Her Master Was a Gentleman.

A Boston couple were recruit
ing near Augusta, and met an
old negro woman to whom they
took fancy. They invited her
to pay them visit, and the col
ored woman accepted, especially
as her expenses were to be paid.
In due time she arrived in
Boston and was installed in the
house of the white folks. She
was given one Of the best rooms,
and ate at the same table with
her host and hostess.
At one of the meals the hos
tess said: "Mrs. Jones, you were
a slave, weren't you?"
Eyes, num-" replied the old
colored woman. 81 belonged to

FOR THE BOYS.

You who are men in years
just entering manhood, stop and
consider life as it is. Remem-
Der, "action is the essence of
character" good or bad. This
character building is a daily
thing, so consider your ways and
weigh your actions, and build
wisely.
What are your aims? Are you
striving to develope yourselves,
mentally and morally, so as to
have an influence in your COM
munity? Our boys will be the
future men of our country, our
lawmakers, and they should be
men who honor the law; they
should be men of principal, who
cannot be corrupted by brides A;
who have a moral courage to do
their duty. When a community
lacks such men, evil and corrup-
tion predominant. How much
the well-being of community
depends upon the honest, up
right men in it.
Many temptations beset the
young and they come in contact
with evil influence in every voca-
ton in life. Yet there is within
yourselves, boys, a counteracting
force (if used) that will enable
you to withstand temptations,
and to overcome the evil inhu-
ences with which yon will surely
come in contact. Bring your
reasoning powers to bear. Argue
with yourselves the certain moral
degradation if you continue in
the wrong course. Bring your
will power to bear and keep I'M
der the low appetites and the lit
tie, mean things that corrupt
any who give way to them.
Have a high standard, choose a
right, open path in life. Moth
ing to hide, nothing to be asham-
ed of.
Listen to the counsel of your
parents. Seek the home nest
and its pure influences. Shun

The average housekeeper in
modern circumstances spends
most of her time in the kitchen
doing work that might be much
lightened if only she would bring
herself to think so. But the av-
erage mother of family simply
will not spare herself. She ruff
fes and tucks the children's
clothing so that she may have
more ironing to do, and cooks
many more different dishes for
the table than necessary whole
someness, thus making yourself
much more work in this direc-
tion. Better spare herself,
housemother, even though your
family live simply. How much
more pleasant will husband and
children be to see mother look

heated and tired-too worn out
to enjoy the dainty repast she
has worked so hard to serve.

 Tn return for the restoration of the i903 scale of wages the Illinois miners nave agreed to pay the wages of shot nrers and to ask for the repeal of the law by the next legislature. They nave agreed also to indemnify the op- orators for the loss sustained through the action of pit committees in calling unauthorized strikes. This latter griev ance was one of the most serious ob jections the operators had against the union. Under the new agreement the union will be responsible for the con duct of the miners and guarantees, that no such strikes will be permitted in the future.
 At conference here Monday be- tween representatives of the Ohio and Illinois operators the latter asked 10 be released from their agreement rot to settle with the miners until a set. tlement could be reached in Ohio and Indiana.
