THE BTSINEsS GIRL.

The world asks the young man of today not.
'What do you know" But-"What can you do?''
1t is asking the same question of the young wo-
man of today.
1t says: Suppose you we're to meet with mis-
fortune? Can you stand alone? Can you make
your own living? OF course You valuable to So
cety. as an ornament and for your feminine graces
but can you support yourself as Il man supports
himself?
This harsh commercial age of ours is buntly
demanding to know the cash value of young wo-
mans effort.
Young men are expected to make good"
They must answer the commercial challenge i'll
terms of dollars and cents. They expect nothing
else. They plan for the strife. So that when the
time comes to break home ties and go out into the
world to earn mans living the boy has been pre-
pared by long anticipation.
And now the spirit of the age is saying to the
sisters of the boys, "Can you earn your keep"
To their credit, be it said, thousands of young
women answer, Eyes. All / ask is boys chance"
And thousands of them are answering that chal
lenge silently, earning their bread we'll as
that of dear ones who are dependent upon them
And thousands more ready should the pinch
come.
What is the effect?
Men are being displaced and in the adjustment
many suffer
As the modern girl gains strength of effort she
loses just little of genteness. Many fancies are
given up. Innocence gives way to knowledge.
But
The gain is more than the loss. The modern
girl who strives for living learns the meaning of
responsibility. She finds out how struggles in
the arena of the business world. She sees the temp
tatons that pull men down and learns what man
hood means She is independent, sturdy, resource
full sympathetic-ht companion for men.
The oId-fashloned cinging girl is going. Not
so fast in the southland, but she going here
Whereat some hearts are sad.
But the new-fashioned girl, nobly planned, is
better. She is valuable commercially. She is none
the less womanly.
The bloom may be gone from the peach but
the fruit is luscious

SOME FACTS ABOUT IMMIGRATION.

Every time the suha goes down the population
of the United States has been increased by about
1000 souls, not by means of birth, but by the arr
val of foreigners who believe that there is better
chance to live and prosper in this country than IN
Europe That means Il little city every week, 1t
means an addition to the population OF city as
large as st. Louis each year.
Every year there has been scare in'some OF the
northern centers Of population because OF this IN
fuX 1t constitutes the northern race problem.
Some mighty unpromlsng material reaches the
United States and some men feel that there is dam
ger in the peopng of cities With those who have no
conception of American ways, and who are, IN many
instances, too old to learn.
Strangely enough, the great anthracite coal
strike of last winter proved that we can assmllate
much faster than we had supposed.
The mines were full of men who were ignorant
of the language and customs of America, The
wages they earned and the food they ate were more
and better than anything they could have hoped Tor
in Europe where they and their ancestors had been
but little better than slaves.
And yet they were organized by men with
whittier skins than theirs they felt the longing for
more comforts more liberty for their children, and
they stood shoulder to shoulder with the far lesser
to work under the old conditions.
1t was mark of growing civilizations
Then there is another truth.
A good many of the grown folks will never be-
come ardent Americans You can't shake off the
habits Of centuries one generation. That IS the
thing that makes possible the existence of hundreds
of newspapers published in foreign tongues
But the children catch up with the Amerl-
-.
you wouldn't know whether they were born IN Ner-
mont or Palermo. They live American; they chase
dollars as diligently the most ambitious Yankee,
and they even think American
The total migration in 1902 was 100000.
That was 900 more than in 1901
1t represents an immense amount OF European
oppression, and it is good to know that the PLAIN
people of Europe can still find hope under the flag
of the United States

Heaven.

If heaven lacks the face l knew;
The cheerful voice with music in it;
The willing hands, the heart most true,
That made me happy every minute
The welcome when my work was done;
The tender kiss we knew at parting;
The merry laugh, the harmless fun;
The "make-believing' and sweethearting;-
If heaven lacks little home
Presided DER by little woman,
Who'll cheer me when cease to roam;
Who can my presence ever summon
If heaven lacks the winning smile
That left me ever willing debtor;
It's joys can meier my soul beguile!
A fig for it! I've known better!

To the Woman That's Good.

Harold r. Vynne, novelist, poet,
former editor of Town Topics, and n
prominent figure in the Bohemian
life of Chicago, was committed to
the lunatic asylum Thursday.

of Mr.. Nynne was n novel called
The Woman That's Good" 1t was
chiefly a narrative of his first two
matrimonial experiences The first
wife was "the woman that's good. v
Although she secured Il divorce from
him, Vynne always entertained the
highest respect for her, and made
her his heroine. The novel, how
ever, was Il fierce attack on his Sec
ond wife and her father, Col Mann.
II was sort of apology for himself
Although he did not make himself
out blameless, he posed as being
much misunderstood
The following extract from the po-
etical dedication of the novel, The
Woman That's GoOd,' reflects the
character of the author:
0, Youth is a madcap, and Time is a
churl!
Pleasure pals, and Remorse fol-
lows after:
The word hustles on in its pittiless
whirl,
With its kisses, its tears, and its
laughter;
But there's one gentle heart, in its
bosom of white
Dear Love with the tender eyes

Who has all the wealth of my hom-
age tonight,
Where she lies in her innocent
dreaming
Aud watch DER her ever my spirit
shall keep,
i While the angels lean down to ca

And I'll pledge her again, in her
beautiful sleep

Tie q cord from one side of the room
to another, thus making a loose swing,
and announce to the spectators that
you are going to lay an empty bottle
crosswise on the cord and make it stay
there without your holding It,
Everybody will know. of course, that
there is some trick about 1t, but that
Is the very thing that everybody will
wish to see.
You will need a small piece of chalk,
which you must rub along the cord at
the place where you are going to put
the bottle. This will prevent the bottle
from slipping. Acrobats rub chalk on
the soles of their shoes for the same
purpose.
Now get an umbrella or a parasol
with curved handle. insert the handle
III the mouth of the bottle and lay the
bottle on the cord, moving it back and
forth little at time until you get it
balanced. Then you may take away
your hands and the bottle will swing
of its own accord.
All that is necessary in feat of this
kind is a delicate touch, so as to get
things nicely adjusted.

