It has so often beoln stated that "women know nothing of bn.'iness," that it has come to be accepted as a truism by utnthinking people. Yet lnn1dreds of business men owe not a little of their Success to cool-leaded, sagacious wives. A frequent 111odlii cation of the first statnlent is that 'woinen excel inl sillall uconoicles, but are unable to grlta) liar:ge blsiness clnterpIises," or it' they do thev become Imasculinie andIt lose that gIracious lenininity which is the principa! charin of voleti.

'Within an11 hout' two artists were oni their way to Washing ton, and betor'e sunsitet were dligenitly at work sketching thec scenes of' the tragedy.

It occurred late i on Monday evening, September 19, and I the "Illustratet" newspaper had gone 1 to press 1he11 tlie news arrived. She inieiliately ordered the presses stop ped, desiroyed the part of the edition already published, set the whole force of the establishment at work preparing a new edition with engravings of the sketches sent in over early Ti'nesday morning by the artists at Elberon, and befiore Wednesday night. had on sale , paper full of illustrations of the death bed scenes. A week later she seized' aniotheri oppor'tuniity.

Airs. Leslie resolved to anticipate the usual day of publication the followin"ig week, and deposit in Cleveaiu I papers containing full illus (rations of the scenes at Washiigtoi on lo<iy iiiorniiig.
