Women AL lawmakers.

Nineteen women holding seats in
congress. What do you think of it?
Not in any little congress Of Womens
clubs or anything Of that sort, but in
the lawmaking body Of nation.
Not one in ten thousand people in
this quarter of the globe know this is
fact, although there Is really no rea-
son why they should not know it.
These women have won congressional
honors and assumed the duties of law
makers in Finland. At the election
held in that country only couple Of
weeks ago the socialists developed sur.
prising strength, and, consistent with
their pretensions, they nominated q
number of women for congressional
seats. This forced the other parties
to do the same thing.
When the ballots were counted 1t
was found that 10 women had been
elected, nine of them socialists. They
have taken their seats and promise
to make good lawmakers. To fully ap.
preciate the Importance of this it must
be borne in mind that never before
have women or woman been elected
to the national lawmaking body Of any
country -Woman's National Daily.

snent Shot Kills Ducks.

The wild ducks in this vicinity are
affected with new and fatal disease
which is killing them off by scores.
Dead ducks are drifting ashore in
numbers, which shows that the dis
ease is epidemic among the fowls. An
old trapper and duck hunter of this
vicinity who has practically spent his
life at those vocations gives theory
for the epidemic which sounds ration
al. He says: PUT shot Of the
smallest kind in kernel of grain and
feed it to any kind of fowl and the
first thing you know the fowl will die
Now, if you will bring up sand from
the bottom of river or lake you will
be surprised at the number OF shot
YOU will find, which has been fired
away by duck and goose hunters. In
the spring the ducks are ravenous for
gravel or sand and dive to the bottom
to secure them, getting shot into their
gizzards with the sand or gravel and
diving in consequence. If you don't
believe it examine as many OF the
dead ducks as you please, and II you
don't find one or more shot in each
of their gizzards just set me down as
a numskull. That's all there is of it.

Pluck.

How often you hear one business
man say of another who has been sue
cessful: "Ain't he 1ueky?" Luck has
nothing to do with anyone's success.
1t is pluck.
Pluck and enthusiasm are the pow
ers which make the winner. With
these two qualities, which are in
variably found together, man will
succeed.
Business men who have achieved
greatness in their line are those who
possess an abundance of enthus-
tasm.
A possession that is better than any.
faing else to man is that determine
ton of character known as pluck, and
ali enthusiastic confidence that he will
succeed.
To persevere against great odds,
and to make victorious fight in the
face of almost impossibilities it re-
Quires pluck which is not governed by
impulse.
To cultivate pluck one must encour-
age steadfaStneSS OF purpose. Wnen
a thing is begun it should be fin
ished.
The trouble with most of us is not
so much that we have hard row
to hoe but that we dislike hoeing.
Opportunity knocks once-and often
dozen times-at every door, but
you have no kick against the fates if
Opportunity knocks, finds you lost in
q pipe dream and turns away never to
return.
Bacon said: "The mold of mans
fortune is in his own hands"
All men cannot be captains of indus

coed even moderately, but all men car
make an effort to succeed.

higher and better place until We are

Painful Feet.

Pretty feet are always painful feet,
Shoes rarely If ever fit them. Hence
they carry their possessors haltingly
and too ccten they must direct them
selves t6r-ard the chiropodist's.
The high, arched instep, the pretty
foot's essential quality, is yet In a
way a doformity, for it causes an abb
normal tightness Of the tendons gov
erning tie toes, and the toes in con-
sequence all turn under a little as
though trying to grasp something.
Turning under, the joints stand out
prominently, just as the knuckles
stand out when the fingers are closed.
The leather of the shoe rubs and IT.
ritates these prominent joints and the
pretty foot's owner pays the penalty
in many a smart, in many a jumping
pain.

THE STORY.

THE two men rose with naughty dis
! dain and indicated that the inter-
view was at an end, and the elders of
Israel realizing that further appeal
and remonstrance were useless, took
their departure. At the door the
spokesman of the company turned, and
said, with angry rising infection in his
voice:
Samuel, thy father, shall hear of
this, for surely he did not appoint thee
to pervert judgment in Israeli"
And without pausing to hear wheth-
er any reply were made the elders
passed down along the pathway and
soon disappeared around the turn in
the road which led back to the north
ern country. They had come in re-
Spouse to the many complaints which
the people were constantly making
of Samuel, whom the latter had ap-
pointed as judges over the nation at
Beersheba. It was only too evident
that the cause of justice was being
neryerted by the use of money. The
elders had been reluctant from the
first to believe the reports brought to
their ears, but as time went on and
the complaints grew louder and more
numerous they were forced to give
the matter consideration, and had at
last decided to go in a body to Beer
sheba and place the charges directly
before the accused judges, in effort
to bring about a reform. This they
had done with the result just set forth
in the opening of our story.
Some years before when Samuel's
increasing years made it more and
more a burden to go about and dis
charge the duties of judge, he had APP
pointed his two cons, Joel and Abiah,
to aid him in this work, and had es-
tablished their headquarters at Beer
sheba, while he continued to dwell at
Ramah. This arrangement at first
seemed to give entire satisfaction, but
the people of Israel loved and honored
Samuel, whom they recognized as the
one chosen of God to be judge and
prophet over the nation. and they viii
ingly acknowledged his right to name