How to Prevent HanRuafls,

Always keep n lemon on your wash
ing stand, and after thoroughly wash
ing and drying your hands dig the tips
Of the fingers into the lemon till the
nails are quite covered, says the New
York News. Lemon juice is invaluable
for the nails, removing stains and keep
ing them altogether in good condition.
Always after washing your hands push
the skin around the base of the nails
gently back. using the towel for this
purpose. You will be surprised to see
how this improves them. Rub lemon
Juice over your hands too. Then dry
and rub each nail with a tiny pad
moistened with almond or olive oil.
Wipe off every suspicion Of oil, dust
with oatmeal and then rub hands and
nails with a chamois leather, giving the
nails special attention.

This is simple little game. but 1t
Is instructive, for it gives boys and
girls practice in quick composition.
Give to each player a sheet Of paper
and pencil and then ask them in turn
to name letter of the alphabet until
ten letters have been so named. If
there are not ten players, some of them
may be asked to name two letters
each.
Each player writes these letters, one
after another, at the top of his sheet
of paper, and is then asked to write
a telegram of ten words, the words
beginning with the ten letters in their
regular order.
Suppose, for example that the let
ters named are j, T, o, r, b, II, \, S
d, /. Here is a telegram that might
be formed on them: johnny tumhled

Farmers Organizations.

Farmers organizations are a neces-
sity. In order to meet successfully or
ganized power the farmers must form
thorough organizations among them
selves, and there is no national and
complete organization except the
grange. 1t must be either this or moth
ing, and farmers themselves must de-
eide the question, and 1t has no middle
ground, simply two sides from which
to choose. One is to unite in organiZa-
ton and cooperative work in self de-
Tense and protection and the other Is
to keep aloof from organization, which
virtually acknowledges that we are in
capable of self government and there
fore prefer masters to control us, and
we accept whatever they may see fit

CARE OF SEWING MACHINES
How to clean and Keep Them In
Good Order.

How to Clean and Keep Them In
Good order.
A sewing machine must not be eX-
pected to run well unless i is kept
clean and oiled as often as necessary,
says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Keep soft buster always in one of the
side drawers and use it every time you
sit down to the machine. Sometimes it
may be necessary to use n little brush
with stiff bristles TO get into the crew
ices or soft, fine Irvine to draw he
tween parts to get out the dust and
lint.
The matter of oiing depends alto
gether upon how much the machine Is
used. DO not drench the machine with
oil. but put n drop or two in each little
hole designed for 1t and nowhere else.
When about to sew wipe with the dust
er the bottom of the shoulder on the
left hand side, through which the steel
bars of the presser foot and needle
socket descend. This is where the oil
comes from that sometimes makes I'M
slightly spots on the work. When not
in use keep the machine covered and
the leather strap slipped off the large
wheel. 1t will last longer and stretch
less If this precaution is taken. II
the machine stand in one of the liv-
ing rooms and there are young children
in the house, release the device which
most modern machines have at the
right hand for connecting the driving
wheels with the upper parts. Probably
good deal of wear and tear will thus
be avoided, and, if necessary. keep the
machine locked.

Doan'S
Kidney Pills.,
A Modern Medicine for
Every Kidney Ill.

Mr.. T. II. Hughes, of Saxtons River, Vt,
employed by Il. f. Locke & Co., says: MY
kidneys did not act properly for years, and
1t gradually grew on me. For two or three
years they troubled me very much with
dull. aching pain across my back and in
my loins. If l stood on my feet for any
length of time, l felt the pain across my
back more and my legs became numb.
When the pain in my back got so bad that
could stand 1t no longer. put on plasters,
and used a great many Of them, but they
only afforded me temporary relief. L also
used medicines of all kinds, but they did
not reach the cause l saw DOans Kidney
Pills advertised, and so well recommended,
that / was induced to give them trial, and
l got them at Andrews drug store. They
gave me immediate relief. After the treat
ment l seldom felt any symptoms of my
former troubles, but when ] did took
few of Doan's Kidney Pills and 1t soon
left me. My rheumatic pains were not so
severe, and did not have that tired, Ian
guild feeling. l had more energy in doing
my work and give all the credit to Doan's
Kidney Pills. They did me great deal
of good, and I feel justified in recommends
ing them to others as good and reliable
medicine"

on programme; second, on arrange
ments and grounds; third on music;
fourth, on advertising, invitation and
printing; fifth, on reception.
Every detail of the meeting should be
thought out and provision made to
make the meeting pleasing, entertain
ing, enjoyable and profitable to all who
may attend. If the committee on in
vltauOn SDOulu nave printed IL clTculdr
letter cordially inviting those to whom
1t may be addressed and their families
to attend and mail or deliver to every
family whom you would like to be pres
ent 1t would add largely to the at
tendance.
Large supplies of grange literature
should be judiciously distributed with
the letters of invitation and at the meet
ings This will afford members an OPP
portunity to inquire after the meeting
as to the impressions made by the liter
AZURE or at the meeting and secure a
good many applications. Patrons of
