THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER.

lRepublished by Special Request.]
To the home of his father returning,
The prodigal, weary and worn,
Is greeted with Joy and Thanksgiving
AS when on his first natal morn;
"robe" and "ring" is his portion,
The servants as suppliants bow,
He Is clad in fine linen and purple
In return for his penitent VOW.
But ah! for the prodigal daughter;
Who has wandered away from her home
Her feet must still press the dark valley,
And through the wild wilderness roam;
Alone, on the bleak, barren mountains
The mountains so dreary and cold
No hand is outstretched in fond pity
To welcome her back to the fold
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows His sheep, tho they stray;
The weakest, and cen the f0rsaken,
He bears in His bosom Away;
And in the bright mansions of glory
Which the blood of His sacrifice won,
There Is room for the prodigal daughter,
AS well as the prodigal son

AN amusing incident occurred at Mrs. Jenness
Miller's lecture at New Orleans. Among house
full Of ladies was one gentleman OF course he
was reporter and had front seat, where he
could hear and see all that was said or done. Mrs.
Miller began her lecture without paying any atten-
ton to him. After displaying some OF her numer-
GUS dresses she came to the front of the stage and
addressing herself directly to him, made him a
nice little speech, during which he looked pleased
and plumed himself somewhat after the fashion Of
duck before storm But unlike the duck he

The Toledo Blade tells Of a society Of old maids
which exists in village Of Switzerland. The So
ciety numbers eighty members, who perform acts
Of charity, and are highly esteemed by their neigh
bors. The municipal council lately presented them
with banner, on which there is the following
startling inscription: "Women are evil, but they
are also blessing" 1t is not recorded whether
or not the spnsters were willing to march under
the banner.

EVERY man and woman should have the right to
WORK at any kind Of honest labor which he or she
may find to do, and the pay should not be meas
ured according to pantaoons or skirts, but by
the manner in which the work has been DONE II
pantaloons represent good work, and skirts poor
work. then pantaloons should receive the full pay
and skirts only one-thrd, as is now the custom,
but If skirts represent the good work and panta-
looms the poor, then skirts should receive the full
pay and pantaloons the one-third, as is not now
the custom. 1t is a poor rule that won't work
both ways.

Exposition that has not proved browning success
Perhaps there never has been, nor never will be an
occasion where good common sense should be ac-
corded such full sway, nor one where it should be
more important that true citizenship should out
weigh both round and paper dollars.
LAST Sunday morning Mrs. Palmer spoke at
Cumberland Presbyterian church to small but
attentive audience. The subject considered was
"Woman at the Feet of Jesus" and the first case
considered was that of the sorrowing, repentant
Magdelene, who drew timidly near as Jesus sat
dining in the house of the rich Pharisee. Graph
icaly she pictured the scene, but words failed she
said, to tell what this woman endured and over
came that she might kneel at the feet of her Mas
ter and battle them with her fast falling, repentant
tears. She had brought an alabaster box of
precious ointment with which she annointed Them
Although the moment appeared so nopportune
and proprlety forbade such demonstration the
gracious Savior not only saw and heard but an
swered her mute appeal for aid, and straightway
declared that her sins, which were many, were for
given her. In swift succession came woman as a
seeker, and the VI the Cruuinxlon, when
"Mary stood the Cross Beside" closely followed
by the morning of the Resurrection, was held for
inspection before those present Deserted by
those why had sworn fidelity woman stood promi-
nent in these pictures, the greatest on which this
world has ever gazed. Coming in the early dawn,
bearing sweet spices and wondering who for them
empty grave. Straightway they ran and told the
disciples, who came and looked and went away.
Not so with Mary, who, sorrowing, sought until
she found her risen Master, from whom she re-
ceived commission to ''Go and tell the glad
tdings.' This commission has never been re-
voked. Woman has, and in Gods own time and
way will have, this grand privilege. She has told
it many, many times, and in many many ways,
but there remains more yet for her to do. Right
gladly would we tell Of the many other beautiful
thoughts presented by this earnest woman as food

