THE FARMER GIRL.

The farmer girl looked down her hoe,
And said: "Oh! well, it may be so.
It's pick and scrape and sigh and cape
AS more and more from morn to night;
See, every weed grows up with speed
TO curse the earth with sheer delight.
From year to year for many years
I've 'deNed these burrows with my tears
I've shed my youth in all its truth
In hoping times might change for me-;
But weeds may blow and crops may go,
No distant, longing change | see.
The fields. the dear fields of my birth
I've cared and loved as mother earth;
But am I still just born to till
From early Spring to lingering fall?
No change for me that l can see
But crowding backward to the wall.
They say the farmer is a man
That never does the best he can;
His daughter, too. a creature VINO
Is only fit for hoe and hay;
Just give me space for one years grace
III give them -omething else to say.
They tell me- too. sometime it proves
simple, country girl who loves
Her honest toll, and does not soil
Her heart or life is princess true
And 10! dear me- what's this l see?

movement; UP and down. then B. circle;
UP and down. then % circle.
The speed Of these signals denotes their
urgency. Slow and gentle the engineer
obeys them slowly and gently. Fierce
and emphatic, then swift as lightning. the
engineer obeys them just as fast as he
possibly can.
An old western railroader talked yes
terday about the signals that We're used
on the M. X. and Z. road twenty years
'"They We're not altogether like the
Pennsys." he said. Some OF them. in
fact. were radically different. Whether

ago. Maybe. by this time. the Pennsyl-
vanias signals are used out there.
don't know anything about that
Besides the la nd and lantern signals,
there are those of flags. the whistles and
the torpedoes. The flag signals are;
A red nag-"Danger Stop d once.
A green fag-'Caution. Go very slowly"
A white flag-"All right now. Go right
ahead"
In conjunction with the flags torpedoes
are often used The explosion of one tor
pedo means that the train must stop;
two means that 1t is to reduce it's speed,
advancing cautiously A fuse burning on
the track is warning that the train IS
to halt and not go on until the fuse IS
quite burnt out.
The whistle signals are worth knowing.
He who understands them need no longer
rail at the engineer and hold his ears
when the locomotive Shrieks and howls
numerically; for now each shrek, each
howl, has it's meaning for him. Here, then,
are the whistles:
One long blast-"We are approaching

One short blast-"Put on the brakes.
We are going to stop here
TWO long blasts-"Ihrow Off the

Two short blasts-"All right. Your sig

A LANTERN THAT TALKS.
1t Is the One That the Kailroader
Swings Up and Down.

Philadelphia Record: Railroad men
have n sign language as perfect as the
sign language of deaf mutes. They have
no trouble, with this language. IN COM
municating with one another a quarter
or even a half mile away. During the
dav they make their signs with their
hands and arms At night they use
lighted lanterns.
RE signals that the PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road uses are the ones most prevalent
in America These signals are simple
and large-two great advantages-for
being simple they are easily understood
and remembered; and being large-re-
curing big sweeping gestures-they can
be read a long way off
There follows O list OF the Pennsylvania
signals These it is well for the public
to know; for emergencies often arise
where 1t is necessary to caution or to
stop a train, and why not. in such an
emergency do the cautiQning or the stop
ping in the proper manner?
The basic. the principal. signals are:
%. stop %. Back. 49, Go ahead.
In the day time stop" is signaled
by moving the hand up and down. the
palm inward. before the body--a vertical
cutting of the air with the edge of the
hand, the movement extending from the
chin TO the waist
Back is signaled by big. low beck
oning gesture of the arm--a circular GEES
ture made shoulder high ct is pre-
sumed here that the signalman is be-
hind the train. and wishes It to APP
preach him. If he is in front Of the
train and wishes it to back away from
him, he makes the opposite or Go ahead
gesture.
Go ahead" To make this signal the
hands are held at the breast. and thence
circle in the air. This semi-circle means
Everything is all right. Go ahead for
good
Go ahead just a little or as the rail-
reader says, Ease off The arms are
extended straight from the shoulders,
and while they remain motionless, the
hands are jigged gently up and down
from the wrists.
At night the signals must of course,
be made with lighted lanterns. The Ian
tern signals are:
Stop" The lamp Is swung diagonally
across the track in a semi-circle.
Back" The lamp Is swung clean
around the head in tremendous vertical
circle.
Go ahead The lamp is moved up
and down in a straight line very quickly
before the body.
Go ahead just a little or lease off,"
The lamp is moved up and down in a
straight line before the body slowly and
the length Of the line it traverses is very
short.

