TO YOUNG HoUsEKEEpERs

Be satisfied to commence on a
small scale. 1t is too common for
young housekeepers to begin
where their mothers ended. Buy
all that is necessary to work skill
fully with; adorn your house with
all that will render it comfortable.
Do not look at richer homes and
covet their costly furniture. If
secret dissatisfaction is ready to
spring up, go step further, and
visit the home of the suffering
poor; behold dark, cherries apart
ments, insufficient clothing, and
absence Of all the comforts and
rehncments of social life, and then
return to your own with a joyful
spirit. You will then be prepared
to meet your hus band with a CRATE
ful heart, and be ready to appreci-
ate the toll and self denial which he
has endured in the business world
to surround you with the delights
of home; and you will cooperate
cheerfully with him in so arrang-
ing your expenses, that his mind
will not be continually harassed
lest his family expenses may en-
croach upon public payments. BE
independent; young housekeep-
er never needed greater moral
courage than she does now, to
resist the arrogance OF fashion. Do
not let the AS and BIS decide what
you shall have, neither let them
hold the strings of your purse. 1t
matters but little what people
think, provided that you are true
to yourself, to right and duty, and
keep your expenses within your
means.

the fall Of 1918 to hunt game. The
three white men had jolly time ILL.,

There were plenty of Indians there
then who belonged to the Usage tribe.
They had small village at th mouth
OF Swan creek, where the present town
OF Forsyth now stands. These Indians
had a friendly disposition and treated
the white men with respect. One day
during that fall the Indians and white
hunters got into discussion over the
strength Of their best men. McAdoo
was large, robust fellow, and a noted
wrestler. His muscular power was
nearly equal with that OF mule. One
OF the Indians WAS possessed of un-
usual strength and was very active.
Finally each side agreed to prove its
champions skill and strength by hav-
ing them wreste on wager. using
back holds or Indian hug. The one

win the contest and wager. Each side
put up its property. The three white
men put up their horses and equip.
ments, camping outfits, guns, ammunl.
tion and buckskin hunting shirts. The
Indians put up their ponies, blankets,
bows and arrows and trinkets to the
same amount in value. The day was
set on which to decide the contest, and
the place selected was the Indian vii
lage. When the day arrived the whites
were promptly on hand and iubilant
over the prospect OF success, The pre-.
liminary arrangements were soon COM
pleted and number Of Indians had
collected to witness the performance.
Plenty OF room was allowed the two
champions to measure their strength
against each other. All the Indian

given TO commence they went TO work
in earnest. At the first round the
Indian threw McAdoo to the ground,
which caused much merriment among
the Indians; they fairly yelled with de-
light. But in the second and third
roun ds the white mans skill and
strength prevailed and the Indian was
fairly vanquished to the great delight
of the whites. But the faces of the
Indians were as solemn as the grave.

OF these visits, after the braves had

1t was hustle, hustle and noise in the

THE TRUE WIFE.

By far too many of our young
ladies marry without the remotest
idea Of the duties and obligations
that must be discharged by a wife;
and what is the result2 Neglect,
estrangement, and ruin. The true
wife will not leave her household
affairs wholly to the careless over
seeing servants, nor will the true,
loving mother leave her children
to the care of others. We do not
think any woman has the right to
marry until she feels herself quail
fed to take her place as mistress
OF household economies-queen

young ladies were educated for the

tiles, there would be far less un-

not be censured as the majority
now are for marrying for selfish
interests-for wealth, ambition,
