Li n Ohio Girl Who Paints Signs.

She is not afraid of scaffold or ladder and will scale a rope ladder up a mountain side and will work there at her trade for hours At a time if her contract calls for it. She is fearless in that way,.and enjoys her work to a great extent. She engaged with a tobacco company several days ago and entered upon her con-

tract, when, with rule„ .pencil, brushes and bucket, she assumed command of the side of a brick building at the corner of Prospect and Hickox streets and commenced her work. It was a funny sight, and during the day hundreds of people stopped and discussed her situation. She gave the onlookers not the slightest attention, but continued her work in a purely businesslike manner until 5:30 o'clock, when she surveyed the result of her day’s labor and made readj’ to return to her hotel— Her working costume consists of a serviceable skirt, a jumper of blue cloth and a cap which she manages to pull well down over her face in onier to keep off sunburn. Her mittens conceal a pair of dainty hands and feet which are' incased in patent leather boots corespond in neatness. Miss Waymack began upon her sign painting career more than three years ago and has traveled over a great deal of tlie'western country with her uncle, who is also a sign painter.
