An exchange in speaking of a woman
who was drunk upon the street, refers to
her as hard character. Well what we
want to know is, if you call woman
that drinks hard character, what do
you call man that gets drunk? Or does
his personal liberty" give him drunk" a
milder name? Isn't personal liberty
Just as dear to the woman as to the man
and sh Guild not woman enjoy this ''per-
sonal liberty" just as well as man
Doesn't a woman need to drink liquor
and use tobacco just as much as manf
Hasn't a mother just as good a right to
get drunk as u father? Hasn't sister OF
daughter just as good right to 20 reel
ing through the street as son or broth
err? Husbands, fathers, sons, think on
these things.
We are pleased to note that the Bel
ford & Clarke Pub fishing Co. of Chicago
have organized an Association. the object
of which is to bring the purchaser OF
books face to face with the publisher,
which means saving of the expenses and
profits of middle men. The catalogue OF
the Home Library Association as it is
called, comprises a list of 1900 publica'
lions, miscellaneous aud standard. N.Y.
ron G. Waddell, from Evanston, ILL.,. is
now in Austin, representing the Com

vicinity would do we'll to avail them
selves of this favorable opportunity Of Sc
curing books at publishers rates. A per.
son becoming a member Of this Assecla-
ton IS entitled to publishers rates and
trade discount the year round.

sentable appearance. Read the follow
