viii come a food of new thoughts
and aspirations. She will see life
from a different view point and this
will prove a powerful mental stimu-
lent and add zest to the acquisition
of knowledge.
Many a girl to-day is enjoying in
~tellectual pleasures made possible to
her only by wider knowledge and
awakened interest gained at boarding
school, and many others have re-
turned home to raise the standard
of life by introducing new interests.
Culture is in the air at boarding
school and even the du1lest girl will
imbibe some o it.
There are persons who think it
best to send a girl away at twelve
years of age. Now, I do not think
it well to send her before her fiji
teenth birthday and it is often not
wise to have her go before she is six,
teen.
If she. has been mothers pet and
never yet learned to arrange her own
toilet without other help, the board
ing school will teach her many
things, but one of the most valuable
is that of self reliance. IF she has
acquired untidy habits of person OF
belongings, and these have been ex
cused at home, they will not be ex
cused at school, but cause comment
and censure; then if she has sell
respect or pride, this will arouse it
In constant association with others
she will see illustrated every day the
despoiling effects of vanity, selfish
ness, sarcasm, faultfnding, careless,
ness and all the thousand petty
flaws so common to girlhood. She
will see faults in others, of course
but when she must put up with an
moving faults in others, we a bt
reasonably sure that she will not fal
into those faults herself. There ar
many schools where girl nature il
thoroughly understood, and such
one will often strike the key note Of
the life of your girl and lead he
into the path for which nature ha:
fitted her.

"It is because Christ, as a living

GERMAN PAPERS ARE SILENT.
Refrsining From Any Comment Con
corning the War.

BERLIN, Feb. 27.-The silence of the
German press toward the war projects
itself upon the attention of anyone
searching the newspapers here for an
opinion about it. The news agency
dispatches from abroad are printed
with occasional explanations of their
meaning to military and naval stu
dents, but that is all The usually
opinionated editor has nothing to say
on the Japanese-Korean treaty, con-
alleged infringement of Korea's neu-
trality, whether the Kiel canal may
be used by belligerents, or on Foreign
Secretary Won Ricthofen's statement to
continued occupation of Chilli province
by the. troops of the powers. The
German newspapers on all subsidiary
questions growing out of the war, are,
with the exception of the free lance
and socialist papers, as mute as they
are upon the larger rights or wrongs of
the combatants. This silence places in
high relief the relation of the press to.
the governmental relation quite diff !
ferent from that OF the newspapers in |
any other country-on subjects of for
sign policy.
The government has given the press
o understand that neutrality in utter
ance and reserve as complete as the
governments own is a patriotic duty
Il this time. The foreign office has the
conviction that the German press has
arge powers of doing mischief in sup
lying material for ill-natured COM
nentators, and the government desires
o be perfectly free to act should action
e desirable at a later period in the
developments of events without foreign {
ceiling or that of either of the bellig-
rents having been excited against Ger
lany by injudicious comment The {
ress is thus held in restraint by no Il
legitimate influence as in the ''reptil- !
N days" of the late Prince Bismarck,
ut by impressing to the fullest extent Z
lat the governments foreign policy :

Through the discovery of gold and
copper ores of fabulous values former
Congressman P. J. Somers, of Mil
waul1ee, bids fair to become one of the
most noted magnates of Colorado. The
assays of specimens taken from near

as $4,000 a ton. There are seventeen
claims in the Somers group, through
which there is an immense, vein of cop
per also running high.

means of sledges and steamers some
100 tons of stores can be conveyed
across the lake in twenty-four hours.
From this he concludes that eight
trainloads can be taken across the lake
every day, and that this figure rep
resents the maximum capacity of the
traffic on the line of communication at
this important point It is a liberal
estimate, and it may be observed that
it only applies to the next three months
and is conditional upon the unlikely
event of both sleigh and steam traffic
continuing without interruption.-Lon-

A Norwegian chemist has discovered
a new and cheap process for making
alcohol from sawdust. Sawdust is
treated under pressure with diluted
sulphuric acid, by which the cellulose
is transformed into sugar, which, by
adding fermentation producers, is con-
verted into alcohol in the old manner
and then distilled.

THE BROWNLAW BILL.

