The sturdy oak and clinging vine" are
out Of fashion now;
The modern maiden stands alone, with Lri-
umph on her brow,
She buff-ts bravely with the world, sho
fares as best she can,
She gayly makes her way through life with
out the help of man.
Her broken yoke of servitude she trsmples
meath her feet,
Her ancient tyrant she denies and finds
her freedom sweet
Yet sometimes when the road is hard, and
things look rather black,
The independent woman's thoughts insist
on barking back.
The sheltered life seems very fair amid
earth's crowding ills.
And rsstiul the old fashioned plan-a man
to pay the bills!

Disease never asks concerning a mars

or swayed by favoritism. He is past all
bribery, and has no compunotions, but goes
where he is sent.
The millionaire may give his child q
gilded crutch, but it is just as truly crutch
as that of the poor mans boy. A crutch is
always crutch, anG neither poverty nor
wealth can make it less.

Mummy valued at $l100; and over 5000

Sometimes one hears temperance peo-
pie talking about men putting that into
their mouths which steals away their
brains" If most people could just reverse
that, and put into their brains tnat which
would steal away their mouths, we would

A certain church room in this town
was so crowded last Sunday night that the
door could not be opened. The church is
q frame building, heated from the base
ment; the church room is the second floor,

high steps from the outside; the door

building, at that time, would probably
have resulted in some fatalities.
