A girl may think she is sisterIy when
she listens to the young mans cry for
sympathy in some trouble, and she
holds his hand and smoothes his hair
and comforts him after this tender
fashion, and he may go away feeling
~comtorted, even as q baby might be
quoted by petting but his moral fibre
has not been strengthened; he has not
been made to feel stronger to do and
dare.
6upposing she had listened with In
terest to his story, and then, without
laying her hands upon him, she had
said, you are a man, a prince, the
son OF a King. You are strong to bear,
brave to do. OBSTACLES surmounted
give broader outlooks. Burdens
bravely borne bring strength. I believe
in you," and then, with q strong,
frm-I had almost said manly-grasp
Of the hand, she had sent him away,
he would go feeling stronger, drawer,
more self-reliant, stimulated, encour
aged, not merely soothed and quieted.
In this fashion a girl may treat a
young man as a brother. She may
tell him his faults in ell kindness. She
may listen to his dreams, ambitions
aspirations, and encourage with ap
prevail, or inCite by gentle sarcasm.
Such friendship may endure vicissi
tude, or separation, and be through
life a source Of truest Inspiration. TO
be such a friend to q noble man is
q worthy ambition. It would prove
the possession of more qualities of
Womanliness than merely to win his
passionate love.-From what a
Young Woman Ought to Know" by

When I was fourteen years old, he

the clerk.

a high partition around it, and push

who was bending over adesk, / turned

have caught the latch was a trif too

"Well, what do you wants"

"OI" said the man with q grunt. He
seemed rather gruf, but somehow his
crisp speech didn't discourage me. ''Sit

looked back at the door.
'It you don't mind" said 1, land if
q little noise won't disturb you, I'll fix
that door while I'm waiting"

Go ahead"
"I had been sharpening my skates
that morning, and the short file I used
was still in my pocket. In a few min

so that the latch fitted nicely. I closed
the door two or three times to see that
it was ali right. When I put my file
back in my pocket and turned round,
thu man at the desk was staring at me.
"Any parentsH" he asked.

to his writing,

srve fund of righteous indignation to

Paso may take time to consider some
of the points that have been suggested
by the great gathering. The one til at
strikes US most foroibly is the fact tn It
the railroads can make or break q
town. The railroads last week brought
into Ell Paso about eight thousand
people. The rate they made was so
cheap that it caused national COM
mont. The roads did everything

. success. They afforded every facility
to tie entertainment committee in the
work of receiving and caring for the
crowd OF visitors. The trains came in
here at Reasonable hours. There was
no hitch in any of the arrangements.
The longer excursion trips around the
state were successful in every way, and
every visitor said he had bad q fine
trip from the start. There was not an
accident to mar the success of the event.
And sci Paso"sswss the name on every
lip, throughout the state Of Texas. and
In many other states. The ad vertising
th1s city got through the aid of the
railroads was worth $780, CO.

rate, while the G. 81. & s. A. went

TITS reported that Bryan is ready
to condemn Mckinley for his present
course In China, for sending soldiers
and instruc ting warships to defend the
Americans against the Chinese. Bryan
has got so int the habit of denouucing
that it must be difficult for him to
refrain, but it is very doubtful If even
Bryan could take such a view as is ore
dited to him. Party managers OF the
coming convention at Kansas City are
advising that iuasnuch as IL would
never do for q nom ent to congratulate
Mckinley on his action or approve of
1t, the convention had best keep pretty
mum just now about China for fear they
may get into the deepest hole there il
in their vicinity. To approve Of their
administration would OF
course mean ruin to demopopulism, but
to censure it just now might mean
worse than ruin-ridioule.
