WHY WE KEEP BEFORE THE PUBLIC
Some of the best friends of our sex
have doubted the wisdow of publish
ing it in the newspapers so much when
d woman steps out of the old con-
tracted sphere and accOmplishes sue
cessfulIy works that the world used TO
believe could only be cOmpassed by
the hand and brain of man. They
say We should cease to think of these
things as extraordinary merely because
women have done them, but should
judge of the work simply and quietly
on its own merits, without reference
to the fact of its being done by man
or woman. In brief, say these good
friends, cease to spell woman with
large w This is an excellent thought
in oIe way. BY all means, let the
work of women be judged on It's own
merits strictly and without mercy.
Only in this way can our sex learn to
excel in what they undertake. If IL
woman assumes to do a task, and then
sIurs or Sights it; il she is incapable
of doing rightly what she attempts,
and then claims immunity because OF
her sex, by all means, show her up Tor
the fraud she Is. But when she does
achieve something out of the old line,
and does it grandly and thoroughly,
let us still publish it in the newspapers
yet awhile. do you know why? 1t
| brings inspiration and hope to other
women who are struggling out of the
ancient ruts. If one woman has
painted a good picture, if she has
written q successful book OF amassed
Il competency in business, Horticulture,
butter making, poultry, let US still
tell other women about it, SO they may
know there is chance OF success foT
them if they are faithful to the powers
they feel dimly stirring with them. 1t
is with no desire to give women a
newspaper nOtoriety, no intention OF
gratifying Il silly personal vanity, that
we print the story when certain women
have sUriven and achieved. God for
bid! But 1t is for the sake of the
comfort and hope the story brings to
other women who are struggling and
have not yet achieved.

Nothing is more gratifying than the
progress women are making in extern
pore speaking. Even i'll Sorosis the
ladies', five years ago, could speak
nothing like as well as they do now.
Often they use no notes whatever,
The way to learn extempore speaking
is to begin and preach your speech over
in your mind beforehand, thinking it
out carefully, but not writing line
of it except the headings. Then when
you arise to deliver it you viii prob
ably forget twO-thirds of it, but never
mind. Keep practicing, and you viii
gradually remember more and more of
it, and new thoughts viii at length

order, and after much discussion finally
selected the "Grand Army OF the Repub-
lie" as the name most appropriate and
expressive for the order. IL was then
decided TO print the ritual, and Captain
John ;. Phelps, at the suggestion OF ex-
Governor Oglesby, went To Decatur from
Springfield TO supervise the printing.
While there Captain Phelps spoke OF the
proposed organization TO several old
soldiers and the result was that an ap-
plication was made 10 Comrade Stephen
son for charter TO form post On
April 6, 1866, the charter was granted
and the first post of what is now
mighty organization was instituted there
with twelve charter members.
For several years the order did not
thrive. Its aims and purposes were mis-
understood IL was by many regarded as
a purely political organization. But dur
ing the last ten or fifteen years this
erroneous impression has been gradually
removed, and the true aims and princi.
pies OF the order are becoming better
understood and appreciated. 1t is now
becoming recognized as a great benevo-
lent order, the principal purposes OF
which are TO preserve the spirit Of COM
radeship cemented on many battle
field; 10 minister 10 the sick and dis
abled, bury the dead and assist the
widow and orphan. In doing this ii has
expended many millions during the
twenty-five years of its existence. The
rrports of the acknowledgement for the
last fiscal year show that S22l, $50 were
expended during that period for the re-
lief OF comrades, eX-soldiers and their
families. and nearly 10000 veterans and
their families, were thus relieved. The
growth OF the order has been marvellous.
In less than twenty-five years 10 has
outgrown every other fraterna order in
this country except the Masons and
Odd-Fellows. The Grand Army has
now 1000 posts scattered over the
United States and Canada, with a MEM
bership of nearly half million, and
about eight hundred thousand veterans
of the Union army yet TO recruit from.
During the last few years the order
has devoted considerable attention TO
the erection and maintenance of homes
for the aged and iniirm, and the build
ing OF monuments TO heroes of the war
and memorial halls i'm various parts of
the country. The most important un-
dertaking OF this nature is the plan for
the erection of a magnificent memorial
hall at Decatur, that will stand as per-
petual memento TO the Grand Army,
and which will be constructed so as TO
preserve the records of departments and
posts, trophies, relics, curiosities, litera-
ture, pictures, and whatever may serve
TO illustrate the history of the Union
army and It's achievements The hall IS

