OVERDRAWN ACCOUNTS.
OLD FATHER TIME AS THE CASHIER oF
AGRE4T BANK. '
, [
Old Time nab as cashier behind the
window of a bank Where all men must do
business. A long line of customers, too,
vast to count, came, each with his check
in hand, to the witiket for his cash. I
steed and watched' the scene for hours,
till lit came my owe turn to ;place my
check under Father Time's ' gray and
-
ancient scrutin . i
A well dresset man, with confident
sire with N hard, resolute •face and yet
lips bitten as if with pain, threw in his
cheek.
• " Your account is overdrawn," said
Time. I told your friend se yesterday
who presented a check of yours.,"
" What ? That's why I canter myeelf.
Oveidrawn ! I- should have twenty
years here yet to draw on ?" I exclaimed
the [ excited gentleman, grewing pale
with every word.
" How old do you reckon , yourself ?"
askea Cashier Time.
"Why, only fifty-five. ;And three
score-yearceandeten is the depoait to be
gin with."
"See,"said Time, thrusting a great
bookiunder the poor man's eyes. "In
1854 you, being then nineteen years of
age, drew three years in one. The next
yea.reand the next, and the next you
drew three years in one. You. squand-
ered hem in dissipation. You drank
them up. As Cleopatra, the Egyptian
queen, dissolved pearls in a glass of wine
and drank -the costliest banquet cup
that opulent vanity had ever seen, so,
you drank up the years between nine-
teen and twenty-three. You threw
away days and nights as a king in old
times threw coin to the rabble. When
by the calender you were aged twenty-
five,by. my strict and accurate books you
*ere thirty-five, and beginning to grow
old." [
"Very well," begun the trembling
figure in reply, " but I reorganized
after that. Ten years lost I Veen re-
formed.
"True. But in 1874 your drew days
and months very fast agaie. For the
sake of being rich you , squandered
.strength like a spendthrift. You crowd-
ed three weeks into one for along while.
In ten years you lived out twenty; did
the work of twenty, the worry the fight-
ing, the litigation, the travel, the
greedy sins of twenty years. You have
gotten your wealth. You have gained
the whole world and lost your life.
Whether you have lost your soul or not
is not for me to say. God knows that.
This bank does no business in •eternity.
The account is over drawn, sir. Step
aside, old man of fifty-five,customers are
Waiting."
And while I looked the servants of the
bank carne in—Death, Dust and forget-
fulness—and carried him out. . [
Then came a haggard wretch whose
name indorsed upon the back of a check
read " A Suicide," He falthred on.
"1 auppose this check is worthless.
There is not another day for me."
"On the contrary, there are yet forty
years, that you can draw against : happy
lustful years, spent for man's good and
God's praise."
"1 cloubt-it. There rrtuet be some mis-
take."
"Not so. What shall I do with these
years if you will not take them? , No
other man can use them; yet thousands
would be glad of them, begging so piti-
fully. And there are so rna.nY thouaands -
of unclaimed years, filled up within my
vaultsI. They shall be a.dcled to eternity
again when I, Old Time, go out of busi- '
nese. Yet eternity ia TAO richer for them.
Take your years and be happy in them
as God intended."
But the foolish heart declined ; and I
saw the three servant's come in and
carry him out as they had Old Averice,
before.
Then I saw tremendous checks paid
out to Malice, Revenge, Jealotisy, Evil
Imaginations, Bad Thoughts, Discon-
tent. Old rime could not help speaking
his warning, and though it was none of
his business, he said:
" Gentlemen, nothing draws such
he-avy drafts on a man's deposits of years
of health and strength, as unwholesense
thoughts. They are more expens ive than
unwholesome deeds if possible. Look
out that you. do not overdraw your ac-
counts."
Then I saw a young man at the win-
dow. Time asked:
"How shall you have it, 81-r? In large
bills or entail ?'
In large, if you please. Let me live
a year in a day. A year of pleasure
erowded into one wild day! The good
things of forty must be had and used up
at twenty. I cannot wait." ,
And Old Time smiled with a' sardonic
curl of the. lip as he observed' how the
young fool Was making the same misteke
that the old fool a few steps before had
made. But the check was cashed in the
big bills.
