A Word to the Girls.

In our w. G. Z. U. work in many
towns we find that the girls are taking
no part and really feel no special in
| terest. Why is this ? Do our older
members neglect to invite them to a
place in our ranks or do they refuse
such invitations ? 1t is sad fact to
realize that each and every young wo-
man possesses such wonderful power
and influence and yet does not exert it
at all times in the very best way. Not
long since an elderly lady arose in a
w. c. T. U. meeting and wanted to
speak word abd the influence of the
girls in her town. She was the mother
of several sons, all of whom she had
tried earnestly and prayerfully to train
in the ways of righteousness and truth,
but she had observed for several years
that when her boys were old enough to
90 out into fashionable society they
soon learned that the ''young ladies"
did not frown ON wickedness and friy-
olity, as rule, but rather enjoyed and
encouraged many things which did
not tend to refine and purify society;
as for instance the social wine cup in
the parlor, the habit of playing cards
for prizes, etc. She felt that young
men were more powerfully influenced
by young women than by any others
and her heart yearned for the time
when the girls would fully awaken to
the great Importance of being careful
how they used their influence with
young men.
Many of our fair young ladies OF
Mississippi are engaged in active Chris
tian temperance work and we feel that
all honor and praise belongs to them.
We are thankful for their lives and
their beautiful examples; but oh! how
we long for all, not part OF the dear
girls of the State to think seriously of
the great responsibility that is resting
upon them in society. They have it in
their power to lead the young men with
whom they associate into the beautiful
paths of purity and usefulness or to
wreck and ruin their lives.
Will not every dear young lady who
chances to read THE LEADER read also
the following little article clipped from
the Christian Observer and see for
herself what the young men think of a
p0sitire stand for the right?
ONE WAY.
A young man, in company with sew
oral other gentlemen, called upon Il
young lady. Her father was also pres
snt TO assist In entertaining the guests.
He did not share his daughters scrl-
plos against the use of spirituous drinks,
for he had wine TO offer. This was
poured out, and would have been
drunk, but the ouBE ID: "Dli

than any other association, and these
good women are going to get the victo-
ry some way. Frances willard, the
great leader, has made greater inn
preston on the nation than any man
has ever made, not excepting Grover
Cleveland.
Is this not grand encouragement!
Not many days ago, on Sunday morn
ing in the church, an old man whose
besetting sin for many years has been
the sin of drunkenness, but who re-
Gently reformed and joined the church,
came up to one of our temperance wom-
en- and taking her by the hand said: L
have wished for you many time over
yonder in my town (he had moved
from her town to distant one and was
living among strangers), for there is
only one woman that talks temperance
all the time and everywhere and tries
to help people that way. Poor old
mani! So long the appetite had fasten-
ed itself upon him and so long had he
yielded to the temptation to drink
that now in his feeble old age he felt
unable to hold himself up-he felt the
need of friendly sympathy as well as
the church to help him and his old
home. The Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union had encouraged and
helped him in the new life all it could
he missed it in the strange town to
which he had gone. Thinking of him
and plying him in my Utmost heart,
this question arose-how many of us
w. G.. T. u. women stop to think of the
influence we may have upon strangers
and realize how important it is always
to keep the little knot Of arhite ribbon
in rieu and live so that poor, unfort-
innate man, like this one we have just
mentioned, may not fear or hesitate to
approach us, because he knows we are
willing, yea glad to help him out OF the
old dark life and as far into the new
and happy one as possible.
Let us be more prompt to attend our
regular meetings and there together
studyways and means that we may
''employ" to discourage the use of and
traffic in this liquor poison.
As a conclusion to these scattering
remarks let me ask of all w. c. L. u
women who chance to read this article
to write out briefly their experience in
wearing the white ribbon among stran-
gers. AS beginning | will give my
own experience. On one occasion
had been on trip and was returning
home and just before reaching my des-
tination, the conductor said: You will
soon be home-nert stop. A bright
pleasant faced young man heard the
remark and as the whistle blew for
Holly Springs he stepped up to me and
said, "Excuse me, but | see you wear
the white ribbon; SO does my mother,
and | came to ask you if you have pack
ages of any kind that may help you
take off the train | always feel that
l can speak to lady who wears the
badge my mother wears
! His manner was so like a Christian
temperance boy that | was sorry for
once that l did not have any bundles
along, for it would have been treat to
have received any little service at his
hands. was thoroughly proud of him
and you will be all the more so when |
tell YOU he was one of our own Missis
sippi boys, from Iuka.
Who will be the next to send in a
word of experience to show the power
of the white ribbon?

Never was there better opportunity
TO parade a handsome autumn gown tnan

been preparing ourselves for cold weather
with our heavy winter coats and our
ample fur capes. But these preparations
seem 10 have "hoodooed' the winter and
we have basked I'm the Indian summer

gone TO other climes. That were a great

rARrNERs FOR COIN ~ arnors

1t has been stated 10 us on authority
that is perfectly satisfactory that IN
some parts of the State it is thought per-
aissibie for county judge 10 have a
partner in the practice of the law who
regularly takes cases before the county
judge himself. Indeed, in one instance, q
Commonwealth attorney complains that
the judges partner defends every accused
person who is tried before the Judge, and
that. in consequence, he is unable 10 Sc
cure any convictions in that court.
This is all wrong 1t is entirely right
that the county judges shall be allowed 10
practice law, because they cannot live on
the salaries paid them by the State. 1t
is entirely proper also. that they should
have partners. But IT is not to be thought
of that those partners shall defend per-
sons before them accused of crimes. 1t
is TOO nearly the case OF a man sitting in
judgment in his own case.
This Is matter which should be taken
up by the Legislature as soon as IL meets.

Healthy Bodies Sometimes Envelop Sadly
Disease Morals.

We are so firmly convinced that the
reasonable pursuit OF athetics-that is.
a pursuit that makes only such demands
upon the time and health OF its votaries
as they can afford 10 honestly give
must work for good among all classes
that we are sorry 10 have 10 endorse the
structures which have lately been pub
lshed upon rhe tendencies OF certain
modern athletes
The athlete in England has hitherto
enjoyed a high reputation for purity OF
motive in his struggles. Many OF us
probably those who knew least TO the
most marked degree-have believed that
the chief reward i'm the athletes eye was
the sensation Of honorable distinction in
competition promoted, secondarily,
perhaps. TOR the distribution of prizes or
the gaining Of challenge cups. but pri-
marily for the maintenance by healthy
rivalry Of a high physical standard
But coincidently with the enormous
increase in the popularity Of football
and Of public athletic meetings, there
has come to light the existence Of
widespread tendency TO make the prac-
tice oi athletics source n liylinCod,
and some Of the methods pursued with
that intent go far TO show that the
healthy body OF the athlete may enveiop
a mind in a considerable condition OF
moral disease
This much IS generally conceded what
remains to be found IS a remedy. 1t is
not exactly our province TO suggest eX-
pedlents for the remedy Of this state OF
affairs: but one thing seems to be GER
tain, that the publication Of the run
ming path apd OF toe IOot-ball Held can
only come about by the cooperation OF
the gentleman and the player. In cricket
the paid and the unpaid work together
I'm harmony, and il seems 10 US that the
same spirit ought prevail In other de-
partments OF athletics.
Believing, as we do, that a certain
amount Of game playing is a seryiceable
factor In English education, II Is a mat
ter Of no little concern 10 learn that two
important branches OF athletics have
been seriously tmpeached, and II will
