"The Incident and Its evident news
value," comments the Chicago Inter Ocean,
"raises the old question: Are women mora
honest than men or more trustworthy
where money is handled? Iieports aa to
the employment of women In the Treaaury
department at Washington and as to the
records of young women carhlers In busi
ness houses In Chicago answer this dues
tlon affirmatively.
"It la contended, however, that the places
held by women offer less temptation to em
bezzlement than the placea Involving larger
and mora con. plicated transactions held by
men. It Is contended also that natural
gallantry leads business men to take more
pride In the record of a girl ordinarily
honest than In the record ot a boy of the
same probity and to regard the slight de
partures of a girl from business method!
more leniently than the shortcomings of a
boy.
"With all due allowance for these ele
ments. It remains true that women in the
Inst ten years have won a reputation for
honesty In places of trust. Whether this
Is due to the more exclusive home training
of girls, with Its higher Ideals of honesty,
or to a scrupulous regard for correct busi
ness principals born of the newness of
women's association with practical business
affairs, the fact remains that women have
won a reputation for honesty which has
carried them far In the business world.
They deserve the reputation ao well that a
departure from their established stand
ard excites general astonishment."
. Belle. Troyes Her Bravery.
Miss Mary Doherty of Margaretta street,
Pittsburg, after killing with a revolver two
large catamounts which had attacked her,
was, found unconscious some days ago on a
lonely road near Clay Run, twelve miles
east of Conellsvllle, Fa, Philip Coxe, a
young farmer, nearly drove over the pros
trate body of the young woman, which lay
In the middle of the road. Close by were
the carcasses of the fierce beasts she had
lain.
When she regained consciousness Miss
Doherty described the terrifying experience
which had befallen her on her return from
a visit to a friend who lived a short distance
from Clay Run.
A the neighborhood had been troubled
considerably by catamounts, the young ,
woman, who la an expert shot, carried a
pistol as she ventured forth unattended.
When within a half mile of Clay Run
he was started by the appearance of two
formidable beasts, which sprang from be
hind a rock In the hillside. Before the
young woman could recover from her first
fright the catamounts were upon her,
clutching at her throat. Drawing the pis
tol, Miss Doherty fired, killing one ani
mal and wounding the other.
The young woman fell to the ground,
bleeding from numerous cuta on the neck,
face and body, whereupon the wounded
catamount renewed its attack. Miss Do
herty fired again; her aim was true, and
the wounded beast fell dead by her side.
Then Miss Doherty fainted. (