1 sew, too, as I stood there, how men
overdrew their accounts of Good Repu•
eatien. A man may, it seems, build up
a reputatieat by long and faithful years
vrhich will withstand a good many
blunders ; he may check against it with
careless words and thoughtless deeds for
some time before that stored good repu-
tation is wasted. On the who, the
better part of the comnaunity would.
rather believe good of one of their fore -
'nest feliew-eltizens than evil ; it is etot
pleasant to see an old friend fall ; and
mislay people are so related socielly and
commercially with this man of A leading
position that his ruin would inflict a less
Oi them. Hence they keep hiei account
good at the Issatic over which Time pre-
sides; they do it by excuses; lending
their cettatenance to blundering epend-
thrift and hope for a change. But at
last he who blundere beyond a certain
peint, who will not learn wisdom, ie
abaudoned by his friend. Old Time,
the cashier. then meete him et the win-
dow with a aharp refusal.
" Veer account is overdrawn, sir.
-Yeller° bankrupt. Men will ne loager
excuse you, nor will they trust you.
You, are written down a fool." I
And I observed that three strange
servants came in to carry him out—
namely, Hunger, Contempt and De-
spair..
I saw, too, how men and women of
brilliant gifts overdrew their accounts.
The young actor, who bade fair to stand
at the head of his profession hefore he
was five -and -thirty, counted to highly
upon the patience of an admiring public
and supposed they would "overlook his
drunkenness and carousals indefinitely.
So the people did for a time. But when
he had disappointed them night after
aight, when he neglected his atudy and
Minn
'
relied on his i-,", genius " and an cession -
al " spurt " el eplendid work t3 make
up, he passechthe point of en uremia.
Time at his window dishon4ired his
draft. The people spat him ou There
were younger cleaner, more co scienti-
ous men to be had. He was ru ned.
t So was reined the great a n–getreas
who supposed the world could jnot get
along without her voice. It was indeed
a wonderful voice. But she overdrew
-her account , she . flagrantly vio ated the
proprieties of mai; she undermined so-
ciety by er example. The world
turned thfi i da new voice. God is ever
ii:
raisingnp ew workmen with gifts as
grand as t14 old. If not so grand the
better aense of the world reselves to
prefer to adopt the new instead ' of the
old which has become unclean.
And so I look on women who 'counted
too much on their beauty, and ability to
charm, neglecting to be true; oe youth
who reckoped too highly their, standing
in the comMunity as children of "old
families" et on education, outward cul-
ture, or teehnical skill. " We can do a
great many things that other i people
could not; and we shall be tolerated."
Quite possible up to a certain L point.
Clerks and master -workmen ther were
who were "sure their services, could
never be dispensed with, for who, could
be found who would take their places ?"
But there is always the risk of an over-
drawn account soon; the eurety of it at
last. 1
1 then took my place at the Window
with prayerful care. Heaven grant me
to watch well my books, that the ac-
count be not overdrawn, neither in this
world nor the next.—Harkley Harker,
in N. Y.- Weekly. ,
WOMEN WAGE-EARNRS
IN DEN VER, COLORADO.'
From the Denver Republican. I
State Labor Commissioner Bodine and
his force have been engaged for several
months in co'mpiling statistics relative
to workingmen and workieg girls of
Denver, preseuts some interesting
figures and diecussee the deplorable con-
dition of wages paid to working women,
not only in Denver but elsewhere in
this Country.

29; Soap factories, 15.; Other factories,
etc., 80; all other occupations net other-
wise enumerated, 100.
Total number of female wage earners
in Denver 3,354.
Unemployed at present, 800.
"The working women of Denver re-
ceive the following schedule of weekly
wages, including lowest and highest
average: Milliners and trizniners, $8 to
$25; laundresses, $5 to 510 ; shirt.
makers, 56 to $10; dressmakers, 57 to
515; typewriters, 58, to $15; factory
girls, 52 50 to 57; saleswomen and
clerks, 55 to $12 ; tobacco strippers,
53.50 to 58; domestics, $4 to 510 and.
board ; copyists and office clerks, 55 to
515; cash girls, 52.50; chambermaids, -
$3.50 to $4 and board; seamstresses,
53.50 to $9 ; cashiers, 54 to $10; tele-
graph operators, $8 to 515; bookkeep-
ers, 57 to 515; supernumeraries, 56;
reporters, 515 to 520; models, 515;
confectionery workers, $4 to 56; dress-
makers (foreladies), 518 to 525.
