We find the ladies engaged in all
kinds of reform work-humane So
cieties, foreign missionary societies,
home missionary socjties, etc. 1t
seems the latter field furnishs more
opportunity for work with all class-
es than any other: And there is one
branch in this field that is open for
reform among not only the worldly
classes, but there is vast field for
the refined, intelligent, religious
ladies to work in. i: We men don t
object to the ladies wearing beauti-
full hats in the proper place, but
when we find punches Of straw
planked down before us in church
that it is impossible to see over, We
claim the right to ''kick.'' +. r.

that church attendance was much

When I looked over those various

at it, and only wondered that there
were as many present as there were.
T came to the conclusion they either
must be good men, hen-pecked hus-
bands or sweethearts.
Z Ladies, it's up to you to show
your, good sense by starting the

not in one church, but in all the
churches, by removing your hats at
all public services. Ministers of oil

WORK OF MISSIONARIES.
Or. Newell Dwight Hills Delivers a
Strong. Sermon.

Dr. newell Dwight Hills Delivers
Strong Sermon.
New York, Oct. 24.-In a question
on the work Of missionaries in this
country during the last hundred years
the Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, in
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, has de-
clared that the men OF the wess are the
true moulders of the nations destiny
So accustomed are we to thinking that
Athens made Greece, that Rome made
Italy, that Paris made France, that
England is London, he said, that we
believe now that as New York goes,
SO goes the destiny of the United
States. But | say that as New York
goes, so does not go the destiny and
history of the United States. l do
not mean that New York has no in
fiuence, but we, in our self-sufficiency,
have come to over-emphasize our
selves.
The boy who is noprished in the
city, who, all his life has breathed only
the tainted air of the city and has
been cramped beneath his surround
ings, has no chance. 1t is the boy
who has been reared far from the COM
plexity of city life that does things
Here a man loses his individuality.
The men who will make themselves
known 20 years hence from now are
husking corn in Nebraska.
The real preachers" DR.. Hills went
on, ARE those whose work is done in
the west" and he contrasted their
field with his own, saying: Il am
man who spends his time mixing ton
les to try to get up an appetite in you
who are gorged to the point of glut-
tony.
There is no pessimism beyond the
mountains, no taking down of the in
situations of this country. These men
have now begun a revival of patriot
ism to oppose the pessimism of you
men of New York. 1t is the west that
has furnished the heroes for the last
two or three generations.
Here you are eating many kinds of
foods, pouring rich wines down your
threats, saturating yourselves vii
all kinds of ease and luxury and then
preparing to die out of life, when God
has put you here for something better
You are not happy, but in seven days
could make you happy. Organize
the resources of life in the interest of
the poor and weak and for misery you
will have happiness; for selashness
that corrodes, you will have a blade
that flashes more and more, and then
you will know real luxury-the lux
ury of service"

THE OUTLOOK MUCH BRIGHTER.

at the demand of his party Mr..
Cleveland has made a speech which
has received the warmest and heartiest
commentator Mr.. Bryan is con-
Guiding the wonderful campaign he
has made through Indiana, where he
swept the silver democrats into the
Parker column and saved the state to
democracy He has contributed his
time and talents to the cause Of his
party and 10 now receiving the hearty
commentator of democrats every
where, even of those who only recently
reviled him. Bat he has manifested
no soreness, He has avoided giving
offense to the gold democrats. He
has etudiously avoided giving any un-
pleasant references to the past, sim
ply contenting himself with saying
that he stood by what he had con-
ceived to be right, and was still stand.
ing where he always stood He made
it clear in his first speech that he was
heart and soul for Parker, and was in
this fight to win a democratic victory.
'sI would rather go down to eternal
OBLIVION that be instrumental in the
election of Roosevelt, " said Mr., Bryan,
and Mr.. Bryan will not go down to
eternal oblivion, whatever the result.
He has shown that he is a democrat OF
democrats; that he prefers party sue
cess to the wreaking of personal re-
venge, and is setting an example
for democrats in the future. It is
not personal revenge he seeks but
party success. And in his efforts
to achieve this, though the magnif.
cent campaign he has just made in the
Hoosier State, he is receiving the
plaudits of the democratic host. Some
have hitherto been plindly prejudicet
against Mr.. Bryan. They permitted
a few in the east to mislead them into
the belief that Mr.. Bryan was not
democrat, that he was really a popu
list, or socialist, or something of tina
sort, and that he would take the frs
occasion that presented itself to shov
his enmi'y to the party. Mr.. Bryal
has disappointed them, He has no
only shown that he is worthy of tn
high honor the party bestowed upol
him in the past, but he is capable O.
rising aboye petty spises and persona
grievances and real land imaginar
Sights and wrong, and be true an
loyal under circumstances that tr
manhood and party loyalty. Nj
Bryan has done yeoman service i
this campaign, and his success In In
diana has rendered the prospect {
democratic success very much brigh
er.

ADVERTISING DID IT.

He didn't have a dollar:
He didn't have dime,
His clothes and shoes were looking
AS though they'd served their time.
He didn't try to kill himself
To dodge misfortune's whacks,
Instead. he got some ashes
And filled five dozen sacks.
Next he begged dollar.
In the papers in the morn
He advertised tin polish
That would put the sun to scorn.
He kept ON advertising
And. Just now, suffice to say,
He's out in California
At his cottage on the bay.

Of building reservoirs near the head-wa-
