LETTE FROM A YOUNG LADY TO A
YOUNG MAN.

Your beautiful card of invitation to
the bali to be given by the young
men OF the city ''in honor" of Miss j.
has been received. Had nothing else
come to me respecting that event, I
should give the "card' no further
thought than to suppose it was intended
as a society" compliment merely; but
as there came with it polite note from
your hand inviting me in more per-
sonal way to attend the ball, l have de-
clded to address you these lines.
You will allow me, first of all, to give
expression to my surprise that you
should seek in this way to draw me away
from the path you know so we'll | think
to be right. You, and all who are init
mately acquainted with me, are fully
aware that | never attend such places.
| must, therefore, be permitted to at
tribute your course in the matter to a
want OF thoughtfulness on your part.
You know full well that more than ten
years ago joined the church, and al
though | was then in my young girlhood
fu!ly appreciated thelgravity of the step
was taking. | gave my heart and life
70 my Savior in that hour, and assumed
the VOWS of church membership for all
they meant. And, by the grace of God,
L have ever since remained steadfast in
my purpose to be q consistent Christian.
What grieves me most of allsnow is that
one whose friendship | feel so sure of
should seek to draw me into an "amuse-
ment. that is admitted by all sober,
thoughtful people to be so damaging to
religious influence and enjoyment.
The dance, as you well know, is con-
demned by all Christian denominations.
Roman Catholic and Protestant Chris
tanlty alike condemn it as improper and
hurttul to young Christians.
And do you fully realize what YOU
have asked me to do? You request me
to "lay aside" my ''little scruples" and
attend with you place where l could
not take the Savior with me, and where,
if participated in the dance, l must al
low Liberties (pardon my plainness of
speech with my person, as | have been
informed, that ought to bring, and would
bring, the blush ofshame to the cheek of
any pure hearted young woman-lib-
critics that would not be tolerated any
where else. | am perfectly :willing. TO
believe that this did not occur to YOU
when you sent me that card.
| have said that the dance is hurtful
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1902-08-21

to Christian influence and enjoyment.
Are you not perfectly cognizant of the
lact that the young church members
VINO take least interest lin the work Of
the church are the very ones who at
tend balls and engage in the follies OF
the dance? Are not you yourself an
example of this? | am told bv mem
bers OF the church in which you hold
membership that you are never at the
wednesday night prayer meeting, that
you do not go to Sunday school, that
you take seat far back at the preach
ing hour and it is said by those who
know that you probably spend ten dol
lars on ''societv" where you give one to
the cause of that Christ whom YOU pro-
fess to love. And yours is but single
case of the many.
| And pray tell me, can the dance afford
any rational enjoyment to an intelli-
there be, anything about it that is re-
inning, or exalting? 1t seems to me it is
more beftting the age OF very young
childhood than any other period Of
human life
Is it co mplimentarv, think you, to a
young lady to ask her to dance? II re-
4ullOo III IHIcIlGCI 10 QdTCe. MONKEYS
and dogs and elephants can learn it.
In view Of all | have written, would
not lower myself, as Christian, in your
estimation were to accept your invi-
tatlon and engage with you in the follies
of ballroom?
And now | ask you to consider what
is suggested by the following incident:
A pastor OF my acquaintance was ex-
postulating with an irreligious young
man for using his influence to get young
lady church memb bers to dance. The
young mans final remark was this:
well, l love to dance with them; but
when | 60 to hunt me wife l will not
60 to those with whom | have danced"
1t seems to me, in view of this, that
any young lady who engages in the
dance does, to say the very least of 1t,
leave herself open to unfavorable criti-
cism.
Now, in closing, allow me to say that
the Young men OF the land are almost
wholly responsible for all the hurtful
customs Of social life. If they did not
lead, am sure the Young ladies would
not. In view of the foregoing objec-
tions to the dance, as we'll as others
thateI cannot with propriety put be be-
tore you, / beg to decline your invita-
ton to the ball. Your friend,
ANNA BELL,

has the longest life period Of any
known insect, and, according to
D. L. Marlatt, of the government
entomo1ogists, who has made
special study of its habits, it is
the most anomalous and interest
ing of America insects.
Each individual Of the great
cicada army to visit us this year
is II years old. In the year 1885
these myriads of insects entered
the earth and since then they
have not behe1d the light of day.
In June of that year Mother Ci-
cada industriously planted her
hundreds of eggs in the green
twigs of the trees while Father
Cicada sat close by and sang. A
few weeks later the aut-like baby
cicadas escaped from their shells,
fell lightly to the ground and
quickly burrowed out of sight,
forming for themselves like sub
teranean chambers or cells ad-
joining the sappy rootlets of the
tree, in the fresh juices Of whose
twigs the producing eggs had
been deposited for nourishment.
In this underground cell, at
first the size Of a small grain of
bird shot, but gradually growing
with its occupant, each cicada
has remained within two feet of
the surface, through winter and
summer, buried from light, air
and sun and protected in a man
ner from cold and frost. II has
lived thus in absolute solitude,
knowing only its moist earthen
chamber, rarely changing its posi-
tion save as some accident to the
nourishing rootlet has necessi-
tated its seeking another. Ii

to Kootenay Lake, then by steam

journey was something awful.
We went over places which just
scared me to death, thousands of
feet ia the air looking down. It
made me sick but I had to look
just she same.

long and it took 5 hours. The
lake is situated right among the
mountains which came down to
the waters edge. The tops Of
the mountains are covered with

LocusTs COMING THIS SEASON.
The Seventeenth Year Locusts Will
Invade Twenty States this
Month.

Washington correspondence,
Goth ult: This is to be the worst
"locust year. experienced in this
country since 1855. Next month
will witness the sudden onslaught
in twenty states simultaneously,
of the largest brood of seven
teen-year locusts' known to
science. This vast insect army
numbering countless billions, has
been followed in its ravages from
the year 1715, since when it has
never failed to appear in the last
week in May at regular intervals
of seventeen years. Wherever 1t
appeared in 1885, the year of its
last outbreak, 1t is practically
sure to reappear again this year.
The entomologists of the depart
ment of agriculture are thus able
to forecast its field of operations
for next month.
The states to be invaded are
New Jersey, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware. Maryland, Dis
trict of Columbia, Ohio, West
Virginia, Virginia, Massachu-
setts. Vermont, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Alabama, Georgia, North Caro-