"School -teachers (graded school) re-
ceived an average of $62.78 per month
during 1890, a decrease of 72 cents per
month over the corresponding period for
1889. In ungraded schools the average
monthly salary is $44.48.
"In the mercantile establishments of
Denver, including all retail stores, there
are 837 women and girls employed. The
average hour of employment are nine
and ten with the exception of Saturdays,
when the at res are kept open later in
the evening. Daniels & Fisher employ
the largest n Leber of female wage-earn-
ers in the cit . They have 210. Joslin
& Co. emplo 125, and the •Namara
a.
Dry Goods C mpany 135," said ne ccirn- '
rnissioner as • scanned his list. \One
firm has rece tly adopted the insect •I
closing at 1 'clock on Satuedays, ev n
at a sacrifice finanoially. This firm also
gives its 'amp eyes twe weeks vacation
with pay .aeI, year. A fair average
paid to sales omen and clerks in mer-
cantile purse te is 516 per week. To
earn this the must put i het less than
nine hours pr day, and in some in-
stances tea • nd eleven. In point of
service, one •rat kas , en woman that
has been wit them nine years and an-
other eight y ars. Save 1 of the lead-
ing eatablis ments hay women ' em-
ployes who have stood behind their
counters fro three to se en years, and
the highest lacy the ave ever res
ceived is 58 t 510 per w k.
"I found that the rag est made by
this deps.rtm nt, for all merehante to
comply with he etate la and furnish
seats for fern la employe , and permit
occupancy of the same wh n not bthily
engaged, has beep heede ," said Mt.
Bodine. ". he humanity of merchants
in this respec is better in Denver1 han
elsewhere, lthough t re are two
firms hers th t I have got n a list for
close attenti' n.
"These ex eptions furnisir seats for
the girls, bu give the t understand
that they wi 1 be discharg d if they sit
down. A m n that issues such &t in-
human order is mean enou h to pas ure
a goat on hi grandmother $ grave,1 nd
when I get tifficient evi ence I lwill

"When he public r alizes shat
small wages he girls in st res and Ise -
where receiv and then compare the oat
of living in enver, it will create g ne-
ral interest arl sympathy. For iessta ce, s
• 4.'4.:
most of the girls live a long distance
from the establishmekits at which they
are employed. •
‘` The street oars And cable cars are
nehessarily, at times, patronized by
them, particularly in inclement weather.
Deduct car fare from 55 per week, pay
living expensee mid rent, then what is
there left for clothes ?
" Many of the girls live at home with
their parents and can stand it, but there
are meny more less fortunate, whose
wages constitute their sole revenue far a
livelihood.
"Most of the firms dompel all em-
ployee, male or female, to pass through
one exit of the store when their day's
work is completed. Two representa-
tives of the firm's interest stand like
sentinels at the door and scan every man,
woman and child employe closely, as
they go out. The object of this,so I am
told, is to see whether the employes are
afflicted with kleptomania, and that
when they leave the store that no goods
are smuggled. At first this sort of
scrutiny is embarrassing to an honest,
modest woman or man, but after a few
weeks the 'rule,' as it is called, is looked
e daily
he files
others,
at the
upon as merely one spot in t
memory of the 'working girl, 6,9
out of the store with hundreds of
beneath the argus-eyed inspector
door. 1
"One of the best paid braeshes of
feminine labor, but one upon which
some women look with social pr judice,
is domestic labor. A good cook, dining
room gill or chemberniaid is ge erally
in demand. The wages for this lassifi-
cation rangefrom 520 to 540 per 1 onth,
with board and lodging. The e is a
entail army of domestics iie Deny r, and
a thoroughly competent girl go erally
has permenent employment at good
wages.
