Here is a proposition that we

Dis,a.ensb In Masa3.
Here is proposition that we
always wondered why young
ladies in these small towns
never took advantage of. The
average wages in the rural
school district for first and
second grade certificates is
about $32 to S37 per month.
We take it on the basis of s35.
A teacher gets $35 for twenty
days work and pays on an av-
erage of $40 per month for her
board. She has at the end of
the month S25 clear. If the
same girl works a month as a
hired girl she gets $3.50 per
week or $40 a month and works
twelve to fourteen hours per
day and thirty days a month.
Now, why young ladies don't
go to school and fit themselves
for this additional wages is
more than we can understand.
Besides the teacher is put in a
place where she can develop
her mind and keep in touch
With the progress of the world.

Newark, Ohio, May %, 1903.
From childhood I had been bothered
with bad blood, skin eruptions aud boils.
I had boi1s ranging from five to twenty in
number each season. The burning ac-
companying the eruption was terrible.
S. S. S. seemed to be just the medicine
needed in my case. It drove out all impu-
rites and bad blood, giving me perrna-
nent relief from the skin eruption and
boils. This has been ten years ago, and ]
have never had return of the disease.

STORM WAS TERRIBLE.
Honduras Coast Swept and Great
DAMAGE Done.

Damage Done.
Louisville, KY, Oct. 11.-A special
from New Orleans says:
The fruit steamer Beverly has ar
rived from Honduras and Guatemala
ports with the first news of the ter.
rible storm which swept the Honduras
coast ten days ago. The Beverly
could not get a cargo of bananas and
came in light.
The storm hit the Honduras coast
on Sept 20, and continued three days
and nights. 1t was cyclonic in force,
the wind at times blowing 80 miles
an hour, and was accompanied by
cloudbursts.
Puerto COrtez suffered great dam
age. The Honduras coast was wreck.
ed from Cortez to Ceiba. The Hon.
duras railway was washed away in
many places and there swere a mum.
ber Of mountain slides. 1t will not
operate for thirty days.
The banana crop at Omoa is ruined
1t is estimated that no fruit will be Sc
cured from Honduras and for 80 days
the output which has been 100000
punches per month, will be reduced
so per cent for eight months.
No interior mails had arrived at any
coast points to catch the Beverly, in.
dicating that the interior had suffered
quite as much as the coast.

FAvoRs CHURCH FLIRTING.
Novel View Taken by Chicago Metho
dist Minister.

uISL Minister
Chicago, Oct. 11.-Flirting can be
carried on in church to good advan.
tage, according to a statement issued
by the Rev M. B. Williams, chairman
of the committee on Sabbath obser.
vance of the Rock River conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal church.
There is no reason why young peo.
pie should not cultivate each others
acquaintance from behind hymn
books" declared Mr.. Williams. "We
are glad to have them come to church
on any pretext. Flirting is as good
an excuse as any"
Frivolity during religious service, he
said, was to be expected of Americans
But that some good was accomplished
even under these conditions, he de
clared, was indisputable.
1.-THE expectation of seeing a young
woman home, has brought many a
boy to church for the first time," he
said. Among the love-making there
Is chance for religious influence to
steal in"

a small position in the hills near Fort

in Sampans. The Russians offered a
slight resistance at first, but later
the Japanese were compelled to
abandon the position under a scourg.
ing artillery fire, reeross the moat and
retire to their trenches.

is Believed Russians Are Pressing
the Japanese Vigorously.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 11.-12:45 p.
ma period of anxiety is ahead
The Russian public have been warn
ed that, now the tables are turned and
the Russian army is advancing they
cannot expect news which might re-
veal General Kuropatkins plans to the
Japanese. The same reticence char.
acterized tn eJapanese offensive and
the latter being now on the defensive
will probably furnish the world with
more information of the Russian
movements than can be expected from
the Russian side.
With the curtain down on the war
stage many wild rumors may be ex-
pected Military critics hold the opin-
ion chat Kuropatkin's greatest chance
of success is a quick smash at the
Japanese positions, north of the Tai
tse rive, which would drive them in
confusion back to the river before they
had chance to prepare for their with
drawal
AS Kuropatkin's order of the day
was not given out until seven days
after the advance began, it would not
be surprising if heavy fighting was al
ready in progress. Indeed. the latest
newspaper dispatches say that an ar
tillery duel lasted throughout Sunday
on the center and right flank and that
the Japanese are everywhere re-
firing before the Russian advance
The statement that Kuropatkin is
moving on each side of the railroad
in order to have an easy line of com.
municatiOn would indicate his inten.
ton to make frontal attack, with
a possible turning movement from
the west, where the ground Is open
but there the river bars the way and
no decisive victory is seemingly pos.
sible unless he can reach the Japanese
line of communication below Lao
Yang. A military expert writes:
"It is difficult to say when Field
Marshal Oyama will accept battle.
Perhaps he will resist the advance at
various positions north of the Taitse
river and then defend the river. but
according to the latest unofficial re.
ports our troops are advancing along
the whole line and the cavalry is even
across the Taitse river"
