The Granger's Ten Commandments

/. Thou shalt love the Grange with
all thy heart and with all thy soul, and
thou shalt love thy brother Grangers as
thyself. .r. -. .-f -tr.
III. Thou shalt not suffer the name of
thy Grange to be evil spoken of, but
shall severely chastise the wretch who
speaks of 1t with contempt.
III. Remember that Saturday is
Granger day. On it thou shalt set aside
thy hoe and rake and sewing machine,
and wash thyseIf, and appear before the
master in the Grange with smiles, and
hearty cheer. On the fourth week thou
shalt not appear empty-handed, but
shall surely bring a pair of ducks, o
turkey roasted with fire, a cake baked
in the oven, and pies and fruits in abun-
dance, for thy harvest feast So shalt
thou eat and be merry, and "freights
and fares" shall be remembered no
more.
". Honor thy master, and all who
sit in authority over thee, that the days
of the Grange may be long in the land
which Uncle Sam hath given thee.
v. Thou shalt not go to law.
VI. Thou shalt not burn thy straw
but shall surely stack it for thy cattle in
winter.
VII. Thou shalt not do business or
stick" Pay as thou goest, as much a.
in thee lieth.
VIII. Thou shalt support the Grangers
bank; for thus it becometh thee to full
fill the law Of business.
IN. Thou shalt by all means have thy
life insured in the Grangers' Life Insur
anee Company, that thy wife and little
ones may have friends when thou ar
cremated and gathered unto thy fathers
Y. Thou shalt have no middlemer
between thy ranch and Liverpool, tC
fatten on thy honest toll, but shai
surely charter thine own ships, and sci
thine own produce, and use thine Owl
brains. This is the last and great com
mandment. On this hang all the law
and the profits. And IL there be an!
others, they are these: Choke monopo
lies, break up rings, vote for homes
men, fear God, and make money. S,
shalt thou prosper; and sorrow and haru
times shall flee away.

Our Young Lady.

Our young lady of the last century
was an honorary member Of home and
society. She sat in my lady's boudoir,
while her future was arranged for her.
Age or marriage alone could place her
in the active walks of life.
This had its eompensations-but that
she was more useful, happier or safer
admits of doubt. new era dawns.
Nay woman do, has been the question
of the past. DO answers the present.
Doing proves ability. Her record for
the past twenty years shows a steady
progress in action.
In medicine she takes good position
and shows her fitness. In science she
presents a goOdly host Of patient work
ers. In art, too, her struggles are bring
ing honor to this and foreign lands.
The old seats of learning yield and
their gates sopen-Oxford and Cambridge
bid her enter. Pulpit, press and plat
form make room for her, finding work
| in each, showing her ability to do it.
Her right may not be disputed.
In the schOol-room, behind the desk,
or wherever faithfulness in detail is re-
quired, she is found equal to the burden.
/ No longer need our young lady be a
drone. Yet, she must note, that with
greater power comes greater responsible
/ ity.
We think Of the old picture Of Wash
3 ingtonis reception at Princeton. The
mothers were there but before them,
stood their best work, the fair daughters
of the young Republic.
Now, as then, they stand needing the
same protection, but with the moral
and mental training the age demands
they are better able To assume their part
in the work OF life.
She need not he the rival of man, but
as in the beginning, his helper.
I Is there y place of business that is no
the purer for the presence of a we'll
trained woman? Is it not an honor L
man, as well as woman, that the ugly
word, the profane expression, is withheld
in her company?
Would the doors of the drinking ga
loon be so carefully screened, or tn,
window painted, did they not fear th'
eye of woman?
Are they equally secretive with thei
own sex?
! At home her influence for good an,
purity is never lost upon the brother.
In the social circle she mOulds charac
ter as she mingles with the other sex.
Her companionship, her frowns, he
words are educating powers that amiC

TO step into q better way.
In the church she does her part, bu
we ask for more-on the street, in thu
cars, i'm her business, should she max,
her purity and faith to be felt withou
obtrusiveness, aud yet so positively a
never to be mistaken.
; Doing her work always wOmanly, do
ing it well, the world must be better 70
her taking part in its active strife.
Our young lady will marry in time
in most cases she should, thereby chang
ing her work from lower to highe
sphere-but it need not be compulsory
not merely for shelter, only when in s
doing her higher needs are satisfied Il

