What a New Xoik i:e|Mti'lei' I omul Out on His Strange Assinninent. It was Sunday evening, about !t by the clock, and the usual calm of that one night in ttie week brood' d over The Press office. A stranger entered. Hesitatingly he thrust forth a little pack of grimy cards written on with ink and rapidly said: “< ientlemen, Hm a writer of jokes. I've got some here I want to sell. I'm desperately bard tip. It's a horrible”— The little man stopi>ed short. “Are you a professional jo—ah—hu morist?" asked a reporter. “Yes, sir,” said the stranger. “Atany rate, I was a 111011th ago. Now I don't know what I am.” He spoke the last sentence with a half groan. Then t • visitor continued: “Seven years ago I was employed as a railway clerk. I ad a little turn for writing ‘funny’ paragraphs. So 1 left railroad ing. I've written jokes and paragraphs and verses for nearly every paper there is in town. Sometimes i made ssrii) a week and sometimes double that amount. Hut since the new year began 1 haven't earned a $10 hill. 1 have a wife. Well, we've been pretty nigh starvation, and the landlady wanted to put us out for not paying our rent only ye.-t rday. Oh. Lord, this is what I've come t"! Yes, yes; 1 saw that you gentlemen Junked at my shirt. 1 know my degradation, ami vou needn't be afraid of hurting Inx ti cl ing-. Thde aren't enough b it to Ik* hurt." The reporter s'-nt him to the i t: lit city editor. That gentlemen di\T I into his poi k<T and produced a shilling half dol lar. The entire staff contribut' d, and a small amount of money was realized. The reporter who had first talk'-d to the stranger was a.-signed to go up to the lit tle man's home and do wiiat was best wit ii tlie money. As if dazed, tie* man in tin- ilumicl shirt followed him. A short walk brought them to his home. Strewn over the sidewalk lay the .-cant household goods of the tainily of two. Tiie reporter interviewed the land lady, while the little man sat down in • one of ins own chairs outside witli a blank lyok on ids lace. • "That couple." tin* burly landlady \va> meanwhile saying. “Why. they're the most xvorihless lot around. They haven't paid for a month, and tonight 1 just put their tilings out in tin* street. The wife? (ui, sin was tukt n sick or something, and they carried her to tin* hospital in an ambulance, ’ To the hospital the reporter rushed, leaving the husband still sitting in a chair on the walk. The house surgeon came to t ho door. “This ease from ITi J) — street?" he a-ked. “Dead; died 10 minutes ago. Cause malnutrition and lack of rare, together with exposure. In plain English,” cheerfully explained the doctor, "that is starvation. Look at tin* book it y<ni like. ’ Then the reporter broke the news to tin' bereaved husband and returned to the office. New York Press. Tl»** IMonerre. K<> Hindi has 1h*«*ii h»ar«l of Mary Woll.-toneeraft as a herald of woman's equality that most people liaxe forgotten the name of Mary Astell, a contempo rary of Defoe’s, who lived a hundred years before Mary Woll-toueeraft, and who was the lirst woman who pleaded for “woman's equality of education and social position.” If it were a daring thing 1" do in the eighteenth century, it was surely a much more d:uing tiling to do in the seventeenth, and, though Mary Astell maybe said to lum* "hedged" a little under tin* wrath of her contem poraries. yet to her is tin* credit of hav ing hcen the first to urge the necessity of giving woman tiie benefits of a thor ough education. Other pioneers there have been at a later date who have suf fered slander and persecution in tin* woman's cause, and whose work has heen ignored and ~et aside Ny tin* more eoisi eroxvit who now enjoy the heiietits which t iie pioneers' sufferings purchased. —-Humanitarian.
