TILE ORDINARY WOMAN

We have noticed, that among The
many prizes given By Andrew 'Carne-
gle as a reward for bravery and be-
roism, none have been awarded to
women, say nothing of the ''ordin-
airy woman = Are women less brave
than men? True, the ordinary wo-
man may be afraid of o mouse, but
her record for true bravery will COM
pare favorably with man.
She may not jump up in front of a
runaway team to stop it or rescue a
FREUD from fifth story of burning
building, but we have women right
in this community who have exhibit
ed more true heroIsm than any man
wearing the Carnegie badge OF honor
for bravery.
Many Il soldier who bravely stood
at his rost of duty for two or three
years during our Civil war, is cover
ed with badges. We would not take
one from him, he merits them; but
many an ordinary z woman has stood
at her post of duty for thirty, forty
and even half a century, fighting
with sickness, poverty and discour-
and true Spartan courage
kept the wolf from the door and sa.
we'd the lives Of large family of chill
dren.
The man who saves one life recei-
YES a prize for bravery, his picture
in the metropolitan papers.

the world he was brave. Aud be was.
But the woman who has saved the
lives OF many is given no badge. and
seldom ever a.word OF commentator
The husband of the ordinary wo-
man has not the gilt OF making mon
ey He works bard but is poor
manager and the wolf never gets far
from the door. The good wife sews,
and cooks and mends for The man
who does not even give her d kind
word for pay. One has most truth
fully said that for zach Of her chill
dren she trod the Gethsemane of wo-
man, only to 90 through that slavery
of motherhood which the woman en-
dures who is too poor to hire cpmpe
tent nurses. For years aud year
she never knew what it was to have
a single night S unbroken sleep The
small hours of the morning found her
walking the floor with u sick babe, OF.
putting water to thirsty little lips
There was no rest for her night or
day. There was alwas a child in her
arms or c'inging 10 her skirts. OF
tenor than not She was sick and nerve
worn and weary almost unto death
but never failed to rally to the call OF
mother! as good soldier awlys
rallied TO the battle-cry.
No! ody called her brave and yet,
when one Of the children came down
with malignant diptheria she braved
death one hundred times in bending
over the little sufferer, without one
thought of danger, and when the lit-
lie one is laid away under the sod,
she who had loved most was tile first
TO gather herself together and take
up the burden of life for the others.
These ordinary women may not re-
ceivc Carnegie badge FOR bravery,
but He who marks the sparrow's
fall will certainly reserve for them
the brightest jswelcd crowns in his
kingdom.

True LOVE OF WOVEN

No woman will love a man better
for his being renowned or prominent
Though he, be the first among mon,
she will be prouder, not fonder; as is
often the case she will not even be
proud. But give her love, .apprecia-
ton, kindness, aad there is no sacri,
flee she viii not make for his content
and comfort. The man who loves her
we'll is her hero and king-no less a
king, though his oaly kingdom is his
heart and home, In nine cases out
of ten, it is man S fault that he is
with his wife. It isl very
exceptional woman. who will not be
all she can be to an attentive husband
and very exceptional one who Will
not be very disagreeable if she find
herself willfully neglected.

Time-Limit Extended.

Since becoming better acquainted
with tie enormous amount of money
its taking from our people to get
their down timber to market, and re-
Numbering too that tax-paying sea
son is on hand, we have concluded
to extend the time Tor putting into
effect the New Subscription price,
which is 81 when paid-in-adyance
only, and $125 when not so. till May
lst 1907, thus giving those who re-
main in arrears. a chance to recover
nom tax paying and get their money
back into pockets from expenditures
on timber, and get round to us to

WILL BIZ rxJ-eAL..


After listening atteat;vely g The
speeches Monday Of both the estima-
BILE gentlemen wha are offering for
the State Senate from this district
and observing that there are praeti-
cally no issues botweeu them; both
stand for a readjustment OF the pres
ent inequalities under which or POI
tion of the State suffers from the dis
tribution of the School fluids, repre-
sentation and Assessment, and both
pledged themselves to work TO this
end, and remembering two that both
are very close to us being from sister
counties, as W IL as considering the
fact that there are no issues which
Greene can get out of their campaign,
we have concluded out of de'erence
to these facts, and our close friend
ship and esteem of both men, not tc
declare for either in the race. They
will both announce with us and we
will remain impartial. There will b.
plenty of work for US to do for some
of the bigger Offices. For them We
can assist our people in selecting
perhaps a COOL choice. with these
men, we could not be of much Sc
vice in that respect, because they
dwell so close by and are acquainted
with so many of our people, and hav-
ing but four counties to get over,
will probably see face to face each
suffragist in the entire district
Where such u condition prevails vC
see no necessity TO interfere. Its
rather out Of our provinces, unless
some righteous cause demanded.

A genuine mother could no more
raise a bad boy into a bad man than
a robin could raise a hawk. When we
say a genuine mother we mean
something more than Il mother who
prays with her boy and sends him to
Sunday School All these things are
good, and indispensable as far as
they 90. but there is lot more to do
to train 4 boy besides praying with
him, just as thore arc things >necoss
sary to the cultivation of garden
besides reading manual. To suel
coed with roses one must prune, hoe
aid weed q great deal. To max boy
into pure man, mother must do more
than pray. She must live with him
in the sense of comrade and closest
friend. She must stand by him in
time of temptation as the pilot sticks
to the wheel when rapids are aroand.s
She must never desert him to go off
to superintend outside duties any

no one is exempt from the obligation

that an honest man is the nobIest
