along that line. At first we thought
he might bs suffering frvm an over
strain of the volitive faculties, the
cause OF which some girl might
have looked at him aud laughed,

ing to treat HIM by mail at that

structions and take good care of
himself. The instructions are as
follows: Never call on a young
lady until you have had an lutro-
duction to her; don't 60 then un.
less You know your company ia az
ceptable. If Il young lady looks
at you and laughs, don't make too

member the old man and the old

lady says "hpwdy" or makes you n
polite bow, don't walk ten miles
the next Sunday t. get to look at
her and laugh maybe when you
got there some one else would be
enjoying the fun and a twenty
mile walk on an empty stomach is
not very palatable. Never marry
without a chance; it would be u
lonesome lite to live. Never be
Jealous hearted. Now follow these
instructions very closely, aud il
you get no better let me know

some time ago we didn't know of u
single pretty girl on the route close
enough for him to see, except the

THE EARaInR WITH SIX alRLs.


A friend, a farmer blessed with six
daughters and no sons, asks us wheth.
or Ii would be all right for man
30 fixed to require OF his girls more
in the way OF farm work than IL
usually allotted to the women OF the
farm home-in other words, would Il
be all right for him to require them to
milk the COWS, take care Of the garden,
drive the team on the mower or har.
vester, ride the sulky plow and do 9th
er cleanly and not laborious work con-
nected with the farm operations2 This
woman question Is always II very deli
cate one to handle. 1t depends much
on how the girls feel, how their mother
feels and how they have been brought
up. In the matter of employment there
Is nothing which woman studies sc
closely as It's effect upon her social
standing-what Mrs. Grundy says and
all that-thc fact being that there 10
nothing one woman Is so much afrait
of as another woman. The line OF EN-
ploymcnt suggested is In no sense un.
womanly, for every mother and house
keeper does harder. dirticr 0nd more
unpleasant work, and such outdoor
employment would insure what sc
many American women lack IT fine
physique, immaculate heakh, inde.
pcndcnce of thought and action. The
financial condition of the family has
some bearing on the matter. If the IA.
ther is poor and has hard row to hoe
his girls should certainly help him. no
matter what Mrs. Grundy says; il well
able TO support them without such
work on their part it is still quito like
ly that they could not do better thar,
help him anyway, for, speaking from
the mans side, they would become
very attractive indeed to young men
looking for desirable mates. Maud
Muller turned the Judges head MS he
met her in the bayfield,; Ruth while
cleaning in the field captured Boaz,
and 1t Is n fact that sweet girl never

and drive n team, do the marketing,
pay the taxes, sing In the choir and

more desirable and attractive PROPOSE
