Suggestive Remarks and an Illustrative

1t is pleasant and hopeful to note that
SO many of the young women of Amer
lea are learning to value the mental
powers and the education that will
make it possible for them to support
themselves if the necessity for doing SO
should arise The daughters of COM
paratively wealthy men are not infre-
quently found assisting their fathers in
the Office or counting-rOom as type
writers or accountants.
Many so-called fashionable ladies
make their own dresses and hats, we
are told, having gone through regu-
lar course of instruction in the art of
millinery and dressmalsing. An in
stance recently came to the notice Of
the writer that has in it lesson for
women who give no thought to the
state of dependence to which they
would be reduced If their parents or
husbands should died, leaving them un-
provided for.
A lady who had a beautiful home and
three little children, and whose hus-
band was supposed to be comparatively
wealthy, one day found herself n wild

having been engaged in unfortunate
specula.ions Just before his death.

One night a well-knpwm citizen of a
western city who,ha been walking for
some time in the downward path. came
out of his house and started down town
for a night OF carousall with some old
companions he had promised to meet.
His young wife had Besought him with
imploring eyes, to spemf the evening,
with her. and had reminded him of tho
time when evenings, passed in her coma
pany were all too short. His little
daughter had chung abuut his knees
and coaxed in her pretty, willful way
for ''papa" to tell her some bedtime
stories; but habit was stronger than
love for child and wife, and he eluded
her tender questioning by the deeeits
and excuses which ane the convenient

on his way.
When, he was, some blocks distant
from his home. he fcaznd that in chang

though he knew his family needed it,
and his wife, WAS economizing: every
day more and mare in order to make
up lis deficits; so he hurrie,il buck and

had so often uttered at his own mother

MISERY IN GERMANY
Death from Absolute W ant Reported in
Berlin

BERLIN, July Several cases of death
from absolute want among the poorer
classes have been covered up by the au-
thorities as being entirely attributable to
disease. There is systematic effort on
the part of the authorities to minimize the
misery that prevails owing to the high
price of bread. The police have been
known TO rebuke persons on the street
who were heard talking about the corn
duties in a tone of dissatisfaction, and
they give a fat denial on every possible
occasion TO the reports of restitution.
| In this way they have managed to de-
ceive some of the newspapers, while Others
are willing to misrepresent masters with
out being deceived. The truth, says the
United Press correspondent, is that nearly
every wage earning family keenly feels
the situation, and the kaiser is losing OF
account Of it much of the popularity
which he earned by his advocacy of Labor
reform.

the general discomfort to SOW their doc
