Our Texas son was recently in at
tendance on the National Educational
Association, which met in St. Paul,
and while there had the good pleas
ure of hearing the grandly gifted
Miss Willard. He writes of her and
her address in this wise:
"The evening Miss Willard spoke
some 5000 or 5000 people were
present, and all were able to hear
every word she said. The audience
was the largest of the entire conven-
ton. Her theme was The White
Cross Movement and more earn
est, solemn and impossible address l
never heard. Neither did she say
aught that was indecorous, or in the
least indicate. A Mrs. Warren of
Fort Worth was out with me on that
occasion, and as we went back to our
hotel, she, Southern lady, modest
and refined, spoke in the highest
terms Of the lecture. We discussed
many points in it, and both agreed
that Miss Willard seems prophecies
of God, who feels that she has great
work to perform in behalf of human
ity, and that she discharges this duty
faithfully and successfully"
How truly refreshing it is to find
our sons and brothers speaking brave
and earnest words in the deserved
praise Of the sex of their mothers
and sisters. Prof. Cornwall speaks
of the closing address of Mrs.
Lathrop at Ocean Grove School of
of Methods as Lightning from a
clear sky" He says the vast assem-
bly, was thrilled, startled, exalted,
subdued. "Knowing the wrath of
God, we persuade men," was the
subject of this matchless address.

it is the brother rushes with fleet foot

occasions for display of superior tact

intervals that man has come to look
on woman as an exquisitely polished
piece of home furnishing, more adj
mirable than able, more entertaining
than sustaining, more helpless than

"Woman is not called to be the mere

one earnest worker among the chill
dren in each town and neighborhood,
how long until we could claim all the
children of the Nation as belonging
to the army of the Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. In this respect let us
take a lesson from Roman Catholicism,
impart these temperance truths to the
young minds, that they may take
reot and grow stronger as the child
grows older. Then let us, as oppor-
tunlties present, do all we can around
us. Sow the seed and leave the re-
suits to God. I can't believe there
there will ever be kind word lost or
a good act forgotten by Him who
gives us our talents. Let us all be
SO active in this work that when Jesus
comes to reward his servants, and as
we 60 up one by one to the Lord, to
restore our talents, the Master will
know that we have been true to the
trust He left us, that we have sought
to do our best, and He will answer
us, "Well done" In the Master S
work we forget our own cares and
our burdens grow lighter when we are
about our "Father's business. The
seed of good we SOW will grow in
both sunshine and shade, and will
keep our hearts aglow as the days
are going by,
"sow in the morn thy seed, at eve hold not thy

Being Best Man.

1t Is no small undertaking to bc best

Johns in the Pittsburg Dispatch The
awful responsibilities of the groom
usually fiji the minds OF the spectators
and the best mans trials are rather
lost sight OF. Still important as the
chief male assistants duties are. they
are not really so formidable as they
seemed to an Allegheny man who re-
Gently was called upon TO fulfill them.
This young man was asked by an old
friend TO stand up with him when he
entered the solemn estate OF matrimo-
nv. He consented willingly. He is Of
nervous temperament and n number
of his friends, for joke. resolved TO
give him n fright So they went TO
him one by one and impressed upon
him that being best man carried with
il no small obligations. He would
have TO wear new dress suit, they
told him. and n new hat, new shoes, n
new tie and so on. Besides he would
have 10 give the bride an expensive
present, and contribute literally 10 the
groom's expenses. One particularly
solicitous friend was kind enough TO
figure out exactly how much his per-
Torrance nj the wedding would cost
him. The sum total, by this fictitious
figuring, was $3.50.

Mis-. or Mrs.

All women out of their teens are
entitled TO be styled Mistress says
the Lddy. Miss is merely "A dimin-
utiye. and Is properly confined 70
young girls, just as Master" Is com
monty confined TO school-boys. In the
days OF Pope Mrs was the common
appellation OF unmarried ladies. Sir
Walter Scott. too, speaks OF Joanna
(unmarried) as Mrs. Joanna Baillic.
There are nowadays plenty OF spinst-
ers-and yonng spinsters too--who I'M
sist on being addressed as Mrs.
and at one or two places In Sussex,
curiously enough, the married lady Is
Miss and the unmarried lady re-
ceives the title OF Mrs" The same
custom Is found in many parts OF Ire
land. The form Mrs. was at one
time applied indifrerently TO persons
ut all ages. Nowadays our servant
girls expect TO have their letters nd
dressed as Miss though there are IA
few that have more sense. There Is
story told OF certain maid-of-all-
work who transferred her savings,

woman respected herself and her call

boarding-school. Among servants
generally the cook, whether married
or single. expects TO be called Mrs. "
So do housekeepers. though unmarried.
In point OF fact Mrs. or Mistress is a
title OF respect that the plain Miss"
Is devoid OF. Why actresses who are
married women should seek TO dis
guise that fact by allowing the mis-
leading prefix Miss TO be attached
TO their names is mystery that ad-
mits OF no Ineligible explanation.

ADVICE 10 a bride.

In the first solitary hour after the
ceremony take the bridegroom and de-
mand "a solemn vow of him. and give
him "A vow In return. Promise one
another sacredly never, even in jest,
TO wrangle with each other, whatever
thepreteXt with whatever excuse itmay
be. You must continually, and every
moment, see clearly into each other $
bosom. Even when one OF you has
committed n fault, wait not an instant,
but confess ii freely.
And, as you keep nothing secret
from each other, so, on the contrary,
preserve the privacy OF your house,
married state, and heart, from father
mother, sister, brother aunt and all
the world Every third or fourth one
whom you draw into II with you will
form IA party, and stand between you
two.
Promise this TO each other. Renew
the vow at temptation. You will find
your account in it. Your souls will
grow, as IL were together, and at last
will become as one. All, If many a
young pair had on their wedding-day
known this secret, how many marri-
ages would be happier than, alasl
they are now!