A River that Flows Inland

There is an interesting instance Of
water flowing inland from the sea. 1t
is found on the island of Cephalonia, in
the Ionian sea, west of Greece. The
phenomenon occurs on the southwest
side of the island near the small town
and port of Argostoh Two streams
flow at short distance from one an
other, straight from the sea, for few
yards, and then follow different courses.
One turns at right angles and runs for
some ways parallel with the shore and
close TO it. Then it turns again toward
the sea, and running, of course, deeper
and deeper, doubles completely under
itself, thus forming loop, and finally
passes out of sight deep down in
landward direction. In its course il
turns two -four mills. which will give
an idea of the strength of the current.
There is no tide in the sea mere, and
the flow of the salt water brook is
perfectly steady and continuous. The
other stream disappears in the ground
In a similar way. This curious phe-
nomenon has not attracted much at
tention because Argostoli is not on one
of the regular tourist routes. No one
knows what becomes of this water, but
1t probably flows to some subterranean
reservoir, and it may have something
to do with the earthquakes that occur
in that neighborhood once in a long
while, or, possibly, it feeds some dis
tant volcano. for, as is we'll known, the
most generally accepted theory of the
cause of volcanic eruptions is, that
they are due to steam generated from
water, admitted through cracks in the
earths crust. or in some other way

Who Should Bow" First.

A great deal OF nonsense has been
talked about the question of whose
place ii is to bow first when lady
and gentleman meet upon the street or
in any public assembly.
II is very absurd to say that a man
should always wait until lady has
recognized him. In this, as in most
other matters, common sense and mu-
tual convenience are the only guides.
Many ladies are near-sighted; many
others find great difficulty remember
ing faces. Are they, because of these
drawback, t. be always debarred OF
tho pleasure of q chance meeting with
some agreeable man?
The important thing, of course, Is
that man should not presume; that,
for instance, he should not speak to a
lady to whom he has been merely in
;roduced, unless she shows some sign
Of willingness TO continue the acquaint-
ance. Not to lift his hat to her with
Difference would be rudeness. bat he
should not stop to speak unless she
makes the first movement in that di-
rection.
When two people meet who are
really &C Juainted. it is not the man
who should necessarily bow first, or
the iady-it is whichever of them is
the first TO perceive and recognize the
other.
If a lady is walking and meets man
whom she knows well, and who de-
sires to speak with her, he will, of
course, not commit the awkwardness
of keeping her standing the street, but
if he has time will beg permission to
join her for few moments, and walk
beside her long enough for brief chat.
The lady, on her part, will make it
easy for him TO leave her when they
have exchanged a few pleasant SEN
fences that belong to such a meeting

THE SILVER ANNIVERSARY OF

More than Two Thousand Old Soldiers,

The silver anniversary OF the Grand
Army of the Republic was celebrated In
Decatur, H., the birthplace of the or

Other rouslng camp-fres and love feasts
were held the following evening, and
every comrade who refused 20 sing a
song or tell story was promptly court
martialed and forced 20 submit 70 such
penalties as the "boys" saw fit 10 infict.
The Grand Army has now attained
such proportions, is so widely extended,
and has on its muster rolls so many emf
nent men i'm American military history
that brief sketch of its organization
and present condition is of general inter
est. The first post of the Grand Army
was organized in Decatur April 6, 1866.
The men TO whose ability, loyalty and
perseverance the order is indebted for its
existence and magnificent organization
were Benjamin Franklin Stephenson and
Rev. w. q. Rutledge, both OF Illinois.
Comrade Stephenson was born In Wayne
County, Illinois, In 1922, and spent his
early youth and manhood in Sangamon
County. He entered the army I'm 1861
and served till 1864, when he met Com
rade Rutledge, who was serving as Chap
lain i'm Sherman's expedition OF that
year. These two comrades conceived
and discussed plans for the organization
OF a Dermanent society 10 preserve the

