The following clipping which is
going the rounds of the country press
contains some very sensible sug-
gestions. Read and think about them:
Who sympathlzed with you when
your little girl was sick? Was it your
home merchant, or was 1t Sears s.
Roebuck? Who carried you last win
ter when you were out of a job and no
money? Was it Montgomery, Ward
g., Co., or was it your home m erchant?
When you want to raise money for the
church or for some needy person In
town do you write to the Fair store
in Chicago or do you go to your home
merchants? How much does Siegel.
Cooper & Co., give towards keeping
up the side walks of town or paying
the minister's salary? When you
were sick how many nights did Hib>
bard, SDenser s. Bartlett sit up with
you? When your loved Que was
buried was 1t your home paper which
shed tears of sympathy and uttered
the cheering Word, or was 1t some
Chicago or New York paper? Who
bought your peaches, apples, pears,
plums, chickens, eggs, butter, water
melons, wood, feathers and other
things you had to sell and bring to
town and do sell. When your house
got burned who donated to repair the
loss?

1T IS WITH THE GIRLS.

Greenwood Commonwealth
The preachers may preach, the
newspapers reason and entreat, and
the old women pray and exhort, but
young men will continue to get drunk
and commit other social sins just so
long as the young women-their
observation-disclosures it. When l
hear Of young man making a shame
full exhibition Of himself at a social
function, | of course pity the poor,
weak little fellow, but | have 20
sympathy whatever for the young
woman who has been Inundated by
his conduct, unless she manifests that
righteous indignation and asserts her
self respect by refusing to recognize
him or have anything whatever to do
with him until he has shown himself
to be worthy of 1t. 1t all rests with
the women Uf this country. They can
have 1t as they will. II the silly, flip
pant creatures would only do 1t, they
could at least make the young men
restain their passions and brutal ap>
petltes while 10 their presence so as
TO conform to the rules Of decent SOY
ciety. But there are so many society
girls of today who would receive at
tention from anything, Just so long
as it had the appearance Of man.
Any thing, good Lord, A pair of
breeches, little hair on the end OF
its neck parted in the middle, breath
like the effluvia from a fostering beer
key, brainless as a baseball and eyes
like rotton perslmmon is better than
nothing in the estimation of these
little things who are to be the un-
worthy mothers Of sorry part of the
next generation. 1t is really serious
matter to contemplate, and it is
enough to make the Gods weep, II
weeping could do any good, But, oil
course, weeping could do no good, I'M
less enough tears could be shed IL
produce a flood that would drown all
of these little human worms. And
that would not be possible unless you
tied a rock to each one of them for
their heads are so much like a circus
balloon that they would float like q
bubble. 1t is a grave question, and
shall not undertake to solve it. proba.
bly, If Gov. Longino's attention had
been called to it he would have put il
before the last special session of the
legislature, which in all probability
would have settled it by making an
appropriation to cover it.
