The stenographer is the only wo- man in existence who can be dictatads to for any 'length of time without causing bloodshed. This is why so many business men whq are not able to even dictate how th® head of let- tuce shall be served at home hire blonde stenographers and throw rude ungrammatical remarks at them for hours at a time, Sd Stenographers are not employed for their good. looks,.as is popularly supposed; but for their ability to translata the thoughts of an employ- er who is not able to express himself with -a fountain pen. When we look over our great country and see the large number of prosperous business men who capnot spell the simplest word without closing both eyes and breathing hard, we see how neces- sar it is to have trained, agile sieno- graphers who can grab a few loose, rambling thoughts from a vacant mind and convert them inte plain, two-ply English, The stenographer is subject to many bitter experiences and heavy trials. One of these is-the absent. minded distater, who starts-a long, serpentine sentence, breaks off in the middle to think about sométhipg else, and then demands that the last the Government, or the patriotic funds, with regard to money, But ijt war, should. be impressed upon the Gov-|- The party. which behind ernment "that while the people are this: is not satisfied to pat ina ny- ready to give generously they are| Merously-signed petition in support suspicious as to the road thé money, | of the request. = They are lobbying or part of it, is travelling."
