A certain little girl up town lived with
two aunts. one married, with whole
lot OF children. and lots OF worry and
bother, and the other single and having
quite comfortabletime teaching school.
The child had contrasted the respective
situations. but was not old enough to
understand the difference in the posi-
ton of her two relatives. One day she
threw her doll aside, and assumed an
attitude of profound thought, which was
interrupted at last by the question
"Well. julia, what are you thinking
about2" When the child let loose 4
ten-acre lot lull OF crude philosophy by
answering: II was tinkn whcvver, ,wher

Some other Rights Of Woman


Col Boo Insersoll has been deliver
ing lecture on the {, Rights of
Woman" and from it We clip the fol-
lowing:
Il believe woman is ths equal of
man and has all the rights Of man, and
one more, that of protection. [ be-
lieve the institution of marriage to be
the holiest and most sacred institution
among men. Yet it took thousands
of years to advance from slavery mp to
the marriage institution. / hate man
who thinks he is the head OF the
family. | do | despse him. hate
one of those dignifed saloots, [
never saw dignifed man who was not
a Ounce. Solemnisy is a breastwork
which mediocrity throws up to defend
itself from the eyes of the world. |
hate a man who is an aristocrat in his
family, and whose wife is obliged to
be q beggar. She says. 4 want dol
lar, and asks for it as if she were
standing on bomb shell, and he re-
plies, what did you do with the fifty
cents | gave YOU How many women
are obliged to be continual beggars?
How can you raise children in such an
atmosphere? Its terrible thing it's
wretched and infamous | believe in
the democracy of the family. Every
home should be little republic IN
itself. Love is the only thing where
the least possible extravaganza is the
height of economy. What right has
the man to be the head of the family?
A man should be cheerful and pleasant
on coming into the house. When you
enslaye anybody, you make him dis
honest. A hut with love is a palace
fit for a king. A little while ago [
stood at the tomb of the dead Napo-
leon, and when | thought of his past
life, l thought ] would rather have
been French peasant and worn wood
en- shoes. living in a hut with little
wife loved, with children upon my
knee, and their arms about my neck,
and died unnoticed and unknown,
loved by these who knew me, than 10
have been that king 1t is not neces-
sary TO be great or rich or powerful to
be happy"

Keep Little Girls Legs Warm.

We have observed a few things
about the way little girls are dressed
for winter that We want to call atten-
ton to. Generally. mothers arc care
full to clothe their little girls warm
careful to see that they have warm
cloaks, and warm comforters to wrap
around their heads -overshoes to keep
their feet warm = but fashion demands
that the limbs, from knee to the ankle,
shall be exposed. and nothing but
tight, neat-ftting stocking worn by the
child. Very often the stocking is thin
cotton. Such a fashion is barbarous
and is the cause of sickness and death
in hundreds Of cases, IF you value
your little darling's health. clothe their
limbs warm and comfortable as you do
their bodies, feet and head. Don't
permit fashion to make martyrs of
your rosebuds and then growl at an un-
kind Providence. When we see
child whose little limbs are exposed to
the cutting winds. with 10 protection
other than neat-ftting cotton stock
ing, we say to ourself, We'll, her
mother is slave to fashion" Clothe
the girls as you do the boys. and then
they will be just as healthy and rug

Dip it Up.

4 ship was sailing in the southern
waters Of the Atlantic, when her crew
saw another vessel making signals OF
distress. They bore down toward the
distressed ship and hailed them.
"What is the matter?'
1--WE are dying for water" was the
response.
"Dip it up, then" was answered,
You are in the mouth OF the Amazon
river"
There those sailors were thirsting,
and suffering, AMI fearing, and lon .ing
for water, and supposing there was
nothing but the oceans brine around
them, when, in fact, they had sailed
unconsciously into the broad mouth o.
the mightiest river on the globe, and
did not know it, And though to them
it seemed as though they must perish
yet there was hundred miles of fresh
water all round them, and they had
nothing to do but to dip it up
Jesus Christ says: IF any man
thirst, let him come unto Me and
drink. "And the Spirit AMI thu
bride say, come, and whatsoever will,
let him come and take of the water
of life freely" Thirsting soul, the
food is all around you; dip it up,
them" and drink, and thirst no more.
