Our Girl In The Country

A country girl always has an idea
that the advantages of the city girl
are not hers-that she suffers from
lack of something, she doesn't exactly
know what. She is convinced that
the girl in the city avails herself of
every opportunity to look at fine pict-
ures, read choice books and cultivate
her mind. Now, when she general
ICES in this way, she is simply show
ing herself to be narrow and ignorant.
The girl in the country, to-day, can
get exactly the same papers and
books that come to the girl in the
city. Her thinking hours are longer,
and very often she sees more of real,
sweet home life. She is apt to learn
that most beautiful industry, how to
be a good housewife, and over the
bread-pan or churn she can think as
great thoughts as she would over
the elaborate fancy-work or in the
picture-galleIy. She can study flow
ers as thoy grow; she can breathe
the good, pure fresh air of heaven,
which makes a healthy body-and
that usually means healthy soul
and she can learn whatever she wish
es. Intellectually she can control
herself, and she may know, in books
at least, the best-train and the finest
minds of the century. Here there is
no danger Of her learning to speak
slang. Among these people virtues
are respected and vices are condem-
ned, and she will never regret and
which will always be credit to her.
Do you know, you girls in the coun-
try, that you can smell the flowers
and gather them, while we in the
city look them with the glass of the
florists window between us? And
bought blossom never has the charm
possessed by that which is plucked
by ones self. If there is anybody
to envy, it is the girl in the country.

The Man in the Case.

Since woman created there has been an aw-
full stir
About the part she plays on earth-an blame is
lain on her.
Let ans wickedness be done, at any time or place,
And saints and sinners do declare ga woman in the
case"
Some fool to suicide inclined blows out his little
brain,
SHOW mark my words-a woman!" every prophet
viii exclaim.
Or if some fool another fool dispatches from this
life,
rs significantly mentioned. 'He has a pretty
wife"
TIA man, thief by nature steals his employer
blind,
And goes alone to Canada. the girl was cleft be-
hind"
Or if he's a-talking with woman, on the
way,
1.-THE woman in the case goes. toO.' the daily pa
pers say.
Now this thing makes us women all so miserable
feel,
But for our dire existence, would never kill
steal;
In fact, if Eve to Adam the Lord had never given,
This earth had so continued a suburban sort of
heaven.
1t occurs to me, however, from another point of
view,
Had ne'er been given Adam, we could have heav-
en-, too.
If the world were only women, we could keep it
from all CRIME,
For doesn't the cold Adam" work the mischief ev-
cry time?
1t was Eve who gave the apple that has brought
all our woe;
But with no one there to take it, she could never
have done SO;
Though men will kill and steal for US, because we
are so dear,
Yon should mind they fix value by their own
existence here.
When you come to think it over, one conclusions
very sure,
Had they never been created we would ne'er
have sought to lure
Their poor souls from paths of virtue; they from
blame are not exempt
Do we lead them to temptation, they have tempted
to tempt.
With this new light the subject rather singular
it seems;
But instead it's plainly plural in reality it means,
When the blame for any action to its fountain head
trace,
You viii ever find woman, and a ma" are IN the
case -Fl0rG Mcdonald.

Old Hutch's New Coat.

1 was introduced to "Old Hutch
in Chicago the other day, said a
New England man in the Ebbitt lob
by. He is a typical Yankee of the
extremist sort, and you remember he
was from Vermont. He has large
frame, and in good flesh would turn
two hundred.
Stingy?
/ guess at least he has that rep
utation.
You remember he was held up by
foot-pads, and although he was worth
few million, they got only twelve
cents for their bold undertaking.
They say he dresses shabbily.
There is usually some hayseed I'M
der his collar, but | heard good
story about his getting a new coat.
His son one day upbraided him on
his coarse clothing and urged him to
SCU Il ICW ONClCOdl lihO iio ONus
which, though it cost 500, he as
sured his sire was made to order for
$40. The old man yielded, and the
son sent word to the tailor if his
father came in to make the price $40
and he would pay the balance him
self. The 500 coat was soon on
the old mans back, and the next day
on the board of trade broker in
quired if he was not getting rather
extravagant in his dress.
That's a fine coat you have on;
would be willing to pay $75 for one
just like it.
You may have it; quickly respond
ed the king of the pit, thinking only
of the $50 profit, and suiting the
action to the word, peeled his cover
ing as quickly as a country sucker
would shuck a nIbben. That day
there was a net loss in the Hutch
family, but the old man never knew
it.

What Is Wise To Forget.

And now let me give you list of
some things which will make you hap
pier if you forget them =
Your neighbours faults.
All the SANDER you have ever
heard.
The numerous times you have told
a servant how to do things, and the
numerous times she has forgotten.
Try again, and perhaps she will re-
member.
The date of your neighbor's new
dress, so that she will not believe,
w hen for some special reason she has
to wear it a long time, that you re-
member it from season to season.
Forget the faults of some of your
friends, and remember the tempta-
tions.
Forget the ault-finding and give
little thought to the cause which pro-
voked it.
Forget the peculiarities of your
friend, and only remember the good
points that make you fond of her.
Forget any personal quarrels, or
histories which you may have heard
by accident, and which, if repeated,
would seem a thousand times worse
than they are.
Forget that somebody's hair is
ugly; remember only how soft and
beautiful are her eyes.
Blot out, as far as possible, all the
disagreeables of life-they will come,
but they only grow larger when you
remember them, and the constant
thought of acts of meanness, or, worse
still, malice, will only tend to make
you more familiar with them and to
almost grow tolerant of them.
Obliterate everything disagreeable
from yesterday; start out with clean
sheet for to-day and write upon it,
for sweet memory's sake, only those
things that are lovely and lovable.
These are the best rules for peace
full mind and contented life.

The Under Dog in the Fight.

1 know that the world that the great big world,
From the peasant up to the king,
Has different tale from the tale tell
And different song to sing.
But for me-and care not a single fig
If they say am wrong or am right
shall always go for the weaker dog,
For the under dog in the fight
know that the world, that the great big world,
Will never a moment stop
To see which dog may be in the fault,
But will shout for the dog on top.
But for me, shall never pause to ask
Which dog may be in the right;
For my heart will beat, while it beats at all
For the under dog in the fight.
