cHILDREN's HOME SOCIETY.
The Good Work 1t Il Doing, as old
by Its Representative, e.
A. Powell

HI
Rev. Mr.. E. A. Powell, of Houstonia, Mo-,
who represents the Children's Home So
ciety of Missouri, relates many interest
ing facts relative to the work the society
is doing. 1t depends solely for its sup
port on voluntary contributions from those
who are in sympathy with the work 1t is
doing and it has funds IN han at all times
to do its work. 1t is capable of doing more
work If it had greater funds. Its sole pur-
pose is to take homeless u~nfortunates and
put them where they will have home adj
vantages and a chance for education, and
thus at once relieves the state Of all the
burden. 1t looks only after healthy chill
dren under II years Of age. It is non-sec-
tartan and has been in existence in the
state for a dozen years. Its record of 5000
children put in good homes shows the de-
gree of energy that has characterized its
labors. About a dozen children nave been
recently taken from Kansas City and put
In good homes. Babies left in the hands
OF the society are put in a nursery school
for training and special efforts made to
get them good homes later.
Rev. Mr.. Powell has May Carr, of Lib
erty, for whom he will find a home. Those
who have homes for healthy children can
communicate with him at Houstonia, Mo.
or with d. Ellison. at Ninth and WAN
dotte streets, Kansas City. Contributions
or requests can also be made to them and
they will reply to any inquiries concern.

ciety.

From an ethical standpoint, at the
risk Of appearing paradoxical, will go
so far as to assert that the coquette is
your true philanthropist. To begin
with, she is generally "men's woman
That term Immediately generates a
prejudice in all well-regulated minds,
and yet why should it? Charles Dud-
ley Warner says of her: "She is happy
combination of qualities somewhat diff
ficult to describe" Mrs. Racket says:
"a creature for whom education has
done much and nature more. She has
taste, elegance, spirit and understand
ing" Warner says: "She is all this
ana more. To begin with, she is old
enough to know her world thoroughly,
yet, though she need never have been
beautiful, she must have kept her
youth. She is in no sense a light wom-
On, neither is she over-intellectual; she
would not speak Greek, even if she
could. She is a creature of infinite
tact, whom every outward semblance
of a man interests profoundly. With
him she is always at her best, and she
contrives to get out of him the best
there is. She listens well and grows
sympathetic as she listens. Has he q
special weakness? She half-tempts him
to believe it is virtue. An adept in
the subtlest forms of flattery, she would
force the meanest Of us to shine, even
when he is i'll at ease. And yet, above
all, she remains sincere. Her interest
in him is real and survives the feeting
moment. He is map-that is to say,
the brightest page in natures book.
She respects convention, knowing well
when she may venture to be uncon-
ventional, yet she is unapproachable
and irreproachable. In return he
adores her." George Eliot says: "One's

k.artine an osare Hedge.

A hedge is both useful and orna-
mental, and also adds value to the
farm. In starting hedge, it should be
protected by a fence until the plants
have become of sufficient height to
turn stock. Usage orange, with its
prongs, can be made to keep the small
est animals out of field If it is properly
attended to during the first three years
of its growth. The plants should BIS
cut back severely, or partially cut, and
the branches interviewer, a process
which is tedious but necessary if a close
hedge is desired. The only objection
to hedges is tho fact that they draw
the land and require trimming every
year, but they are cheaper than tsacea
and win last Tor many years.
