and no favor. Give her standing room
and she will prove her ability to maintain
her ground.
The next thing to be spoken OF is
rather more delicate. | do not like to
say that the business girl should always
be consciously on her guard about her
behavior. because her behavior should
be habitually so above criticism that
conscious guard would hardly enter into
it. But girl thrown daily and freely
into the company of men. both married
and single, necessarily obliged to spend
hours with some who may not be so hon
orable as the right-minded and chival
rous Christian gentleman is, always and
everywhere, needs to have high ideal
and to live up to it.
1t is safe for such girl never to accept
even seemingly innocent attentions, and
even unimportant gifts from an employ
er, or fellow associate in the business
house. To the girl, weary with the rou-
tine of the Office, it looks like pleasant
break when a dignified or agreeable
masculine friend, whom she sees every
day. invites her to go to luncheon with
him, or suggests an afternoon excursion
on half-holiday. The thing, however,
is not iustifiable. and often indulgence
in what is apparently perfectly inno-
cent pleasure leads to misunderstanding
and unhappiness. 1t is good rule for
the business girl never to go anywhere
or do anything in any company concern
which secrecy is enjoined or tacitly i'm
piled. Let the young woman keep the
line of her friendships and intimacies as
a separate matter, known and approved
of by her home friends, and not mixed
up with the duties and obligations of
her office or store.-Margaret E. Sang

In most instances colds are the result
of imprudence or a lack of forethought.
Even in cases where a sudden change in
the weather or an unavoidable exposure
is responsible for the first slight cold,
fresh and more severe colds may be
avoided by observing little care. But
"a mere cold - is such a common thing
and causes so little inconvenience that
Notwithstanding all previous experiences
we neglect to take the most simple pre-
cautions, in the way of wearing suitable
clothing, the avoidance of draughts, etc
One should always bear in mind the
necessity of exercising a constant vigil
ance to avoid catching cold. When the
temperature in the house is higher than
out of doors, never go out without put
ting on an additional wrap. Never sit in
a cold room even though you do not feel
chilly. And it is better TO suffer little
discomfort from wearing heavy under
clothing than to run the risk of a chill.

Sicily Island, La, graphically illustrates
the distressing consequences that are IL

For His Mothers Sake.

The florists boy had just swept some
broken and withered flowers into the
gutter, when ragged urchin darted
across the street. He stopped over the
pile of mangled flowers, and, looking
them carefully through. came at last
upon a rose seemingly in better condi-
ton than the rest. But as he tenderly
picked it up the petals futtered to the
ground, leaving only the bare stalk in
his hand.
He stood quite still and his lips quiz
cred perceptibly. The florists boy. who
had been looking at him severely felt
that his face was softening. What's
the matter with you, anyway?"h he asked
The ragged little fellow choked as he
answered: Its for my mother. She's
sick, and she can't eat nothin', an l
thought if she'd a flower to smell it
might make her feel better"
just you wait a minute" said the
florists boy, as he disappeared. When he
came out upon the sidewalk he held in
his hand beautiful half-opened rose,
which he carefully wrapped in tissue
paper. "There," he said, take that to
your mother"
He had meant to put that rosebud on
his mothers grave, and yet he knew he
had done the better thing. "Shell I'M
derstand." he said to himself. "and l
know this will please her ost."-Se-

BEDTIME.

Three little girls are weary,
Weary of books and of play;
Sad is the world and dreary,
Slowly the time slips away.
Six little feet are aching,
Bowed is each little head,
Yet they are up and shaking
When there is mention of bed.
Bravely they laugh and chatter,
just for minute or two;
Then, when they end their clatter,
Sleep comes quickly to WOO.
Slowly their eyes are closing,
Down again drops ev'ry head,
Three little maids are doing,
Though they're not ready for bed.
That is their method ever,
Night after night they protest,
Claiming they're sleepy never,
Never in need of their rest;
Nodding and almost dreaming,
Drowsily each little head
Still is forever scheming
Merely to keep out of bed.

CHRONIC ECZEMA.
Was Tortured for Years by This Dreadful
Disease.
No Trouble with Eczema Since Being
Cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla.

There is hardly any blood disease which
causes more intense suffering than &C.
zema, which effects the victims with
itching and burning of the skin, so that it
seems at times to be literally on fire. The
following is not an unusual case of &C.
zema:
"Conpeaut, Ohio, Aug. 81, 1896

Gentlemen II have been badly afflic-
ted with chronic eczema for over five
years, and have tried great many RENE
dies. At times | would seem to be nearly
cured and then the disease would come
back as bad as ever. l could not do any
work that was heating, such as washing
or ironing. | could not be out in the sun
OF get warmed up in any way, as it aggra-
waited the disease. Last March l began

A WORD TO BUSINESS GIRLS.

A host of girls are employed in bust.
saleswomen as stenographers. as clerks
in Offices or assistants in counting rooms,
young girls are entering upon careers of
industry, and occasionally of money
making, as their brothers do. Their
bright, alert faces. their gentle voices
and dainty costumes quite transform
dingy places of business, and old-fash-
Toned people own that a new element
has been introduced. into commercial
and professional life. with the very gen
eral employment of women.
A girl, beginning her business life,
should determine to be prompt and
thorough. equally with young man, if
she expects days wages for days
work. She must give the full measure OF
her day. not shipping off a few minutes
here and few minutes there.
She must finish up whatever she I'M
dertakes. Our sex are so quick that we
sometimes fall short by reason of our
flashing and snatching at things, instead
of going to the heart of them. In bust
ness, loose ends cannot be tolerated. A
girl is held as strictly to account for
every error as is her fellow-employee.

please readers old and young. AMI viii be es-
pecially interesting to all who are interested in
the early beginnings of society in the West.
In Waiting on Destiny" the author provides
for girl readers a well-written and healthful
story of early Wisconsin life when that State
was on the frontiers of the great West. The
whole tone of the book is pure ana elevating,
and no young girl can peruse its genuinely in

Deputy Sheriff Sumter County
Sumter, S G., January l6

The above letter appeared in the Columbia
Register of Sunday, and, although not re-
quested to do so, it is reproduced in order
that Mr.. Gaillard may have all the benefit
possible from his explanation 1t is rAthe r
strange tha. Mr. Gaiiard should seek paper
10 another city IN which 10 make his de-
fence, VIXEN the columns of the Sumter
papers have never heen closed against him.
It is especially strange in view CT the fact
that he came 10 the editor of this paper some
days ago and asked where the information
that he struck Simon Cooper from the rear
was obtained, anG Was told that the editor
was an eye witness and ga W the blow struck.
Mr. Gailard may possibly be correct in bis
belief that he struck the negro fron, the front,
and if the writer is lahorirg under niscop.
cep,ion Of the circumstances, it is strange
that 30 many others who were present we're
eflicted with the identic4l optical Illusion at
the time Cooper was struck. The writer re-
lated the facts as he saw them, without fear
or favor, and, while he does not lay claim to
iufallibility, yet he is reasonably certain that
he Was correct in his statement as to Deputy
Sheriff Gaillard's position, especially as so
many others agree with him, and the state
ment has never heen questioned, to his
knowledge, save by Mr Gaillard himself.
