An JEcglioh pajjer hae recently been
devoting much apace to the disoue
eion of the question of Whether yeo
men are stingy or' not, and unfortu
nately, 'tbo consensus of opinion seems
to be that, in addition to her other
and manifest faults, when it oome? to
money matters sue |a mesf'o. Various
things are got forth in substantiation
of this theory, as, fo* instanoe, Ro
man's behavior at the bargain coun
ter, her inability to buy anything
without first trying to beat down
tbo price, the,, adamantine attitude
she assumes about giving money arid
soon.
Every woman who reads this will
feel like entering a vigorous protest
against such an unjust accusation,
and will deoy the charge in toto.
Women are not stingy and if, as a Bex,
we are less free with our money and
more given to a cheeseparing policy
than men, it is for the very sufficient
reason that we have, loss money to
spend. Man,, as a m?nerai thing, U
the money earner. Ho carries the
poeketbock, and may do as he pleases
with his own, without giving anjaf
ccunfc to any one. -Vornan seldom
has any money of whioh she has abso
lute control. What is given her for
housekeeping, for clothes and neces
sary C?p?uac? ?s (ho very ieast with
which the desired and expected re
sults oon bo accomplished, and she
must needs lock HI to every cent
and see that she gets'the worth of her
money. It is this neceosity that
makes her the victim of the bargain
counter* and tbo trading stamp, and
the fakira who sell make-believe
goods, where you get something for
nothing. She ba&< literally nothing
^io ^blow in" on things that are a
'mere temporary gratification of tbo
moment. *
Ab a matter, of'fact, women are not
expected to spend money on purely
personal indulgences, and so it seems
doubly hard for them to be accused
of stingiriess. A man thinks nothing
of ordering a < lunoh that will cost a
dollar or two. His wife may be jnat
as hungry, and would enjoy it just as
*sA? does, but she hesitates be-,
greats herself to a glass of
laoda. No intelligent female
\. ?h'hankers for oream puffs and
^s so many seenii to suppose.
|n simply order them' because
satisfying -*and 1 cheap, and
jotbeoause of atinginesB, but.be
!}t was all they felt like they
(afford. If any woman Bpent as
i money on the gratification of ?
,?y individual tasto as a man does
Mgare, she would be held up as a
4': ing to young men about to^com
matriuiony. Nobody, would speak
er osa liberal woman. They would
$he was recklessly, ruinously ex*.

it cannot be denied that men and
. imen look at money from' different
, ?ints of view, and that men do spend
itore freely than women. Take the
\toatter ;.of treating, for instance,. ^5.

friends and set up the dn>ka,' or the

some day we hear that in his expan
sive w*y uf doing things the open
hearted young man has embraced tho
contents of his employers' qash
drawer, and is a fugitive from iustice,
and then we wonder if there are not
time's when honesty is as good as
liberality.
When it conies to real generosity?
the generosity that means self -denial
and self-sacrifice?tho very finest
flower of it may be ftfuud among wo
men. A woman may insist on having
the worth of her money, she may re?
fuse to treat or pay the way of those
who are perfectly able to pay for
themselves, but when - it comes to a
question of real want her hand is the
first, and quickest to give. It is the
mito? that women save by scrimp
ing hero and pinching there that
build the churches and sustain the
charities and send missionaries to the
heathen.
?moog the women against whom
this charge is of tones t brought up is
tbo woman who keeps a boarding
house. Mrs. SlimdietVstinginess has
beep the subject of the cheap, wits
for{ generations, who have rung the
changes on ancient butter and the
centipede legs of tho boarding house
ohioken ad unueeoin. We have aeon
her pathetic striving held up to ridi
cule, her economies made mean and
sordid, but no one has said anything
about the other side of the question?
of tho hundred and hundred of times
when she has given shelter and homo
to poor girls out of work, and of tho
weeks and months she has let a
board bill run along for some young
fellow who ha* lost a job, ^and who;
but for her; would have neither food
nor shelter. No ono whose fate has
not takf/a them among such people
has any idea of/ the extent of the
generosity-?the generosity that does
opt eve*.' meet the poor reward of
thank?that such women bestow. It
is given out" of poverty, and hard
work, and bitter striving, and ono
girl so kept off tho street,/og? man
saved from tramping or desperation,
is more reg! generosity and wo
ore than a lino of colleges and chari
table institutions built from hereto
tho Canadian line.
Behind the apparent stinginess of
many a woman lies a pathetic little
story that the world never knows.
Sometimes she is a well-to-do woman
who is cloaking her husband's miser
liness to her.. Sometimes we ceo her
niggardly; and the servantB tell /nV
taloa of pinohing aud scrimping, and
we cannot know that she is heroioal-.
iy standing/lik'e a lonely and deserted
sentinel, over wretched and ruined
fortunes,. trying to keep up appear
ancos until the girls arc married or
the boys in business. It is to . his
mother's so-called stinginess that
j mioy a poor boy owes his college edu
cation and hie* career in life. His
fal her hadn't the courage not to be
lit ara?, because he couldn't afford it.
Ho must bolocg langes and pay his
pa :t for expensive floral designs when
"Pi t Dobian died, and cCntribr^o to the
b? id when some idiot suggested pre?
I se iting a modal to the leader. He

