 Some girls dislike all lessons They would shed no tears if they never again had to memorize or reeite. if lessons were left wholly out of their calendar from this time onward hope you do not belong to their com pany or that if you do. you will make haste to leave it.
 There was Molly Sue. q girl knew when she was 16. pretty. soft-man- nered, sweet-voieed, but. oh! so lazy! She drifted through successive schools without learning anything always playing the role of d good natured. irresponsible shirk. Her Rittenish ways and dainty sweetness won her far too many excuses from her teach CTS, and among her friends the feel ing was well expressed by an artist, who said: Molly Sue does not need to know anything. II k quite enough to look al her, as one looks at per feet flower"
 But Molly Sue did not stay f6i She grew out of girlhood as you will too and after awhile people forgot to mo- tiee her when she was in the room with those who had brains and ideas The perfect beauty faded She be came withered rose The vacant mind was like a dusty lumber-room full of rubbish. It was all the great CT pity. for if somebody had taken Molly Sue by the shoulders and shaken her out of her indoenee when she was q schoolgirl. she misht have grown Up an interesting woman
 IL is your positive duty dear girl to 50 train mind. heart, will and dis position that you shall be neither stupid. silly. insipid nor tedioua when you are older An interesting woman. clever. enthusiastic. keen and respen= sive, is more to be desired han q beau- tifnl woman. and k more attractive in her home She will more deeply impress society.
 or course this girl was an exeep- ton. Most girls conquer their in eftia and study after fashion, for tunately most girls have q share of common sense Even reluctantly ac- quired knowledge is better chan none at all.

Trouble.

Chicago May 24.-All prospects Of
peace in the teamsters' strike have
disappeared and it will be open wa
from this time on. The last confer
ence looking toward a peaceable ad-
tustment was held last night between
James b. Barry, business agent fer
the express drivers union, and the %
cal managers of the seven express
companies. The conference had been
set for an early hour in the afternoon,
but owing TO the failure of Mr. Barry
TO receive. proper notice it was posi-.
poned until evening. When the meet
ing finally took place the conversation
was brief and pointed. Mr.. Barry stat
ing that the men would go back in q
body or not at all, and the ISpresen "a
tives Of the express companies dec,sr-
ing the men would not be taken back
under any circumstances. This brough:
the conference to a close.
The spread OF the strike was not as
large as was anticipated, It being I'M
derstood in many quarters that there
was still a possibility OF peace being
reached. Four hundred and sixty-two
drivers employed by twenty-eight
firms belonging TO the lumbermen's
association are out. Ia each case the
men were ordered 10 make deliveries
10 boycotte1 houses, and the usual
strike followed. Other firms to the
number of ffty-fve belonging to the
Lumbermen's Exchange Will make
similar requests Of their men today
and by night It Is expected that the
full number OF 1000 drivers employed
by these lumber concerns will be on
