any acknowledgment for superior in
tellectual ability. Notably one may
quote the case of Madame Curie. the
discoVerer of radium. Coward Adam
says she discovered it by "a fluke'-
that is to say, by chance. Most great
discoveries occur, even to men. in the
same way. In the present instance the
Chance" came to woman. Why
should she not therefore have all the
honor due to her?-the same honor
precisely as would fall to the lot of a
man in her place? Columns upon col
umns of praise would be bestowed
upon her were she of Adams sex, and
all the academies of science would con-
tend with each other as to. which
should offer her the best and most
distinctive award. But Coward Adam
cannot abide the thought that the
woman whom thou gavest'' should take
own among the geniuses of his age.
He tries to ignore the fact that woman
is winning equal honors with himself
in university degrees-he would fain
forget that the two greatest monarchs
Great Britain ever had were women
Elizabeth and Victoria. There is a
brave Adam, of course-a civilized
creature, who owns and admits the
brilliant achievements of woman with
pride and tenderness am only Just
now speaking of the coward specimen.
The brave Adam does not turn tail or
climb trees, and he appears to have

gavest'' may be clothed in Paris model
gowns and wear jewels outrivaling in
size and luster those of all the kings
and queens that ever made their sad
and stately progress through history.
Indeed, Coward Adam, in the position
he occupies as a free citizen of that
mighty republic over which the wild
eagle screams exultingly, looks a little
bit like beaten animal But he bears
his beating well, and is quite pleasant
about it. In regard to 1.-The woman
whom thou gavest me" he is nearer
the imaginary code of "chivalry' than
his European brother. If the original
Adam had learned the ways of mod
ern American gentleman of good edu-
cation and fine manner, one can quite
imagine him saying-'The woman

had nothing to do with the Garden Of
Eden. Very likely he was born some
where else. For he says-"The woman
whom thou gavest to be with me is

my thoughts. To her my soul turns;
for her my heart beats; in her l re-
joice' her triumphs are my pride: her

Coward Adam, as he is seen and
known among the low classes, crops up
every day in newspapers, which duly
chronicle his various acts, such as
promising marriage to poor working
girls and robbing them of all their lit
tie savings, as we'll as of their good
names-kicking his wife, starving his
children and spending every penny he
earns in the public-house. But he is

The St. Paul Dispatch of the

in regard Albert F. Brown, who
was resident of Milbank last

persons in her care, from men, which
letters were of a nature that rendered
them unfit and impro,e er for mans

sheep Breeders Meeting.

A meeting of the sheep breed
ers OF Grant county was held al
the court house on Feb. q,
persuant to a call by the board
.of county com missioners. The
meeting was called to order bv
James Mcdowell, and on motion
20. ii. Hevener was chosen chair.
man and Auditor Pinckney was
made clerk.
The necessity of having a
sheep inspector in the county
was fully discussed, and it was
thought best to elect one. Mr..
p. E. Higgins of Marvin was
nominated for the position, and
upon vote being taken Mr..
Higgins was declared duly
elected, and his bond in the
penal sum of $1,000 was ap-
proved and filed.
The fact that one or more
hocks Of sheep near Marvin
were said to be afflicted with a
scab disease, alarmed the owners
of sheep in that vicinity and
other localities and determined
them to ask for an official iaspec-
tor, that their own flocks might
be protected from the contagion,
and proper methods pursued for
stamping out any of the diseases
that threaten their fiocks. The
election Of Mr.. Higgins, who is
himself sheep breeder, as
inspector, will be highly pleasing
to the sheep men Of the county,
as his good judgment and
energy in the work will inspire
them with feeling Of safety.

Union Revival Meetings.

The Methodist Episcopal and
Congregational churches have
made arrangements for a series
of union evangelistic meetings
to be inaugurated the seventh of
of next month. Two evangelists,
Revs. G. Smith and r. Roper
haze been secured to conduct
the meeting and these gentle
men are spoken of in the highest
terms both as to their methods
and the success that attends
them, by the people of the
churches and communities
where they have heretofore
labored. The following extract
in regard to their work is taken
from the Shelby GH) County
Leader, of Feb 2oth. where they
are just concluding a series of
meetings:
Mr.. Smith is powerfully convincing
in his addresses. Again and again
it has been said, she never speaks but
he cuts right and left" Every
word he utters, backed by the Holy
Spirit, is sharper than a twoedged
sword: but it is all spoken in tender
est way imaginable, and comes from
the love of his great heart that goes
out to men and women whom he
would save. Mr.. Smith uses no
arguments-he just stands squarely
on the Word, and against this there
is no argument.
The singing of Mr.. Roper, as we'll
as that of Mr.. Smith, delights the
people. A master of music, with
consecrated voice he sings the gospel,
even as his colleague breaches it.
Under his direction the chorus, which
fills the rostrum and choir loft is
doing spendid work at every service.

of the recent snowfall and en-

the farm home of e. L. Farnham
in Alban. A pleasant social
evening was spent in games, and
before returning refreshments is
were served, in which saurkraut
and WeinerWurst were among
the delicacies of the table. The
visit had such an effect on Mr..
and Mrs. Farnham that they
took the train the next morning
for Appleton, Mimi, and have
not been seen since.
A number of the young people
from town on last Friday night
made up a surprise party or
their friend and school mate

jingle of the sleighbells made
their way to the Hevener home
in Alban township, where they
had a good time and didn't gel
home till the "wee sma' hours
! of the morning. The neighbors
in the vicinity of Chas. Hevenel
had also gathered for the even

evening.
