The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1902-01-24


was loved 10y its members may be
judged from the fact that at every BIZ
ennial election she was returned as its
head, and the appearance of any can
didate against her was mere matter
of form to satisfy the requirements of
the bylaws of the organization. Al
though Jennie June was past seventy
ut the time of her death, no one could
think of her as an old woman. Her
figure was girlish, her hair was still
dark brown, she still took a young wo-
mans interest in the active pursuits
and advancement of her sex. We must
always remember these two facts con-
corning her-she opened the way for
woman's employment on the daily
newspapers; she was the mother and
founder of women's clubs. Two Amer
lean women before her had been known
as contributors to newspapers, but
they were never regularly members of
the home staff of one. These were
Margaret Fuller and Mrs. LippincOtt
(Grace Greenwood Mrs. Lippincott
still lives. She was present at the Oc
tober meeting of the New York Wom-
ans Press club, and Mrs. Croly intro.
duced her to the audience in a few
graceful, tender words. In response
Grace Greenwood, who wrote Euro
pean letters for Horace Greeley, made
little speech to the club. 1t was some
thing to remember to see Grace Green
wood introduced to an audience by
Jennie June. And already Jennie June,
the younger of the two, has gone from
this earth. May she ENJOY the rest
she never knew here!

Miss Norma Munro, daughter of
Norman Munro, the publisher has con
trolled and personally managed all the
business interests of her father since
his death. Miss Munro is an accom-
plished musician, a graduate of law
and an all round athlete. She is as
fearless as she is clever.

Mrs. Lydia Biggs of New Castle is
one of the best farmers in Delaware.
Her lands, fences and various build
ings are as neat and in as good order
MS is well kept front yard Mrs. Biggs
is dairy farmer, keeping thirty cows
and selling their milk. She is entirely
prosperous and is laying up money,
proving in one case, at least, that a
woman farmer can succeed where a
man did not do so, for her husband
died heavily in debt Besides having
his obligations to pay, his widow had a
family of small children to rear, but
this brave, capable woman was equal
to all the demands on her.

1t is strange that more women do not
carry on the business of farming. a
woman of brains and determination
makes an admirable farmer. 1t is true
she cannot do the hard work a man
can, but the art of amassing money
consists not in hard work, but in utiliz-
ing the hard work of other people. This
is profound truth.

The solar plexus is TIE largest nerve
center in the body. 1t is situated be-
hind the stomach. Just above the waist.
1t practically controls a large portion
of the nervous system. Breathe deeply
and as you do so mentally send sensa-
ton to this solar pleXus. This will
wake 1t up and develop it and increase
your nervous power if you persist.
"Wake up the solar pleXus," says Eliz-
abeth Towne.
The committee of revision on the ten
cts of the Presbyterian faith have been
extremely busy and have recommend
ed various changes. Gentlemen, while
you are about it wake up your solar
pleXus and recommend also that the
word obey be stricken from your mar
rage service The creed that woman
must obey a man has bong since drop
ped into desuetude among enlightened
people, and it is time to drop it out of
the Christian churches.
1t gives me very great pleasure to
make note OF the fact that both house
and senate of the Legislature of Wyo-
ming have passed resolution heartily
indorsing woman suffrage and recon-
mending the enfranchisement of wom-
en- in every state and territory of the
Union "as a measure tending to the adj
vancement of higher and better social
order" What is more the legislature
requested the governor of Wyoming
to forward a copy of the resolution 10
the legislature Of every other state and
territory in the Union, and the press Of
the United States was also asked to
call attention to the resolution. Splen-
did! The slow old world does move.

Talk of your spry old men! Mrs.
Mercy L. Day, Maine woman, eighty
one years old, not long since rose early
one morning, fed the calves and pigs
and helped milk eight cows Then she
had wagon loaded with apples, but
ter and eggs and drove alone to the
town, twenty-three miles away. to mar
ket them. She sold out her wares inn
mediately, did some shopping while
her horse was resting and eating and
then started on her return trip, com
pleting most Of it the same day. The
age of a woman is not a matter of
years, you see. 1t is a matter of slump
Ing and giving up mostly.
