Hsw Country Cousin Made Miserable 4
Newly Made man About IOWA.
When an adaptive young man from
the far corner Of some New England
or western state lives for . time IN
New York, and sbsorbs enough Of ita
atmosphere to gain the prestige Of q
regular boulevardier, It's pretty hard
now and again to have old times thrust
upon him In the person Of . primitive
cousin or brother-in-law, whom he Il
bound In conscience to entertain. A
case Of this kind occurred last week,
In which the artless relative saw moth
Ing but . scresmingly funny lapse Of
memory, while the man about town
found I modification therein which
was pretty hard to live through.
A complete deliverance Of the bump
kin Into the hands Of the outAttsr made
him prssentsble, and then there was
the little bachelor dinner at . Fifth

the smart men, who wanted ITO meet
your cousin, don't you know"
All went merry until the wine list
came forth. To be sure, the pumpkin
talked too loud and refused to under.
stand any monitory wink, but then he
said nothing too badly out Of place.
"What wine will you have?' said the
cousin, addressing him.
"Hswl hawl don't know, Cousin
Dick, anything about the wine. You'll
have to settle that yourself"
shall we begin on bottle Of Sau-
terne?"
"Lordy, how can tell Anything
you likel" shouted the red-cheeked,
bullet-headed youth, who couldn't
make head or tail Of the winks and
looks Of deadly warning emanating
from the swell's eye.
People at adjoining tables pricked up
their ears In amused curiosity, while
the guests Of the table looked triae
disconnected at the pumpkins noise.
"What, said the swell, firmly plant
Ing his index finger on the word
"Medoc," and glazing at the youth
mesmerically, SO that he might under.
stand and repeat It, do you generally

stretched out at full length and roared
satisfactorily for about Ave minutes,
while sense Of frozenness stole over
his cousin and the swells looked on In
amused pity.

"The veterans saved the country

particular part Of 1t again." 1t was
indeed cheering sight to the vet
Grams and everyone else to see the
longed-for showers pouring down
upon the parched land. All rejoiced
that it was SO, Notwithstanding the
fact that it lessened the attendance on
the services.

however. The morning was devoted
to decoration. The G. A. II. post,

filled, the G. A. X. attending in a
body. Flowers and flags ornamented
the stage and Post Commander Mes
senger presided. After the opening
exercises and reading the death roll
by Adjutant Anderson the speaker Of
the day, Hon. Edward c. Little, was
introduced and delivered a most elo-
qucnt and patriotic address. II was
Mr.. Titles first formal Grafton in
this city and all were more than
pleased with the thrilling word pic
lures, the charming oratory and the
earnest thought that permeated the
address. 1t wasa laudation Of the
art Of war; the sword was declared
mightier than the pen and history
furnished the speaker with striking
examples Of the truth Of the words,
1.-THE noblest death that man can die
is when he dies for man." Nothing
less than printing the address could
do 1t justice and Mr. Little and
his friends have reason to feel proud
OF the effort.
A selected choir furnished music
and Rev. DR.. Blayney pronounced the

A Word to Country Girls.


The constant influx Of girls from tho
country into our large cities brings
with 1t portentous dangers and evils
Dreaming Of self-support and an easy
time, good wages, better wardrobe
and more congenial companions; daz-
zled with the vision Of city amuse-
ments, and hoping perhaps to find .
manageable partner, and settle down
into q comfortable city home, thou
sands leave the farm or the village, and
flock to the metropolis. Here many Of
them confront q situation far different
from that which they imagined in ad-
vance Of their actual experience Of city
life. The wages they get are meager;
their lodgings are far from comforta-
BILE; they have no home life; they face
new temptations and trials, and their
life becomes one Of hardship and
trouble. In the store, factory, shop or
Office they are beset with danger and
annoyance, while all about them arc
pitfalls spread for unwary feet. Some
Of them, with unusual aptitudes
for stenography, typewriting and
kindred occupations, or with Ane
executive gifts, make their way
to the top, and secure Arst-class
posts; but a great multitude struggle
and almost starve on five or six dollars
a week. This latter class are not able
to save any money; q weeks illness
brings them into debt, and q month
without employment renders them OBJ
jects Of charity. How much better II
would be for most Of them were they
to stay at home, help In the household,
or accept such work as might be avail
able on the farm or in the village. Our
large cities now contain thousands OF
girls In sorry plight, either without
employment or struggling for bread
girls who might have remained in com.
fort at home, or who could have found
work Of some sort in country town To
support them, with less cost Of
strength, nerve power and vital force
to say nothing Of the dangers which
now beset them in the city. What a
kindness It would be to thousands who
are heedlessly plonning to rush city.
