Dutch Hero Cross.

Amsterdam. April 20-The Meth
erlands government has conferred
unique distinction on a colored pri-
vate named Pongo. Of the colonial
army, for conspicuous bravery in the
field. He was made knight of the
military order of William, which is
equivalent to the british Victoria
Cross. The motto Of this coveted
order, which is held by only thirteen
members Of the India army. mostly
officers of high rank, is, "For valor,
ability and faithfulness.
Years ago the Dutch authorities
found it advisable to create a special
token of reward for colored soldiers.
The red tape view was that negro
might be valorous and faithful, but
that he could not officially claim
military ability, so the colonial med
al for natives bears the words. ''For
valor and faithfulness," only.
Pongo is the first negro to achieve
the distinction Of the full order

Culture OF Young ladies-The Way
They Do.

When young ladies are about
sixteen years of age they think
they must leave home. When
they leave home they have very
few friends at home. The best
thing for young ladies to do is to
stay at home and the mother
would not have to do but very
lutte work. When they are in
the sixth or seventh grade at
school they quit and don't know
but very little.
The young ladies of this city
have very little culture. They
go in company when very young.
The girls and boys go away with
out their parents knowing where
they are. When you want to go
any place ask your parents. If
their parents say no, they go
whether or not. When they go
home and get a whipping they
are ready to leave. That is why
they are not as they should be.
