women better than themselves are
not allowed to cross. And so far
from keeping alive the traditions,
the honest virtue, the superb cour-
age and the severe simplicity of u
mothers of the Revolution, they
simply use the leverage of these hon
ored names to create a circle on the
scale of New York's "Four Hun
dred."
There are many good M who

submit that none of them are fit

Teach children not to waste trifes
which they often throw away with
out thought, and which if saved
might be of use to others if not to

of Irvine, odds and ends of various
kinds may do service a second time
if put away until the need for them
arises. The habit of economy is n
that ought to be cultivated, for care-
full saving makes lavish giving posi-

1t has been said that it is a poor
mother who cannot learn something
from her children, and there is truth
in the statement. One morning,
my two little boys were romping in
the room, where | was trying to do
my work, when [ spoke up somewhat
impatiently and told them to go out
into the yard and play, for they were
in my way. Mamma" said the
youngest quickly, please don't tell
us we are in your way, but let us
help you make the beds" I heed
ed the suggestion, and they really
helped me more than they hindered
me, but as long as / live, | shall new
er forget my boys reproof, Mamma,
please don't tell us we are in your
way" We mothers cannot be too
careful how we speak to the little
ones, for often, when we are tired
and worried, our words sound much
hdLS11C1 LhdA VIC A4CdA b4CJ SAO04A'
A mother of seven children once said
to me that, when her little ones were
small and required much care, she
used to think what good times she
would have when they were grown
up and out of her way. Now they
are grown and scattered far from
home, the mother feels that she
would willingly go through all the
trouble of raising them, if they were
only small and at home once more.
1t is well to remember that we can
only have children while they r
small, therefore let us take our COM
fort along with our worries.-Anna

WOMAN'S WORK
The Danes and Mothers.

tho NOlIlS
h., reading Charity and Children not
osnirp to membership among the
names or the Daughters, whose
ron,os are at the top of the society
,o1nmns in our newspapers, and
,rbose costumes are carefully and
n,;nnteIv described, including the
diamonds and old point lace that
adorn their person.
Il is not a good thing for a young
girl to belong to. There r two
reasons for this, and more besides,
hit we are going to mention only two
to-day.
In the first place, these Danes
look backward and not forward.
They devote themselves to the long
forgotten past. They spend their
energies in exploiting the things
which occurred more than a century
ago. They are not particularly in
terested in what is going on now
and what is going to come to us
in the future. They revel in an
unreal atmosphere, hoary with an
tiQuity and musty with the ancient
lore Of ages long agOne.
There is too much for strong
young hands to do right now to waste
time gathering up the trash of yes
terday. The crying need of the pres
ent-crying so loud and clear that
ole must stop his ears if he would
not hear-urges us to our best and
highest endeavor to help those who
are suffering at our doors, rather
than those who may have suffered
once but who are long since dead
and gone.
This relic-hunting, this diving in
to the deep recesses of the past, is
sure to have its influence upon char
acter, and chill sympathy for and
interest IN the work of the present.
4 colonial dame would, as a rule,
not be a fit person in the sick room
OF a pauper, nor would she, as a
rule, make much stir in her com
mumty as a collector for an or
phanage. But at a brilliant social
junction, where everything is aglow
with laughter and music, and where
the customs and manners of a hun
uEeu Years ago are falsely repro
uuced, the Dame is a great success.
Inns leads us to the second rea-
son why we do not want to see our
girl friends join the Daughters or
.ne Danes, and it is this: They
10 not represent the Daughters of
".e heYoIution or the Danes of the
colonies. What did the typical
daughter of the Revolution know
@Oout diamonds! She knew a good
ueal more about the spinning wheel
anu the club axe. Her representa-
%.'s though, have builded up a sort
royalty from which, if she were

was probably fatally crushed between a
car and a humping post at Union Station
yesterday morning.
While waiting to inspect the cars of a
Kansas City train, which was being made
up on track No. 6. Lederer stepped be-
tween the humping post and the rear car
Of the train. The car was about sig feet
from the post.
A switch engine and four cars backed
onto the track, the coaches to be coupled
to the car behind which Lederer was
standing.
The cars struck more forcibly than was
expected. Lederer did not have time to
escape and was caught. His shoulders
were crushed and he received internal in
juries
Lederers position was not noticed for
about a minute. Then station employees
and trainmen ran to the front end of the
train. The switch engine was uncoupled
and had to be called back. 1t was about
five minutes before the engine pulled the
cars away and released the pinioned man.
Lederer was taken to st. Mary's In
Urinary. where it was stated his injuries
were probably fatal. He is SO years old
and married.

Harmony with a meatax" broke loose

when the new Rank and File Republican
Club of Missouri held two sessions at the

board.
In other words, another organization
has been formed to get a new deal. 1t Is
In many ways a secret organization. Rep
resentatives of both the Atkins and the
Kerens factions were on hand. Then there
were those who want neither OF these
men to do as they have done in the past
and thus keep Missouri Democratic
State.
This holy cause was inaugurated on
Sunday afternoon. or, to be more specific,
September 13. when about forty OF those
who had been called together by c. c.
Bell of Boonville and ]. j. Cundin OF Sc
dalia gathered and took counsel. 1t was
a star chamber session and every one
took the oath of secrecy-and, what Is
more to the point. observed the oath.
Yesterday at 2 o'clock twenty-three men
were admitted into one of the Southern
Hotel parlors in response to the call for
second council. At one time there were
forty-seven men in the ROOM all of whom
breathed harmony with SO much fervor
that the air became blue at times.
Old Colonel Guitar of Columbia. Ker-
ems man, went after Atkins with all fours
and said that fund of 100000 should be
raised and the war for harmony contin-
ued In true knight valiant fashion. He
was about the only speaker who sought
harmony by name. as the others dwelt
chiefly on the beneficent influences of the
sweet dove of peace.

On the surface, it is proposed to instill
a new principle into the party. The Ker-
ems faction is particularly anxious to
boost this idea. This principle is none
other than that the people should arise

patronage seekers.
