YOUNG GIRLS LIBERTY.
Years Are n womnn's Protection, and
Youth Is u Time of Danger.

Youth IL II Time of Danger.
The liberty and freedom of action al
lowed young girls of today Is the subject of
a forcible editorial In the Ladies' Home
Journal. That everything in life is tend
ing to make people freer In thought and
action is undoubtedly true, and is a health
ful tendency in the main-healthful for
people OF years and self-control," writes the
editor. But no advantage is without its
Disadvantages. The freer our lives become
along healthful and safe lines the healthier
VIII our minds become. But before we can
saieiy pfoht by these advantages we must
nave lived long enough to know how to use
them and to understand what phases of
them to disregard. Because women are
ireer TO travel alone than ever before IL
does not necessarily follow that 1t Is wise
ana right that young girls should be per-
mitted to travel alone. Here comes the
truth OF the proyerb, that what's one mans
poison Is another's meat The time was
when a woman could not, with self-respect
go TO a place of entertainment unattended
Now she can. But that does not make II
right for a girl to do so. The ehaperon Is
none the less Indispensable to girls TODAY
than she was thirty years ago. She is
really more necessary, for, as things be-
come more and more possible for women,

There are some moutain sections where po-

can be found who do not know the names OF

Chilbowee mountains, and the voter had 10
walk 90 miles to Severville to cast his ballot
When he reached the voting place Democrats
and Republicans offered him tickets.

In THE OLD BARN LOFT.

'Tis thirty years or thereabouts
Since | used to roll and play,
And turn all kinds of srmmersaults
On the fresh and fragrant hay;
A-jumping and a-tumbling
On the hay so sweet and soft,
At my home away back yonder,
In the old barn loft.
How the pigeous used to Flutter,
And strut about and cool
And make love to one another,
Like sweethearts used to do,
While walked the risky crossbeam,
Or clambered high aloft,
With half intent of falling,
In the old barn loft
How l used to frighten sister,
Who was looking for the eggs,
AS l dangled there, head downward,
Holding by my little legs;
And, giving them swing or two,
I'd strike the hay 50 soft,
At my home away back younder,
In the old barn loft.
The twittering of the swallows,
While making homes of mud;
The gleeful game of hide-and-seek,
The slip, the sudden thud;
The pattering of the raindrops
Above the hay SO soft,
Are memories still clinging
To the old barn loft.

Annie DiggS' Project.

Mrs. Annie l.. Diggs, president OF the Kan
sas Woman's Free Silver league, is arranging to
provide a systematic course Of study for all
clubs in the state, and also to have conferences
at frequent intervals during the summer at var
ious points in the state. Mrs. Diggs says:
81 believe that such plan will serve to stin-
late the interest in our organization, and at the
same time build it up. The sentiment is grow
ine every day and am hopeful of far-reaching
results from the work.
"'rhe entire probem.of civilization is based
tpon the conditions of labor Turn to what
ever phase of life or whatever socsal activity
YOU will, and always and ever it will be found
that more or less directly they are related to and
affected by the condition of the toilers or the
craftsmen who create them. This being true,
and it cannot be refuted in debate, attention to
whatsoever affects the fortunes of labor be-
comes the supremest ethical concern of all good
people.
"Another proposition l believe to be equally
irrefutable is that most people desire that good
and not evil conditions shall obtain. The chief
reason why so many things are maladjusted is
the lack of knowledge among men, individually
and collectively.
'"rhe first step toward righting the wrong
things is to Systematically and Thoroughly
study the causes, and then conscientiously and
fearessly seek for the remedy.
"The women of Kansas realize that whatso-
aver affects society, and the homes upon which
social order must rest, is also their concern.
Ourino the coming summer conferences will be
held at various points i'll the state, at which
systematic course of study will be considered
and offered to the numerous Free Silver clubs
and other societies organized for the study of
civic problems.
Mrs. Dggs invites correspondence as to suit
able topics or suggestions for the proposed
course of study.
