The Wathena Times makes the fol-
lowing contribution to contempora-
neous sociology:
No woman or girl should be above
learning to work, and not to know how
to do Homework is most discredItable.
Any girl in store or shop would be
better off doing homework at 90 a
week and board. And she would be
just as much thought of-be just as
high up, socially as now: besides hav-
ing more freedom and less hard work
than the girl clerk has The girl who
works In the home is really the most
useful and should be the most honor
ed. for good house girl has to know
more than the average girl clerk has
to know Again we repeat it-no
woman or girl shoaTd be above house

when was going to school we had
fellow in our class who was "a plug.
ID was always the butt of ridicule for
the rest of us and never seemed to have
any friends. His clothes looked funny
and he had awkard, simple ways over
which we had much sport. No one
thought the plug would ever get any
where. But today that plug is drawing
a larger salary than any two of the
smart fellows. He has more money.
more influence and more friends than
any of the rest of US. The plug had a
gait that was slow, but it was sure.
He didn't appear to be bit bright in
those school days, bat he had surface
that took on polish. The rust wore off
and he became a clear cut, sparkling
nugget. The fellow in the class who
made the most fun of the plug was
slated for the presidency of the United
states, he was SO smart. But a few
years later he signed the wrong mans
name to check, and he hasn't done
much since. So don't make too much
fun of the plug. A plug colt generally
makes a plug horse, but plug boy
doesn't always make plug man. The
plug boy of today may be your boss to-
morrow. Cultivate the plug more and
the smart Alec less. 1t will pay you

ensued a fight to preserve the honor
Of the French army.
Dreyfus, on November is, 1897

most discriminating document but the
latter was acquitted by court martial
in the following January.
The late Emile lola warmly espoused
the cause of Dreyfus and made sefioui
charges against tie French general
STAFF and was condemned to pay q
heavy fine and suffer imprisonment
but the sentence was quashed.
When NJ. Cayaignac became head Of
the French war office he read In the
chamber of deputies several documents
which he said, proved the guilt OF
Dreyfus.
Col. Picquart afterwards charged that
these documents were forgeries, for
which he was arrested and degraded.
The circumstances Of Capt. Dreyfuf
returning to the army have not YET
been determined upon but 1t is ex-
pected that he will take the grade OF
lieutenant-colonel Of artillery which he
would have reached II his service had
not been interrupted.
The cabinet will hold special ses'
sion to determine on the course to
follow in view of the decision Of the
supreme court. 1t has already been
determined however, that besides the
restoration of Dreyfus, to the army
special bill will be presented to par
lament authorizing the minister of
war to restore Col. Picquart, whose
sense Of justice brought about the
quashing of the verdict Of the Rennes
court martial, to the army, from
which he was degraded owing to the
charges which he brought against the
late Col Henry.