Wosnea Bootblacks.
A few years ago when a woman wanted
her shoe polished she rubbed them over
with a liquid polish out of a square bottle.
The little sponge attached to the cork of
the bottle was too small and the liquid
usually caused the leather to crack, but
no one objected seriously. Finally It oc
curred to someone that women's shoes, be
ing composed' of the came material aa
men's, might be polished after the same
manner. Perhaps that happened about the
time when good calf shoes superseced thin
French kids for street wear. As general
ta the custom has become, there are sur
prisingly few places where women may
have their shoes attended to. The larger
shoe stores and some department store
have bootblacks, who are kept very busy,
Indeed. In the women's waiting room of
city stations theie are stands, and if a
woman does not object to the publicity of
the thing she may be shinned at many ot
the men's stands or on the ferryboat).
Singularly enough, there is only one place
In New Tork exclusively for women. This
Is .In the lobby of the Martha Washington
hotel. The establishment Is not only de
voted to women, but It Is the business
venture of a woman, who Is making a very
comfortable living out of her enterprise.
"The Idea was original with me," said the
woman. "That is, I had never heard of
such a thing when I resolved to make the
venture for myself. Since then I have
heard of a similar establishment In Chi
cago, and It Is quite possible that they ex
ist elsewhere. The possibilities In such
a business occurred to me aa they must
have occurred to other people who have
watched the long line of women waiting In
a shoe store to have their shoes freshened.
I had grown very tired of working on a
salary and I longed for a business of my
very own, so I resolved to Investigate the
choe polishing business. The more I looked
Into It the better It seemed to promise,
and I began to look for a location. I
wanted a place In the shopping district,
but was unable to And one, so I chose a
hotel as the next best place. I rented this
space sixteen feet long by twelve feet
wide, but I wanted the furnishing to be
just right. I am erure I sat In 100 chairs
before I bought those four, and I looked
in a dozen places before I found that tiny
wardrobe and the swinging cheval glass."
The oak chairs are certainly models of
comfort. When a woman sits down In one
and puts her foot on the shoe rest, her
spine does not have to take on an un
natural curve and no obtrusive knob or
bunch pokes her between the shoulders.
The seat is neither too high In the air
for a small woman nor too near the ground
for a tall one. That there Is a great deal
In such details no one need doubt. Two
or three good rugs on the floor and a few
blooming flower pots scattered around the
room help to make the place attractive.
of animals. Dogs and cats do not like salt.
Even the domestic herbivores get along
very well If salt is not added to their
food."
M. Lnufer discredits alt tales of Illness
from the discontinuance of salt. , The
French soldiers who were said to have
suffered from lack of salt in the siege of
Mets did so. he says, simply because they
requlrej It to hide the taste of the spoiled
meat they were forced to eat. The story
of the Russt&n serfs who are reported to
have fallen 111 when deprived of salt by
their lords bears on Its face, M. Laufer
thinks, marks of Its falsity.
Among the chief morbid symptoms said
to follow the lack of salt Is edema, or
welling, but the writer shows that nowa
days a diet without salt Is prescribed for
this trouble and has been effective In cur
ing It. In the same way he disposes to
his satisfaction of all the different Ills sold
to arise when one is deprived of salt.
Final'-, he calculates the amount of salt
necessary to carry on the processes of
organic animal life and the amount Inst
by excretion and comes to the following
conclusion:
Our food, provided It constitutes a proper
regimen In the physiologic sense of th
word, contains In Itself and with no neces
sity of adding to it from outside, sufficient
alt for our needs. Pari Review Scientific
Winter Window Garden.

1. ' Choose plants adapted to room cul

will receive. .
2. Feed them well.
8. Keep them clean.
4, Xeep all insects from them.
An Ideal window garden contains both

should be the most of the latter. In fact,
there need not be above one or two foliage

always be what are known aa specimen
pjnnts, I. o.. handsome enough and lux-url-nt
enough to stand in a gardlnler or ore
a pedestal by themselves If one wanted to
have then thus. These finely developed,
bold-outlined specimens give breadth and
tone to any collection. If one enn afford
a fins palm or rubber plant, these are ex