permit, but we must only mention the cases as they
were considered. Of woman as mourner at the
grave of her loved ones, as student at the Mas
ters feet, as mother intercedng for a hayward
sinful child, and several others. One we cannot
pass, and that came under the head of anxious
Martha, numbered with much serving, andIin few
terse words Mrs. Palmer pictured woman as the
kitchen maid of the church, performing duties as
cook and waitress that church socials might lift
church debts, and preparing decacies of which
men ate (for the sake of the church, until they
had fit of dyspepsia and woman had from over
work nervous prostration, all Of which did not
conduce to advance the cause of the Lord. Mrs.
Palmer left the city on Monday, but expects to re-

let the storm burst upon his poor, defenseless head
while he was yet unprepared. Mrs. Miller ex-
planned to him that she was about to exhibit gar
ments that men were not supposed to understand.
AS he got up and walked out the aisle "the OBJ
served Of all observers, it was not necessary to
be in front of him to see his embarrassment, for
the blush extended even to the back of his neck.

language more forcible than polite, he marched off

humbug anyway.

IHE story of the prodigal son has been read
many, many times sermons have been preached
from the text; and the story will be read yet many
times more. The message it should convey to all
who hear it is that God as loving, plying Father
waits to receive with tender pity and forgiveness,
not prodigal sons alone, but prodigal daughters
too, for they are all his children. If as Christians
we truly believe this how can we continue to ignore
duty? Are we not hidden to help the fallen? AS
Christian mothers do we not take to our hearts
and homes the one, but shun as q moral pestilence
the other, who, perhaps for one short hour has
swerved from the path Of secttude? Do we hear
with hearts attuned to sympathy the story OF
hayward girl? No; for her, in the words of the
poem, she must look to heaven she may there
find that peace and comfort that is forever denied
her here. That social stigma should brand the
one and society take to her embrace the other, is
morally wrong in the sight Of an All-wise Creator
and should be so in the sight Of all who advocate
purity Of character and life as the true safe guard
of the home.
CONGRESS has again assembled and it is again in
order for all manner of schemers to exert their
utmost abilities to induce the members to advocate
their own special jobs All jobs, of course, are
not Objectionable; some are meritorious, and
many are the reverse. The first depend upon
sound arguments and candid presentation Of
facts; the latter. in default of sound arguments
to support them, must resort to more questionable
means. This will be particularly the case in re-
gard to the choice of location for the great
Worlds Fair or Exposition of 1892. Such an Ex-
position is an event that the youngest of our
nations citizens can scarcely expect to witness
again, and as a consequence the object should be
to place the Fair within the reach of as large
number Of citizens as possible, and thus secure
the largest possible attendance. If such is the
expectation, it would appear to be an easy ques-
ton for every member of Congress to settle, by
asking himself Sat what point will the greatest
number Of my constituents be able to attend"
We believe that reference to the, map of the
United States will show to great majority of the
members that St. Louis is not only accessible to
the largest number of their constituents, but is
best suited in many respects particularly for
available grounds. Moreover, st. Louis has never

Ex-Governor ordway Returns.

Ex-Governor Ordway returned from the
Red river valley Sunday, and expresses
himself as highly pleased with the condi-
tion of the communities throughout that
wealthy portion Of North Dakota. He had
most enjoyable trip, and met many old
time friends. During his visit he made
several investments and is now preparing
to remove large number of fine cattle
from Iowa to his Walsh county stock farm.
After looking over large portion of North
Dakota he expresses great confidence in
the future prosperity Of the state. North
Dakota will hold her own with the best Of
them.

Menoken's Waterloo.

For several weeks the Menoken base
ball team has been defeating other base
bali teams throughout the Missouri slope
1t has demoralized every club that came
before it, and cried out for more worlds to
conquer. The Menoken artists came to
Bismarck week ago and took the laurels
from the second" nine, and finally chal-
lenged the first rine to game. They met
the regular Bismarck team Saturday, and
the introduction was one that they will
not soon forget. The score in the third
inning stood 16 to 0 in favor Of Bismarck,
and the capital city boys began to play
horse. By careless playing during the re-
mainder of the game the Menoken slug
gers were given nine runs, and the score
at the end of the game stood Bismarck a.;
Menoken 8.
The boys from the eastern end of the
county should not be discouraged by the
result Of their hard afternoons work.
They are young and ambitious, and have
many years ahead in which to practice.
