And in this republic woman is having
put into her hands the power and in
estimable advantage of liberal educa-
ton. True education is not that any

cyclopedia; but the woman who can

truth at its proper value, is educated.
The president of the Western Reserve
University recently said in the New
York Tribune, that women are fast be,
coming the educated class of the com.
munity. The number of girls exceeds
the number of boys enrolled in all the
high schools. In the primary and gram.
mar grades the percentage is about
equal, but as soon as the high school is
reached the girls increase. In every
New England state, with the exception
of New Hampshire, in all but two OF
the Southern states. and in every West
ern state except Idaho, the number OF
girls who are gathered in the public and
private schools is greater than the
number of boys. The number of girls
too who are continuing their education
in the college grows faster than thu
number of boys. The change made In
the last so or 25 years is revolution
1t was formerly the daughte and sister
of the family who wanted an education

Attention, Farmers !

October is nearly past, but the
wheat-sowing season has not yet ar
rived. The leaves of the forests and
grass of the meadows are still green,
and teeming with insect life. Do not
get restless because some wise acre
tells you that his father or grandfather
knew all about wheat sowing, and al
ways finished by the middle of Octo-
Der. Don't be bamboozled by the
the moon worshipper who believes that
"full moon" in October is the best
time. Wait until you have heard The
first blast of winter blow through the
tree tops, and every leaf has turned
brown. Wait until all insect life is
dormant, then, and not till then, SOW
your wheat.
Most of the early wheat will be dam
aged by the fly, and much of the late
wheat may be damaged also, in conse-
quence of the early sowing which will
prove an excellent nursery to propa-
gate the nuisance. Sow no wheat yet.

Purchased the Business.

Armbrust & Smith are now doing a
general undertaking business, having
purchased of S. II. Ponder his hearse,
license and stock. For some time they
have been selling collins and caskets,
but were not general undertakers.
From this time, however, they will be
able to supply anything needful as I'M
dertakers and funeral directors. They
keep as elaborate line of caskets and
furnishings as one could desire, aud
the prices are most reasonable. This
firm has been in business in johnson
City for several years, selling furni
ture, wall paper, carpets, machines and
household supplies generally, and has
an established reputation that canno
be added to by a notice in these col
umns. The fact that they are now fully
equipped undertakers and funeral di
rectors will be gratifying news to theil
numerous friends and customers.

Comptroller Of the Currency. at Wash.

hurried luncheon in his Office; an I'M
usual occurrence, as it ls his delight to
take an open air stroll shortly after
noon and eat his luncheon with friend
or two at q nearby cafe. The gentle.
man began talking, but the Comptroller
seemed preoccupied, and kept glancing
at the clock and looking out of the win
dow. Finally, turning to the messenger,
he said:
"Frsncis, tell those people that will
be with them in few moments"
Then Mr.. Dawes said to his visitor:

morrow az l have a very important

The little fellows sent up a shrill cry of

happy dozen or more little fellows who
had only dreamed OF seeing the won

A day or two before the coming of
the show Mr.. Dawes had instructed his
messenger to tell the newsboys ana
bootblscks about the Treasury building.

coming to Washington, to be on hand
at certain hour on the day Of the show