HOSPITALITY.
Various Impressions Received In Round
of Visits.

of Visits.
Around the very word hospitality
there fingers a delicate, old-world
aroma. 1t is suggestive of much that
is graceful and courtly in history and
literature aud life. 1t calls up visions
of bread broken between strangers, of
salt partaken of by foes, the sweet old
story of the woman who broke her box
of ointment at Christ's feet, all man
ner of shows and pageants and stately
companies, as well "a some very home
ly gatherings and pathetic kindnesses
Aud of this thing. so beautiful in
itself, so capable of all fine interpreta-
tons, we make often bungling aud
unlovely matter. We invite our guests,
we welcome them heartily, we give
them food to eat and place TO sleep.
They are a Joy TO us, and with that our
solicitude stops. The question of their
JOY in our society we either take for
granted or leave out of consideration.
We open our houses and our hearts,
and shut our eyes; and act at once
pitiful and unwise.
BY way of illustration of what we
would say 1t is the writer's pleasure
which his welcome was equally assured.
In one, while he was left perfectly free
in regard to manner of spending time,
exits, entrances, conversations, or ST.
lences, there was yet, in all the minor
arrangements, very evident care, at
once gratifying and soothing to Il stran-
ger. Without remark of any kind
tastes were consulted, ard comfort
quietly secured. On going TO his room
for the night he found that those inven-
tons of darlkness-th shams-had been
removed, the bed inyitingly opened
conveniently near were candle and
matches; on the table, up to which a
rocker was cosl Y drawn, were lighted
lamp, magazine, and some new books.
There were pins In the cushion, hot
water as we'll as cold on the dressing
table, and the towels were fresh and
plentiful.
And the other place? Ali, we'll an
attempt at entertaining was glar-
ingly eminent; there were apologies for
the very well-cooked and abundant
food; he CROPPED his way along dark
passage after the water; having per-
formed his additions he dried his face
ON new, unlaundried towel that left
it in an eminently starchy condition
and his temper on the move; he tore
off the sham, put out the gas, and
plunged desperately iuto bed, to 10 e
in slumber ungracious thoughts.
Sur6fy the nlo-al is not hard TO find.
There is an old adage 10 The effect that
a pallet of straw and goodwill is hos
pitality for king. Good, so far as it
goes Goodwill is certainly at the
bottom of all true hospitality. If you
have only a pallet of straw do not
apologize therefor, but if you have
more to offer look to it that your acceg-
series are perfect in their bestowal.
1t is not enough TO give freely All un-
grudgingly; to be OF any value your
hospitality must be thoughtful and
gracious. The best, not only of food
and shelter, but of mind and heart, is
not too much for the stranger within
your gates, or your friend, the chosen
of your heart. -HeGrH and Hd |.

The girl with ring on her first finger
Is not 10 be found any more. The en-
gagement ring is worn on either the mid
die or fourth finger, but never on the
first, says the JeCelers' ReUicw. AT a
recent wedding in New York the bride
removed her right glove and the ring
was placed on her right hand, instead of
the left. The reason for this change is
not known. The fourth finger OF the
left hand has been known as the finger
for the wedding ring from the earliest
times-it being supposed that the veins
from this finger went straight to the
heart. Perhaps the young ladies hearts
are changing nowadays. The winter
girl is marked by two characteristics
she has her hair frizzled all over her
head, and she wears a ring on her little
finger.

Cocks AMI witches.

In the fifteenth century il was pOpu-
larly believed that cocks were intimately
associated with witches, and they were
somewhat credited with the power of
laying accursed eggs, from which sprang
winged serpents. In 1474, at Balm, a
cock was publicly accused of having laid
one of these dreadful eggs. He was
tried, sentenced to death and, together
with the egg, was burned by the eXecu-
toner in the market place amid great
cUncourSe of PEOPLE.
