MANY WOMEN WHO MAKE LIVING ON THE ROAD J! There are more than half a hundred women in the United States who earn a living, and a good one at that, by acting as drummers, or commercial travelers, for business houses. One of the most successful of these saleswomen is not of the opinion that all members of her bex could do as well as she The women who have has done. made a success on the road, she said recently, are the women who would have made a success in any line of work they took up. There is the rank and file in every business, but I think that fewer women go on the road now than did a few years ago. Men do not regard the woman commercial traveler with favor, and many houses employ them simply as an advertisement to attract attention to their goods and make them talked about in the small towns. Other houses refuse to have a woman represent them on the road, and there are still others who find that the per cent of sales by their feminine representatives Is as large. If not larger, than by the men who made the Bame territory, "The work is hard, but less bard than that of a clerk who stands still all day behind a counter, and the pay is better. Most traveling saleswomen can make at least $1,000 a year, and few clerks receive more than $15 a week. Some routes are pleasanter than others, and it is not always agreeable to make towns of less than 8,000 inhabitants, as the hotels are likely to be poor, and there is nothing to do for amusement after the days work Is Widow of the Plumed Knight Passes to the Great Beyond.

JL There are a number of Minneapolis women who have made a success as traveling saleswomen, but they were endowed with the ability to make a success of anything they undertook. They have shrewd, capable, business brains, they are not afraid of work, and (hey deserve the large checks they receive in payment for the equally large orders they send In to their houses. Miss Pettibone, who formerly made Minneapolis ner home, and who-norepresents a corset house, with headquarters In Chicago, receives a salary of about $7,000 a year. Miss for WashMcCue formerly traveled burn, Crosby & Co. and was one of the few women selling flour. She has recently abandoned breadstuffs for soap. Among the traveling saleswomen who are well known to buyers are Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Allen, who sell baking powder; Miss Louise Ames, who has a dry goods line; Miss Augusta Asher, infants wear; Miss Heintzman and Miss Annis Burr Porter, mousetraps. Most of the traveling saleswomen represent some branch of women's wear. The women who sell soap and flour and salt are not bothered with' large trunks or samples, and they can make their sales at once If the buyer Is in the humor. A man can sometimes coax him into a purchasing disposition with a cigar or a drink, but a woman has to depend on her wit, which does not always answer the same purpose. bottle of beer he had buried and he dismounted from hiB charger on reachtree and dug ing the up the bottle and carried it to his former master. Old man, he said, you sent me after a bottle of beer five years ago. Here is the beer now.. The master embraced him, congratulated him on his success in life and opened the bottle to share with him its contents. Such excellent beer neither had ever tasted before. It was like old wine. The master, as soon as he learned that It was burial that had so much benefited it, baught 1,000 hot-- , ties of beer, buried them, and five years later sold them at a great profit, for everybody that tasted the new drink loved it. In time the secret leaked out. Breweries everywhere came to know that beer, by lying, improved. So they all adopted the lying process, and they called the new drink lying or lager beer, for lajer means lying, as yon know. In the past centuries they let beer lie longer than we do now. This is a fast age, you know. HAIR STOPS BULLET. Pompadour Breaks Force of Bullet and Saves Womans Life. To wearing her pompadour of hair flow down on her forehead Mrs. John Taylor of Chester, Pa., probably owes her life.

About a yetar ago, said he, my , office boy brought me a card reading, Mr. Joseph Montague, one hundred and something Broadway. When this Mr. Montague entered, I recognized a man I had seen in the west. He told me he was about to get up a corporation to utilize the water power of the Missouri and Kansas rivers at Kansas City. He had already agreed upon contracts with all the pork packers and other utilizers of power in Kansas City, according to his story. A large quantity of blue prints and other formidable looking things he carried under his arm. There wa9 going to be three million dollars clear profit In the transaction, he asserted, when he told me he had decided to make me counsel of the company, and would give me a million dollars for my services.

Kirby, will be one of the most Important that has been held, and It Is anticipated that the attendance will be the largest In Its history.

The making available of the wonderfully fertile, yet unproductive sections of the western states has become a national need, as has the conserving of the waters to prevent Portland Street Car by Masked Men. Six masked highwaymen held up an electric car on the Oregon City line at Portland, Ore., at midnight 'Wednesday, shot and painfully wounded Frederick Day, and after taking about $300 in money from the passengers, made their escape. Three men boarded the car on the rear and three ol' the front platform, and rode some ditance before they started to rob the car. Five men went through the car, compelling the passengers to give up their money and Jeweliy, while one man stood guard. Frederick Day, who did not produce his valuables quickly enough to suit the highwaymen, was shot, the bullet entering bis abdomen. He is seriously wounded, though the doctors say he will probably recover. About fifty people were on the car. After the robbery had been finished five of the men dropped off the car, but one remained and compelled the motorman to run some' distance farther at high speed. When they V'eaehed the timber two miles from town he left the car. It was nearly an hour before the police could be notified and the robbers bad time ia make good their escape.
