A NOBLE WOMAN.

In the death of Miss Francis f..
Willard the world has lost noble
sponsor and earnest advocate of
everything that was for the better
mcnt of the human race. As nation
al president of the W. c. /. t. since
its inception she was a grand exam
pie OF self-sacritice and the most sub
lime sincerity in her cffectual war
fare against the evils that drag
humanity from mans noble estate
Always on the side Of right and us
tice, her luminous personality ever
stood forth as an ideal American
working with might and main for
God and country. In her own words
her liberal policy was mo sectarian-
ism in religion, no sectionalism in
politics, no sex in citizenship" Her
enemies were the foes of the human
race; her life and love We're given to
all mankind.
Miss Willard was remarkable
woman in many ways. and possessed
rare attractions as all who have heard
her can attest. In early womanhood
possessing bountiful charms and So
cial graces, she ignored the blandish-
ments Of worldly prefermcnt, and
set earnestly to work in the cause Of
which she has been the head and front
since 1874. ALWAYS seeking to bring
sunshine into the dark bvways Of life
she selected the bow of white ribbon
as the emblem of the movement she
generated, and in death it Is only this
beautifully simple color that is to
mark the sorrow that has been
brought to millions of homes through
out the world by her loss. From
prison cells as from national cOlln-
ell chambers, from novels as from
mansions, will be heard the voices Of
honest regret at the death of this
fair lily of true womanhoOd. the
memory of whose noble work will be
an inspiration to generations still
unborn.
The world may be slow in giving
full recognition to the noble char
acters whose efforts are ALWAYS for
the amelioratiOn of earthly distress,
but such lives are not allowed to
pass into the mysterious beyond
without receiving a full need Of
praise. In the death Of Miss Will
lard, the press Of all denominations
and of all shades of politics speak
with but one patriotic voice of the
good she has done.-Pris0n Mirror.

Just Before the Millennium.

When the grasshoppers cease to
hop and the old COW quits her baw-
ling; when the fishes no longer flop
and the baby stops its squalling;
when the DINNERS no longer dun and
the boot owl quits its hooting; when
rivers ever cease to run and the
burglar stops his looting: when the
vine no longer twines and the lark
stops its larking: when the sun no
longer shines and the man quits his
sparkling: when the heavens begin to
drop and old maids stop advising,
then it is time to shut up shop and
quit advertising. Felicity (Ohio)
