o accomplishment added to the
list which the young woman of to-
day is expected to acquire, and it is
absurd to say that its possession will
interfere with the proper enjoyment
of any of the other accomplishments.
Then every housekeeper Is a business
woman, the degree of her excellence
as a housekeeper being the degree of
the business training she was provid-
ed with before she entered upon her
domestic duties. The successful and
economical management of the house
calls for the same kind of ability and
Judgment that is necessary to the
successful management of a CONNER
cial enterprise"
A similar sentiment this remarka-
bic woman has written for the Ladies
Home Journal as follows:
"a girl should be brought up so as
to be able to make her W living,
whether or not she's going to inherit
a fortune. But a woman's place is
in the home, though some women do
better in business than men. A girl
ought to be careful about the man
she marries, too, especially if she has
money. She oughtn't to marry until
she's old enough to know what she's
doing, anyway"

WOMAN'S WORK
The Home Woman.

NJ clever. brilliant thinker she,
with college record and degree;
Che has not known the paths of fame,
The world has never heard her name,
She walks in old, long-trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom, love her dow
She seeks no other wand of power
To make home sweet, bring heaven
near,
To win a smile and wipe a tear,
And do her duty day by day
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are
twined,
As round some reverend saint en-
shrined,
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still,
God rules the world in good and i'll;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew,
And life for her is high and grand,
By work and glad endeavor spanned.
This sad old earth's a brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face;
Her very smile a blessing throws,
And hearts are happier where she
goes,
A gentle, ~clear-eyed messenger,
To whisper love-thank God for her!

Making Corn Bread.

In making corn bread, a great
many think it doesn't require the
pains necessary in making light
bread and biscuit. When made in
this way, it is a very welcome dish
on our dinner table: First, for a fam
lily of five, place two heavy iron or
steel spiders in a very hot oven, with
three or four tablespoonfuls of melt
ed grease; leave them in ten minutes,
so that the pores of the spiders are
creased well to prevent sticking. In
the meantime beat two eggs well,
pour them in one pint of thick sour
milk: one-half pint of the milk is
sour; cream would be much better !;
one tablespoonful of salt, one and
one-half teaspoonfuls of soda sifted,
with cornmeal added last, making the
batter quite thin. Put it in the hot
spider. Batter being thin and spid-
ers hot will make the corn bread turn
out not only a lovely brown, but it
will be quite as light as sweet-cake.
Keep hot fire while baking.
When frying chickens, after they
are of ordinary size, dredge with
salt, pepper and -four; place the
pieces in a breadpan with a liberal
amount of grease, fairly hot. Slice
thick two or three onions over top
of chicken; spread the slices all over
the top; place a larger breadpan over
all, and put in the oven and keep a
slow fire. The chicken will need turn
ing but once. This way fries it much
more thoroughly than the old way on
top of the stove in a spider, and new
er burns if a proper fire be kept

How the Richest Woman in the World
Regards a Business Training.

Regards a Business training
Writing in the Woman's Home
Companion, Hetty Green, the mil
l~ionaire business woman, says:
when I say that all women should
have a business training, I mean wo-
men of all classes-poor, middling
rich and well-to-do. The assertion
does not apply merely to those whose
circumstances seem to indicate that
they may one day be compelled to
make their own way in the world.
Every kind of girl will make a better
and happier woman if she has a bust
ness education, whether her woman
hood sees her a maid, wife, mother
or widow. have heard it stated that
for a woman to get a business train
ing is to crush all the poetry out of
her life. This is sheer nonsense. A
woman with a knowledge of business
appreciates music, painting and the
other finer things of life Just as much
as the woman who is ignorant of all
business matters; and the former
has the decided advantage, in that
she is able to turn her knowledge of
business into securing more oppor-
tunities of seeing and approaching
these fine things. She can get more
tickets to concerts and art-galleries,
she will have more money to become
the possessor of more beautiful
things than a woman without bust
ness training, and a woman with a
sure income before her feels a great
deal more like studying poetry than
a woman who is compelled to worry
about her future bread and butter.

ty years, and am just as fond of pic
lures and music as any one of my
age. A business training is but one

In Remembrance.

1t is consoling 10 think of one who
in the brief allotment of transitory
being that was his. made an impress
on the minds and hearts of those
closest to him that the years, each
crowded with the weight of tasks
and cares, have not effaced. In the
contemplation of such an one there
comes the melancholy satisfaction of
lifting the veil of memory while a
tear falls for the past. For greater
tribute can be paid to no man than
to say that he so endeared himself
to those who best knew him, that
mingled with the sorrow that he is
gone is the sense of joy that he
lived.
There came into the life of the
Argus such a type of Gods creation.
and while the years have been swift
since he passed, it is pleasant to
know that the remembrance of him
is today as fresh and fragrant as the
flowers that have since bedecked his
grave.

The inhabitants of the village of
Chetwynd, near FreepOrt, and others
near by have a unique way of re-
ceiving and sending mail Recently
orders were received to discontinue
the postoffice at Chetwynd because
of rural delivery passing within half
a mile of that place, and so a large
elm tree at the cross roads was utiI-
lied and made to serve as a post
office. There are seventeen boxes
attached TO the tree, besides the gov
eminent mail box, which is used sole
ly for money orders, registered let
tiers, etc Chetwynd gets all its mail
in a large box on the left of the tree,
and fully 100 people receive mail at
this tree. The elm is a magnificent
specimen of its kind, rising fully 100
feet, without a limb within thirty
feet of the ground. IT is three feet
in diameter at the bottom.

American Beauties shown in a Calendar.

Armour & Co.'S Society Girl cal
endar for 1902 is n highly artistic
achievement. The idea is unique. 1t
embodies six types of the American
girl of today as described by six of
the foremost American illustrators
William It. Smedley, \. b. Wenzell,
Albert Sterner, Howard Chandler
Christy, Henry HUT and a. /. Keller.
All save one of the drawings are in
colOrs; all are full length figures
placed against sOftened backgrounds.
The artists chosen for the task were
in no case restricted. They were
simply asked to give their ideal type
of modern womanhood. All have
done so, and the result as set forth
in the six original drawings is all
that can possibly be desired. Re
finement. intelligence, suppleness,
nerve and wholesomeness are the
dominant traits of American woman
hood, and these characteristics are
found in varying degrees in all of
the six sketches. All of the artists
are well known through their vari-
Gus contributions to leading maya
zines, as we'll as to important art
exhibitions. Armour & Co., Chica-

The Anglo-Boer struggle has been

Total expenditures at end

Even if the conquest of the two re-
