Kentucky Endeavorers have been es-
pecially active in the work for the pris-
oners, and now two new societies have
been formed at the branch State prison
at Eddyville.
Philadelphia has unique Christian
Endeavor society, comprising the work
ers in the Sunday Breakfast association.
No other society has such record. Last
year 1913, S77 persons attended the meet
ings, of whom over 63, 900 were given
charitable meal; 6,546 persons went
forward for prayer.
Greetings were received from the
United society from Texas. Iowa, Chi
ma, India, Ireland and all the Austria
liam colonies, at the New South Wales
Christian Endeavor convention. Truly
''all We are brethren.
With the American passion for brevi-
ty people commonly speak Of the En-
deavor society. May it never become
that. If part of the title must be drop
ped, let it be "Endeayor, that the
"Christian" may be retained. We are

meaning of tho Word .omaha..

The name Omaha bears testimony
to the long journey of the people, and
reveals some Of the causes which brought
about this breaking up into distinct
tribes. 1t is composed of two words,
which signify "going against the cur
rent or up the stream. The Omahas
were the people who went up the
stream, while the Quapaws, their near
of kin, went, as their name reveals,
with the current, or down the stream.
The traditions of both these peoples say
that the parting occurred during hunt
ing expedition, each division finally set
Ting in the lands whittier they had
wandered apart. This epoohal hunt
must have been centuries ago, for the
Quapaws bore their descriptive name in
1910, being mentioned in the Portu-
guese narrative of De Soto's expedition
as then living on the Arkansas river,
where they dwelt until 1889, when they
coded their long occupied lands to the
United States. Alice G. Fletcher in

GIRLS VALUE PURITY IN MEN.
The Exceptions, Who Wed Men Of the
World, Always Repent of 1t.

The Exceptions, Who Wed Men Of the
World, Always Repent of 1t.
A youuQ man writes to Edward W.
Box inauiring why SO many girls seem
to prefer the company of young fellows
of slightly blotted character-men who
have seen the woodland in many cases
marry them, in face Of the fact that
their past lives are known to them. In
The Ladies' Home Journal Mr.. Box, its
editor, makes this reply: "Glrls-that
is, the right kind of girls-do not prefer
the company of young men of this sort.
Doubtless, you have come across IN
stances where this rule has been other
wise; so have I. But it is all in the
seeming, and not in the reality. Depend
upon one thing-girls have as high an
estimate of purity in man as men have
of purity in woman.
''There are, of course, cases to the
contrary, but these are few. Where girls
marry men who are known to have led
what is called a worldly life, it is
more generally due to a misunderstand-
ing of facts or to ignorance than people
imagine. There is a type of girl who
finds peculiar satisfaction in the con-
quest of a man who has seen the world
and then comes to her as the one woman
of all her sex who can make him happy
This sometimes pleases her vanity and
love of conquest, but she is not many
years older before she discovers that she
has satisfied those feelings at a very
high cost.
''There is another type of girl who
rather fancies man who is what is
called fast. But that sort of girl is
painfully ignorant Of what is meant by
that word as applied to man. If she
were not, she would be very apt to
change the adjective to vulgar. And
as she natures she finds this out. 1t is
only young men of upright lives who
can hope to win the favor and love of
girls of high motives, the girls who
make the best wives. If, at times, girls
seem to favor young men of another
kind, the glamour is simply transitory.
1t is rare, very rare, that girls better
instincts do not lead her to the higher
grade of yonng men. An upright life
never fails of reward, and of the highest
reward, from the hand of woman

Points to Consider.

A revival that abides never comes to
the person who is afraid Of the whole
truth.
When Christians quarrel together, sa-
tan receives no blows, with one &C.
cord, )" is tho first condition OF pente-
cost.
If the devil can set q man TO CRITICS
ing the minister, he removes him long
way from the thrust of truth.
Some Christians need, most of all, the
knowledge that they are dead to things
spiritual.
1t does not take great crowd and a
celebrated speaker to create revival
Christ and convicted soul are enough.
The word in the heart and Bible in
the hand are oil to revival fires.

HOW INDIANS MEASURE TIME.
They Fix Their Dates by Sleeps and Moons
and Winters.

They Fix Their Dates by Sleeps and Moons
and Winters.
Our Indians measure time solely by
days, by sleeps, by moons and by win
tiers. The Indian has no name for any
subdivision of time less than day.
When he desires to indicate a shorter
period, he points to the heavens, and
measuring off a space says, ut was as
long as it would take the sun to go from
there to there" A day is from daylight
to darkness. "sleep," or night, from
dark to daylight. He has no name for
any day, nor has he any subdivision of
time corresponding to our week. A
moon commences with the first streak
of the crescent in the west and lasts I'M
til the next one appears, but the days of
the moon are neither numbered nor
named. From winter to winter" is
the nearest approach he has to our term.
The year commences with the first fall
of snow. An Indian will tell you he is
SO many winters old, but having no
months or days he never has birthday.
The Indians who formerly inhabited
the southern part of Texas, where there
is no snowfall, are said to have fixed the
commencement of the year at the first
''norther, furious and chilling wind
that sweeps from the north and is Of fire.
quent occurrence during the winter
months.
No year has any name or number fix
ing sequence or point of reference, but
each band will designate year by its
most prominent occurrence, as fight
with hostiles, death of chief, preva-
lence of disease, abundance or scarcity
of food, or failing anything marvellous
or striking by the name of the stream on
which was located the winter camp.
But these are mere remembrances, and
excellent as is the Indians memory
they, after few years, fade into a
tumble of disconnected facts without
sequence or usefulness. Cincinnati En-
quirer.

1 dreamed 1 had plot of ground,
Once when l CHANGED asleep to drop,
And that green hedge fenced it round
Cloudy with roses at the top.
1 saw a hundred mornings rise
So far a little dream may reach
And spring, with summer in her eyes,
Making the chiefest charm Of each.
A thousand vines were climbing Ger
The hedge, thought, but as tried
To pull them down for evermore
The flowers dropped off the other sidei
Waking, said, '0These things are signs
Sent to instruct us that tits ours
Duly to keep and dress our vines
Waiting in patience for the flowers"
And when the angel feared of all
Across my hearth its shadows spread,
1.-THE rose that climbed my garden wall
Has bloomed the other side" said.

of the Union Park society of Chicago
recently held social for the sole pur-

thrown open to all the society, but a
carefully selected number of Endeavor-

tanned the names and addresses of all
the guests, and set the active Endeavor-
ers to work interesting the outsiders in
the society, with such success that sew

With idle mischief when she smiled.
Today she passed me in the press,
And, turning with quick surprise,

wondered at her altered eyes.

The people and the city's stir,
But life had kindled into flame,
And all the world was changed for her.
