The Ring.-''H-l Bent and Zulu
are two champions of the ring. Zulu is
not indigenous to POwnal. He is re-

Zulu went to York State; on Monday he
returned and boosted more than ever.
H Bent countered again, then they
one. 1t was not advertised and there
fore few were present. 1t was a fight
without rules. Zulu struck out straight
from the shoulder right and left, and
slightly reached Bent's peppers. Then
Bent became furious and the battle
ragged to and fro like the coming to-
gether of wO mighty currents. There
was confusion dire. Like two enraged
oxen these two champions fought. Then
they clinched and fell, Zulu under.
How are the mighty fallen" Then the
struggle was short, and with wall Zulu
threw up the sponge, and HI Bent
was victor. Zulu received bruise on
his shin and limped Bent received a
scratch under the eye and winked.
Only had this contest been advertised,
then the day that Bent and Zulu fought
would be for Pownal memorable day,
day with an anniversary, day to be
commorated with a monument.

1t will not pay to get jealous of each
other; cooperation is the foundation of
success in the creamery.
If your neighbor does not keep profit
able stock, or does not give them proper
care, don't grumble to every one you
see, because you imagine you are not
getting your just dues by putting your
cream with his. You might better go to
him and try to convince him that by
careful feeding and iudicious manage
ment, his returns will be much larger.
On the other hand If other patrons are
getting more money out of their cows
than you, don't get discouraged, but
look into their management, and see if
it is not better than yours; if so get out
of the old rut, and profit by successful
mems experience.

valuable time in taking few pounds of

Yesterday was a great day with the
Masonic fraternity in New York. The
cornerstone of the Masonic home al
Utica was laid amid the cheers of 2O,OOC
Masons and as many more spectators.
The rain did not prevent the ceremonies
The movement for the building had its
origin in 1912 and was hindered by many
diff ulties on the way. The building OF
the home was delayed by the debt on the
Masonic hall in New York city, which
was completed in 1874. The plan pro
vided for the building of structure in
New York city the revenues from which
would help to support an asylum. The
big debt on the building in New 1orB
city was not raised until 1880, and be,
fore that task was actually accomplished
measures were taken for the selection OF
a site for the asylum, the home of the
destitute brother, the widow and orphan
the erection of which was the ultimate
purpose so long and steadily in view
Mary sites were proposed and the selec
ton was finally made in 1882 when
tract of 100 acres was purchased in Utica
The Home project, in this and many
other States, is monumental to beneyo
lence, and gratifying evidence of the
growing humanitaTianism of the times
Millions of Masons say in effect to-day

THE STATUS OF WOMAN IN THE
UNITED STATES


Prof. Garfield of the Kansas Univer-
sity, favOrs us with the fOllowinge xtract
from the Lawrence Daily journal, which
goes to show what our distinguished
Arlington boy is accomplishing in the
position to which he was cordially nom
mated by the BANNER. Under date of
April 2Sth, 1891, the journal says:
Among the options recently advised
! by the Faculty and accepted by the Re-
| gents, is one which will doubtless cause
much comment in the educational world,
as well as in other circles. For the first
, timein educational history, it is believed,
is the condition of woman to be assigned
] place in University curriculum; and
/ is such n study tn be given prominence
and value as part of liberal education.
/ 1t seems quite fitting that "The Status of
| Woman in the United States" should first
be subject for investigation, from the
historical and practical standpoint in
! the University of Kansas, in which from
the opening of its doors no distinction
of sex has ever been tolerated, but CO.
education has been absolute and com
plete.
"Pr fessor James II. Garfield in whose
department of American History and
Civics this new work falls, has been
striving to secure this option for several
years-but financial and other reasons
forbade until now. The course will in.
Clude at first three conferences each
week of the second term; but will be
come full term study as soon as the
library facilities will warrant this extern
sion. 1t will open with brief review Of
the condition and position of woman IL
all countries and in all ages, down t.
about A. d. 1850. Then will follow {
more careful study of woman during
the century preceding the colonization
OF America-tO determine what may b,
called the fatheTland influences. Woman
in America will next claim attention, il
Colonial, Revolutionary and early nine
teenth century periods. The course will
close with a careful examination of thu
legal, political, industrial, educatiOna
and professional status of woman in tn
several states of the American Union.
1.-THE proposed course has already at
, tracted much attention. Miss France

it "a lever of tie finest Bessemer steel
