YOUR FRIEND.

He who understands your silence.
He who considers your need befole
your deservings.
He who to himself is true, and
therefore must be SO to you.
He who, when he reaches the top
of the ladder, does not forget you if
you are at the bottom.
He who is the same today, when
prosperity smiles upon you, and to-
morrow, when adversely and sorrow
come.
He who cheerfully comes in when
all the world has gone out, who weeps
with you when the world of laughter
is away.
He who guards your interests as his
own, neither fatters nor deceives,
gives just praise to your good deeds
and equally condemns your bad acts.
He who rejoices at your good for
tune, symphatizes with your sorrows,
condemns your faults, is at hand to
help in misfortune, and is safe fort
ress in trouble.
He who is the same to you in the
society of the wealthy and proud as
in the solitude of poverty, whose
cheerful smiles shed sunshine in
every company.

YOUNG WOMEN RESPONSIBLE.

In past issue of The Union Signal
appeared an article in which a clergy
man is quoted as saying that the
women are responsible for the low
standard of morals among men.
I have studied this question long
and carefully and under exceptional
ly favorable circumstances, and long
ago came to the conclusion that un-
less the young women of this land
take decided stand we will never
reach our Paradise of pure home life.
I could quote many cases in point,
but two will be sufficient: An erni-
nent minister's son, member of the
church, had contracted taste for
wine. This taste was INDUCED,
guardedly, of course, but it grew I'M
til his affianced heard of it. She
promptly informed him he must
oh Dose between her and wine. He
wisely chose the woman and eschew-
ed the wine and now they are blest
with family and prosperity. Again,
a young woman member of the tenn
perance crusade, well acquainted
with the habits of young men and
abundantly able to detect any Turk
ings of the monster, married man,
of whose evil habits she could not be
ignorant, who has since, more than
once, brought her to Deaths door.
Many times have / asked myself aOhy
did she marry him? 1t has been
abundantly demonstrated that if a
girl cannot convert her lover she will
never be able to convert her husband.
If the Y's will take up this cry for
their watchword and cling to it 'slike
grim death'' they will do untold
good.
The young women of this country
hold the destiny of the young men
and of coming generations in thei
hands. How will they discharge the
responsibility?

SHARP SHOTS.

The man who begins by drinking
some time may end by having to
drink ali the time.
Better stay in bed all day than get
up early in the morning to drink.
Wine opens the damper to let all
the fires of evil in a man burn
There is no sin that a, man inf1amed
with wine may not commit.
When man gets up early in the
morning to drink he is apt to spend
the day in doing nothing else.
Whoever forms the drink habit
gives the devil a mortgage on his
sleep.
The sparkle in the wine is made by
one of the DEVILS sharpest teeth.
When the devil would run his
claws clear through a man and
clinch them on the other side he
makes him believe that moderate
drinking won't hurt him.
A brewers horse fares better than
a drunkard's child.
Appetite for drink is the DEVILS
iron chain on the drunkard's neck.
If angels know what the saloons
are doing it must puzzle them to un-
derstand why God holds the judg-
ment back.
Many a man puts his family in the
dark to help the saloon pay it's gas
bill.
Every moderate drinker is leading
an army of boys toward the pit.
The easiest time to let drink alone
is before the first drink is taken.
Bridget starts her fire with coal oil.
The devil uses alcohol.
If there is joy in heaven when
sinner repents, what happens when a
boy goes into a saloon?
If you would teach children to hate
drink give them the first lesson be-
fore they leave the cradle.
The first glass has the most poison
in it.
A drunkard's throat has no bottom
in it.
The devil agrees with the man who
claims he can drink or let it alone.

The marked characteristic of the
fashions this winter is moderation.
Neither in color, fabric, nor style OF
making is the extreme fashionable,
and SO for once, at least, it is possible
to be strictly in the fashion and still
dress with good taste-the kind of
good taste which does not depend
upon vogue to commend it.
The most marked change from last
season, and the place where modera-
ton is now the only safe ground, is in
the sleeves. The big balloon sleeve,
which seemed SO indispensable to
every costume a year ago, has COM
pletely disappeared. One wonders
what has become of all last years
gowns; bnt the wonder ceases when
one visits dressmaking establish
ment and finds it simply flooded with
last years. waists waiting to have the
sleeves made smaller The change is
more sudden than it was few years
ago from the tight sleeve to the large
one, because it is always possible to
make a large sleeve smaller, while
many of the small ones could by no
means be worked into anything larg-

The drainage into wells is often
very bad, with the result of typhoid
fever and many other germ diseases.
On account of this danger, DIR. Koch
suggests that an iron tube two or
three inches in diameter-with it's
lower end perforated-be placed in
the center of the well, and the sur
rounding space filled with fine gravel
up to the highest point of water level.
This is then covered with sand to the
top of the we'll; and pump attached
to the end Of the tube makes a very
effective tube we'll. All water passing
through the layers of sand and gravel
is effectively filtered, and the nitrify
ing organisms change the filth into
harmless nitrates. A filter bed like
this removes, too, from eighty to
ninety per cent of the bacteria, and

OF all the cares that beset the path
of the housekeeper of moderate
means, the weekly mending is the
most trying. The old rule that one
likes to do what he does well is no
less applicable to mending than to
other things, and the lack of know
ing how to mend is at the root of
much of the distas e for it. Another
and most potent cause of it's being a
bugbear is holding the pernicious
idea that each weeks mending must
be done by Saturday mig ht. Don't
harness yourself to any such load.
Take your mending leisurely. Is the
washing late and Johnnie's under
wear in fearful state of dilapida-
ton? Lay it aside for careful repair
ing early in the next week, and turn
with feeling of comfort to your
other mending. Do only SO much
mending weekly as you can do thor
oughly. By steadily pursuing this
plan you will find the mending pile
growing smaller every week and your
disposition toward it much more
amiable.

smiled at his own joke and went back
to his scat on the spool of wire when
Philip told the driver to turn down into
the manufacturing district.
In the space between the railway and
the river the air Of desolation was even
more oppressive than in Broadway.
Tall chimneys standing guard over
many-windowed factories whose walls
had never vibrated with the jar of the
expensive machinery left to rust and
crumble within them; piles of costly
lumber warping and twisting in the
weather; rows of cottages built for the
operatives, tenantless now, save for an
occasional family of negroes living
rent-free in the industrial desert. 1t
seemed like dissertation to break the
silence. and neither of them spoke until
the carriage had reached the bisecting
street of the old town.

said Philip, "and fancy it has gone

This is Catron's store, and the place

The exclamation pointed at slim
figure standing before q doorway over
which swung a faded sign bearing the
inscription "Simon Pragmore, Notary
Public" The figure lifted its SLOUGH hat
at sight of the carriage and its occu-
pants, and out of its sallow and immo-
bile face came the courteous saluta-
ton: Good mawnin, Misteh Thorn

said Helen, little later.
Philip was wrestling with a ghost of
Indignation. "Of course it is; and to

When they had passed the dsmantled
Johannisberg, with its once beautiful
lawn grown up into weedy desert,
Philip pointed to last summers corn-
field across the Little Chiwassee.
THAT was Chiwassee-by-the-Stream in
my day." he said. Lots sold over there
for $3.50 front foot"
The old negro pulled his horse into
an unwilling trot and the carriage
rolled around the shoulder of Johns
mountain in cloud of yellow dust;
the ruined street suddenly became a
quiet country road, and the dead city
lay behind them. An hour later they
had climbed the spur bounding the
Scotchman's farm, and Philip pointed
out comfortable stone farmhouse
nesting against the sloping bosom of
the mountain.