We are in receipt OF communi-
cation from Congressman Walter p.
Brownlaw of Teennesee enclosing a
copy of the Brownlaw Bill new pen
ding in Congress, the object of
which is promotion of good wagon
roads in the United States. The
bill seeks to have Congress appro.
pirate twenty four millions of dol
lars to assist the several states in
construction of good wagon roads
Under its provisions every state
in the union will receive at least a
quarter OF million dollars condi-
toned upon their spending an equal
amount out of their own revenues so
that the least that would be spent
in any state on its wagon roads
would be half million dollars. The
expenditure Of half million dollars
on the wagon roads in our state
would undoubtedly result in several
times that amount of good to the
agriclturists of the state, and mea-
sure such as this bill contemplates
should receive the hearty support
Of all the farming and travelling
fraternity. OF course the people
who reside in the largecties will not
realize the need of good wagon
roads as we do, but even -s.i their
case good roads wou!d|be a benefit
SIS they would cheaper agricultural
products. lnfa pamphlet which &C.

ceived, there is fund of informa
ton in relation to the subject, ant
among other thing it is said that the
government has much larger in
come than it requires to meet its ex
penses. If this is the case it coulC
certainly afford to spend some o
this surplus revenue in the giving tC
the country better roads. 1t is like

There is a growing statement in
favor OF having the Ward hall com

added at comparatively small eXpen-

one for dramatic work. His idea is
to open up the west end of the hall

4 A great tribute has been paid
i Theodore Roosevelt. 1t has been
freely given because it has been
richly deserved. Roosevelt has
demonstrated that he is able to
stand alone-the severest test OF
greatness in men. He is a man of
action. He is honest. Even his
enemies will admit that he has
done what he believes to be right.
Naturally he has made mistakes.
He has antagonized the South.
But his record as a whole, his fear
lessness, his integrity of character,
his energy, his enthusiasm and un-
doubted ability overshadow any
errors in judgement. He is the
living embodiment of the spirit of
the times. There is no other living
man who is a better exponent Of
the best in American character.
He is the typical American. Yet
he has his faults-some very griev-
GUS. But in his faults he is still
representative of the American peo-
pie.
Roosevelt has great opportuni-
greater than that which has
been given to any President since
Lincoln. 1t is in his power to
break the "Solid South" 1t is in
power to guide the nation towards
the manifest destiny" which is
Enthusiastically ours, and yet steer
clear of the shoals and dangers of |
Imperialism. The years before us
are years of great promise and
greater responsibilities. A firm,
upright, patriotic, honest energet-
ic, statesmanlike man, loyal to the |
highest and noblest traditions of
our country, is needed at the head
Of the Government, Roosevelt is
all this, and there is no reason |
why he should not make the most
of his great opportunity, cement
ing the nation. preserving our ira
1itions and yet rising to our newer
responsibilities and opportunities

ions of the earth. We have part

A GREAT SUCCESS
rlsny Bcautifsd ard Useful ArtIciee
and Large Sales Made the
Bazaar . Success.

The basaar given by the Ladies'
Guild of Chriet church Last Friday
and Saturday was a grand success
in every way. The bazaar was
held in the sample rooms of the
Columbia hotel and the room pre-
sented pretty appearance as one
entered. The tulip bed in the win
dow was very attractive looking
and was we'll patronized by the
children. 1t was novel idea for
conducting grab bag and the toys
on the roots of the tulips made lots
of fun. This was in charge of Mrs.
T. NJ. Starrh, who spared neither
pains nor means to make it the
success it proved to be.
The next booth was the photo
graph booth which with its blue
and white decorations and many
colored pictures, was very pretty.
Here were sold calendars and pict-
ures of the various buildings about
town, as well as many pretty views
on the river. The men who were
in charge added fine sum to the
proceeds of the sale.
AS one proceeded, they came to
the apron booth, presided over by
Mesdames Hemphill and Novin-
ger, the illness of Mrs. Burnside
prevented her attendance. Here
one found all sorts OF pretty and
useful aprons and the demand for
them was shown by the large a.
mount of sales made. The trim
riings of the booth were red and
white and the booth was one of the
prettiest of the whole number.
The handkerchief booth was
done entirely in white with sprigs
Of cedar and presented q very pref
tv scene. Stretched between the
cedar trees were clothes
lines on which the handkerchiefs
were displayed and a real maid, in
the shape of a doll, was hanging
out the clothes. Mrs, F. w. Good
ing and Mrs. |. Hill attended to |
the wants of the many customers
It this booth and by Saturday
night their money box was well
ilifd. Next to this booth was the
pooth for fancy and useful articles. Il
presided oyer by Mesdames E. A.
Bowler, w. D. Croeker and Miss
Ella MeFall. Here a varied list of
lrticles were disposed of and the
'ariaty of things sold showed how
taried are the wants of the general
,ublie.
At the rear of the building, trim 9
ned in the good old red, white and !
Iue, and decked with the Ameri- ,
an flag, was the booth where home
aked goods we're sold. This booth
