The WeeKly Panorama.

Ejcperl at 11.

A Maine young woman has just set an example of what can be done even by a girl when she so wishes. She is

now not quite 13 years c Id. Her father is employed in handl ng baggage at a railroad station at Biddeford, Me., and while visiting him there she became attracted by the telegraph instruments in the station. Securing per-

mission from the agent she visited the station every evening after school and spent her spare hours in studying telegraphy. When she was 11 years old she was able to report trains and read ordinary messages. Last summer, during the school vacation, she was given charge of the telegraph office at Saco, Me. There she served as both manager and operator, and she did her work so well that the superintendent of the line has promised her a more important appointment when the grammar school which she is attending closes in June.
