Women Herrnits I'm Russia,

Among the villagers on the Volga
in the Province Of Samara a curious
sect of women has made its appear
lnce. 1t was originated by an elderly
peasant woman in Soznova, called
the BLESSED Mother" These women
have fled from the villages around
into remote district, where they
live singly in holes dug out of the
face Of the hill. They lead life of
fasting and prayer, and believe them
selves called from the world, which
they think is shortly about TO perish
in general conflagration. The
BLESSED Mother" has ''ten wise vir-
gins" as a sort of bodyguard, and the
sect believes that these eleven women
are possessed of miraculous powers

A Burning Question at Bryn Mawr.

"Of course, some of our problems in
mathematics are very puzzling," said
the Bryn Mawr sophomore, "but there
is a far harder question which is in no
way connected with our studies. There
is an unwritten law in Bryn Mawr
that a girl must not walk alone with
a professor, and we are all very care
full about observing it. There is an
other rule, also unwritten, that a stu
dent must not walk about alone after
dark. Now, if girl is detained I'M
avoidably in the evening, and while
walking home meets professor going
her way, which rule is she to break?
There have been great many bitter
discussions about that point, and no.
body has ever reached decision"
Eyes" said her friend, sympathetic
cally. 1T must be a very troublesome
question. But what does girl gen.
orally do when she is caught in such
an embarrassing situationT
ooh, that" replied the young col
legienne, depends entirely OH how
well she likes the professor. New

Three Traits of a Boy.

There are three things that child
may do with the world that surrounds
him. He may appropriate it; he may
run away from it; he may fight it.
These three types of action sum up
the efforts of a mans life, from the
cradle to the grave. They spring from
three emotions, the most fundamen-
tai and the most difficult to control.
These are sympathy, fear and anger.
What child sympathiZes with, what
he fears, what he gets mad at-thls
will determine very largely what he
shall become. The training of these
emotions should, therefore, be the
primary aim of every parent and
teacher. This fact has not been gen
orally recognized. And because it has
not, the world is full of men and
women who sympathize unwisely, fear
unwisely, fight unwisely and live mis-
erably.-Detroit Free Press.

There are none in the whole category, which,

St. Helena as a State Prison.

1t is not generally known that since
it's discovery in 1902 st. Helena has
been destined to be state prison. In
1911 the Portuguese banished a noble
man, named Fernando Lopez, to this
island. Later on the East India Co.
sent a rajah to be informed there, but
he died on the voyage; then came
the memorable exile of Napoleon.
which brought st. Helena into prom
inent notice, and recently. when the
question arose what should be done
with the Boer prisoners of war, st.
Helena naturally suggested itself as
the safest and most suitable place.

A Judicial Opinion Of Rocky Ford.

After returning to Pueblo from

Rocky Ford is getting TO be tre-
mendous big town. They will haryes,
10000 tons Of sugar bects there this
season which will bring the farmers
over 100000. The people of that sec.
ton will be in splendid financial condi-
tion this fall. I am inclined to think
that Rocky Ford will become" con-
tinued the Judge with a smile. such
an important part of the Tenth Judi
cial District that I shall be Obliged to
take up my residence there and per-
haps go to raising cantaioupes myself.

this year $3.50 an acre on his melons.

five acres near Rocky Ford few years
ago and was cursing the Araknsas

In speaking Of the murder Of Homer
Reahard of Denver, by a gang OF youth.
ful toughs, the Fort Collins Express
presents some good ideas which are
worthy to receive careful attention in
Rocky Ford. The Express says: "Boys
are allowed TO run loose too much. They
should be kept off the street corners,
especially at night. Back alley secret
copclaves should be broken mp with n
stuffed club. II boys will not conform
TO rules Of good home governm ent a
judicious application Of strap oil or tinct-
ure Of birch would be good thing.
Don't indulge feeling Of indifference or
burst Of false sentiment, to the destruc.
ton of moral character. The influences
now abroad are not calculated to improve
the minds Of our youth. Study them
see IL they should not be Stunned. The
youthful nature is too easily warped;
the descent to moral turpitude too easy,
nd the consequences too grave to be
lisregarded."
