The Jefferson Souvenir has been
consolidated with the jefferson Bee.
G. S. Turrill, who has been the editor
of the Souvenir for several years, is
taken in by the Stillmans as part
ner in the Bee. Paul Stillman, how
ever, will be the editor. Mr.. Turrill
Is the postmaster at Jefferson. These
two republican papers have commended
against each other for business for
many years. There used to be two
factions in the party there and each
paper represented faction. For the
past few years those factions have
been largely united. The business
men of the town and the people of the
county could be better served, and
more economically, by one well sup
ported and ably conducted republican
paper than by two each having a less
business. The union was therefore
thought to be of advantage to all con-
cerned. Both papers have been ably
conducted, but the Bee now, will be
warranted in expanding enough to
make il one of the very best weeklies
in the state. Success to it.

1t is a strange fact that the United
States is letting one great industry,
the ocean freight and passenger bust
ness, go almost entirely to foreign
countries. We have more of this bust
ness to do than any other nation, but
we hire people of other nations to do
it for us. We only have $4,000 tons
of merchant shipping while Italy has
1,1S9, 1000, Norway 100000, France
l, 48O, 900, Germany 100000 and the
British Empire 13,S0O,O00. Our ships
do not do quite one-tenth of the ocean
carrying business of our own, over
nine-tenths being done by people OF
other countries, for which we pay
them over a hundred million dollars
a year. We wonder that our states.
men do not contrive plans whereby
Americans may successfully compete
with the foreigners in at least our own
foreign carrying trade. We are al
interested in the prosperity of that as
well as the various other lines of in.
dustry of our country.

labor was the Industrial temptation of
the age.
THE results Of the system can be
grouped under three heads. The ef-
feet on the child, the effect on the
family, and the effect on the communi-
ty. The effect on the growth of the
child has been proved by exact figures.
In England they have a half time sys

she has not known the paths of fame.

She walks in old, long trodden ways.

Home is her kingdom, love is her
DOVER
She seeks no other wand of power
10 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 lead 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 due,
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!

Although but 10 years of age, Miss
Agnes Jameson has complete charge of

labors do not consist merely of telling
others what work is to be done and
how they shall 60 about it. She is not
that sort of a newspaper woman, for
she is a thorough printer and knows
the business Of conducting a country
paper from A to z.
Mrs. Mignonne Nicholson of Chicago
has chosen for herself a life calling, a.
profession seldom included among the
possible opportunities for women. She
is the only woman veterinary surgeon
in the world. A New York woman
once attempted to qualify herself in
this direction, but failed to study more
than a short time. No other woman,
so far as known, has done work Of
this kind.
In France there are 1888 women
employed as gatekeepers at the rail-
road crossings. They get very small
salary, but the railroads provide each
one with a house and a small garden
patch rent free. These women work
every day in the year. They may not
leave their posts for a day or even on
Sundays and holidays, and their
working days are from fifteen to eigh-
teen hours long.

racers abound. Her youthful training
made her acquainted with habits and
