WAITING FOR SOMETHING BETTER.
DEAR CONVERSATION CLUE: I have been content
TO read and keep silent until T. b. Noble dared to
insinIate that girls do not work. then felt called
upon TO rise in defense of the girls. / think the
girls do great deal of work, and great deal, too,
that is not appreciated even considered, by the
boys, TO be work. Mr.. Noble belongs TO the sons
of Veterans. The daughters of veterans often do
some work, although they are not organized
body. Myself and three other girls raised S23 for
the purchase of a flag for the Blaine and Logan
Club of this place. Perhaps the sons have done
something better. IL so, let US hear from them

AN UNINTENTIoNAL COMPLIMENT.
DEAR CONVERSATION CLUB: Many thanks to Mr..
Noble for the compliment he paid us although 1t
was not intentional. 1t has been said that a man
may toll step by step to gain object, and when
he reaches ms goal he viii find that woman has
reached it before him." Be il so, and let us perse-
we're, girls, since person may do almost thing
he sets out 10 do. My father soldier and was
wounded in the hand at the battle of Pittsburg
Landing. We never tire of hearing him relate sto-
ries OF the and he never seems to tire telling
1 them. Long live THE TRIBUNE-the true friend of
the soidier.-Cora L. Brown, Mauch Chunk, Iowa.
