brother, who assumed the government, objected
to her charietIes and issued orders against

to the poor she was met by some suspicious per-
SONS, who demanded to see what she was carry

something new. 1t is an omnivorous creature
but it wants change constantly. Keep as
quiet as you can. Keep out of mems way as
much as you can, for it is trespassing to go on
private property. Keep yourself in good health,
good spirits, and good clothes, and don't try
to be good fellow or one of the boys. Save
half of your earnings. Go to church. Be
agreeable, but reserved; and if some honorable
man offers you his name and his protection.
give it all up, marry him, and devote your
energies TO home making. Tire business world
is no place for woman. It is rough place,
and people have to get rough to succeed in it.
