That education will unit woman for the higher du
ties of life, be no longer advanced as an argument
against the training of our girls in the better
though newer way. The time required for the ac-
quirement of theoretical knowledge is conceded
by all to be the preceptive years of chid-lfe be-
fore the attainment of years of maturity.
Every girl might, if favorably circumstanced
attain proficiency in some one particular branch or
department some line of work or avocation by
which, if the storm-cloud of adversely burst sud-
denly and in full fury upon her, she might become
self-sustaining. Why such course should
render her unfit for the more sacred duties that
devolve upon her as wife, mother and friend we
are at loss to determine. The editor of The
three distinct periods. The first is SO
closely united with the child-fe that it is cassed
as one-the joyous, light-hearted period of girl
hood. All nature wears "coleur de rose" for her
during this period. The second is that portion of
her life that belongs to the home and home making
Here the strong arms of protection and love should
be around and about her, they should shield her
from all rude contact with the outer world, and
her home should be haven of rest, into which
nothing should enter to mar its domestic tranquil
ity and happiness. If such home is provided,
rest assured she will perform her duties as wife
and mother fa1 better if fitted by education so that
she understands fully the nature Of the grave re-
sponsbiites resting upon her. She is building
for the future not for the present. In this, the
nineteenth century, every one admits an educated
artizsn to be far more capable and more desirable
as an employe than one who is ignorant of the
principles that govern labor. Will not the same
principle hold good in the home? True education
will make woman mentally what she has long been
morally and spiritualy-she will become physically
a stronger woman.
The third period of her existence comes after
she has truly and we'll performed these home du-
test may not have been in home Of her own,
that perhaps has been denied her. She ofttimes
performs all unnoticed these same duties in the
home; she become the foster-mother to the young
family growing up around ner, the patient nurse
to the invalid mother, the willing, faithful house
keeper to the father, whose every wish she antic-
pates. 1t may be hers to perform all these SER
vices for some one else, where no tie of love light
ems or sweetens the task where she is simply an
employe. After all this comes the third beautiful
period of her life; perhaps all the more beautiful
by reason of what she has experienced, more beau
tful because it is full Of that sweet charity that
covers multitude of sins. This period of her
life is given to others-not to the exclusion of FAM
lily, they no longer need her maternal care-she is
left free to choose what she will do. Who shall
say what the harvest time Of her life shall bring.
What mete of praise shall be given her who, hav-
ing done all things well, works far the uplifting Of

BEYOND THE CLOUD.

II friend prove false,
My friend would you
Condemn other friends
Who have proven true?
Would you shun the roses
For fear of the rue,
And slight the violets
For dread Of the dew?
If faith grow cold
That once for you
Was wreathed with hopes
OF brightest hue,
Would you slight the faithful,
The loyal and tried,
The hearts that are true
Whatever betide?
II eyes are closed that once for you
Sparkled with love tender and true,
And there are other eyes whose loving glance
Awaken thought of the past perchance,
Why should you grieve that they are gone,
And say hope is dead' While life lives on
Beyond the cloud Is the silvery hue
And the future holds more than is known to yor

bands control. In short, every right save that
OF elective franchise is guaranteed to her. There
is one point that should be noted by every woman
the land over. Who made these unjust laws and
then that question being answered, the next to
follow should be, By what means or influence were
these laws repealed? If these two questions are
fairly put and rightly answered, thenlthe oft re-
peated assertion that woman is not woman's friend
cannot be true. Through few brave and gener-
ous-hearted ones the ball was first set in motion.
They were brave women, who, seeing the injustice
melted out to the sex, dared to place themselves in
array against public opinion and ages of custom
Patient women-for they have had long years to
wait; industrious women-for have they not toiled
early and late to right the wrong; unselfsh too,
for they did not say, this matter does not affect
me, why should be interested in it, generous
for where blessed with means they have given free
ly, and where wealth has been denied them they
have given Of their time. In short, in what bal
ance can be weighed correctly the good that they
have done? All honor to the warm hearted, liberal
minded women who aided by true men, have al
ready changed much that was wrong, and who, by
their continued exertions, will not cease to toll for
the betterment of others.
In every undertaking or new enterprise there
are obstacles to be encountered and overcome,
that, if their shadows were even glimpsed before
hand, the most vaorous and enthusiastic would
hesitate TO begin the work. But once the shout
der fairly put to the wheel, once the hearts SYM
pathes fully enlisted, one cannot but admire the
courage and determination of those who sur
mounting by toll and effort the mountain they
cannot remove, stand finally with the seal of sue
cess browning their labors All reform movements
must have beginning. There must be some one
to first think out the problem, and from their
standpoint or vantage ground they must reach
down to those who are cropping to find the road
They must be ready to point out the pathway, to
bring logical reasons for the faith that is within
them, and patiently bear witness for the truth.
The courage of their convictions must be strong
enough to enable them to bear with those who can
not see as they do those who do not think as they
think, for the world is made of many men of
divers minds. If all thought alike there would be
no reaching out after higher and better things.
The strongest incentive to an onward movement is
often given by those who, having no faith in an
enterprise, laugh at an undertaking, the nature of
which they do not understand. A little derision
from such source is often productive of results
just the opposite from those expected. Such has
been the history Of the woman movement all over
the land She had been educated to believe that
she must follow in the footsteps Of those who lived
century ago and according to the best light they
then had. There would be just as much sense and

