For Women ONLY.

Yes, Mrs. Pharmer, you have per-
feet right to go out and throw stones at
your neighbor's hens if they come into
your yard, but when you throw the
stones you should so far forget your sex
as to hit the hen with them and not
throw them into the back of your own
head. The great mistake made by the
average American woman is that when
she starts ont to throw stones she turns
her face towards the object she intends
to hit. Don't do this. If you wish to
stone Cochin or Plymouth Rock hen
to death, turn your back scornfully
upon it and throw the stone in the most
natural way possible, and if you are as
much of a woman as the others of your
sex, you will have no difficulty in
knocking an eye out of the hen behind

Don't Waste Your Time.

My boy, you have finished your stud
les and are now ready to go out into the
world to earn your own living, and you
are inclined to learn trade. What do
l think about it? Well, l don't think
you ought to waste your time learning
one. A trade these days is not mark
of distinction. Men who have trades
now spend half their time joining a
union, and the other half trying to find
out what they joined it for. That leaves
them no time TOR work. If you should
learn trade it would cost you more to
support union than it would to keep
your family from starving, besides you
would be apt to run your constitution
down walking out" striking ETC.,
things you would have to do if you
learned a trade. So, say, don't bother
your head about trade. 1t isn't worth
while. If you want to be successful, if
you want to live in style, if you want to
win distinction, if you want to always
be independent, 90 out back of the
barn and learn to curve ball.
