ernors more promptly to repress
strikes by military power.
He shows that the present State
debt Is 81. OS6, 615. II, with annual
interest charges Of $257,725. He
recommends the refunding Of por-
ton Of the debt by long time bonds
at a low interest, and levy OF
three cents on each 800 as a sink
ing fund to pay the debt as it falls
due.
He also recommends a reduction
OF two cents in the State common
school levy, on the grounds that
taxes should be reduced. This
would reduce taxes in the more
wealthy counties, but in such coun-
ties as Dubois il would necessitate
an increase Of taxes four times the
amount Of reduction, or else a great
shortening in the length Of terms of
the common schools rendering
them comparatively worthless in all
the smaller counties. The COURIER
hopes that recommendation will not
be carried out.

the Congressman from this district
voted with the Eastern bankers in
favor Of giving a right of way to
Carlisle's bill Of monstrosities in ia

There can be no excuse for such a
vote. No friend of the common

way to kill such snake as Car

the first chance,-as the true Dem

The Women and the Schools.

Most of the European countries now adj
NIT women to the courses of study in the
universities and allow. them to take de-
grccs Russia and Australia seem the
most hostile to their educational aspira-
lions. but more liberal sentiment is diff
fusing itself among those communities,
and there is no doubt that all of these
Obstructive intcrdictions will soon be re-
moved. and women students in their
schools be placed upon the same footing as
men.
In this country not all of the great
schools are open to our women, but most
of them are, and they have, like their Eng
fish 81 hood, "a splendid array of institu-
tions founded for their special advantage.
They cannot complain of any lack of
educational facilities, and, in fact, the out
look for women in this particular among
all the western nations is as promising
and satisfactory as the most enthusiastic
among them could desire.-New York

THE HOUSEHOLD.
fl Could Keep Her So,

Just little baby lying I'm my arms
Would that could keep you with your baby charms;
Helpless clh gue fingers, downy. golden hair,
where the sunshine fingers, caught from other
where
Blue eyes asking questions, lips that cannot speak,
Roypolly houldt rs dimple in our check
Dainty little blossom in a world Of woe,
Thus fain would kt ep you, for Hove you so.
Roguish little dam, ell, scarcely six years old,
Feet that never weary, hair of deeper gold;
Restless, busy fingers, all the time at play;
Tongue that never ceases talking all the day;
Blue eyes learning wonders of the world about
Here GU come to tell them-w what an eager shout
winsome little damsell All the neighbors know,
Thus long to keep you. for love you So
Sober little schoolgirl, with your strap of books
And such grave importance in your puzzled looks,
Solving weary problems, porting over sums,
Yet with tooth for sponge cake and for sugar plums
Reading books of romance in your bed at night,
Waking up to study in the morning light,
Anxious as to ribbons, deft to tie bow,
Full of contradictions-I would keep on so.
Sweet and thoughtful maiden, sitting by my side,
All the worlds before you, and the world is wide.
Hearts there are for winning, hearts to break.
Has your own shy maiden, just begun to walker
Is that rose of dawning glowing on your cheek,
Telling us in bushes what you will rot speak2
Shy and tender maiden, ould fain forego
All the golden future just to keep you so.
All! the listening angels saw that she was fair.
Ripe for rare unfolding in the upper air.
Now the rose of dawning turns to lily white,
And the close.shut eyeds veil the eyes from sight
All the past summon as kiss her brow
Baby and child and maiden all are with me now.
Though my heart is breaking yet Gods love know
Safe among the angels-1 would keep her so.

The Health.Giying Walk,

One young woman, who had both horses
and bicycle at her command, but who suf-
fered constantly from insomnia, was or
dercd by her physician to walk at least one
mile every day so loath was she to begin
what she considered "such an undertake
ing that her fond parents finally bribed
her by Offering the financial consideration
of 90 cents a mile After six months Of
daily tramps the pedestrian was heard to
say that she had long ceased taking the
bride and had begun TO feel that the walk
was, on the contrary. worth paying for so
great was the benefit received. For girls
who have plenty of leisure it is most
charming pastime to get up pedestrian
parties and visit places Of interest during
the summer tramping for half day, then
resting and recuperating for the morrow.
This method of spending vacation pos
sesses the double merit of improving the
health and leaving the pocketbook in ro-
bust condition.

An Olden Custom.

In maidenhood the hair Of a maiden was
allowed to flow freely over her shoulders.
Not until her wedding day could it be
bound up. Girls in their hair meant the
same as "girls in their teens with us.
Married women could braid and pin up
their hair and adorn it with garlands.
Long hair was mark of the free women.
Any one who should cut it off was pun
ished with death. Heavy fines were i'm
posed upon one who should disarrange a
woman's couture, or "obbo," so that it
came down or upon one who should touch
q maiden's braids
Women sometimes took oaths by placing
their hands upon their braids of hair. Ger
man law prohibited familiarities of any
sort between men and women. The dress
of woman left her neck and arms bare
A heavy fine was imposed upon any one
who should touch her hand, or her arm
below the elbow, still heavier if he touch
ed the upper arm, and heaviest of all if he
touched her neck. Louise Prosser Bates

Those Wasted Moments.

"If could only have the minutes which
my neighbor wastes in saying goodby to
me on the front steps, | should be able to
accomplish great deal more than | do
now" sighed a business woman as she
bowed friend out of sight and sighed in
relief to see her departing.
"Now that ncighbor is one of the dearest
women in the world, and | have warm
affection for her. but l must confess that
she is nuisance at times for she has no
sense of the value of time, and she wastes
many minutes with a prOdigality that
breaks my heart. | can't offend her by
telling her that | am too busy to listen to
her chatter of thousand and one interest
ing things, to be sure, but things which
might as well wait until some more sea-
sOnable time, nor can | work while she is
here and the consequence is that with
my mind half on my work, half on what
she is talking about, l am not so cordial
as she would like me to be, nor do get
the best of her conversation.
Sometimes | have threatened in the bo-
som Of my family to tack up a sign on my
door after the fashion of the country editor
which newspaper funny men have made
familiar to every one, I'd announce to my
callers thai This is my busy day., but
should amend it by saying that all days
from a. m, to p. IN, are my busy days.
l haven't dared ms yet to put my threat in
to execution, but some day l shall do so
whether people like II or not.

tie sermons on the woman who procrasli-