" Perhaps' it will be interest ng to
know that Denver possesses several wage
earners among women who have some-
what novel means of livelihood," said
the commissioner, with a smile. "For
instance, there is one who is a atri-
menial broker, who has reliev d the
proverbial Cupidnf his archery prac•
tice. Then there is one real estate
agelit, and a good one, too. Four oung
'ladies of this city make a living ' as
model—two in art and two in mi linery
establishments.
"The latter two are seemingly sales-
ladies, but in fact are used simply to
try toques and bonnets upon. They are
pretty girls, have fine heads, an bon-
nets invariably enrapture cue omen;
after the models try them on. Seven
women in thia city earn geed sale les as
detectives and spotters. I am n t in a
position to betray confidence, or I would
give names. Another lady has good
knowledge of law and will soon swing
her shingle to the breeze. Teaching the
young idea how to shoot is soteewhat
lucrative and the 122 school teachers re-
ceive fairly good salaries. The e has
been a decrease, however, in this espect
in late years.
"There is a bevy of young women in
this city who make a living -Is.king
moccasins, Indian •souvenirs anli bead
I
work. Music teaching is a favorite and
easy occupation. There is also about a
score of girls who make a living as local
supernumeraries in operas and theatrical
attractions. Troupes that vitit the
city, particularly those with ballets, ad-
vertise for a corps of 'supers' and these
girls invariably respond. They receive
51 a performance for extsosing their
shapely limbs encased in tights, There
are seven chiropodists in Denver who
all make a good living. Denver also has
a police matron, Mrs. Likens, who does
a great deal of good for unfortunate
women and girls that come under her
eupervision.
"The factory girls are among the poor-
est paid, in general. Some of these
worker t onIy get 40 cents a day. The
average runs about $4 to 55, per week,
apd they work from nine t eleven
hours. Laundry girls, as a r le, are
treated with some consideration by em-
ployers, but I have found onesex eption,
in particular, that needs a rerne y. In
the, laundry ,I- have reference to, the
,girls average $5 per week, ai4 I have
positive knowledge that on soth eccas-
ions they are worked fourteen and six-
teen hours a day. The avera e day's
work there isnever less than teni hours,
and one girl was found wheae health
had been completely impaitedeby the
treatment she received, .In another
laundry, where they treated their em-
pleyes decently, my special agent found
one girl who had been in the firm's em -
play for nine years. The average wages
paid to laundry girls is from 55 to 58 per
week. There are about 105 woman in
Denver who take in washing and iron-
ing individually. They receive an aver-
age remuneration of 60 cents per dozen
—in many cases less. Many o these
woman support husbands. Th hus-
bands are divided into three cla sifica-
hone, namely, unemployed, sick, and
drunkards. One woman, living ix a tent
down in the bottoms, supports arj indo-
lent husband and four children w th her
washboard induetry. There are [ many
eittilar cases. I also foun , I down
the ,
among e colony of tents, ti reia girls,
living together, who received s Gill small
salaries in the establiehmen s [where
they worked, that they could n t afford
to pay room rect. They pref rred vir-
tue and. simplicity to other opportunit-
ies. ,
"It is dearly evident to anytme who
will review the subject that email wages
paid to young girls, in sense instancee
barely sufficient to live upon,are liable to
put virtue to a severe test, espeeially
when a girl relies wholly upon 54 *r 55
per week for her livelihood and clothes.
There are many men in this city', who
are eager to seize upon such oppor-
tunities, and there is but little doubt
that they have succeeded in leading tore
than one working girl astray," continu-
ed Sir. Bodine. "It is a very se ious
subject. I am at work now on a cl e to
a small 'ring 'of men in this city •he,
it is alleged; employ a procurese for just
such purposes. I shall make every
possible effort to locate the parties and
then some one will ' run up agai st a
shower of state criminal warrants.
" The causee of this condition of low
wages for women and girls are m ny.
In the first place many females come te-
Denver for their health, and whenever
a p,osition is open they compete for it
and name very low salaries. Merchants
naturallytake advantage of the opportun
ity to economize on expenses. Another
prime cause is the ambition' of girls who
live at home with their parents, to earn
'pin money.' They therefore impure
positions at small salaries, ande as they
are not cotnpelled to pay board the Y de-
prive many working girls who are de -
