Reflections of a Bachelor.

A woman who hasn't got a family
doctor never feels her social position is
secure.
The man who saves money began yes
terday; the man who doesn't is going
to begin tomorrow
Specializing i'll Wall Street is easier
than gambling with matrimony, but it
ISM any more profitable.
The man who always seems to be
more hard up than the one who is
trying to borrow money is the one he
tries to borrow it from.
The last argument of a women is
suddenly to veer around and take your
side OF it, declaring you have come
around to her side.

"Master williamson"

At the April meeting of the Colonial
Society of Massachusetts in Boston.
last week, Henry H. Edes, on behalf of
Hon. Joseph Williamson of Belfast. a
corresponding member, communicated
and read paper dealing with the ques-
ton of the identity Of Master William
son, who is said to have accompanied
Myles Standish on his visit to Massa
soft, in March, 1921, and who was
named, with Governor Carver, an over
seer in the will of William Mullins,
AS these appear to be the only contem-
porary references to Master William
son." and as his name does not appear
in the list of passengers in the May
flower, the late DR.. Henry NJ. Dexter
advanced the idea that he may have
been "the factor, financial agent, or
supercargo of the Mayhower."
Genius is only superior power of seeing.

Tie Best of You.

What has become Of the best of you
The best that we used to know,
When skies were blue and hearts were true
In the days of the long ago.
What has become of the laugh of you
And the gay sweet Snatches of song,
And the dreams of you of the work to do,
That should conquer the sad worlds
wrong?
What has become of the hope of you,
The courage and strength of soul,
The love of you and the trust of you,
And your faith in the far off goal?
Has it gone forever, the best of you,
And left us here in its place
The scorn of you and the wrong of you
And sneering, sinful face?
Nay-I still believe in the best of you
And this for a truth | know;
There are skies as blue and hearts as true
AS those of the long ago.
The best of you still is the best of you
With God let all things rest
And the heart of you, and the soul of you,
The sin of you-and the best.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
DISTRICT NURSE
Miss Jessie Blair Began Her Round of Visits to the Sick Monday
Dispensing Comfort and AdWee-She Will
Live at Unity House.

Miss Jessie Blair, the district nurse for the
Associated Charities arrived in Minneapolis
Thursday evening and began her work Mon
day. Miss Blair came from Salt Lake city
where she had charge OF a private hospital.
She had geen previously district nurse in
Chicago for almost two years. Her district
was in the neighborhood Of Hull house and
calls for her services We're left at the settle
ment. She made her home in one Of the
model tenements and the people in the dis
trlct sent Tor her ON every pretext. They
were so sure of her interest and sympathy
that they did not wait for illness, but, If the
rent was due and there was no money to
pay It, call was left for Miss Blair who
was expected to suggest remedy for fnan-
clal disability as well physical.
Her Work In Chicago was in connection
with the Visiting Nurses association of that
city. There were fourteen working nurses
IN the group and the city divided into
corresponding number of districts. Miss
blair is graduate Of the Illinois Training
School for Nurses in Chicago and since she
received her diploma eight years ago she has
held responsible positions in the hospitals
of that city.
She made her first official visit in Mime
apolis Monday morning when she went to SEE
little girl who is i'll with pneumonia. Be-
fore she went to the child she saw the doc
tor and obtained necessary information from
him in regard to the and its treatment.
She bathed the little patient, changed her
gown, fresheped the bed and the room and
gave the child nourishment and medicine.
Directions in regard to the treatment Of the
case We're given the mother and after spending
half hour in making the little patient
comfortable the nurse left to return again
in the afternoon.
Several other calls were sent in during
the day and Miss Blair has promise Of being
one of the busiest women in the city. All
calls for her services should be sent to the
Associated Charities office in the Boston
block, where she will make up her route for

each day AS there is only ono district nurse
it will be understood why she cannot take
contagious diseases. She will go to the home
where there is scarlet fever or measles and
explain to those in charge how the patient
should be cared for, giving special attention
to disinfectants and fumigation.
Another branch Of Miss Bair's work will
be the talks she Will give on the simple prin-
ciples Of hygienic treatment, the care OF the
teeth and necessity of baths, the prepare
ton Of simple foods and other features that
will be OF great value to the people among
whom she will work.
The Associated Charities has secured the
services Of district nurse for the benefit of
the poor who are ignorant Of the care OF the
sick and who unable to pay even a small
sum for help. There are many such cases
and the need of Intelligent treatment to sup
plement the Doctors orders Is recognized by
those familiar with the conditions The num-
Der of calls which have already been left at
the Associated Charities rooms proves that
the value OF district nurse has been recog-
nized by those for whom she is employed.
Miss Blair will visit the various patients
every day, spending perhaps half an hour in
caring for each, and just what this half hour
will mean to the neglected sufferer no one
can tell.
Supply or loan closets will be established
in different portions of the city as
possible, and it is hoped that the different
churches will cooperate with the society and
keep them stocked with sheets, towels, jellies
and other delicacies. In Chicago the Visiting
Nurses Association has over 1000 sheets to
draw from, but if the Minneapolis worker
can secure fifty, she will be satisfied. Her
patients will be destitute of almost every
thing to make them comfortable, and her bag
will contain all sorts of useful, practical
articles.
Miss Blair is making her home at Unity
settlement and she will be an invaluable aid
to the little group OF people who are working
to better the conditions of those around them.

"GET11NG A BIG BOY NOW"
Flandreau Votes to Incorporate as
Il City.


Special to The Journal.
Flandreau, S. D., Feb. 26.-At a special
election held for the purpose Of reor-
ganizing the village of Flandreau into q
city there were 1872 votes cast in favor
Of the proposition and only against. The
vote was light one, as the village casts
over 300 votes. The village was organized
under a special charter III 1883, but it's
usefulness has been outgrown. Flandreau
has now a population of about 1000, and
feels thatS it must expand in city govern
ment The place was named after Judge
Flandrau Of st. Paul. Through custom
the name is spelled "F'landreau," the
railroad company and the postoffice having
adopted that form. Flandreau more than
doubled in population from 1890 to 1900,
as shown by tho last census, and Is now
considered one of the most progressive
towns In the state. During 1901 over
100000 was expended in improvements.
Several substantial brick and stone build
ings were built, besides many fine resi-
dences and over mile Of cement walk.
