What selfrenunCiation and heroic purpose
was thisi They drowned witches to be sure
but that was no part Of their puritanism. 1t
is to the puritan women we owe so much for
that spirit in our people which gives them
the fortitude to esdure hardship and stake
life and fortune for their convictions
The American women of to-day have the
spirit Of their puritan mothers, but their
constitutions are not rugged or able To en-
dure half the hardships of these New Eng
land ancestors. Very often they are run
down with weaknesses and irregularities
peculiar to their Sex and the constant drain
upon their vitality makes them chronic III

their family physician, because they dread
the local examinations so generally insisted
upon by practitioners.

called for order and requested Super

& neat speech, in behalf of the Weber
county teachers, he presented the su-
perintendent an elegant gold watch, as
a token of the esteem in which he is
held by the teachers, and as a mark
OF their appreciation for his earnest
labors as superintendent of schools.
Superintendent Hall was completely
overcome by this unlooked-for event,
but recovered sufficiently TO thank the
teachers for the honor conferred upon
him, and for the hearty support which
they had always given in helping to
raise the standard of the schools. Prac-
tically all the county teachers contrib
uted to buy the watch, which was
