We lift oar voice against this grow?

of dory; awl with very Knie hope
of changing the present status of
aflaire. Why we should express an
idea by far-fetched, metaphorical, cir
eumloctuory; idiomatic (not to say
idiotic) phrases, rather than in sim?
ple, straightforward English, nobody
can - understand. Slang bears the
same relaiww* to pore English as tue

?se ot Slang is worse Jhtde-ism than

eye-glasses, exaggerated fey high col?

upon the streets of oar American
eitles.

?That's what's the matter/ ?On your

this the glorious sunset glow of the
19th centnry, in the word 'mash/
The word 'mash' is closely associated
n the writer's mind with pictures
-j??ica>, to say the least, are not
footie. Visions of rotten apples,
arad, noses after drunken brawls,
8&hda of beer ia the old-fashioned
still-hosse, indescribable mixtures of
disreputable origin, masses of braised
Ingers, and wicked hammers, come
ioating through memory's chambers ;
bot they fed ne counterpart in this
modern 'mash.* Mr. Smith sees Miss
Brown; she is beautiful, fascinating,
bewitching; talks everything from
'Cosmos1 and protoplasm up to the
weather, with a familiarity which
would abash Darwin or Huxley; is
afflicted with a wealthy father; in
.hort, the hours "By *on golden
wings/ day'after day his visits are
continued ; he feels the inexpressible
enchantment weaving its silken folds
around his heart; and how does
modern society speak of this holy
sentiment? Why thus; 'Have you
heard the news?' 'No, what?'

day brighter, even changes the mid?
night blackness into broad open day
light, ?sd she begins to feel as though
le il an indispensable animal. What
does society say? Why that 'Lize

fives apon a salary of eight dollars, a
month, and the expectation of a
mustache, talks more of making
<mashes' on unsuspecting female
hearts than he does of politics. It is
forthermore stated by thc little birds
which are sometimes wicked enough
to eaves-drop the sanctum sanctorum
of the fairest maiden who basks in
the beams of the first blush of

WORKING WOMEN.
Discouraging Words for Those Who Are

To one who has overlived in Wash>

fine br?gh$w$ happiest, most delightful
."pl^'?itp?rth, writes a Kentucky wo
??9.irrthe Louisville Cowrier-JournaL
Offnerem Kentucky many a young girl
whose homely life- seems- monotonous
: thinks could she* ooiy get a foothold
there how happy she would be. To
such and to all women who are thirst?
ing after office I would love to sive a
word of counsel. It is true that Wash?
ington is? ene of the most beautiful cities
m the world. Its grand and graceful
buildings, its wide avenues, its beautiful
parks, its exquisitely kept walks, the
rest system of street-cars in the "country,
tile constant change. as one rides or
walks? make it a lovely dwelling place
and tie best pince to educate the eye I
have ever seen er jead of, but there is a
dark side of life the re that is little known
or thought of Irv those who have never
been there, and to one whose heart is
alive with sympathy for humanity; and
especially for working womens, it brings
heartaches and real sorrow.
It is a city overcrowded with those
seeking work, young and old, men and
women, all waiting, striving; hoping,
many fer the same place-a place that
only eoe tao SU. 1 have seen wemen
with Ktt?o children thus wait I have
now one in iny memory-a widow with
ai child She had been promised a
place long months before. When I
saw her something had occurred to re?
new her hope. She was bright and
hopefuL though personally irail-look
ing-hqogry -looking. I may truly say.
She was poorly-dad-thc first time I
saw her-one of the bitterest days of
winter, with clothing so scant as.to
make one pity the:frait body it covered.
Time passed on; from week to week she
grew more importunate; the efforts
made for her, earnestly and faithfully,
bore no fruit; hope seemed to die from
her heart, and she grew more weary,
hungry, sorrowfuHuoking, and when ?
saw her last she reminded me of the
figure in the "Court of Death" that rep?
resents hunger and want
Another ? remember, too-a middle
aged, unmarried woman-a woman of
the best blood in Kentucky. Were I to
give her name it would be recognized
as belonging to a family, true and de?
voted Democrats, earnest and faithful
citizens, and a few short years ago pros?
perous and well-to-do- people. In the
wreck of the past all that was left her
and a widowed mother was a home?
stead. It was so shorn of the acres that
had belonged to it that it yielded no
support Having faith in herself and
her earnest purpose to support herself
and help that aged mother, she went to
Washington with the strongest backing
a woman could have. Before the meet?
ing of congress efforts were made for
her. and these were repeated with zeal
by warm friends. Finally, after many
weeks, a little place was promised. She
was happy beyond expression. Months
passed, during which'these efforts were
constantly renewed, until finally, after
four months, during which time this
brave woman had become almost wild,
a pitiful place in the printing bureau was
given her, where work was to be paid by
tho piece. From her own lips I heard
the result of it To get to her place of
work she had to walk either seventeen
or twenty-seven squares, or save a few
squares by riding on the street-cars,
rad that cost her to go and come 9$
cents per day. When she reached her
place of work, up steep flights of steps
ihe climbed amid odors that turned her
deathly sick before she fairly got to
ivork. Then, work as best she could,
iome days her earnings amounted to 50
>r 60 cents, often only 30 cents, and
this working from 9 a.m. sharp to 4 p.
tn., for no minute can be lost Kine
y dock is the hour, and one who is
tardy a few times is reprimanded, and
most likely dismissed. In a few weeks
this woman was taken ill, and had a
serious sickness, but ,her will was
rtronger than her health, and her
necessity great, and before fully re?
covered she went back. After a little
while, in a few days, if I -remember
right, she had to give up, and that was
the ead of her life as an officeholder,
though her friends, who were true as
steel, tried faithTullv to get her a little
place in a more healthful officer but they
failed, and she is now, I think, back itt
Kentucky.

