of comfort wherever the eye might rest.
There were chickens in the poultry
house and eggs in great plenty, and
Fruit had been grown in the garden and
was now stored away for winter in great
plenty. In truth it was joy to see the
success that this lady from SaXony and
from the city had made of farm life.
She was no less CHEEKY and no less hope
full than she was six years before.
Many women in her place would, it is
to be feared, have done very differently.
The change from the hustle of city life
to the loneliness of country life would
have been toe much for them. They
would have begun to long for the old time
life as soon as the novelty of the new life
had worn away. They would have
found the downright work of farm life so
distasteful that they would have in
dulged in murmuring, and bemoanlng
their hard lot4would have followed. This
would have been succeeded by sale of
the farm, and this in time by removal
into the city. where husband and wife
weuld. both drop out of sight from the
public gaze amid the many who are
fighting for existence in the city. Their
family would grow up amid the baneful
temptations Of city life, and it may be
with the faint upon them of checked am
bition and enervated tastes. How diff
ferently Will those little blue-eyed girls
grow up in that German farm home.

This German bridesof six years ago has
acted noble part. Let her fine example
be hung aloft in the armament of Min
nesota rural life@ May those young
brides from the city who are prone to
cherish discomfort with their respective
lots because of changed conditions, heed
the lesson of this story. May they learn
it by heart. That, women from the city
should marry men who own farms and
then a few months or years hence coax
them away fromgthe same is to be re-
GREETED exceedingly. IF a woman cannot
put her life into what interests her hus-
band, why does she marry him? Far
better that she should live alone than
bring upon herself the responsibility for
failure in life on the part of her husband
She will defend herself by saying that
she doesn't like farm life; that she can't
like it. Why can't she like it? 1t is
life that is fit for queen, or at least it
may be. A thousand times better to do

to say. take hold of the situation as it
is and at once begin the work of making

if she had ever lived on a farm in Ger
many. She said no. she had only lived
in a city and that she had no knowledge
of farm life. She seemed hopeful how
ever, with reference to the future. Why
should she not. feel thus hopeful? She
was bride. She had the strong arm
of a stalwart young German to lean
upon. Why should not she feel hopeful?
And yet, somehow, we had some misgiv-
ings as to what the outcome would be.
She was a city lady, only used to the
city ways and now she was going to live
upon a farm The life was so different
that we had some fears that she might
be discouraged when she came to know
all that farm life meant. But our fears
were without foundation as the sequel
will show.
Six years rolled away and it was our
privilege to visit the lady in her farm

in the windows. But more beautiful than
either were four little blue-eyed Mime

two languages. The home was neat and

BELIEVES THAT SIZE IS SAFE
St. Paul District of the women's
Foreign Missionary Society
Elects Officers for the
Coming Year.

Rev Trico Constantine, Il Bulgarian
miss .onary thinks that the abduction of
Miss Stone by Bulgarian brigands was
meant TO be a stroke of state policy on
the part of the brigands. In an address
delivered before the st. Paul district OF
The Women's Foreign Missionary Society
Of the Methodist church in the Daytons
Bluff NJ. E. church yesterday Mr.. Con-
stantine explained that the, Bulgarian
brigands assumed Turkish disguise and
captured Miss Stone on Turkish territory
hoping to collect the ransom on Turkish
territory so that the United States would
demand indemnity from Turkey and thus
involve that country in difficulties with
the United States which would result
ultimately in the independence of Bull
garia Mr.. Constantine stated that Bull
garia fretted under the rule of Turkey
and those at the head of affairs would
seize any pretext to free their country
from the hated Turkish rule The speak
er said he believed firmly that Miss stone
would be liberated. Fir, Constantine was
born in Bulgaria, but for a number OF
years was Methodist minister in Min
nesota.
The district, which includes twenty
auxiliaries. was well represented at yes
terday's meeting Miss Fannoe A. Per-
kins, of Burma, who returned to this
country last spring after an absence of
