Warning TO Girls

We should be very glad to impress our
brethren of the press with the very great
dangers that lie in wait for the multi
tudes of girls that are fiocking to our
great cities, especially to st. Louis. and
notably at this time. The country press
is power for good, and il they keep this
matter constantly before the readers
warning all to this open door to ruin
many might be saved who else were lost
The gateway to ST. Louis, our great
union depot, is beset with thousand
snares for unwary feet. ANY young girl
who comes through the open gates
into the midway, if possible a snare
will he spread in her path that she
cannot escape, No girl should come
here unless absolutely certain of her
course. The tempting advertisements
are often mere bait for ignorance and in
nocence. And If she comes to the city
city to enter the first carriage whose
driver proposes to take her to a good
cheap boarding house or to accept the
first position offered where "no experi
encc Is necessary she may as well bid
adieu to innocence and hope wnen she
leaves her home. aud as matter of
course, the mar is almost equally cX-
posed as far as moral or physical safety
is concerned. II the country papers
will keep these things before their readers
they will serve God and humanitv.-S

Opportunity and Johnny

Johnny made lot OF snowballs-
Made them nice and round and hard;
Then upon a box he piled them
In corner OF the yard
Saving: "Wait till Willie Watkins
Comes around this way again
Oh, III bet I'll make him sorry
he told Teacher on me, then
Through the night they lay there freezing;
They became as hard ne rocks;
In the morning Willie Watkins
Glanced to see them on the boz;
Johnny had not risen carly
Johnny was sleepv-head,
Willie Watkins took the snowballs
While their maker lay i'll bed.
When, at last, the slothful Johnny
Sauntered outward through the yard
To prepare to batter Willie,
He was hit by something hard.
More than fourteen snowb balls stuck him
Ere he bowling got away,
Conscientiously believing
1t was his unlucky day
Thanks to thee, o lazy Johnny,
For the lesson thou hast taught.
OFT we labor hard preparing
And our efforts come to naught-
OFT we spend long years in getting
Ready to he great and grand,
lust to fail through being absent
When it's time to be on hand.
