COUNTRY LIFE AND CITY LIFE.

Let US compare the two for few
moments, stating few well-known
facts in regard to each. For exam
pleasures of farm life, while the other
is always seeking for avenues of es-
cape from what she considers druid
gerry of the house and home work and
country living. She imagines there
is "career" for her that will lead to
wealth and distinction, and she must
go in persuit of all those things that
she feels sure are in store for her
sooner or later. So to the college
she goes for more classical and pol
ished education, which, of course, she
obtains if she only perseveres, but let
us reflect on a few Of those things she
rejects which most undoubtedly are
necessary that she should possess a
knowledge of. She has left her beau-
tiful home and sister behind, who is
making things hum at home, who
has been taught to milk the COWS,
help in the garden, clean house and
has learned the art of making the
best of bread, cookies, etc. She pos
sesses fair education, learned at
bone, aided by good books and pa
pers, thus keeping in touch with the
affairs of the day. And when she
comes to the classroom she can COM
pletely outstrip the city girl with
those do-nothiug propensites.
Besides all this the country air
gives us health, which counts largely
in mental pursuits. Now, I do not
wish to condem city life simply be-
cause | am country lassie, but when
it comes to filling the position of
mother, which would be the most
capable filling that position? Think
of young lady with fine education
in music, etc., who knows but very
little about household duties, what
sort of a home is she likely to preside
over? Some may think marrying
would place them beyond the need Of
work. But listen. There are very
few men in this country who can af-
ford to support an idle wife. It is
far better to make a thorough study
of housekeeping in all its depart
ments, making a special study of
economy in all things, than to aban-
don this and finally try to pick it up
when necessity forces it upon you.
Neither must we expect to learn it all
in short time, for remember it takes
continued toll to reach our highest
aid, and many great men have obtain
ed fame like the pinnacle which grad
ually ascends higher and higher, un-
til at last it becomes most conspicu-
Gus and towering attraction.
1.-THE heights of great men, reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight
But they, while their companions slept,
We're to1l1ng upward in the night"
Now, girls, let's make our sur
roundings at home more pleasant,
and tighten the work of mother and
be contented, for if there is broader
field that needs us, we will be sought
for; we need not go in pursuit of
honors they will find us. So when
we feel dissatisfied with our circum-
stances we should look at those about
US and say with Lincoln "That
God must have loved the common
people for he would not have made so
many of them. "-Floyence F,aztey.

"Cast your bread upon the waters and after
many days it shall return to you."
In generous word speak you your neighbor'l
deed,
And it will come to you In your sore need,
To aid your cause.
If you use language only to dispraise;
1t will return to you in other ways:
Thus rule the Laws.
Not aims alone to beggars at your door,
Others there be who have but little store
OF Earth's delight
Give them of aid in noble word and act
Then surely will your bread return in fact
Before the Night.

Reflections,

The Dreyfus case in France
was nothing compared with
the Miss Dreyer case in st.
Louis. Dreyfus was robbed of
his liberty. Miss Dreyer, for
telling the truth in an investi-
6 alton in the postofice, was
robbed of her virtue by a lie.
To discredit her, another wom-
an was sent to a physician to
be examined. The utherwoman
represented herself as Miss
Dreyer. The physician certified
that the woman he examined
bad been the subject of an
abortion. This woman's name
was given to the physicians
certificate as Miss Dreyer. 1t
is claimed that the physician
knew the trick that he was
party to, that he went into it
willingly as piece of party
politics. Miss Dreyer has prov.
ed that charge against her is
lie. Nevertheless the postal
authorities refuse to reinstate
her. The mere statement of
facts make one shudder. Here's
a crime worse than murder,
worse even than rape. And the
victim has no redress. The
plot was worked out by men in
government employ. Yet they
are indicated by Miss Dreyer's
exclusion from the postoffice.
Here, if ever there was such a
thing, is a sin that cries aloud
to Heaven for vengeance

Straight Democracy Is What Counts

The Columbia Statesman is
an over ba lanced Folk organ or
else it would not make him
greater than his party. Hear
it's unwise palaver:
We do not see that a Folk
club is under any obligation to
resolve TO support the Demo-
cratic nominee. 1t this is done,
it is simply a Democratic club
and not Folk Club.
Mr.. Folk stands for Democ
racy and by the state admins.
tration, hence it is childlike to
talk about a Folk club not in
dorsing the nominee should he
be some, other good Democrat.
Such is not the kind OF Democ
racy that obtains is Missouri.
Since writing the above we
found this smart editorial squib
in the Perryville Sun; another
one Idea sheet. Here it is:
Bro. Tresy has espoused the
course of Folk and talks a bet.
ter brand of Democracy gener-
ally.
While we indorse Mr.. Folks
Democracy, since he declared it
at st. Joe, that it is no sign we
espouse his course, which is an
other thing. Cause was what
our broadminded, smart broth
er intended to say, but he al
ready had the one idea crammed
into his head.
There is at least one more
candidate for Governor whose
Democracy is Al. Really, he
is the best known of any, and
he is the best orator, and per-
haps the best all.round man. for
Governor of any yet IN the list,
but he is not as we'll advertised.
This is sensible talk from our
sensible brother of the CASH
Book:
Mr. Reed, the ouly opponent
of Mr.. Folk for the gubernatori,
al nomiDation who seems to
have any considerable follow
ing at the present time, is an
able man and a sound Demo-
crat. He will make a good
Governor, and he is a man,
should he receive the nomiua-
ton, for whom any Democrat
could consistently vote.-Cape
