The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-02-04

A lovely old Quakeress in one Of the
northern cities was doing some shop
ping one day, when she was attracted
by the pale face and jaded look of the
girl that waited on her. A little
kindly questioning brought out the
fact that she was from the country,
had not single friend in the city,
worked ten hours a day, slept in a
dismal room with three other sales
girls and spent her lonely evenings
looking out of the window. The little
interview bore it's fruit. The Friend
pondered over the subject and talked
with other Friends and they resolved
to supply these working girls with
home and friends and the protecting
influences that surround other girls.
They rented big, cheerful room and
supplied it with music, books and
flowers. 1t was made pretty and at
tractive and was like q paradise to
come into after the days hard work.
They had gymnasium and bath
room adjoining. The girls came
eagerly enough. They formed club
and paid trifle for the use of the
rooms, just to feel themselves indie,
pendent. They brought their lunches
at noon and sat about the pretty
parlor and talked and enjoyed them
selves to the utmost. They spent their
evenings there together in the best
and purest of home pleasures. And
how the little seed has grown! The
club numbers seven hundred now,
and has large house of its own. Ii
has formed night classes, where les
sons are given in cookery; music, EN-,
broidery, drawing, French, literature
and history. The good it has done,
who can estimate-and all because a
little gray-clad Quakeress stopped
one day to say friendly word to the
tired girl on the other side of the
counter! Are there no philanthropists
in Austin, or is there no need fol
them?
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-02-04

There is one thing which has al
ways been extremely puzzling to the
Home Corner, and that is the serenity
with which the mothers of this day
and time are sitting still and allowing
their boys to degenerate into brainless,
understanding dudes. Cigarette
smoking is becoming the national
vice. Texas boys are especially adj
dicted to it. 1t is no uncommon thing
to see little lads six or eight years old
putting away with the ease of a veteran.
Many of US have seen little youngsters
in knickerbochers, riding down the
street in a goat-cart and leaving a
trail of cigarette smoke behind them.
Some of us have even seen little fell
lows in kits asking for light and
calmly criticising the flavor of the to-
bacco, as though they had been in the
habit of smoking some sixty years.
Bows 90 smoking TO school, and as
soon as they get beyond the school
premises in the evening they stop
long enough to light their cigarettes.
Many of them have smoked so long
and so constantly that their fingers
bear the tell-tale stain that will not
"out.n Meet a youth with haggard
face, sunken eyes and an utterly
chastity and unhealthy look, and some
one will tell you at once: "Oh, that's
a cigarette fiend!" Most parents are
fully aware that their sons are form
ing these habits. They also know
that of all the ways of using tobacco
the cigarette is the most hurttul.
They know that in many cases it pro-
duces earlysand sudden death. They
know that in many others it COM
pletely wrecks the health, and leaves
the growing boy dwarfed and
wrecked, physically, so that his life is
no pleasure to himself or his friends.
They know that in very, very many
cases it takes the worst turn
of all, and wrecks the mind,
either making the victim raving
maniac or a hopeless and helpless
imbecile. Yet fathers and mothers
will see their boys falling into this
habit almost without protest. They
might, with much more justice, sit
still and see their children take a
fatal dose Of poison, because that
would merely kill them and have
done with it, without leaving them to
drag through years, a burden to them
selves and their friends. Who will
pretend to say that the evil cannot be
stopped? Most boys could be made
to see the danger, if it were presented
to them in a straightforward way;
and if they cannot, why, there is such
q thing as parental discipline left in
the land, one would hope. 1t is not a
danger with which one can afford to
daily, or which one can ignore simply
because it happens to suit a child's
within.

"Tommy, you have disobeyed me,
and am going to punish you. Walk
right into the dark closetW
The voice was cold and stern, and
the manner was equally unyielding.
Tommy, crying and struggling with
all his might, was pushed and dragged
into the closet, which was certainly
dark enough for all practical pur-
poses, and the key was turned in the
| lock.
"Mamma, it's so dark Pm afraid!

iect Tommy. But he was not yet sui
dued. The mother, stealing noislessly
up to the door, groaned in a most hOr-
hible manner and ratified piece of
chain.

ened child, "Please let me out! I'll

Then the door was opened and the

racy of Idaho to act in unison with
the democratic party of the coun-
trv in the cause of tariff reform,
and we deny the right of the gov
eminent to levy protective ar #
except so far az required for pur-
poses of revenue; and we denounce
the tariff and other class legisla-
ton that the republican party has
inflicted upon the country as sub
versive of the interests of the peo-
pie and in conflict with the funda-
mental laws of our country.
Resolved, That this convention
deprecates federal interference in
the labor troubles in northern
Idaho. introduced by w. N.
Morphy of Shoshone county,.
Resolved, That the delegates
chosen by this convention secure
the election of F. W. Beane, of
Blackfoot, as the member from
Idaho of the national democratic
committee.
The peoples party state conven-
ton held in Boise last Thursday
was attended by fifty delegates
representing six counties. J. B.
Wright, of Caldwell, was elected
chairman. The following dele
gates to the Omaha convention
July 4th, were elected:
D. r. Munro and B. 7. Temple
ton, Logan county; P. J. Pehey,
w. H. Taylor and Rev. J. S. Nc

Boise county; A. I. Lane, G. S. A.
Howard, NJ. G. Davis and w. A.
Coomer, Latah county.
The main resolution which radi-
cslly differs from any of the old
party talk is as follows:
Resolved, That we demand a
national currency safe, sound and
flexible, issued by the general gov
eminent only, full legal tender
for all debts, public and private,
and that without the use of bank
ing corporations a just, equitable
and efficient means of distribution
direct to the people at tax not to
exceed per cent be provided, as
set forth in the sub-treasury plan
of the Farmers alliance, or some
better system; also, by payments
in discharge of it's obligations for
public improvements. We demand
free and unlimited coinage of silver
We demand that the amount of
circulating medium be speedily in
creased to not less that $50 per
capita. We demand a graduated
income tax. We believe that the
money of the country should
be kept as much as possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we
demand all national and state
revenue shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the govern
ment economically and honestly
administered. We demand that
postal savings banks be established
by the government for the safe
deposit of the earnings of the peo-
pie and to facilitate exchange.

Many tragic incidents have occurred
in dissecting rooms. The, one best au-

prominent lecturer
"Some years ago." he said, while I
was lecturing on anatomy in an eastern

shall never forget. Among the students
was a young man from Lynn, Mass,
whose name, as near as / can recollect,
was Smithfield. He was bright fell

explains things and after few demon
STATIONS an intelligent student can take
care of himself"
When n student enters the dissecting
room he is armed with set of instru-
ments, consisting of knives or scalpels,
pair of thumb forceps, pair of
scissors, a chain with flesh hooks on
both ends, saw and a director. He
wears long gown of some coarse ma
terial and, if he is particularly fastidi-
Gus, a cap TO match the gown. Upon
the payment of a small fee he is en-
titled to certain portions of the cadavers
on hand. The clerk of the college keeps
set of books in which is kept correct
record of every member of the human
frame which student has at one time
or other cut and hacked to pieces.
Particular efforts are made to give each
one chance to dissect an entire corpse
from the head down to the tees, but the
order in which he receives the different
parts cuts no figure. He may be COM
PEELED to begin his operations with a
leg and end with foot, but in the
course of his studies he is almost certain
OF getting hack at everything.
The ambition of every young doctor
is to articulate a skeleton. This is a
peculiarly delicate task and but few
succeed in doing the work. It requires
considerable patience of the kind pos
sessed by Mr.. Venus who. the reader
will remember, was postmaster IN the
art of putting together handsome