NEW PROFESSION FOR WOMEN

A recent New York World" in the
women's exchange has on its list of work
ers new professor for women, the title
IS. as well as the profession, quite an
original idea. The name. "a cheering-up
lady" Her business is 'to visit lonely
homes. play games with old women or
talk and read to them, and in general to
brighten their lives. Her services are
sought by people who have money, but
yearn for companionship also" What a
happy idea it gives us, for each house to
have one "member who would constitute
him OF herself a cheering-up messenger"
and cultivate for the especial benefit OF
the inmates. those graces Of manner and
thOughtfulness of act which always turn
a froWn into a smile"

COEDUCATION AND SUCCESS
Full WOMEN.

Those who have favored coeducation
must point with pride to what young
women are doing In colleges all over the
country. 1t has been plainly shown that
women are capable of receiving as high
an education as the sterner sex. and the
wonderful success of women in all pro-
LESSONS and business of every Kind
stands for itself to prove this assertion
Day by day we read such notices as the
following:
Miss Florence NJ. Fitch. daughter or
Rev. +. S. Fitch. D. D.. pastor of the
First Congregational church. Buffalo. n.
y, has just received the doctors degree.
cum lande at Berlin university, the first
woman upon whom the university has
conferred this honor. Miss Fitch has
been studying at the university for three
years past
This young woman has since her re-
turn positions offered her at Mount Hol-
woke and at Oberlin college. She has ac-
cepted a chair at Oberlin. the college
at which both her father and self grad
uated.
The University of Rochester, n. Y,
conferred the honorary degree Of NJ. A.
upon Miss Helen Cox Bowerman, a. b.
at the commencement in June, She Is a.
graduate of Mount Holy He, and Is the
first woman to receive a masters degree
from the University of Rochester.
On the coeducation question we gather
the following data:
Great fears were entertained by some
when Beloit college was opened to wo-
men. that the standard of scholarship
would be lowered. but the young women
have demonstrated that they were fully
euual to the work required OF them.
This year both first and second honors
were awarded to young women"
From a special from Boston We have:
in the election from Boston univer-
sity to Phi Beta Kappa intercollegiate
honorary society Dean Huntington, of
the College OF Liberal Arts, announced
fifteen girls and one young man, won
There was quite a sensation among the
students when ii was announced that
only one man had gained the coveted
honor
Recently the faculty of laws from
which women have been excluded by
Heidelberg university has now been
opened to them"
We gather many facts in regard TO tho
success of women from The Wisconsin
Citizen, published monthly by the Wo-
mans Suffrage Association. They are
always proud to chronicle the advance
ment Of their sisters and always advo-
eating equal rights

Is of widespread interest and the poem
we give below proves that his interest Is
not confined to any one part of the coun-
try. The little incident comes from far
away Nebraska.
Mrs. Mary Smith II. Hayward of Chad
ron, Nebr., who has long been prominent
among bird defenders, and who has done
very much through her occupation as a
miillner to discourage the wearing of
birds or feathers upon hats, sends poem
to The Citizen, inspired by the following
incident:
THE Rev. Robert r.. Lee Craig. Episco-
pal minister of Omaha, while out in CEN

larks. He was fined $110."
He stole a summer song, dear,
This godlv man of mark,
He made the spring day silent,
He killed a meadow lark.
The plowman in the morn. dear,
Win miss the dawn-tipped wings,
That soaring upward. taught him
To think of nober things
And the children off to school, dear,
Across the fresh turned sod,

That kept them close to God.
And all the summer long, dear,
Each day. when it is done
Wen wonder who tomorrow,

For he is dead and cold. dear,

And he sang a song of love to
