as she spoke. She was blddon TO come the
next afternoon and repeat hsr story TO tho
attorney at the usual weekly hearing of

THE BALLOT NO REMEDY.
How are these evils 10 be eradlcatedi
Some says "Give women the ballot"
What effect such ballot might have on 9TH
or questions am not here TO discuss; but
what would be the effect OF female
suffrage on women's wagesY do not boz
lieve that women will ever got justice by
woman's ballot Indeed, women oppose
women as much as men do, Do not
women, as much az mon, beat down TO tho
lowest figure the woman who sews for
themS Arc not women AZ sharp as men on
washer-women, milllners and mantua-
makersS II a woman asks ono dollar for
her work, does not hor female employer
ask hOr II she will not take ninety oentsy
You sayi "Only ton cents difference" but
that Is sometl nes the difference between
Heaven and h0ll, Women have often less
commlseraton for women than men, II
woman stops aside from tho path OF roctl-
tude man may forgive, woman never
Woman viii never get justice done her
from woman's balloti neither will shs got
II from mans ballot How thenY God will
rlse up for her. God has more resources
than wo know Of, The flaming sword that
hung at Eden's gate when woman was
driven out will cloave with Its terrible edge
her oppressors
But there Is something for women 10 do.
Let young people prepare 10 oxcsl In
spheres Of work and they viii DO able aft
or awhile to got larger wagea II II DO
shown that a woman can In u store sell
moro goods In year than man shO will
soon be able not only TO ask, but 10 demand
more wages, and 20 demand them success
fully, Unskilled and incompetent labor
must take what is giyoni skilled and COM
petent labor will eventually make its own
standard, Admitting that tho law Of sup
ply and demand regulates these things,
contend that the demand for skilled la
Dor IL very great and tho supply vary
small. Start with the idOa that work
Ia honorable, and that you can do some
one thing better than any body Olsa.
Resolve that, God helping, you will
take care Of yourself, II you are, after
awhile, called into another relation, YOU
will all tho bettor 10 qualified for II by
your spirit OF sof.reliancoi or II you aro
called 10 stay aa you are you can 10 happy
and solf-supporting. Poots are fond OF
talking about man as an oak, and woman
as tho vine that climbs II; but have seen
many tree fall that not only went down
itself, but took all tho vines with H. | can
tell you Of something stronger than an oak
20 climb on, and that Ia the throne Of tho
Great Jehovah. Single or aillanced, that
woman is strong who leans on God and
does her best The needle may break tho
factory band may slip the wages may
fall but oyOr every good woman's head
thero are sprcad tho two great, gentle,
stupOndous wings Of the Almighty.
SHARP CONTRAST
Many Of you win 20 slnglo.handod
through lrc, and you will have 10 choose
between two characters, Young woman,
am sure you viii turn your back upon tho
useless, gggling, irresponsible nonontity
which society ignominiously acknowledges

humble, active, earnest Christian What
will become Of that womnny disciple Of
the worlly She IL more thoughtful of tho
attitude she strikos upon tho carpet than
how she will look upon the judgments
moro worried about her fr,c,los than her
sins, more Interested In hor apparel than
In her redemption, Tho dying actress
