rights all lie in the development Of those
traits which are essentially womanly.
Women sometimes grow impatient with
men. failing to remember that to mans ms
she owes her existence. If man were as
perfect as woman would have him. God
would never have made woman at all. Her
function is to supply his deficiencies, not to
MAN SHOULD SEEK THE WOMAN.
The man who needs help ought to be let

her. The woman who succeeds in catching
husband is glad to be rid of him II pos
sibe. Let the man do the .Satcning: Eve
ter at all. The woman who is too anxious
to marry, as II 1t were she who needed q
help-meet. will find that God did not make
man as help-meet, and that having mar
ried with that idea she must be sadly dis
appointed.
Though woman lost the Eden which God
gave man, yet every true woman has been
endeavoring ever since to make him
another. and many a man has found in the
love and affection of the wife OF his bosom
a better Eden than God gave Adam. These
wives were women who Understood the pur-
pose Of their creation, and knew that what
Adam needed was not a doll baby, nor some
one to help spend his money, but wit, WITT
assist by faith and womanly devotion, and
thus make home where he would retire
when life's storms had come.
VI CkNUAEl "OlHISs
But there are other ways in which wom-
en- may help men other than as wives.
Some Of the best women Of Gods creation
never married. God had never intended that
they should marry Man needs sisters,
daughters, and the world needs the minis
try Of single women. There are women to
whom marriage would have been public
calamity. there are mothers who never felt
the pains of childbirth, there are women
who wear no wedding rings who have
made for others glad and happy homes;
Eve lost the Eden which Adam gave her
by attempting to run little side show of
happiness with the devil for a partner. Ac-
cept the Eden her husband has given her:
let her not lose the one she has by going
outside to seek another. There is always a
risks what she already has by complaining
that it is not greater. Her husband never
won her by scoldfng. Now that she must
hold his affections, that she is in the VIM
ming business, she should remember this
and act accordingly.

hundred fields through the richest section
OF Madison County were set ablaze.
The section men through the region dropped
their tools and hastened into the fields for
the standing oats. wheat in shock. and even
the hay was threatened with total destruc-
ton.
The fight was bitter one. and in some
cases the fire was only stopped through the
farmers summoning every available man
and putting all the plows on their places
into the fields. to throw up burrows across
Its path. Fences were burned for miles and
some telegraph poles. Roadmaster J. T.

alone; ] Will make him a helpmeet for him."
The sermon follows:
A great deal of nonsense has been written
and spoken about woman. 1t seems difficult
indeed to treat the subject seriously. There
is great want of sincerity. Calamity de-
nands in the abstract that woman should
be treated as an angel. and the world has
fallen into the habit of speaking Of her in
fulsome flattery. although such language is
recognized on all sides as meaningless, ut
| terly insincere. Yet this seems to be the
only proper thing.
But - calmly. woman is not so much
worse LIAM man that she requires to be
spoken of in extraordinary terms, and 1t
seems to me that the true women would
prefer truth to hattery which she and every
one else knows to be insincere. The world
should quit lying about women. for they
do not need 1t and should resent 1t. These
compliments are like honorary degrees at
college, meaningless. But what are you
going to do about 1t?
MARRIAGE TREATED LIGHTLY.
Marriage Is another thing which is sell
dom treated seriously. least of all by wom-
en-. When she does take 1t up 1t is usually
In private conversations OF no profit to the
outside public. which learns of them only
through the divorce courts. But marriage
Is usually treated as q huge joke. w hen a
minister deals with the subject from the
pulpit he is likely to be charged with SEN
sationalism. which only goes to show how
utterly faulty is public sentiment on q sub
ject most vital.
Indeed. there Is a great deal Of fatalisn
in regard to marriage. It has become gen.
orally believed that people are bound to play
the fool In marrying, and sc the disposition
is to let alone" to attend weddings only
wishing they were funerals, and after mar
rage losing interest in the principals, who
are left to make the best OK worst OF It.
Women are no more like men morally and
mentally than physically. They were de-
signed to assist each other. and there need
be no invidiOus comparisons. A world OF
men without wives and babies, or world
Of women without husbands and babies
would be q purgatory. penitentiary, a sort
CT penal colony.
When God made Eve. evidently he did not
intend to make another Adam, one being
enough. What he wanted was an Eve, and
when God makes q woman now let her
know that 1t was q woman he wanted. and
let her not try to be another man. Womans
