She stood leaning against the white
mainsail they had hoisted to shade the
side of the deck where George sat. Her
coarse blue serge dress and blouse showed
signs of wear, but above the blue the clear
cut face and fair hair seemed to brighten
its dinginess. Her brown hands were
tying and untying the clewlines, as if
they could not keep quiet. Georges eyes
softened as he looked at her. He spoke
again in an eager way:
"You were so brave and good to me dur

"Then you do love me-" said George,
stepping forward. "Then why should we
not be happy? see no reason; you have

"Don't, don't tempt me- she gasped,
white to the lips. Then turning she fled
down the companionway, and George did
not follow her. In few minutes Mary

A pERN1C1oUs PRACTICE,

A |
Dear Home Council:-The attempt to
write some grand thought or to do some
grand work has crushed in the bud many
a noble thought and hindered the execu-
ton of many a noble deed of mercy. Be-
ing greatly interested in the talk of the
council l wish to sugges a subject which I
should like to see discussed by tho Coun-
elites, and that is: Should that Joking
and bandinage concerning courtship and
marriage, which is commnly called
"plaguing," be tolerated among we'll bred
young people in society? The temptation
to be bright and interesting and to attract
attention by means of this ~'plaguing" is,
it appears, very strong with some, for
nearly all will be interested in it and en-
Joy it for a little while. But were I obliged
to choose between this "vivac1ty" as some
have been pleased to call 1t, and dullness,
in a young girl, I should prefer d%ullness.
Happily this is not a necessary alternative.
Much harm, much bunting of fine sensi-
bilities, much destruction of that delicate
modesty which is the priceless dover of
young girlhood, comes of such jestirg
and joking where it is permitted without
restraint or reproof. This vulgarity, (for
Il 10 other term will rightly describe it)
seems to find a place in every. community.
No place is too holy for its entrance. 1t
has invaded the s~anctity of the public
school, where, of all places IN earth, it
ought to be prohibited. The mischief 1t
has accomplished here cannot be estimated;
the unhealthy impression it has left on
many a sensitive youthful mind, years
cannot eradicate; and I call on the teacher
to keep the moral atmosphere of the
schoolroom as pure as possible, and to en-
deavor to create a love in his pupils for
nothing but lofty and noble ideals. There
are enough evil influences surrounding the
young without bringing any into the pub.
lie schools, and a teacher who does not
boldly di%scountenance such practices is in
my opinion lacking in moral stamina

Home.

ADVICE TO HUSBANDS.

Husbands ought always to weara smiling
and happy countenance. Should the care
of providing the raw material to make a
home weigh you down, never mind, always
go home with a smile. Husbands have
often lost the affection of their wives by
looking
Be hareful about your personal apper.
ance; much depends upon that. Be sure
that your hair is smoothly arranged and
your collar spotIess before presenting
yourself at the breakfast table. 1t is by
attention to such little things that you
may be able to retain the affection of your
wife.
Don't complain if you are sick. A com
planning husband often drives q woman to
seek more congenial society, If you have
the toothache-smile.
If you are embarrassed for want of funds
to meet the necessary expenses of your
household, always bear it with a cheerful
and happy expression-always smile; your
wife may be driven to spending her even
ings elsewhere than at home if you COM
plain.
Keep up with the times. Your wife,
having the care of the education of the
children, naturally reads more than you.
Don't let her. After you have worked
twelve or fourteen hours a day, devote the
remainder to keeping your mind in good
trim, so that your wife may not find a
more cogenial spirit elsewhere.
Should your wife smoke or use tobacco
in any form, itisn't best to object. Smiles
will do more than frowns. Encourage her
to smoke or chew, as the case may be, at
home, or she may be driven to stay away
from home. Personal liberty is always

The Sturgis Record would weaken the
alliance by calling the attention Of its
members to the fact that a few men are
attending to it's business interests and
no doubt receiving good pay for their

interests OF the alliance need any one at
tho head, or why not invite some OF the
politicians Of the county to attend to
their affairs? The slurs of the party

MOTHER CAMPAIGN.

The equal s%uffragists in this state seem
to have their campaign now wellin hand,
says the Pierre Free Press, and the worst
unbelievers will hardly dispute for a
moment that this aus will carry at the
fall election by a good, round majority.
And why shouldn't it? Has a t;lngable,
PLAUSIBLE reason ever been advanced
against the right OF women to vote and
have an equal share in the management
OF the government that CONTROLS them,
and OF which they are such an important
part? On the contrary v good die.
tate OF conscience tells that to deprive
the intelligent women OF this country
OF the power Of suffrage is placing then,
on a par in point OF intelligence with the
idiots, insane, convicts and other rif-ral
OF humanity. 1t is not necessary tc
dwell on the reasons that will guide q
large majority of the voters OF the state
this year in deciding this question in the
affirmative. The principles involved are
familiar to every school boy, and it is
only sufficient to have the assurance
from the prospects as they at present
exist, that the success OF women suffrage
in South Dakota will prevail.
BY this action the state will placeitselI
a long stride in advance OF it's sister
states OF the union and set them an ex.
ample they might we'll follow, and should
have followed years ago. 1t will only
strengthen the sound principles OF good
government for which South Dakota has
become noted during it's brief career as a
state Of the union, and not only this,
but it will prove that we have no hest.

forms as these, over which other com
