The Western Plowman very
truly remarks. Now that ladies are
so generally employed as stenogra
phers, type-setters, and typewriter
operators, the columns of newspa
pers are burdened with coarse at
tempts at humor, in which the
pretty amanuensis and her alleged
flirtations with the business man
are the inspiring theme. Perhaps
these jokes, on account of their in
sipidity, are harmless, aud do not
deserve the dignity of a remon
strance, but nevertheless, we enter
our protest against any attempt to
place in a ridiculous or improper
light the honest and worthy occu
pation of a woman. All honor to
the girl who has the energy and
pluck and determination to qual
ify herself to be self-sustaining and
make herself useful in the great
world of business, and blighting,
withering, blasting shame be his
portion who would place the slight
est straw in her way. There are
enough actual follies, weaknesses
and foibles of men to laugh about
without making innocent women
the subject of ridicule by making
them figure in incidents entirely
the product of an .impure
ination. The shafts of ridicule
should be aimed only at those who
deserve punishment, and there are
enough of this class, God knows;
and wit and humor lose their charm
when indulged in at the expense of
anything that is good and useful,
A woman’s reputation is too del
icate to be roughly handled, and
any light treatment of her ocoupa *
timi injures Her who is identified
with it,
A rumor has reached Washington
that the arbitrators in the Behring
Sea controversy between the Unit

March last arguing in the case, had
