn could 1 soo. " 1 got ono of their rilles , which was a splendid weapon , two ponies worth $100 apiece , a lot of wteel traps and a large amount of powder and load. It was moro'n a week after that when 1 rode into Fort Benton , but I never saw another Injun nor had the least worry. When the fellors of the fort wuntud to pat mo on the back and call me big Injun , I pointed to the mule and said : " 'GenU , there stands the ole gal en titled to all the credit , and the thing I'm ouhappyabout is that she can't wear n silk " ' dress.
