The Small Boys Lament.

When dad has worn his trousers out,
They pass TO rother John;
Then mother trims them round about,
And William puts them on.
When Williams legs too long have grown
The trousers fail to hide 'em.
Then Walter claims them for his own,
And slows himself inside 'em.
Next Sans fat legs they close invest.
And, when they won't stretch tighter,
They're turned and shortened, washed an(
pressed,
And fixed for me-the writer.
Ma W rrks them into rugs and caps,
When have burst the stitches
At dOomsday we shall see (perhaps)
The last of dad s old breeches.-EX.

The WESTERN WOMAN,
Her Instrumentality In Extending
Civilization.

dcf lnstrumental1ty In Extending
Civilization.
The woman of the west is the spirit
Of energy. 1t is an inheritance from
her immediate ancestors, who worked
increasingly as founders of states. She
has not yet been seized with the weary
safety of Over-civilizat.on, and feels q
Joy in labor and its fruits. She pre-
fers activity, and if life offers her lcis-
ure, she adopts a child or a career and
works for her self-sought object.
The double task of making a home
and developing the country has been
through her so thoroughly accom-
plished that, with all our vast terri
tory, we have scarcely district that
might truly be spoken of as the from
| tier. This achievement iberates for
other uses the energy of woman, and,
true to the spirit of the times, she
casts about her for career other than
| q domestic one.
Even in the small towns of newly-set-
| tied districts the daughters of the fam
| lily do not settle down to an intermin-
| able round of spiritless housework, but
instead start out with their brothers to
their days work as stenographers,
| typesetters, clerks or teachers, None
are idle or fill the position of lady of
leisure, for such would be companion
less.
The women with genuine business
ability test it in small boat near shore.
and, meeting success, go further to
venture more. The woman with tai
ent or voice migrates to city favor
able for it's cultivation, and the old
profession of teaching has its countless
aspirants, all eager to learn new meth
DDS.
Besides all these there are the young
women who would lead a life of I'M
eventful comfort at home in large
places, but who prefer the hazards
Of self-support in the world to monot-
cny in q smaller sphere; so there comes
day when these too join the army
thronging to the large cities.
The education of books and colleges
is of primary Importance in their minds
Just now, but by and by they will real
ize that the world bcstows more of its
wealth (and that means power) on
those who possess knowledge of men,
and an ability to recognize opportunity
when it is met, and to seize it before it
has fed.
| Another lesson that the girl of the
plains must learn is that manners and
dress enhance what other claims to sue
cess she may possess, and are not to be
despised as evidence of decadence OF
! effetepess. All honesty is not rude, and
polished manner enables one to meet
any man on advantageous ground
while faulty manner is acceptable
only to those whose ways are equally
defective.
The effect of refinement and civiliza.
ton, but making all conform to given
standards, is to reduce all to the same
mold. The woman of the west need
not fear that her rugged individuality
will be thus obliterated, for she lives
too near to natures heart. The free
dom of the plains, the large liberty Of
her native land, have been infused
into her blood, and she will remain as
she is-a woman whose labor is the re
suit of thought, whose opinions are the
result of honest convictions, and whose
love of self is lost in love of mankind
and of countrv.-Harper's Bazaar.

States, and proclaimed by the Presi-

reduced duties, the minimum duties
are to be imposed by France on our
woods, fruits and pork. Reciprocity
treaties with a number of nations were
made under the Harrison admins IA

France, other European nations will
follow. Perhaps the completion of this
treaty will temper the animosities that
have just sprung up between the two
countries.