weot onmovod on her way. She stint

and heart-breaking ecoDomioo, but she
gave hoi* boy an education ' and a start

Stingy? No! it ia an unfounded
charge. Women are careful of money;
they are just with it, and when there

"Just why President Roosevelt
should have confided to Cqngresr, his
personal conviction that married wo
men should not be permitted to work
in fsotories it is in> possible to b?y,r |
says the Charleston News and Cou
rier. There are some who are unable j
to Bee or believe that it is any of
President Roosevelt's business. The
News and Courier is one of these. A \
man with a fortune and a salary of
950,000 a year is not hardly a fit judge
to declare that an industrious woman,
without anything but her health and
willingness to earn her living, shall bo
barred out of any respectable lino of
ernployin?G'c.. She has as much right
to work in a factory as Mr. Roopovolt
has to be President of the United
States. It would be much better,
perhaps, to provide a husband of the
right sort and a better place for her;
but until these "academics," of whom
Mr.; Roosevelt himself has bo often
complained oan provide, or at least
point to something better than faoiory
work, they should certainly bo denied
the right to regulate unfortunate toil
ers, male or female, who mutt toil, out
of their only opportunity to make
their way in a very selfish ^orld.
As the News and Courier adds, the
President doubtless had in mind his
well-known opposition to race suicide.
It would, too, bo a glorious thing if
?very mother, or possible mother, in
the land oould be relieved of the ne
cessity of making a living for herself
or for anybody else. >*ut the obsta
cles in the way of bringing this mil
lennial oondition of affairs to pass arc
numerous and obvious. In the t rsfc
place, the married women themselves
:ght object. . T?cli our. is just now
making a gallant struggle for emanci
pation from tho industrial tyranny to
whioh it has been long subjected.
Freedom of endeavor it alleges to bo
requisite to success in tho pursuit of
happiness.
"If matrimony is to bo mado a bar
to a woman's employment in a factory,
why should in not still furthor curtail
tho opportunities open to her energy
and enterprise? Who .'may t wisely
draw the line between the labor that a
married woman may and may not do
without hindrance or detriment? Tho
present Congress assembled- at'Wash
ington gives evidence of numbering
among its members many willing
workers. Soino of these gentlemen
htve shown a disposition to ejaeix a
verbal lance in behalf of dec.tf*/lly
queer legislative vagaries, but it is
questionable whether the President
has not at. last discovered one that
will daunt even them. In any event,
we shall wait with impatience to see
what the married women of the coun
try will have to say about ft should
serious effort be made to limit by stat
ute the avocations that are open to
them." * ??
../Woman was for smoy dark-' ages
man's slave. As far ob the masou?iue
tyrant was able to go he went, woman's
charma leading at last to a rivalry
amongst the men, of which she was
not slow to take advantage. In some
countries the long-bearded and poly
gamous tyrant was actually worship:
pod by his scores of concubines. The
native American . en joyed himself
hunting and fighting, whil? th? squaw
tilled tho corn, ground it into meal and
made it into cakes for her brave, who
lorded It over her. Tho enlargement
of woman's gphoro has been gradual
until recont years, during whichxsbe
his proved herself roan's formidable
rival in many new lines. Tho News
ia inclined to suspect that women
have invaded oertaiu lines which
might have been better to leave alone,
but, speaking generally, liberty is
woman's means of avoiding slavery,
just as it is man's means of avoiding
it, and tho change by whioh woman's
sphere has been greatly enlarged is
one of tho most important and satis
factory results that the civilization of
the race bas worked out up to this
time.
Aside, however, from all differences
of opinian us to whether woman should
enjoy just as many rights and chanocs
as ber former lord and master enjoys,
as to whether she is not really entitled
to more rights rather than fawer rights
on aooount of her sex, we arc confron
ted by a condition rather than by a
mere theory. Tho oondition is known
of all men to exist. There arc thou
sands of good women in Washington
and in every other city, some of them
with working husbands, who must
toil in exacting and disagreeable lines
of labor in order to secure for thorn*
selves and those dependent upon
them, the necessaries of life. "Acad
emics" may spin fine theories, reform
ers may wail over statistics and
proud daduies, in their prime, with
plenty of money aud power may pro
pose airy schemes, but these do not
meet the conditions -or ohango tho
facts. Seeing that the women are on
earth, that they must work and even
drudge, the obvious duty of those who
would help, rather than hinder, them
iB to provide easier and better . oppor
tunities for tbem before taking away
the poor opportunities those unfor
tunates arc now bravely able to find.
If it is impossiblo to provide better
opportunities, then it is both fuoiish
and cruel to talk about turning women
out of factories and mills. If there
are those who would do this they
should at least be required to produce
a good husband or some better em
ployment for every voteless unfortu
nate whom it is proposed to rob of
evon the ono poor opportunity she
now enjoys.?Galveston News.
. She Really Was Younger.
"Society those days is exactly like*
the Mississippi river," says an elderly
mau, whose name appears in tho con
gressional directory. "A pilot may
think he knows the river on the down
trip, but when he comes up the next
week he has to learn shoals and snags
and set of ourreut all over again. I
met a man not long ago whom I hadn't
seen for two . years. I. knew him
slightly, and I had met his wife onoe
or twice. He invited me to dine with
him, and I went. My memory for
faces is not good, but I thought the,
wife looked younger than I recalled
her. After dinner I said to the man:
' " 'Your wife positively looks ten
years younger than she did when I
last saw her.'
He smiled in an odd way.
"She ib,* he said.
"I took, it for idle flattery, but it
wasn't, it was fact. Tho man had
been divorced and remarried since I
had seen them last." .

