Our spring is backward here. Farmers have
not done much at their crops yet. Our little
town is growing very rapidly. 1t is new
town of 600-.b houses built in 1889. Lots have
doubled in value in one year. Two brick fac
tories turn out ~ 600 brick each per day. l am

We would inform our friend that the
acreage of fall wheat will more
than double the acreage last
year and at this time the
prospect is fiattering for the largest crop
per acre western Kansas has ever had
We have had big snow, without wind,
and it is has done as much good as a rain
could possibly do. Everybody is happy
over the prospect. This section has never
failed to yield large crop of cereals. We
would further say that if he intends to
purchase land near Colby he should come
at once for the price is advancing as crops
are assured and the city is prospecting.

EDUCATING GIRLS.
The Wise Plan Accepted by n Lawyer OF
New York City,

The Wise Plan Accepted by n Lawyer of
New York City,
A prominent New York lawyer recently
engaged governess TO instruct his three
little children. Said he to her: II do not
care so much what studies you select for
my children, but one thing l shall insist
upon, and that Is that you take especial
pains to cultivate their perceptive faculties.
l want them to become observers, so that
they can inIelligently describe what they
see." This lawyer is wise in his day and
generation. 0ne-half of the people who
think they are educating their children
afford men like this lawyer deal OF amuse-
men. and only deceive themselves. In
these days Of reference books and encycl0-
pedias it is worse than senseless to cram
the tender brains with the dates OF battles,
heights Of mountains and lengths of the
rivers in the world. 1t is enough to know
that the Amazon River is in Brazil, with
out telling that it is exactly 1000 miles
long and $50 miles wide. Individuality is
sadly lacking In the education of girls, for
too many OF them are educated alike.-N.

THE BALLOT.
Some Reasons Why Women Desire the
Right to Cast Vote.

Some Reasons Why Women Desire the
Right to Cast Vote.
Editor Woman'S Column, Morning Call:
| cannot understand the ground of the
fears of Ii. B. g., neither can | understand
what there is so communicating to woman
who may go to the polls. AS far as l can
see, there can be no contamination in de-
posting ballot.
II she thinks it Is so because here in San
Francisco the polling places are in close
proximity to saloons, we cannot On block
at any time without getting as near or
nearer several saloons. We are used to
that. One reason women would like to vote
is, that perchance the men might, out of
respect to our sex, put the polling places in
more respectable locations.
Women with homes do not care to vote
for the sake of Office, but rather that they
may help elect those for Office who will pur-
ify the polls and wipe out evils, so that their
boys and girls may not be contaminated 1t
is no more communicating to stand in line
to wait your turn to vote than 1t Is to tand
in line to pay taxes, and thousands of women
do that once or twice year for themselves
OF for their husbands. 1t takes no more
time to attend political meeting than to
go to concert or ball or the opera, and you
have the same society, for our husba nds,
fathers and brothers go to both places.
And some or many of these same hus-
bands, fathers and brothers go to saloons
and their wives, mothers and sisters are
obliged to go to those places to bring them
home, because to drunk to come alone.
OF course that is not degrading; but to
stand in line and vote All, how dread
fully out of place How degrading! What
a shame that men-Our own husbands, per-
haDs-have to engage In anything SO terri
bly, degrading. We ought to do something
TO save their honesty and manliness from
being destroyed, for we ourselves will be
contaminated by associating with them.
Really. don't see but we shall have to go
to the polls and protect them from its in
hnence. But, alasl contamination takes
place before they get to the POLLS. 1t is not
at the polls that men sell themselves, but
beforehand, and that is what we want to
make impossible. A man who is honest at
home will be honest at the polls; and if
he loves and respects his wife he will not
do so the less because she goes with him to
the polls. A lady will always be lady
anywhere and will command respect but
those who are not worthy of respect will
not get it anywhere. In the meantime see
no harm in single women having the right
to vote or hold Office If they are capable, and
they will not be likely to be elected unless
they are any more than the men. Incompe-
tent men are often put into office. and we
have to submit to their laws. There are
many things that women have to put up
with that they hope to remedy
when they get the ballot w omen
have to earn their own living. and l

THE AGE OF SURPRISES.

