DEBORAH, IOWA, AUG, IA, 1901
Is She Your Daughter?

She is often seen on the street with
several like her. They walk arm in
arm, and are apparently well pleased
If the line stretches across the side
walk and Indifferent to the fact that
pedestrians must step into the gutter
or brush agalnst.the sides of the dusty
building in order to pass. She calls
her girl friends "chums or ''pardsn
and her young men friends "fellers. I"
She chews gum on the street, and talks
slang everywhere. You can hear her
talking half block away, and her
laugh can be heard even farther. She
stares impudently at people whom
she meets who are not dressed accord
ing to her idea. She acknowledges no
one as her superior in any way, and
old age seems deserving only contempt.
Her greatest efforts seem to have been
expended in getting herself up accord
ing to the latest style, and flirting is
her chief recreation and amusement.
She is not at all particular about the
style of man she fiirts with any
thing in male attire will do, and che
feels quite "cut up" if she discovers
there is style of Irritation with which
she is not familiar. She reads sens
ational stories and pronounces them "to
lovely for anything" Her smart
young sfeller'' are ''too killing" or
''too cute for any use' and quiet young
men are "clams" She has a great
deal to say, but if it were printed verba-
tim and handed to her, it would make
her blush with shame. In the printed
report of last weeks talk she would
hardly find one sentence to be proud
of.
If she lives at home she is seldom
found helping her mother, there are so
many other ways in which she prefers
to spend her time. Among her many
ambitions the most noticeable are a
desire to have more "fellers" than
the other girls, and to marry the one
that most of them are after, determin-
alton to keep her hands soft and white;
and wish to have all the world know
that she is cute little thing, who does
not know how to do anything useful,
and who has no ideas of her own on
any subject.
On account of the last named accom-
plishment she is attractive to most men
and is often engaged to be married,
but she does not marry unless the en-
gagement is short one, for she be-
comes tiresome on close acquainta, ce
to even the man whose mental powers
are limited. Ifshe does marry she falls
into the class of wives who do not have
the respect of their husbands.
Now, this girl has mother, if only
for short time, then the mother can
not be blamed for having such a
daughter and it is to be hoped that
she has no means of knowing what a
silly specimen ofhumanity she brought
I. into the world. But if the mother is
living now, and sees her daughter as
others see her, what punishment she
must suffer for having neglected the
training of the little child put in her
keeping.
Is it your daughter? Do you dare
look at her and say that you have done
what you could? There is surely some
thing wrong in the home training of
such girl.

Union Pacific which gives promise of
spreading over the entire system at an
early day, says the Omaha Bee.
Through the organization of clubs at
division points it is proposed to at
lord the means for the entertainment
and improvement of the members.

justify such action. Instruction will
be given in mechanical drawings, en-.
g%ineering and kindred topics.

bership of the pioneer club at Chey-
enne includes w. L. Park, superintend-
