Womens' Rights.

FRIENDS
Please give me your attention clea,
through,
For I'm going to tell you fact or two.
Women can boil potatoes and fry meat,
But are never allowed to make a speech.
/, for one. can make a speech. Friends,
it's true.
Made one already. 1t was a good one,
too.
Had Mt thought of entertaining you to.
night,
But guess l will. I'll do what is right.
We women throughout this land
Are slighted on every hand.
In this society we would take a delight.
But are seldom asked an essay to write.
Some friends think we were made to
scrub;
While others think our calling at the
wash-tub.
We can sew from morning until night.
And it's all perfectly right;
But if we school should want to teach,
Or any of US feel led to preach,
Our brother friend will say
"Oh my, it will never pay;
Don't neglect the home; my dear,
Women always get out of their sphere" {"
If to college We would like to go,
They'd simply say Learn to sew
If missionary we would like to be.
1t would be hard for them the point to
If a woman can wash, bake and churn,
Some think it's all she need to learn.
If this is all the learning We need
1t is useless for men to try to read.
For we are As smart as the men,
And do not commit half as much sin.
Think of the good that's being done
By the women against the terrible rum.
1ntemperance receives its death blow,
And will continue to, wherever they 60.
All we want is simply our rights.
And we'll have them or stay all night.
We cast vote at the school meeting,
And SO we are here tonight speaking
We are demanding higher wages for our
work;
Men with few exceptions) always did
shirk.
Notice when the school board teacher
hire.
Gentlemen they give fifty dollars and
build the fire.
But if lady an application should put
in,
To give her twenty-five would be sin.
Before long there will be change,
For school matters the women will ar
range.
Then we'll get rs much as the men;
On this, friends you may depend.
I'll not detain you any longer tonight;
All have to say IS I'm in favor of wo-
mems rights.
PRISCILLA.

Mr.. White Bixby brought to close last

best ever taught in Quickville, and we
mention with regret that White has ac-
cepted an excellent offer to teach at
Hardy, Neb.. and started for that place
Tuesday last, but We can join with his
numerous friends in saying success
We are very sorry to chronicle the fact
that our Sunday school has been obliged
{" disband, or rather to adjourn until
next spring. but such was the resolutions
adopted last Sunday owing to the steady
decrease in attendance and apparent lack
of interest. Last Sunday there were only
nine present including teachers. There is
no reason why this should be SO as we
have a large number of children whose
parents should make it duty to see that
their children receive aOme biblical
thoughts away from home. as far as that
is concerned they should attend them
selves, and it really does look. taking it
from point Of view that some have work
ed hard to maintain this school. as
though il were pure seifishness and neg
lect of parents that has brought the
school to its present condition.

EDUCATIONAL
lntePestln Schools.
PRISCILLA.

The time has come when in order tc
make our schools success, the parents
as well as the children must crested
in them. The rising generation must be
educated in order that they may fill the
places of honor and trust which will be
entrusted to them. This life is reality
not to be wasted in idleness or foolish
ness but to be spent in useful work and
study. The poet says:
Life is real; Life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal.
Dust thou art, to dust returneth
Was not spoken of the SOUL
The mind needs food and we are so
constituted that we pick up some knowl-
edge which is food for the mind. The
body grows by assimilating food; the
mind by assimilating knowledge. Work
(either Of the body or of the mind Is not
mans punishment; it is his reward and
his strengh. his glory and his praise.
Whilst some may believe IN that beauti-
full idea of the angel in the block, no one
will believe there is an angel in the mind
and that we need only knock off the
rough surroundings and have a perfect
man or women.
How true it is that if We ever rise to
any degree of eminence on the pinnacle
of fame, that such position will be OBJ
tanned by our o wn persistent efforts.
Life is (or rather should be- a season
of activity. This is wide. wide world
and has many positions of honor and
trust for those who are striving earnestly
for them. and though many of US. so to
speak are at the lowest round of the
ladde, mot very pleasant place to be
sure, for the crowd that is surging to and
