Commander Booth Tucker visited
the Salvation Army colony here last
Friday, it being his first visit since
the establishment of the colony. At
a meeting of the colonists he made
lengthy address in which he express
ed the greatest satisfaction with the
progress made by the colonists this
season. He said the doubt and dis
trust with which the colonization
scheme was looked upon by the peo-
pie in the east from the beginning
has been dispelled, aud now that it
has been satisfactorily shown that
the promoters are in dead earnest
and are bound to make it success,
it is looked upon with favor through
ont the east, and no difficulty will be
met in securing money and lands for
extending the colony in the future.
The success of the colony this their
first year will be the means of
bringing a large number of others
from the east to join them next
spring.
The Commander paid the colonists
a deserved tribute of praise for their
industry, which he saw evidenced on
every hand throughout the colony
Such energy and industry could not
fail of success and it inspired him
with unbounded confidence as to the
future of the colony.
Colonel Evans, who accompanied
the Commander, made very inter
esting speech along religious lines.
The Commander made two promo
tions in the Army while here, ap-
pointing Captain J. Davey and Cap
tain w. Davey to the positions of en-
signs. Holly Chieftain.

Ouida's OpiniOn.

Ouida has been giving her views on
ladies' dress in the New York Cosmo-
politan. OF evening dress she says
''The decollete gown Is unbecoming
to every woman, however perfect of
form and face. The nudity of the
shoulders and bust is out of keeping
with the extreme tightness of the rest
Of the bodice. No grace is possible to
1t, and its general acceptance is forci-
bic proof of how usage and example
warp the taste and deaden the suscep-
Utilities. CorSets are unhappily near
ly universal, but not absolutely so.
The terrible mistake which women
have made is in imagining that for the
female form to be nipped into nothing
In the middle, like an hourglass, has
any beauty in It. 1t can have none. be
cause, as artists have said until they
are tired, 1t is deformity, and can only
form II prototype in the imbecility
which crops dogs ears and horses

Ladies' Home Journal. "They work
this mischief in various ways. They
consider it great fun to step to tele-

young man when he Is at his office
only to send him some unnecessary mes
sage or indulge in some tlippant talk
They are forgetful Of the fact that what
may be rare sport at their end Of the

young men to leave their offices before

THE DOTING MOTHER.

NZorTlI is not naturally self
Y denying. Human nature is
4 strongly selfish, and when girls
are young they have had little chance
to oppose the strength of this inherent
quality, says Mrs. Humphrey. Some
girls, however, are much less selfish
than others, while some are utterly
spoiled. y doting mother is nothing
more nor less than Il selfish mother,
who, to please herself allows her
daughters faults to grow up unchcck-
ed. She fears to he firm, lest she
should lose some Of the affection she
prizes. Could she only know that the
child at a very early age Is distinctly
aware of this weakness and despises IT.,
she would plainly See the awful mis-
take she is making.
Children love best the mothers who
are both firm and gentle. BY sort
of instinct the young ones seem to be
aware of the true seliishness that actu-
ates the parent who battles with their
early faults. 1t Is not the foolishly in
dulgent mothers who win the warmest
love from their girls. 1t is those who
can temper justice with love. Girls
soon know whether the mother Is sway
ed by selfishness or actuated by prin-
ciples. and, with very few exceptions,
they follow in her steps.
Could some of the happy lovers and
happy husbands look back through the
years at the long and patient training,
the loving care, that has resulted in the
complete realization of their brightest
dreams they would find in them guar
antee for the future.
Girls who have not been spoiled by
over-indulgence, and who have been
taught to take a sane, calm, rational
view Of all lifes circumstances, are the
best helpmeets that man can have.
Such one is a delightful companion,
with her cultivated mind and her ready
sympathics. She can enter into his
outside troubles In the battle of life,
and there Is fiber Of strength In her
on which he may safely lean in the day
Of disaster, should 1t come.

Line IIpOu Line.

To the conscientious young mother,
torn between the necessity of adding
line upon line and precept upon prccept"
to her offspring with no apparent re-
suits, and the fear that con, ant irrita-
ton will deteriorate into nagglng, comes
the soothing assurance from an author
ity on children that cline upon line" is
all right and must be followed up. The
structure of the young brain, he de
clares, precludes the possibility of It's
keeping in mind our warnings and in
functions, and repetition is therefore a
necessity.

Girls, Don't Elirt.

Flirting is degrading. and the follow
Ing good advice from an exchange Is
timely: The first question Il man
asks when he sees girl flirting is
whether she IS respectable or not: 1t
raises a doubt at once. This being tho
case, no girl can afford to indulge In
the pastime. When the down is brush
ed from peach its beauty is so married
that 1t can never be restored, and when
u young girl throws lightly aside that
sweet and modest reserve so becoming
to maidens, one which so elevates her
and enables her to command the ro-
spect of all. she loses her great charm
and becomes rather cheap and COM
mon, to use no rash terms. Flirting
may seem to the giddy, thOughtless
girl wonderfully amusing and she may
get the idea that 1t Is fascinating, but
it Is Il most degrading thing and
should be frowned upon by every
young lady who has an ambition to be
