A Gold Day.

We do have some cold days in the
northwest in the winter, but the ones
we have in mind would make the worst
blizzard that ever blew seem like q
tropical summer by comparison Some
few hundred thousand or million years
ago the whole of British America and
a large part of the United States were
buried under sea of ice hundreds of
feet thick. The border line of this
glacier stretched nerthwesterly from
the coast of New Jersey through Penn.
sylvania to Ohio. thence southwesterly
through Indiana to line drawn east
and west across Illinois about fifty
miles south of St. Louis. From thence
the line bore away northwesterly into
the Missouri Valley. We know the
limit by the granite boulders that were
borne along in the progress of the
glacier, and are not found south of the
line described. There was long sue.
cession of cold days then, but as the
northwest was not inhabited there was
no tourist travel to the resorts of the
south. Things have changed. People
buy ice now-and in southern cities
they make 1t. 1t is desirable thing.
Cold days now make people think Of
travelling southland in selecting a
railroad remember that the Burlington
Route has its own lines to Chicago and
St. Louis, offers choice Of routes, and
makes low rates.

WEEKLY MOTTO:
s'The test of civilization is the est
mate of women."-Gso. VIM. Curtis.

In presenting some facts relative to
the progress of women, it is not that we
think that their doings are specially
praise-worthy, nor that they are such
angelic models that what they do must
of necessity be taken note of, but be-
cause both the world and women her
self have awoke to the fact that she has
Il part te perform in the worlds work,
other than exclusive domestic duties.
In recognition of this fact doors are
gradually opening for her entrance
that have hitherto been closed against
her. She has proved her ability to en-
gage with equal intelligence in matters
commercial, political, philanthrophlc
and social, and all questions concerning
human well being, temporal or spirit
ual. Some of the enterprises in which
she is successfully engaged demand
even more courage and spinal column
Than is required on full-dress occasions,
andwill proportionately,be productive of
more permanent and beneficial results.
These items are not inappropriate to
our column, inasmuch rs the w. C. T.
U has been most potent agency in
developing the American women. 1t is
an orgaization ofsuch breadth of scope
that through its numerous departments
most of theimper.ant relations and re.
quirements of human life feel the intiu-
ence of its womenly touch. The
scriptural affirmation that the woman
is mans holp-meet is excepted in it's
entirety, and not applied to buttons
and vituals alone, (though the office of
home maker is held in the highest hon.
or). 1t aims to make every women a
more successful home-makcr and help.
