COLLEGE WOMAN IN HER HOME

Another means by which wo-
cured at home is in making herself
felt as the mistress of the household"
writes Katharine Roich, Of The Col
lege- Bred Woman in Her Home, in
the Ladies Home Journal. "She must
be one to arrange hours of work, and
not the servants, She must be the one
to regulate the habits of the children,
and not they themselves. 1t is for
her to set the standard of the home
life. Her position requires flrmness
and every member of the family
should recognize and yield to her
authority in E2r own domain, Let
her assume with courage and dignity
the authority which belongs to her
so that every one shall feel she is
equal to 1t. while at the same time she
welcomes counsel and suggestion
from others. There are women who
are too ignorant or Indifferent to
guide their homes successfully, and
sihiity. women who are in terror OF
their servants, or slaves to the whims
of children or husbands 1t Is not
so thlt happy homes are made. Just
as man directs the work of his sub
I .1nates and keeps the control of all
i1s business in his own hands, so the
woman who has home to guide must
be ready to assume and control the af-
fairs of her household, Observation
and experience go to show that as the
years bring added responsibility, and
also added comforts to the woman at
home, she finds her restlessness grow
| ing less and her satisfaction growing
deeper. The college recedes to lis
proper place as the academy of life,
and the wife and mother realizes that
heart and mind are filled to the ut
most. Her great anxiety becomes
rather to use all the oppt rtunities
open to her than to wish for others.
She finds herself absorbed in her work
without the feeling that she has been
thwarted in her most serious ambi-
tons"

DEWEY AND THE GERMANS.

version OF newey's lecture 10 the Ger

incident was Sufficiently dramatic, and
has, We believe, never been related.
One night during the blockade Of Man
Tia, after the battle OF May last year,
n mysterious launch was observed to
We creeping inside The hloekading line
towards Admiral newey's flagship. tho
Olympia, The Searehlight was
promptly turned on, and the tres
passer was seen to be dying the Ger
man flag, On feeling the searchlight
the launch should ut once have pulled
to, in accordance with the rules OF
night blockade, Strange craft are,
naturally not permitted TO cruise
around the hmkadlng ships, The
launch, however. held ON her course
without even slowing down, The adj
miral ordered shot ~ be fired across
her bows by way ot warning, She
paid no attention, SO second shot
was fired, stil without result
Thoroughly aroused and anxious

ADMIRAL Dewey did what any serious
sailor would have done In his place:
he ordered the gunner to sink the

but SHE Immediately pulled up and an
American officer was sent ON board to
take possession, The tlVspasser proved
to be one OF Admiral Won nederiohs'
launches with a German lieutenant In

staggering on to tho quarterback Of

elementary lecture on the rules OF

the German complained, You have

for the Spanlards to noat II over n

The German officer then began to

quiet reply. Tell your admiral he can

MORMONS IN GEORGIA.

Oconee county is being canvassed
just now by number of Mormon ell
ders, but they appear to be receiving
but cold comfort. Two of them went
the other day to the home of citizen
OF Oconee to get dinner. That citizen
told them they could get dinner, but
they would have to pay for it. They
said they never paid for what they ate,
as the Lord provided that. The Oconee
county citizen told them to go along,
then, and let the Lord furnish them
dinner. These elders told the country
man that they intended making Oconee
county the headquarters OF Mormon
ism in Georgia. They intended build
ing church somewhere In that county
that will accommodate 1000 people.
They expect to bring large numbers of
elders to Oconee county and to do their
work In Georgia with rush They
have set their hearts on making
Georgia Mormon state. They say
that they now have one man in con
gress and hat some day they will gain
control there and Will then punish all
their enemies Athens (Gal Banner.

persons from all parts OF the adioin-

religious beliefs or chlt2h anesiance,
prepared to attend. II soon became
evident that the four walls of eoun-
try Westinghouse would not suffice to
hold the large numbers that were maxi
ing ready TO go 70 Russellville. The
problem thus presented was solved
by determining 10 hold the meeting in
the open air. Those coming from dis
lance were prepared to camp; II would
be no hardship to them to remain out
of-doors. The recent experience at
Red river had proved this. 1t was not
expected by those who We're coming
that the lodging accommodations at
the village OF Russellville would be
sufficient by any means. Why, there
fore, attempt to house the people?
Prepare camping ground and let the
meeting be a camp meeting. This,
then, was the origin of camp-meet-
ings; and the first one held in America
was on the banks OF the Muddy River
near Russellville, Kentucky. in the
month of August, 1799-one hundred
years ago Not that religious wor-
ship had never before been held in the
open air. but the special feature OF
camping out and the nature Of the
services made the camp-meeting dis