Push All the Time.

lit pays to push when business Is
good, 1t pays to push when business is
bad.
If IL pays to push when business is
bad, it pays to push when business Is
good.
II it pays to push at all, it pays to
push all the time.
Therefore, don't let it die.
When everything is coming your
way, push to make it come the faster.
When everything is going the other
way, push to make it come back to
you.
Push all the time and you'll feel
the better for it, and make more
money.
It takes hard thinking and hard
work to increase business in the face
of strong competition. But the bust
ness is there, and somebody will get it
you or your neighbor, or perhaps
your competitor in the next town.
Which shall it be?
Help your employees increase your
business.

Let It Be Known.

You may know that you have the
best assorted stock in town, but the
public will not know it unless you tell
them about it; they are not clairvoy-
ants. First use the newspapers iber-
ally, then circulars, personal letters,
talk to them when you can catch them
in your store, al their homes-any-
where. The first and last thing to
bear in mind about advertising is that
it is as wide as human nature in it's
appeal.
Advertising is the mighty engine of
success, and without it the business
world would be minus its dynamo OF
energy.

comfortIess Furnishing.

Rooms are furnished nowadays with
a view to effect rather than to COM
fort. Furniture is charming, never has
better taste been displayed, generally
speaking, in furnishing, and yet it is
rare, when one comes to think of it,
that one goes into a really cosy
comfy" room, where the average wo.
man looks thoroughly at home, and one
feels at once rested in mind and body.

Success.

The secret of most successes lies in
the man rather than in the method.
Making people want the goods is,
after all, about as near the secret of
it as there comes to being any secret.
Make the public want what you have
to sell and the sale is half made.

That Man with the overaIIs.

When the man with the oyeralls
comes into your store don't turn
around and take your time to wait on
him. Don't snub the man with the
overalls in order to wait upon some
elite of your town-that is, if the over
all man came into your store first.
Your overall man usually stands by
the home town. He works in the
shops, in the stock yards, in the fac.
tories and in the mills. Ills dollar Is
just as good as the dollar given to
you by the man who tries to put on
all kinds of airs in your town. The
old American eagle on the silver collar
given to you by the man attired in
oyeralls counts for just as much and
screams Just as hard as the bird on
the dollar turned over by the man
who belongs to the upper tens" Be-
sides, If the man in the overalls wants
credit until Saturday night or until
the first of the month, you'll stard to
win to get the cash from him when
he says he'll pay you. Don't give him
the marble heart You want his
trade He needs dry goods and gro
ceries, and he will spend his money
with you if you treat him right.

Preaching the precepts of self denial to men

these men of God came as enemies making war on

From the cradle to the grave, this religion of
the strangers forced their savage natures new

ton and of life. 1t entered above all into that

from that of their neighbors, the Clifords It was
long and wide. Clarice had stipulated that it should

said but [ shall this summer"
And she did By and by she began TO have diff

The sweet-pea hedge was becoming responsibilitv.
quite as much delight. She knew that constant
picking was essential to steady blooming. Every
morning she went to work resolutely proposing TO
pick every flower which had unfolded since yester-
day. and the saucv buds opened before her eyes
When She at the end of the row she almost felt

warned Aunt Priscilla: but Clarice only sighed
Il shan't have but half as many next year" she
said. That Is, if I have any. I'm almost sick of
sweet peas
Then came the sprained ankle After the first
suffering was over Clarice thought about the sweet
pea hedge. Of course it would be neglected She
must make up her mind to that. She noticed that
there always fresh bunch in the vase on her
table. but she said nothing It was not until she
was able to limp out on the porch one day that she
asked any questions. Then she exclaimed:
why, how well the sweet peas are looking"
Yes" said Aunt Priscilla. 'they have had good
care"
But who did it. auntie? Not you. surely?"
No, indeed child The little Cliffords have
been picking the posies.'
1T was very good Of Them" said Clarice re-
Wondering uncomfortable that she had warned the
children against touching the flowers.
1t seemed great pleasure to them. And, as
many as there are there were never quite as many
as they needed"

They always brought bunch here first, and
then took one home All the neighbors have been
remembered in turn. There has been great bunch

they carried basket to the blind asylum once l
know they have been several times to the hospital
Even the baby helps in the picking. 1t is pretty
sight TO see them like butterflies about a flower

But Clarice was thinking of something else.
Yes" she was saying to herself, when you have
great deal and try to keep it all for yourself. it
seems like a burden. You get the real pleasure
out Of it when you begin to use it for others"
She looked down at the sweet pea hedge, across
which came the chatter of children's voices, and
she made up her mind that it should not be any
smaller next year
