The Mother of Heroes.

Margaret Ogilyy voiced the unut-
tered cry in many womans heart
when she confessed, with quaintuess
all aer own, h9w she weHld have liked
it had this or that great man been her
son.
In these days Of Osr naval heroes
these days Of such men as young Hob
son and the seven young volunteers
who went v it'll him-the cry of Mar
garet Ogilvy comes back to us, and
every woman with . YoMan's heart
mugt wish eha could Have been the
mother Of such men, Greatness to be
sure, is not proved alone in the smoke
of battle or IN the dangers of warlike
adventures, but for all that it is in time
Of war that we see the greatest of all
spectacles among men-that Of enc who
counts his Life g e nlatthiqG when he can
lay it d08R for tho sake Of another,
War brings as many evils, but it
gives us many ideas ideas, like guild
ing-stars, to which the new generation
must hitch their chariots or perish
How can the mothers Of today resist
themY How can they lock to anything
else from their sons? How can they
be without that gladness which re-
iOices when son is born into the
world? For Just SUCH PssRihilitiea lie
in their avn babes the gnwelceme
babes, the babes that are dreaded, the
babes that are never talked abOut-as
lay in those who have lived to prove
their greatness today.
Among certain orthodox Jews every
woman locks to the FEASIBILITY of hei
being the mother Of that redeemGr whC
has been promised to her race, and
governs her life in accordance. Per-
haps if among us the possibility of oul
children being built of such heroic

not inherited, is the outcome of habit.
A girl is dainty because she has been
accustomed to give thought and time
to being agreeable to Others. Thus
it comes natural to her. Her wealth
of hair, always so glossy and carefully
trained, owes its satjny appearance to
the fact that she brushes 1T regularly
and frequently, and not solely when
she feels in a mood to do so, or when
she desires to look extra nice. Her
pretty, soft hands, with their she'll
like pink nails, are always in an i'm
maculate condition, for it is her habit
and pride to keep them spotlessly
clean. Her person appears to shed
around her a fragrant perfume, deli
cate, yet quite perceptible. This SUBJ
tie fragrance comes from her dainty
way of putting her dresses into draw
crs which contain sachets Of sweetly-
smelling powder, the scent from
which seems to be part of herself.

Our girls must 5G educated in money
matters, and there is no surer method
than by giving them money of their
own to speno; regular weekly or
monthly allowance given them to
cover certain regulated expenses. It
is only natural that at the start
girl will spend foolishly. To meet this
inevitable experience the amount of
the allowance should be accordingly
regulated. After awhile, however,
when she gets accustomed to the hand
ling of money, she will learn it's value
better and be more judicious in spend
ing it. To give girl an allowance is
not privilege, but her right. To
withhold it is to do her a serious
wrong, and likewise is an injustice to
the man whom she will marry and
whose money she will be intrusted
with to spend wisely. She should have
experience before she reaches that
point, and that experience can only
come to her from her father u an al
lowance of her own while she is his
daughter in his home"

THE GIRLS ALLOWANCE.
1t IL Her Right and, at the Same
Time, Teaches Her the Proper
Use of Money.

Every self-respecting woman, be
she maid or wife, has a natural and
intense dislike to ask her father or
husband for every penny she needs"
says Edward Box, writing in the La
dies Home Journal, on Giving Allow
ances to Girls" ''Nor is the feeling
lessened by the fact that the money
can be had for the asking and is al
ways given ungrudgingly. 1t is the
asking which women dislike. They
justly recoil from it, and men ought to
understand it better than they do.
It should be said that the husband
who refuses to give his wife regular
allowance is rapidly becoming the ex-
ception. But there are still too many
fathers who withhold an allowance
from their daughters. If it be true
that the average girl has no idea of
the value of money, how will she ever
gain better knowledge of it's worth

An Executive Mansion.


The state capitol commission will

mending in its report to the legislature
that the state provide for an executive
mansion for the governor, to be To-

toll building.
1t has been suggested that the stats
purchase the site of the old Merriam
mansion on Merriam's hill, which was
destroyed by fire in 1896, and erect on
it residence for the governor.
The authors of the project urge that
at present the property could be Sc.
cured at merely a nominal figure, and
If a small white house, were erected
on the hill back of the main building,
it would furnish fine relief for the
massive structure of white marble
which is fast assuming substantial
proportions.
The capitol commission would have
no authority to spend any of the appro.
priation for this purpose, and to secure
such building an appropriation from
the legislature would be necessary, as
the functions of the commissioners dc
not extend beyond supervising the
construction of the new building and
authorizing an occasional bond issue
to meet the monthly payments on the
contract.

Newport News, Va, Oct. 5.-Amid the
enthusiastic plaudits of nearly 100000
intensely interested people, the shrill
salutation of steam whistles from
many boats and tugs and the strains
of ''The Star Spangled Banner" the

brilliant success in every particular,
the mechanical preparations being per-
feet and the assemblage of spectators
unprecedented in the history of the

Miss Mamie Letter, of Chicago, was
accompanied by Gov. Tanner, of Illi-

AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE PULPIT.

Women as ministers is the subject of an
interesting article in the Chautauquan by
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw DR.. Shaw
writes without any feeling in the way of
resentment against the churches that ex-
clude women from their ministry. She is
merely telling facts.
By the beginning of the twentieth CEN
fury DR.. Shaw believes there should be at
least 1900 women preaching the Gospel in
the United States. It is claimed by the
United Brethren that it was their denomina-
ton that ordained the first woman in the
Christian ministry. She is Rev. Lydia Sex
ton. Miss Sexton was given holy orders in
1851 and worked in the church as minister
until 1890. But it is generally accepted that
the first ordination of woman was that of
Antoinette Brown, who was graduated from
the theological school at Oberlin in 1850, but
who was refused license to preach. Of
women ordained by the Congregational de-
nomination attention is called to Rev. Annis
Ford Eastman, now assistant to Rev. T. r.

Walker. MIMI, Oct. 4-There will
be no trouble at Bear Island for day
or so.
The council between the authorities
and the Indians called for noon yester.
day was adjourned until noon today.
At noon yesterday it looked as though
the Indians would stay away from the
administration building at the agency,
but towards 4 o'clock they began to
put in an appearance, and at that hou,
the council was called to order by Col.
A. NJ. Tinker, inspector of Indian
agencies, and for one hour the Indians
were given an opportunity to explain
their position and to make known
what grievances they might have.
The council was attended only by
agency Indians and a few from Pine
Point, the latter being generally rec.
ognized as agency. The Bear Island,
Cass Lake and Otter Tail Indians kept
away, Notwithstanding the fact that
the heavy wind which has been blow.