Know Y?ur Business.
How many retail merchants iu the
South are really doing this? Do you
koep posted as to tho market? Do you
keep posted as to your own business?
There arc quite a number of good
trado papers which will help you to
keep posted on the market condition?
in a general way. Thon you must
give some time and attention to find*
ing out tho market on the particular
Hue of goods you are handling. This
you can do without any great effort
and it certainly is worth the time.
You must buy goods right these days
of close competition if you are going
to make the success o! your business
you should. Every retail dealer should
1 tako at least one trado journal and
read it closely. Note the following
from a trade journal:
And again how many dealers really
know their own business? Havo you
got it systematized so you can tell
oaoh day ju,st what you are doing?
Not guessing at it but knowing. An
drew Carnegie, it is said, spent $S0,
000,000 annually when ho was actively
eugaged in business to know at any
and all times just what he v :\s doing.
Results show that it was worth it to
him. Can you not afford to spend
some money to know tho same things
about your business?
How did your business of yesterday
compare-with tho business of the day
.before? Tho business of this month
with same month last year? The
business of this year up Lo the pres
ent timo compared with last year for
the same period? How much is it
costing you per month or per $1,000
gross sales to oonduot your business?
How much is your Ions on bad dob tu?
These am*, hundreds of other questions
can always be answered promptly if
you havo your business properly sys
tematized.
You may say that to do those things
will take moro timo than you oan
spare. You can well afford to get the
extra help necessary to do this. In
this couneotion it is well to state
right here that a great many business
men load themselves down with*details
so that thoy do not have any timo for
anything ol.se. Get clerks to look af
ter the detail part of it. Give your
timo and thoughts to the real conduct
! of your business. No business ever
j made muoh of a success unless there
was someone at tho head of it to
think*.
The first of the year is always a
time for changes. If you have boon
vOQu?vti?g your business in a loose,
unsatisfactory way, start in with the
new year to run it right. Give it
plenty of thought and work. If you
will do this for ono year the results
will 'ourpriso even yourself.?Carolina

properly declined to surrender the formula for making
the remedy unless a sufficient amount of paid-up stock

Foerg himself, in a limited way, made and sold it for
twenty years before bis death. By his will he left the