The Minneapolis Tribune thinks the
government has been too lenient with the
Indian chiefs in the past and declares
that Sitting Bull and others who planned
and executed the awful Custer massacre
should have dangled from the end of q
rope long ago. Speaking of che present
situation the Tribune says: eff there had
been at least three hangings for every
uprising, hundreds Of valuable lives
would have been saved. AS it is, the In
dams are taught to believe that their
chiefs are mighty warriors, the very men,
ton of whose names inspires terror at
Washington. The Indians of the Dako-
tas are in a humor for war and.a IN over
towering force is all that checks them.
Leniency now will mean an outbreak in
the spring. They should be disarmed at
once-peaceably if possible, forcibly if
necessary-and if a fight is precipitated,
the first business after the rascals are
whipped should be a wholesale hanging
bee in which Sitting Bull and his fellow
murderers should be compelled to in
dulge in a ghost dance on thin air.
There would be peace on the frontier for
a long time then. ..--.

The Williamsport Record has this to
say regarding the Indian question:

The fact is that neither the maudlin SEN
tilnentalism of the Indian Rights Associa-
ton nor the blOodthirsty jingoism Of the
'exterminators'' is correct. The reserva-
ton system, coupled with the unselfsh
missionary work OF good men and women
has done all that could be done-more than
any other system would have done-in
tanning the nations wild men. 1t has its
defects, but they are defects that can be
easily and promptly remedied. Laws
made for Caucasians are 0beyed with
alacrity because back of them stands am
pie "police power" for their enforcement.
Let it be so with the Indians. Bring all
the military to the west. They have moth
ing to do in the east but fire salutes to the
rising and setting sun. But we are
not a nation of sun.worshipers, and old
Sol would rise and set just the same
without the salutes. True, the removal of
the military to the occident would bring
oceans Of tears from the eyes OF those aris-
tocratic maidens residing neal eastern gar
risons-maidens in whose sight the youth
full and Egallant lieutenant fresh from the
banks of the Hudson is "a thing OF beauty
and a Joy forever" But, il their hearts
remained true, and they still wished to

of the "fake" kilograms sent to eastern

many If not all newspapers published east

cellent material. All are willing to print
indiscriminately anything that an enter
prising correspondent may offer, and in
many cases the reports bear internal evil
dence of having been embellished and
padded in the Office. The practice is re-
prehensible, but it exists just the same.
In a New York, Boston, Buffalo, Baltimore
or Philadelphia paper a blizzard in Mime

space devoted to a storm of equal extent or
severity in New York or Pennsylvania.
Whole columns in those papers are devot-
ed to stories of local destitution among
frontier farmers in the Dakotas or Nebras-
ka while a similar state Of affairs in In

full. And so it goes throughout the tele-

SECRETARY FL1TTIE being interviewed
by a Pioneer Press reporter on the In.
dian situation said: ut is much better
in my opinion to have troops located
where they are likely to be needed, as
for instance lea the Indian reservations,
than to have them scattered along the
Atlantic coast. The United States has
but a small standing army, and to make
its services most promptly available in
case of an emergency is to locate the
troops near the point where they are
most likely to be required"

WHEN the Indian business is sifted
down it will be found that old Sitting
Bull, whom it has pleased many to call
"an old coffee cooler and ian over esti-

power of any of the Sioux chiefs. He
makes medicine and works upon the SUI
perstitions of the young bucks. He is
also very cunning-a characteristic much
admired by the young men of the tribe,
and his influence to-day is as great as it

through Bismarck to Standing Rock pos

General Miles to proceed to Sitting Bulls
camp, arrest the old chieftan and turn

tiles. He also had an order to all post
commandments and army officers to fur
nish such escort and transportation ia
cilities as might be required. He pro.
ceeded to Standing Rock and started out
for Grand River but failed to bring in
Sitting Bull. There was a change in the
programme and before Mr.. Cody had got
half way to Sitting Bulls camp, he was
overtaken by a special courier with a tel
egrsphic order from the war department
to return without attempting to arrest
the Sioux chief. MI. Cody and his
friends, DR.. Powell and Pony Bob, then
turned their faces toward the rising sun
and the Indian situation is-statu quo.

Notwithstanding all the newspaper talk

His idea seems to be that the Messiah
craze is religious in its nature, and that
the dancing and foolishness is likely to

war department and the settlers are I'M

He looks about him and finds all,his In
dams on the reservation, no outbreak of
any kind and no white settler threatened.
On the other hand the war department
finds the Indians all over the country

find them we'll armed and possessed of
an unusual amount of ammunition and
plenty of ponies. They are insolent and
