William Bean, who lad erected there
his cabin in the summer of 1869, which

Robertson returned and gave such a

THEIRS BY RIGHT.
An Allowance in Cash Is Not q Nero
Privilege But "A Duty Par
ents owe to Girls.

If ii be essential and necessary that
girls should be well acquainted with all
matters connected with the manage
ment Of money, then there can be no
better method adopted for enabling
them to become thus acquainted with
those matters than by granting them
weekly or monthly allowance of such
amount as their parents or guardians
may be able to afford. But if such an al
lowance is granted it should be given to
cover certain specified expenses, such
as dress and other personal necessities.
An allowance is not mere privilege,
but in certain sense, girls right. To
withhold it is an injustice not only to
the girl, but to the man whom she may
marry and whose money will be intrust-
ed to her care to spend wisely. Indeed,
it might be said without hesitation that
it is fathers duty to see that his
daughters not only understand the
value of money, but the difficulty of
earning the same.
1t was the poet Young somewhat
dismal and lugubrious author, who told
us in his might Thoughts" that 1--WE
take no note of time but from its loss
and to this may be added that they only
know the value of money who have not
got any. A girl who caters for herself
will have an opportunity of showing her
individual taste, and it gives her feel
ing of self-reliance.-Chicago Daily

They crossed on their journey this part
of the country now known as the Cum

an open prairie with scarcely tree to

the coolest ever known in this coun-

and Robertson and his party crossed
with their cattle and baggage upon the

NEW ORLEANS SOCIETY.
They Who Are Once Received BY 1t
Never Forget the Charm of Its
Perfect Social Life.

The question that confronts the
Creole to-day" writes Harrydele Hall
mark of social life in New Orleans, in
the Ladies' Home Journal, sis, Will the
money of the Americans rule the city
socially in the beginning of the TWEEN
tieth century, While money rules less
in New Orleans than in any other city
of its size in the United States, still a
certain amount is absolutely necessary
for person to keep up the exterior of
a gentleman's position. Yet people of
good family and very limited means do
hold the best social positions, because
they have learned to give up the chaff
and spend their money on the wheat.
Again, people of no influence, as New
Orleans counts it, but who have plenty
of money, tact and social qualifications,
can obtain and have obtained good
standing. Blood and money together
are good; money and retirement are
not specially favored condition. as are
the two others, for storming New Or
leans society; but any of the three
qualifications alone would have hard
time of it. Narrowing it down, it re-
mains that money alone cannot enter
New Orleans society to-day; refinement
alone cannot, but blood-well, it has
held and does held the lead. The at
mosphere of New Orleans society, as
this century draws to close, is con-
spicuously Partisan in manner, ardent
ly American in loyalty to the old flag,
warm hearted to the visitor, reserved
in its inner life, pleasure-loving and
childlike in its gayety. 1t offers to one,
in it's social as well as its physical life,
the heart of a ripe, red pomegranate.
He who tastes never forgets the charm.
He never forgets the redrroofed houses,
the chimes of cathedral bells, the en-
tresol where lives la Belle Creole, the
folk songs on guitar, the melodious
swing of French voices, no. the dark,
luxurious beauty of the women"

Managed Husbands Worthless,

principle" she adds, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. "for both husband and
wife to adopt in adjusting themselves

to do each by the other what men are
accustomed to call the square thing
Many woman understands managing
husband better than she does doing
the square thing by him. and many a
man understands and practices doing
the square thing by other men who
would be affronted If he were to be told
that, judged by his own business stand

Morning Breatbinr Exercise.

Do you want chest without hollows
and neck firm and round? Take
breathing exercise. Every morning as
soon as you awake put on warm
dressing gown and warm slippers
Stand before an open window and
breathe in deeply. Count mentally as
you inhale. A breath taken while you
count 20. one held while you count 20,
or one expelled while counting 90, is
long one. Take six every morning.

For Fighting Trusts.

Gov. Jos. d. Sayers, of Texas, has
written Gov. McSweeney. as follows:
Dear sir: After much reflection,
have concluded that it would not be
improper for me to suggest that con-
ference OF the Governors and Attorney
Generals of the several States and ter
ritOries to be held to consider the
effect, which tho formation of trusts is
having upon the country, and if pos
sible, to agree upon a character of leg
islatiOn that will not only force those
now existing into dissolution, but will
also prevent their further creation. !
am firmly of the opinion that if as
many as twenty States can be induced
to adopt uniform policy in reference
to this generally admitted evil, and
will enforce such policy with firmness,
impartiality and vigOr, relief will surely
and quickly follow. 1t cannot bedOubt-
ed that IL this matter State action is
necessary and that uniformity in the
enactment and enforcement of legis-
latiOn indispensable. l have, there
fore. to respectfully suggest to your
raj of your State, that conference of
the Governors and Attorney General
OF such States and Territories as may
see proper to attend, be held ut st.
Louis, On Wednesday, the Goth day of

taking such action as may be deemed
proper respecting the subject matter of
