THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results

properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-

There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to n physician for examina-

Russell Sage Attempts to Collect

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct 1l-Russeu Sage
of New York is seeking to recover money
on some railway aid bonds voted by the
village Of Reeds, Wabash county, which
the supreme court says is out Of exist
ence. The village secured a charter in
1858, which was remOdeled ten years
later and again in 1891 by legislative
enactment In 1895 the remodelling acts
were repealed and the supreme court has
decided that as the result of tinkering
with the charter the village has no cor
porate existence. The village ceased on
February s, 1895, when the repeating act
went into effect
Bonds had been issued by the village
in order TO secure an extension of the
Hastings and Dakota railway. When
the b=snds became due they were not paid
as there was no village in existence
responsible for the obligations. The
bondholders have commenced action
against the township in which Reeds