a luxuriant asparagus sprengerl! or plu

good place for them for this reason.
The majority of window plants should be

Bachelor Maids na Boomers.
The bachelor girl has gained for herself
a new distinction, commonly supposed to
belong exclusively to her bachelor brother,
fine is In demand as a roomer. She not
only equals the man roomer In her reputa
tion for being desirable among landladies,
but she goes him one better. If she is a
true bachelor maid in the sense that sho
leads a business life, she has all his ad
. vantages as to her absence during the day,
and If she cherishes In Tier secret heart
a desire to wash out handkerchiefs or bor
row a flatlron she has th reputation' of
either not having time for it or carefully
suppressing it.
Neither the doors nor the hearts of land
ladles have opened readily to her call, how
ever. Owing to the Increasing demand of
this class of women for a place to lodge an
agency In Chicago applies Itself to Us needs
exclusively. ,
"It is difficult at first," said the woman In
charge to a Chicago Tribune reporter, "to
got some people to even consider taking a
woman. But the market is not overfull
of men roomers and the woman who is
a v'-ius to add a little to her house money
dociiics after some hesitation to try It. -
"Pretty soon she Is back. 'Give me an
other of those business women,' Bhe says.
'She leaves no ashes nor cuspidores to be
cleaned, she guthers up her own laundry
and hangs up her own clothes, and she. is
neater generally than the men I've had.' "
"Th bachelor maid also has the habit of
oasually mentioning to her' landlady the
hour at which she expects to be in at
night, which many times is much appre
ciated. 1 Bhe is almost sure too, to be
good pay. In fact, what are called social
references rather than business references
are what we are asked to furnish with
woman renters. The average woman who
takes a girl Into her home wants to know
that her acquaintance is such as to give
her some idea of the conventionalities,
which Is fair, as a large part of her social
life In the evening Is carried on in the
house. As a class, however, the business
woman Is observant ot these things, and
the on thing which sometimes deters a
woman from renting her rooms to a bache
lor maid is the fact that she la apt to ask
the privilege of receiving her callers in the
parlor. Many women renting to business
women arrange their rooms with couohes
and screens and furniture which is gener- f
ally suggestive of a sitting room on this
account. Little evening gatherings and at
homes are one of the things which the
working woman usually will have as soon
as she has any quarters st all, be they largo
or small. But they are not apt to be noisy
ones or objectionable in any way, and the
fact that she Is fond of them makes a girl
put more money Into her room than a man
will, and the girl who gets a fair salary Is
generally ready and willing to pay a good
price for a auite, where a man with the
same Income would be satisfied with a hall
bed room."
Shonld FoodBe Salted? '
This Is no new question, but apparently
it la not settled yet. In an exhaustive dis
cussion of it, M." Ren Laufer concludes
that while salt Is absolutely necessary to
the animal organism, enough of it for our
needs Is contained naturally in our ordi
nary articles of food, so that the addition
of It as a condiment is superfluous. Tales
of disease caused by lack of salt he dis
misses as untrustworthy. Says M. Laufer:
"The desire for salt Is certainly universal.
It seems to have been used everywhere at
all times and In all civilizations. The same
salt seasons today the miserable portion
of the Soudanese negro and the choice
dishes of European tables The
heed of salt is not' limited to man; many
animals seek It with avidity. So
general a predilection, so Imperious a de
sire should not be regurded aa a simple
Incident, that is certain; but do they cor
respond to an unavoidable necessity?"
If It not curious that the chloride of
sodium should be the only salt that we
take from nature to add to those contained
in our food Itself? Other' mineral sub
stances play a much more Important part
in the constitution of the tissues, the salts
of lime and th phosphate of soda, for
Instance. When we use then by
themselves It Is as medicine.
"The taste for salt Is not Innate or In
stinctive; It 1 acquired. The mother's
milk contains very little salt. Cow's milk I '"lured.
has at least four times as much, but even
this amount the adult who should live on
milk alone ay, three quarts a day would
take more chloride than he needs.
"Man In a state of nature does not salt
tils food. Primitive peoples who lead a pas
toral and nomadic life do not add salt to
What they eat. Th sara is true
From Fashion's Notebook.
Skirts, except for walking costumes, must
be full about the bottom.
The Burgundy, plum and blue mauve are
also being made up for fashionable women.
Orange gloves are shown to match the
suit of the woman who goes In for one of
the new orange-colored gowns.
In broadcloths exquisite leather and copper
tones are leading the onionskin hues, but
yet all are of the lighter tones of brown
and all, therefore, merely variations of the
same color .
A white fur felt hat Is trimmed with dceD.
full folds of ponip-'dour silk, in which hello
trope predomlnatfe, but combined with
other colors, including pink and green. At
one side of the hat are feathers, short
standing plumes, one pink, one pale green
and another heliotrope.
Milliners, like modistes, rise above nat
ural colors, and one may find all sorts of
things, feathers, fruits, flowers nnd furs,
in queer colors. One hat, a turban, is
unique. It has a top of astrachnn In a
shade of purple, the sides formed by a bond
of ermine, and nt the left Is a white pom
pom neia in place oy a oik jet tiuttnn.
Those big eight-inch ions- automobile
safety veil pins are not to be worn with the

the purpose for which they were first built.
There is a five-Inch pin which Is worn In