The One That Creates Wyoming ana
Dethrones Bismarck.
The age that creates Wyomings and de-
thrones Bismarcks may be said to exhaust
the resources of surprise; and yet who is
wise enough to forecast the result OF Its
changes, or calculate with any precision
what will come next? A few years ago
there appeared an able paper in the Atlantic
Monthly dismiSsing the woman suffrage
movement as something not merely I'M
reasonable but powerless; it made aoso-
lutely no progress, and indeed no one TOOK
it seriously. Yet the author of that paper
voted in Congress the other day TO
extend suffrage to women, wlth9nt
twice as large as England or as
the State of New York; about equal, that Is,
of Wyoming is larger than all the New En-
gland States together, with New jersey.
Delaware and Maryland combined; it IS as
large as Virginia and North Carolina
united; it is larger than all Italy. and three
times as large as Ireland. Over its area OIL
women will henceforth vote, MS they have
already voted, on an equality with men;
and in view of a result so tremendous. one
can hardly wonder If those who have been
agitating for this reform during forty years
should be disposed to shut up
tuCLI IcicSCOpcS, llh0 a.
loo, with the calm remark: The held is
won. Let the whole line advance"
Yet, after all, can any one calculate just
what results are to follow when the whole
line shall advance? A quarter of century
ago it seemed as if the one source OF evil 10
be removed from this country was human
slavery; as if, that abolished, we should
step at one bound into such career Oh
prosperity and exalted virtue as the world
never saw. Twenty-Five years have passed ;
1t is only the nIiddle-aged negroes in the
former slave States who can recall the actual
experience of working in the fields under
a taskmaster; but the world and the flesh
and their c0ncOmitants are still with us,
and, If we may trust the newspapers, the
millennium is not yet within easy reach
Nobody doubts that something is secured,
but how much? A great deal has been
gained, no doubt, by teaching women tc
read, in spite of the warnings of Sylvan
Marechal against that dangerous expert
ment; but when we consider that some OF
the most unpleasant, not to say immoral,
books recently published in America have
been the work Of women, it is evident that
the world of womankind has not yet been
wholly transformed by the possession OF the
alize our public life are not those of mascu-
line nature only, but of human nature; and
we plainly shall not outwit those forces
merely by putting in LucreZia B0rgia as
Chief Justice and Becky Sharp as Minister
of Finance.-T. w. Higginson in Harper's
Bazaar.

have heard of their supporting hnsbanSs
and children, although they invariably have
to work for less wages than do men, VINO
do the same kind of work. This would not
be if they had vote. Must woman, be,
cause of her sex, go on being defrauded ana
imposed on? Do not men respect woman
who stands up for her rights? Did any
one respect the late Miss Kate Kennedy
the less because she refused to be tossed
about from one position to another, ana
her salary thus cut down without Deine
consulted? Not by any means. Inc
plucky stand she took gained success and
made it impossible for the School Directors
to impose on other teachers in the same
way; and every true man and woman re.
joices in her perseverance and success. II
1t is right for women to pay taxes, why Is
it not right for her to vote how they shall
be expended? If it is right for her to
work, why should she not have the right
to insist on the same pay that men have
for the same work? 1t seems to me that
when she takes a decided stand for her
rights she will get them and not till then.
l do not believe q faithful wife or mother
will neglect her duties aI home for politics.
l should be ashamed Of my sex if thought
her character would be deteriorated by do
ing anything that she believed right and
for the good of her home, and that 1t Is
not right for her to vote has never been
proved L. L. S.

A MoMAN,s UNION.
What One in the City of Boston Has Bee
Doing and Is Still Doing.

What One in the City of Boston Has Been
Doing and Is StiIl Doing.
The following is an extract from the an
nual report of Mrs. Diaz, President OF the
Educational and Industrial Union of Boston,
read at the annual meeting held in that city
on the 2Sth of July: THE union, by Its ex-
istence, shows its reason for being. In this
city, besides those engaged in household
service, there are $1,000 women employs.
and the union, which is open day and even
ing, is place where these women can find
friends. Women come from everywhere
and will make all kinds Of inquiries. Well
TODD women are constantly being drawn to
the city, and many of them find the union q
social center as we'll as place to secure
information needed by strangers.
1.-The union is also a power for women. a
shield against injustice, and means of ad-
vaneement. 1t is an institution equipped
and ready for any new pEllanthropic effort,
and is often the means of furthering a
worthy cause. Our present scope OF " ork,
large as 1t is, Will be greatly extended when
the energies now devoted to self-mainte-
nance can be turned in other directions.
1.-The various departments, educational
and industrial, reach all classes and condi-
lions of women. We aim to establish a
social intercourse on the basis of a common
womanhOod. AS woman has large control
of the early Influences that form character,
the elevation of the people depends largely
on the advancement of women"

She Does Something Else Than Lead

1.-THE Prince of Wales has taken kindly
to the typewriter" we read in London
letter, says the New York Sun. The Prince
always does take kindly to the privileges Of
life, but how does the Princess approve Of
the innovation? Twelve of the machines
have already been ordeted by his Royal
Highness for private use. Whether each is
to be accompanied by the sweet girl opera
tor is still an uncertainty. but, judging from
all form er preeedenls the picturesqueness
OF the invention will not be impaired or
disarranged.
A lady, speaking recently of the absurd
objection women occasionally manifest to-
ward the employment of young and pretty
women at their husbands offices, said that
she appreciated the Typewriter employed
by her husband and rejoiced in her attrac-
tiyeness, for since her advent at the Office
she had so purified the atmosphere of the
place, tidied its disorder and uncleanlness,
abolished profanity and well-nigh routed
the smoking hangers-on, that The lady her
self enjoyed calling in there occasionally,
and could do so without being stared out of
cOuntenance by men not accustomed to the
presence OF women in the place.
