The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1900-12-30

II a poor young woman wishes to pay
her own way through college by her
work, the United States is the place to
do 1t. When Ihave told people in Eng
land that 1t wcs not at all uncommon
for both young women and men to earn
the money to send themselves to col
lege. these persons were very much
surprised. They told me the thing
would not be possible in Great Britain.
There the poor are so very poor that
the prospect of rising In the social
scale by tueir own exertion is practi-
cally hopeless. ! asked several persons
II they had never known over there a
young woman to work her way through
college. They said they never had.
Then with true Yankee pride | told
them of the Instances l had known Of
that kiud In my country. Years ago l
was very well acquainted with a
brainy. well horn girl who raised crop
of tobacco to foot years bills in col
Iege It was In a middle northern
state. Her father was a great land
owner. but he would not give his
daughter money to get liberal educa-
ton. She resolved to get it herself and
did so. All the work on that tobacco
patch except blowing up the ground
, she did with her own hands, which
were all the stronger and more capable
for IL, and not even silly people thought
any the less Of her. In this Instance at
least tobacco was good thing. ] have
lately read Of a girl who Is paying for
her college course by bee keeping. She
has studied the habits of the bees and
found they are not apt to sting persons
who are not afraid OF them. In sum-
mer she gives up half her time to this
fascinating work. She makes her own
frames aud boxes, thus showing that a
woman can use carpenters tools and
use them well. She has the Improved
hives and machinery for her business
and Is making a good thing out Of it..
| II will not be surprising either after
the young lady shall have thus ingen-
lousy waited herself through a college
course by means of her bees and honey
that she will find there is more profit
! in still sticking to the business than in
becoming a doctor or otherwise enter
ing on a professional course. Mankind
likes honey better than medicine.
Did you ever hear of the woman
who made a fortune in the restaurant
business by placing at the front door
! of her place 4 sign bearing in large
letters the words, mo Home Cooking
Here?
I A new profession for woman has
sprung up. 1t is that of love editor en-
a daily newspaper. The love editor
takes charge of all affairs Of the heart
| for sentimental young women in dis
tress. Since nearly all young women
are sentimental. the profession must be
a lucrative one. Lately one Of these
mourning young female souls wrote
and asked the love editor what TO do
In the case of difference in theology
between sweethearts. One was Cath
| Ole, the other Protestant. The young
man would not marry the girl unless
she adopted his faith, which about
broke her heart, for she did not wish
to change her religion because, mark
you the reason, because my folks
would object" That religious faith
which is dependent on ones folks"
must have struck very deep indeed.
1t is like that of the cook who said in
regard to her theology, Il changes my
religion to suit them as lives with"
