Women Who Do
Marcia Willis Campbeii Writes
Appreciatively of Elizabeth Cath
erine Morris, John Mitchell's
"Right Hand Man" and Secretary
The person who knows more alxnit
the affairs of the United Mine Workers
of America than any other Individual
except Its president, John Mitchell, Is
a girl. She Is Miss Elizabeth Catherine
Morris, twenty-four years old. Presi
dent Mitchell's secretary. It Is now
the custom for presidents of great cor
porations and organisations to have a
woman private secretary to answer
outsiders' questions or refuse to an
swer them, as-the case may be, and to
receive visitors and keep off bores.
Women- secretaries are believed to be
more tactful than men.
Mlm Morris haa more than Justified
the good business reputation of the
woman private secretary. She baa
thrown herself heart and soul Into the
cause of the miners and knows a large
proportion of them personally. When
ELIZABETH CATHERINE MOItRIS.
In the great 1902 strike it became nec
essary for the paid officers of the Mine
Workers' union to reduce their salaries
In order to help the strikers Miss Mor
jris of her owu accord cut hers out alto
gether, asking to have ouly food and
lodging till the stress was relieved.
She became secretary to John Mitchell
in 1899, being then just out of business
college in Indianapolis, where she was
born and brought up. Travel, hard
work, going without food and sleep In
particularly critical times are Yamillar
experiences to Miss Morris, but she al
ways undergoes them cheerfully. Some
times she writes 300 letters a day.
| Helen Keller. |
That wonderful blind, deaf and dumb
girl, Helen Keller, who nevertheless
has achieved an education at Kadcliffe
college, Is now lecturing through the
country In the Interest of manual train
ing and mental development for the
blind. Miss Keller herself is the most
remarkable living example of tirhat In
tellectual training can do for those
shut out from gaining information
through either hearing or seeing. She
can talk so as to be beard and under
stood by all In an ordinary room,
though when she lectures in a large
ball her remarks are usually repeated
by some one in a louder voice than
hers. She pleads for industrial and
professional training for blind people.
The Strange Career of Eugene
Follette.
Ten years ago a good looking, quiet
young man appeared among the trap
pers, hunters and woodchoppers of
the Hudson bay district of Canada.
He said his name was Eugene Follette.
Soon Eugene Follette became known
as a crack shot and as one of the best
woodcutters and log rollers in the
Hudson bay region. He trapped and
shot fur bearing animals and sold
their pelts to the Hudson Bay company
and generally led the life of a woods
man. His associates noticed, however,
that be hated whisky and never swore.
One day Eugene Follette shot a
panther. He threw the creature's
