* 3lt might easily happen that his popularity rested upon an up

This does not prevent exceptions to the rule; and at bottom

ROMANCE OUTDONE BY SCIENCE
Captain Marryat and his fellow writers of the sea were out-
I -.™* when the steamer Florida sank the.Republic. ScTence proved
Itself the greatest romancer of them all. Reality surpassed the
Imaginative powers .of „' man. . :..--'^<::.'.'■£■■■ '. ..
jf^lFA* wounded leviathan was slowly dying, and on its decks were
fathered that most precious cargo, human beings. Above and about
"them hung an impenetrable fog, the only outlet from which seem
ed to be the insatiable sea, whose lips, curling in hunger, played
•round i its victims with ; expectant caresses. , . s .^_ „.. |J-^-:yr^ .Z
|J|^,"But through the gray mist the forces of nature were hurrying
;a Voice, Inaudible in its passage*-but laden with a meaning as great
as sound could ' utter. To the steamship Baltic . the source of the
'voice was as Invisible as when God spake to the prophet; the hand
lat the key on the Republic apparently as mysterious as that which
writ on the wall of the palace at Babylon. . •
P^fA; few staccato sounds, and great liners, hundreds of miles
|£way, turned from their courses, boats of every description put out
prom shore, and within a few hours loomed :up in the fog beside the
;stricken ship, the saviors of hundreds of human souls. v.
fflpSf At last the leviathan turned and dived beneath the swirling
iwaters, which roared their welcome, but the creatures of the sea
Ithat now dart through its corridors find nothing on which to ply
Chair gruesome trade. ■ ... ... . : -.; ', ; '■ ■•

My wife told me not to stay out
late last night.
I told her I wouldn't, because
they were closing the saloons
earlier.
But somehow I got locked in,
and so I called up my home to
get called down.
That is the only way I ever
could talk back to my wife.
But she wasn't satisfied. She
wanted me to ride back to her
or walk back to her. When I just
talk back to her she can't stroke
my hair.
That's where I have the advan
tage over my wife. I can stroke
her hair when she is miles away.
She doesn't always take it with
her.
Did you ever have a wife who
made her own millinery and saved
the bills? I have. She makes all
her own millinery and saves the
bills for me to pay.
She made a hat which she said
was a dream, and asked me to
suggest a name for it. I suggest
ed "Welsh rarebit."
She didn't agree with that, or
rather, the Welsh rarebit didn't
agree with her. She said it was

Nobody knows why it Is a mTwn
room hat unless it is that^ the
style sprang up in a night, j But
I'd call a hat of that style a spring
hat.
I came home tired one night and
she'd left the hat on the floor. I
thought it was one of those cosy
corners, and curled up in it so I
could get up early.
I did. Shed left some hatpins
In it, and I got up right away.
You bet that made me sore, and
I pulled out.
That is to say, I pulled out the
hatpins.
If I hadn't I'd be wearing her
hat yet; and it didn't fit me there,
anyhow.
"Oh, dear,' said my wife, "have
you got the wires all out of

daughter have arrived at the Uni

• Journeying the entire distance in
the saddle. The distance is ap

horses were used, but they found

When they were Informed that

AMERICAN WOMEN WHO WORK
NO. O—THE TRAINED NURSE.
By I'iis.ill.i Prim.
A most attractive and becoming
role of professional women belongs
to the trained nurse.
In fiction she is portrayed as a
ministering angel to whom sol
diers, millionaires and fever pa
tients alike lose their hearts. In
reality she leads the ranks of pro
fessional and business women in
the matter of advantageous mar
riages.
This state of affairs is neither
mysterious nor accidental. Woman
is seen at her best as she goes
about her task of soothing pain.
Her gentle and endearing qualities
are to the fore, and if the patient
be of the masculine persuasion he
readily invests her personality
with a halo.
Economically considered the
trained nurse is one of the most
independent of women who work
for a living. There is better pay
in her profession than in any
other open to women without capi
tal.
Th? three-year period of exact
ing service in the hospital training
school is naturally a trying and
testing experience. But the rigor
of the struggle is lessened by the
cheering certainty that liberal re
wards are at the end of a very
straight and narrow path.
A graduate from the training
school must be a first-class profes
sional nurse. That's why she gets
her diploma. Her standard wage
is $25 a week, and necessarily in
cludes lodging, board and laun
dry. If she becomes a skilled spe
cialist, her services rapidly Jn
crease in earning value.
The girl who would become a
nurse should look to her qualifi
cations. She should be physically
and nervously strong, and immac
ulately neat about her person.
She will also have need of uner-l
ring tact and patience.
Generally Bpeaktng, the women
who would make the best mothers
also make the best nurses. The
maternal Instinct in a woman's
heart will Impart a gentleness of
touch and manner no skill can ap
proach.
Before the civil war there was
not a single uniformed or educat
ed nurse In the country. Today
there are approximately 200,000
trained nurses In the United
States.
