FARM DAUGHTERS

Miss Nettie L. Smith, of Sun Prairie,
read a polished address on Farm
Daughters al the annual convention of
the State Agricultural Society held in
this city. She said in part that to no
class does the world look for more help
III harmonizing the Heterogeneous ele-
ments in life than to the farm daughters.
There is one great problem that
of which determines her whole life.
The question how will she live? Will
she live a life of sordid selfshness, or
will she, by embracing broader aims
deeper life,-deepen her own character
and raise the lives o1 those around her
to higher, purer plai, ;? The one means
life of ease and pleasure, the other a
life Of toll and tribulation. 1t lies with
in the power of every daughter to
carry the hopes of her little world
onward and upward, or to drag all down
to misery and despair.
The fact that farm work is hard and
leaves small time tor reading and self
culture does not release fam daughters
from the responsibility of making an
effort at least to make home happy. We
must not neglect the inner life of our
families that the outer man NAV be well
clothed and housed. The opportunity
to neglect this inner life is perhaps
greater on the farm than elsewhere.
The careful housewife all unconsciously
starves the souls of her household that
the bodies may be we'll fed with
pumpkin pies and ginger snaps.
Farm life is just as pure, just as noble
as farm daughters CHOSE to make it,
and the horizon of the farm world
should not be limited by the fathers
wood yard on the east and the neigh
bor's hay barn on the west.
The young lady was the recipient of
hearty applause.-Madison Democrat

DEATH O. Miss JOSEF 4iNE RElTER.

The saddest part OF anyone's life his
tory, is when in middle age you are cut
down by disease and death. How often
this occurs, yet it is not brought about
by the sins of the departed, but by in
herited disease or the sins of genera
tions proceeding them. In this instance
life is cut off at the age of 26 years, in
the bloom of wnmanhond. The de-
ceased was taken sick about year ago
with la Grippe and was never free from
it's ravages until death relieved her,
Monday, February 9th, 1891. She had
been treated in st. Mary's hospital in
Milwaukee, where she received the
best medical care and treatment, but all
efforts proved In vain. Miss Josephine
was the second daughter Of Mr. and
Mrs. John Reiter. successful farmer IN
the town of Rudolph, who proved her
christian like character by her patient
and long suffering. The end was well
coined by her

RUDOLPH ITEMS.

Clark & Scott's mill began saving
nights Feb. Sd.
The way some people start to town,
and the way they get there, are some
time quite different If any one had
told those three men who started for
CentralIa, last Sunday, that they we're
going to meet two ladies on the way,
and in the act of passing, would turn
their cutter shoes heavenward, and
divide with their horse, giving her the
lines and cutter while they kept the
robes, cushions and whip, as we'll as
having the most glorious pleasure OF
going into town on foot, weighed down
with what the horse left al the upset,
they would, without doubt, have re-
manned at home, as good boys should.

UN-BUslNEss-LIKE METHODS.

| We sometimes wonder that merchants
and business men do not pay more at
tention and give more heed to the i'm
portance Of doing business in business
( like manner. Some of them still persist
in doing their best to convince the out
side world that they are not shrewd,
live business men, while at the same
time, they are belittling the city, and
all unconsciously casting slur Oh itand
themselves alike.
One of the ways in which they do
this Is in their business correspondence
They use poor 2aRe. :~l envelopes,
without 'lei7 :;;;@, i,!;;e place
Of business printed OF either, and then
wonder that their communications do
not meet with more prompt attention,
or at times appear to be misunderstood.
1t is a fact, recognized in all business
circles, that a neatly printed letter head
and envelope have their weight with
the merchant by whom they are re-
ceiyed, while the loose correspondence
on imprinted stationery at once conveys
the idea that the writer is some "quack"
or ''snide" business man whose order is
Of at least secondary Importance or
consideration.
Then some use a rubber hand stamp,
and it at once impairs his credit by
leaving the impression that he is not
the best man in the world to extend
credit to. lfhe were a good business
man and doing a good business, he
would use better stationery, is about the
first thought that flashes upon the mind
of the wholesale dealer or jObber who
receives such a letter. 1t should be
the ambition of every business man to
have his town advertised as live and
progressive one, and that they are live
men abreast with the times.
What impression would you form of a
! town where business men were too pen
urious to use a respectable article OF
commercial stationery, and what would
| v0u think of wholesale dealer or Job
! Der who would address with his letter
paper and envelopes imprinted, or even
daubed with the cheap and nasty rub
Der stamp?
! Let these business men who do not
use letter-heads and envelopes think
this over and upon reflection they will
doubtless take the proper view of it
