To Prevent coreinq.

Cincinnati. o., Feb AT a special
meeting of rover and coal men yester.
day a fund was raised to be used in
freeing the local harbor from ice, All
the available towboats in the har-
Dor are TO be chartered and sent to
coney Island Thursday TO form bar
ricade against heavy ice coming from
above. The object is to prevent the
ice from gorging below Cincinnati,

of thousands of dollars to owners Of
floating property. This is the first
time such movement was made in
this harbor.

how the suffering Mrs. Wilson of Knox

Young Persons Opinions.

Very few young persons have the cour-
age Of their convictions or appear to he
able to make up their minds for them-
selves as to whom and what they ike.
and to act accordingly. They are SO
much influenced by each Others views
that one wonders sometimes where the
original starter Of an opinion can be,
they all seem SO supineIy resting ON each
other.
1T is a great pity" remarked an older
woman recently. that girls will let such
little things prejudice them against some
excellent young man who, properly APP
preciated, might make an excellent hus-
band. Some derogatory remark made
by companion-some absolutely un-
founded prejudice started by clique
of youthful critics-and a girl WHO. left
% herself, would have discovered roth
ing TO Criticise absolutely Toes not dare
to encourage him even u the extent Of
having him for cotii0n partner. 1t
goes without saying that it is never their
elders who WELD this iniuencc-not thor
parents or teachers. 1t is their own con-
tempoFaries whose opinions are all pow-
erful.