In the recent Suffrage debate in the
Senate, Mr.. Ferry said:
"It is not my intention TO speak on
the merits of this proposition; but, in
asmuch as the Senator from Maine has
raised the question of consistency and
appealed to this record, 1t reminds me of
the fact that the question Of Woman
Suffrage appeared as early as 1858, be-
fore the Legislature Of Michigan. / had
the honor of holding a seat in the Sem
ate of the State at the time, and the
question was referred to the Committee
Of which / was member, and it fell to
INV lot TO consider the subject and re-
mort upon il. The resolution favoring
! The right of women to vote was lost by
but majority of three In the Michigan
Senate. The report was in favor OF
[ Woman Suffrage, and may be regarded
as having contributed to SO large a vote.
To-day, sir, is the first time since that
occasion. that | have been officially
called upon to record my Judgment upon
I the same question. / have had no rea-
SON. since the report was drawn, TO
shake INV belief that the right of Suf.
frage will not be jeopardized or perverted
/ n Welded by the hand of woman. Be
/ lieyinn that now, and desiring to act
I'm accord with my action in 1858, In the
Senate of nv native State, l am glad Of
theopportunity to prove my consistency
/ by voting for Woman Suffrage"

This is from Edward Everett: "To
read the English language well, to write
with dispatch a neat, legible hand, and
be master of the first four rules of arith-
metic, so as TO dispose of at once, with
accuracy, every question of figures
which comes up in practice, call this \
good education. And if you add the
ability to write pure, grammatical
English, I regard it as an excellent edu-
cation. These are the tools. You can
do much with them. They are the
foundation, and unless you begin with
these, all your fiashy attainments, lit
tie geology, and all other ologies and
osOphies are Ostentatious rubbish"

WoMAN's PRoGREss.- of the
most remarkable features OF the new
Illinois law concerning married women
is the authorization of civil suits be-
tween husband and wife. A married
woman may do business on her own ac-
count, with the same rights and liabili-
ties as If she were unmarried, except as
to partnership business, which she can
not enter without her husbands con-
sent, unless he is idiotic or insane, has
abandoned or deserted her, or is conhued
in the peniteutiary.

WEDDINGS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
There have been three weddings in the
White House since 1920. In the Green
Room, Miss Maria Monroe, daughter OF
President Monroe, to Samuel l.. Gouver-
neur, of New York. The second was
Miss Lizzie Tyler, daughter of President
Tyler, to William Waller, of Virginia,
in 1S43, in the East Room. By singu
lar coincidence, the eldest son of this
couple married the youngest sister of
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, at the Executive
Mansion i'm Richmond during the Re-
bellion. The third was that of Miss
Nellie Grant. .--

twenty-five children, and recently,
when he made arrangements for NOV

thus transferring his school tax, his old

neighbors, however, offered to remove
him free of expense, and so prevailed.

1t is told of him that a few years
ago he lost some money at a game of
poker, and soon afterwards, meeting
the winner coming up stairway, he
drew his revolver and told him to lay
the money down on the steps and 'git %
The winner did as commanded, and
Tom thus got back his money.
He never was seen without revol-
YER openly strapped to his hip-belt, and
he has often paraded the streets of
Omaha thus armed. Last summer he
was arrested tor carrying " concealed .
Weapons, bnt be claimed that his revol-
yer was not concealed, ann he was &C
cordingly discharged with reprimand
and on condition that he would not
make such an open exhibition of his
arsenal. Mr.. Parmalee, who was in
continued fear of Keeler's threats. con-
suited the District Attorney in regard
to the matter, but that officer informed
him that there was no law that would
prevent keeler's openly carrying weap-
ons.
Keeler, daring the last eighteen
months, bad got into several quarrels
with his neighbore and friends of Par
malice, End had assaulted and batter
ed" some Of; them. Parmaee assisted
them 70 prosecute him, and he was
tried several times for different offenses
es. We believe there are now two or
three criminal cases against him in he
District Court.
Reeler had threa,enedsParmalee with
vengeance, and warned him to go
armed. Parmalee accordingly did so,
and put his safety ia Winchester rife
He never felt safe, even on his own
premises, fearing that Keele. would
assasslnate him.
Keller has Two wives living, it is
said, and one of his sons is now waiting
trial in Cass County, on the charge of
horse stealing.
Dan Parmalee is a prominent and
well-so-do citizen of this county, his
real home being at Omaha He was a
member Of the Territorial Legislature
of 1866 and TIE two following State
Legislatures.
The general opinion seems to be that
Parmalee pursued the right course, and
that Keller got just what he deserved.
The feud had ripened to such degree
that Ii was only question of time as
70 who should make the first demon
stratlon or get the drop" on the
other.
Parmalee is man very much re-
spected in this community, while Keel
er was a VIGOROUSLY bad men, over
whose death there seems to be gener-
al feeling of satisfaction.