There are Innumerable Jeweled pins In the
shape or horses of all sorts, In stickpins for
men, and the same things made Into
brooches for women. In the saddle horses
th saddles are as a rule In enamel, while
the entire body of the animal Is made up
or diamonds. Something that varies a
little In this style of pin Is a horse s head
with a good slsed horseshoe nail.
One of the richest gowns is In a dinner
frock of purple net over chiffon with In
crustations of velvet, almost with a panel
effect, and embroidery of paillettes in the
same color. A beautiful cream repousse
lace falls full from the elbow sleeves of the
fown and finishes the corsage around the
ront, where there is a bertha of purple
silk and velvet, cut in squares and em
broidered with the paillettes.
Radium silk Is the material of a gown of
corn color, made up with lilacs. Around
the decolletage of the gown Is draped ra
dium and tulle to match, and natural col
ored lilacs In soft shades are caught In It.
These match a girdle of pompadour silk In
lilac tones. The skirt is trimmed with three
deep, full puffs, each having a heading of
the silk and of the tulle. There Is a full
niching ot tulle around the lower edge.
Chat Abont Women.
Miss May Handy, who married James
Brown Potter, has been the Ideal southern
beauty for twenty years. Hers Is a tall,
willowy figure, and nor hair In later duys
has been like burnished copper. Her
parents have been dead for years and she
has lived alone with her two servants on
Franklin street, Richmond disdaining a
chaperon because she stood on a plane so
high that she needed none.
Mrs. - Humphrey Ward Is having the
present enjoyment of seeing the fruits of
her labors In establishing a branch for spe
cial Instruction of crippled children In the
vacation school of the Passmore Edwards
settlement In London, founded by her in
fluence. It Is five years since this branch
was opened and already some of the chil

Madame NelidofT, wife of the Russian
ambassador to France, Is at Toulon, super
intending the equipment of the hospital
shin Orel, which, owing to the generosity
of French subscribers, Is to be fitted out
most sumptuously. It sailed September 5
for an unknown destination, though It Is
difficult to guess why secrecy should be
observed concerning a hospital ship.
Miss Harriet L. Matthews. Just elected
librarian of Lynn's (Mass.) public library,
was opposed with the usual dislike to give
a woman a man's place, so held, although
she had been assistant there for over thirty
years, and had been the really Important
factor In the usefulness of the library for
many of those years, having originated
every Improved method now in use in what
is the fifth library of Importance in Mas

tronomer, never allows anyone to cut her
husband's hair but herself, and shs uses
the shorn locks for pillows. Her home In
Paris Is full of pillows stuffed with such
clippings. Telescopes, hellometers, sex
tants, astrolabes and other astronomical
Instruments are scattered all about among
them. The Flammnrlons were married

By Jury of Awards of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
This Jury is comprised of eminent men from this and
foreign countries who awarded the Grand Prize to "STAR
BRAND SHOES" for the highest order of merit in all the
elements of a PERFECT SHOE. Every claim for excel
lence and superiority is allowed, confirmed and rewarded.
A,lr
A
Never ha greater compliment been extended
any firm than the awarding of the Grand Prize,
which is the highest award given by the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition to Roberts, Johnson & Rand
Sfcoe Co. of St. Louis, makers of the famous Star
Brand' Shoes, Including the well-known "Patriot"
$3.50 Shoe for men, aud the "May Flower" $2.50
Shoe for women.
Take into consideration that this jury was se
lected from all portions of the civilized world, fol
their capability, eminence and honesty, and in
their deliberations they determined upon the quality
of material, workmanship and durability, as well as
style and superiority over all other shoes, and it
is easy to deduct, why this firm, which has only
been in business six years, did a business of
$6,003,750 last year, gaining $2,002,189 in ship
ments in one year. This is the greatest record ever
made by any shoe house on earth. Another grand
endorsement of the quality of Star Brand Shoes is
found in the commendation and approval of over
3,000,000 people .who are wearing them today.
