Feminine Folly.

Wanted Competent girl to do
house work in a small family"
This is the advertisement which may
be seen in almost every paper insthe
land, and this with a surplus of
women seeking honorable ways Of
getting a living. They eagerly take
up clerking in stores, typewriting,
professional nursing, become
teachers of art, music and labOrers
in our public schools, quite often
competing with and throwing men
out of work and yet by common con-
sent they avoid the good old fashion
ed vocation of home making unless
some plug of man will marry them
and then they will work the rest Of
their lives at it for nothing. The
why of all this is queer. We are
told upon good authority that when
a woman does homework for pay
she ruins her social standing; that
the cooking, bed making and sweep
ing and washing are all right when
she does this work in her own home,
but her social undoing when she
does it for some other woman
for pay, and that it is this thing
which makes women shun this
kind of work. 1t seems to us
that there is in this matter a
whole lot Of feminine folly. There
is crying need all over this country
for this class Of help, but it cannot
be obtained for love OF money. We
believe much of the trouble comes
from the old idea that when a person
is able to employ another to do the
dirty work Of life it also carries with
it the privilege of regarding and
treating such helpers as belonging
to an inferior class. Now, while
this works all right in a foreign
C ountry where society is stratifed
and classified, it does not work here
where classes are unknown.

he devoted much time and careful
study to the general interests of
Sunday school work, and was active
ly identified with county and state
Sunday school organizations.
DR.. Dickie bore testimony to the
faithful work done by Prof. Wood
in the college and the respect and
affection entertained for him by
both students and faculty. He was
followed by S. A. Tough, professor
Of Greek in Baker University, Bald
win, Kansas, who had made this
long journey to attend the funeral
of his friend and to represent the
high esteem entertained by the fac
ulty and students of that Institution
with which Prof. Wood was for so
many years identified. He dwelt
upon the many excellent traits OF
character of deceased-his quiet,
unassuming demeanor, his unselfish-
ness, his assiduOus labor, and the
fact that whatever he did was done
with accuracy and thoroughness.
Rev. Mr.. Urch paid an eloquent trib-
ute to the faithful Christian life, the
loyalty and devotion, the activity in
church and Sunday school work of
Prof. Wood. In his death a great
loss has been sustained. which we
cannot measure.
At the conclusion of the services
at the church the remains were
borne to Riverside cemetery, fol-
lowed by long procession of stu
dents and friends. Six of the college
professors acted as pail bearers"
The article concludes with a set
of resolutions of respect passed by
the city council of Albion, speaking
in highest terms Of Prof. Woods in
tegrity and offering sympathy to
the afflicted family.

A Sad Experience.

Mrs. John G. Cover, widow of the
founder of the Herald, residing
alone in the fourth ward, had an
unenviable experience Monday
night that she will remember the
balance of her days and which her
host of friends have deplored the en-
tire week.
About 4:3O p. M, the aged lady
became partially paralyzed and sank
to the floor while about her house
hold duties, and was unable to arise
or assist herself in any manner. En-
tirely alone at the time of the occur
ence she soon realized her condition
and put forth every effort to reach
couch or chair, but was utterly
helpless. She cried Justify for aid,
but the doors being closed none of
the frequent passersby heard her
calls. The fires in the house soon
died out, darkness came on and still
no assistance. Through all the long,
cold hours of the night Mrs. Cover
laid there helpless, suffering; and
not until a. m. the following morn
ing when a delivery clerk from
Nathan's grocery came to the house
was she discovered Her neighbor
Mrs A. q. Knapp, was quickly
summoned and with assistance Of
others the now exhausted lady
was removed to a couch, physicians
summoned and restoratives applied.
She soon regained strength and
was able to partake of nourishment
and recount the bitter tale of suffer
ing
Happily to relate, Mrs Cover is
now recovering. Her 'daughter-in
law, Mrs. Jos. Cover, arrived from
Madison Wednesday noon in re-
Spouse to summons and will remain
with her mother through the winter
at least
Mrs. Cover is past eighGy-two
years of age and the shock she ex
perienced was a severe one for one
even younger than herself.

Lulu Gave Pleased Ear, the Suit

Lulu Mcguire, young and pretty, and
Pang Yung, Chinese peddler, have been
married and are spending their honeymoon
in Chicagos Chinatown among Pang
Yung's own people. according TO a report
being circulated in the neighborhood of
the residence of r. d. Hobbs, 3l6 East st.
Clair street, where Miss Mcclure was
domestic.
1t is said the pretty young woman and
the Chinese peddler of perfumes and tea
were married secretly in Indianapolis about
a week ago. Then they went to Chicago,
where Pang Yung introduced his American
bride to people of his native land. There
Pang Yung will engage in business and
make a home for his pretty wife, it is
understood.
Lulu McGuire--or rather, Mrs. Pang
Yung-is a young woman of about twenty
years. She is pretty, petite and attractive.
Her hair is brown and has just enough of

and a little different from just plain

Fountain Square, Virginia avenue and
Prospect street. He is intelligent and has
spent much of his leisure time educating
a good appearance.
HE FELL IN LOVE.
Pang Yung met Lulu Mcclure when he
went to the home of Mr.. Hobbs to sell per-
fumes and teas. That was several months
ago. The very first time Pang Yung went
to the Hobbs home he was deeply impressed
with the pretty domestic. The next time he
went around TO sell his wares he visited the
Hobbs home again and saw Lulu MCGUIRE.
Pang Yung gave the pretty young woman
perfume and talked to her about the won,
ders of his native land. She was interested
at first in the things Pang Yung told
about, and then in Pang Yung himself.
This was the beginning of the romance
of Lulu Mcclure and Pang Yung, the Chi
nese peddler
Pang Yung soon saw that his visits to
the Hobbs home were welcome, and he
went Often always, of course, showing his
wares TO Mrs Hobbs and trying to hide
from her his admiration for Miss Mcclure.
Pang Yung's admiration and interest in the
young woman soon ripened into love. A
few weeks ago he told the young woman OF
his love for her and asked her to marry
him. She consented. The wedding and the
honeymoon were planned. and one day last
week Pang Yung called for Miss Mcguire.
The Americanized Chinaman and Lulu
Mcclure left the Hobbs home. They were
married secretly and went TO Chicago few
hours later.
The queer love affair caused a stir in the
neighbOrhood. Mrs. Hobbs. keeper of the
boarding house at that address. refused to
discuss the matter one way or another, say