How Gettysburg Was LtosU
General E. M. Law, of South Caro?
lina, writing in -the December Century
of his experiences at Gettysburg, tells of
a proposition which he made to General
Hood fdr an attack on the Union left,
and says: *i found General Hood on
the ridge where his line had been form?
ed, communicated to him the informa?
tion 1 had obtained, and pointed out
the ease with which a movement by the
right flank might be made. He coin?
cided fully in my views, but said that
his orders were positive to attack in
front as soon as the left of the corps
should get into position. I therefore
entered a formal protest against a direct
attack, on the grounds: 1. That the
great natural strength of the enemy's
position in our front rendered the result
?f a direct assault extremely uncertain.
2. That, even if successful, the victory
would be purchased at too great a sacri?
fice of life, anti our troops would be in
no condition to improve it S. That a
front attack was unnecessary,-the oc?
cupation of Round Top during tho
night by moving upon it from the south,
and the extension of our right wing
from that point across tho enemy's left
and rear, bein?; not only practicable,
but easy. 4. That such a movement
would compel a change of front on the
part of the enemy, tho abandonment of
his strong position on the heights, and
force him to attack us in position.
'.General Hood called up Captain
Hamilton, of his staff, and requested
me to repeat the protest to him, and the
grounds on which it was made. He
then directed Captain Hamilton to find
General Longstreet as quickly as pos?
sible and deliver the protest, and to say
to him that he (Hood) indorsed it fully.
Hamilton renie off at once, but in about
ten minutes returned, accompanied by
a staff-ofBcer of G?nerai Longstreet,
who said to General Hood, in my hear?
ing: "General Longstreet orders that
you begin thc attack at once.' Hood
turned to me and merely said, *Yon hear
the order?' I at once moved my brig?
ade to the assault I do not know
whether the protest ever reached Gen
en era! Lee. From the brief interval
that elapsed between the time it was
sent to General Longstreet and the re?
ceipt of the order to begin the attack. I
am inclined to think it did not. Gen?
eral Longstreet has since said that he
repeatedly advised against a front at?
tack and suggested ?"movement by our
riffht Hank. Ile may have thought,
after the rejection ot" this advice by
General Lee, that it was useless to press
the matter further.
"Just here thc battle of Gettysburg
was lost to the Confederate arms. It is
useless to speculate upon thc turn affairs
might h:ive taken if the Confederate
cavalry had been in communication
with the rest of the army, anti if Gen?
eral Stuart had kept General Lee in?
formed, as he should have done, of the
movements of thc Federal army. In
c onsidering thc causes of the Confeder?
ate failure on that particular field, we
must take the situation just as we find
it And the situation was as follows:
The advance of the two armies en?
countered each other on the 1st of July.
An engagement ensued in which the
Confederates were victorious. The
Federal troops retired through Gettys?
burg and took position aloug the .
? V
.heights east of the town-a position
which, if properly defended, was prac?
tically impregnable to a direct attack.
**?he whole matter then resolves itself
into this: General Lee failed at Gettys?
burg on the 2d and 3rd of July because
he made his attack precisely where his
enemy wanted him to make it and was
most fully prepared to receive it- Even
had be succeeded in driving the Federal
army from its strong position by a gen?
eral and simultaneous assault along the
whole front (which was the only pos?
sible chance of success in that direc?
tion), he would have found his army in
very much the same condition that
Pyrrhos fowad his wheo, after driving
the Romans from tbs field of 'Asculum,
he exclaimed, 'Another such victory,

Independent Journalism.
..if yon want to ace independent Jour?
nalism, you go into the country, the
mining districts especially/1 said the
young man between Jbe courses. 4*I
?as once a great friend of an editor in a
rather wild mining camp. I had an
idea Td like to be a reporter, so he
kindly gave me a eb anee. "This jour?
nal." said he, "is, above all, fearless
and independent. We don't care a darn
Car anybody; and so go ahead." I went
ahead. One day, bein? down-town, I
got in full head on the biggest sensation
the town had known for years. A cold
blooded murder with extraordinary pe?
culiarities of atrocity-altogether a, very
big thing. I was so early in the fray
that I took care of the murdered man,
shot by a notorious character, until he
lied. I wrote the affair up. I spread
myself on it I gave a pen picture of
the murderer anti a close and elaborate
account of the place-a public bouse
where the shooting had taken place. I
jravo all the names of everbody who
was within a mile of the occurrence. It
was a splendid story, and, flushed with '
imrjortaneev I marched in to the editor
with my .'copy." He took it and read
it, and be be^an marking whole sheets
oat of it. 'You see, my boy. Jim Buili
var did the shooting, and if they nab
him he bas several big revolver fellows
who will walk in, aud the trouble is
that they, don't give you time to argue,
rou getit, and there you are; so we'll
cut his name out and simply say a well
known citisen. Then you say that he
did it deliberately. That'll never da
I'll just put it in that it may have been
accident, because, of course, it may
have been, you know. I see you give
the names of the other men who were
there. Do you want to bring the whole
eang down on us in a body? Here,
i've made some little changes. You
take the copy to the business manager
and let him iook at i t '

doing? You give tho name of the sa
loon and the address! Don't yon" seo

He'll be mad. All those people you've
connected with this thing will be sure
to kick. Young man, you'll ruin this
paper.1
.? 'Well, what am I to do?'
Just say there was a shooting scrape
in town yesterday, and somebody, sup?
posed to be a notorious bummer, got
killed. He's dead. We can't help him.
Let us take care of the living.'

tractive reading for young people nt a low price.
The illustrations are copious and of a conspic?
uously high standard of excellence.

and desirable in juvenile literature.-Bonton
