The Ordinary Woman.

We have noticed, that among the many
prizes given by Andrew Carnegie as a
reward for bravery and herosm, none
have been awarded to women, say moth
ing of the ordinary woman" Are wo-
men less brave than men? True, the
ordinary woman may be afraid of a mouse,
but her record for true heroism and brave
ny will compare favorably with man.
She may not jump in front Of a run
away team to stop 1t or rescue a friend
from the fifth story of burning building,
but we have women right in this commu-
nifty who have exhibited more true hero
ism than any man wearing the Carnegie
badge of honor for bravery.
Many soldier who braveIy stood at
his post of duty for two or three years
during oar civil war, is covered with
badges. We would not take one frem
him, he merits them; but many an "ordi-
nary" woman has stood at her post of
duty for thirty, forty and even half a
century, fighting with sickness, poverty
and Encouragement, and true Spartan
courage kept the wolf from the door and
saved the lives of a large family of child
rem.
The man who saves one life receives a
prize for bravery, his picture appears in
the metropolitan papers, and he wears a
medal which says to the world he was
brave. And he 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 woman
has not the gift of making money. He
works hard but is poor manager and the
wolf never gets far from his door. The
good wife seWs, cooks and mends for the
man who does not even give her kind
word for pay. One has most truthfully
said that for each of her children she trod
the Gythsemane of woman, only to go
through that slavery of motherhood which
the woman endures who is too poor to
hire competent nurses. For years and
years she never knew what it was to
have single nights unbroken sleep.
The small hours of the night found her
walking the floor with a sick babe, or
putting water to thirsty little lips. There
was no rest for her day or night. There
was always child in her arms or cling
ing to her skirts. Oftener than not she
was sick and nerve worn and weary al
most to death but never failed to rally to
the call of "mother!''-as a good soldier
always rallied to his battle-cry.
Nobody called her brave and yet, whe n
one Of the children came down with ma
lignant dipthcria she braved death one
hundred times in bending over the little
sufferer, without one thought Of danger,
and when the little one was laid away
under the sod, she who had loved most
was the first to gather herself together
and take up the burden Of life for the
others,
These ordinary women may not receive
a Carnegie badge for bravery, but The
who marks the sparrow's fall" will GER
tainly reserve for them the brightest
|jeweled crowns in His kingdom.

True Love of Women.

No woman will love man better for
his being renowned or prominent. Though
he be the first among men, she will be
prouder, not fonder; as is often the case
she will not even be proud. But give her
love, appreciation, kindness, and there IS

TIE HOME CIRCLE.

Good manners are not taught in the
school books. They are found in the
home lessons.
What do you think of man who will
sit down to the table three times a day,
and thank the Lord for bread which he
has swndled some poor man or beat his
grocer out of?
1t is we'll to be charitable in all our con
illusions, mindful that we often need the
cloak of charity ourselves. Fill life with
sunshine and streW flowers where others
throw stones. Make life a bright spot in
this world and where you see flowers cast
smiles, and whether it be morn, dusk or
night, let the sunny side of nature always
be at full meridian.
1t would astonish many of us sometimes
if we could know what our neighbors
think of US. Every man has some kind
of a standing in the community where he
lives, and he is sized up great deal closer
than he has any idea of. You may set
it down as fact that there isn't a twelve
year old boy in the neighborhood who
hasn't his opinion of you, and he wouldn't
be slow about expressing it either, if a
stranger should ask him for it. Every
man is always making character, whether
he is doing anything else or not.

What Shall | Teach My Child?

Teach him that it is better to die than
to lie; that it is better to starve than to
steal; that it is better to be scavenger or
a woodchopper than an idler and dead
beat; that it is just as criminal and repre-
hensible to waste Monday as to desecrate
Sunday; that labor is the price of all
honest possessions; that no one is exempt
from the obligation to labor with head,
hands or heart; that can honest m an is
the nobIest work of Cod" that knowledge
is power; that labor is worship and idle
ness sin; that 1t is better to eat the crust
of independent poverty than to Iuxuriate
amid the richest viands as a dependant.
Teach him these facts till they are woven
into his being and regulate his life, and
we will insure his suecess-though the
heavensfall..
A genuine mother could no more raise
a bad boyinto bad man than robin
could raise a hawk. When we say a
genuine mother" we mean something
more than a mother who prays with her
boy and sends him to Sunday school.
All these things are good, and indispensi-
bic as far as they go, but there Is a 10
more to do to train boy besides praying
with him, just as there are things neces-
sary to the cultivation of garden besides
reading a manual. To succeed with roses
one must prune, weed and hoe a great
deal. To make, a boy into a pure man, a
mother must do more than pray. She
must live with him in the sense of COM
rade and closest friend. She must. stand
by him in time Of temptation as the pilot
sticks to the wheel when rapids are
around. She must never desert him to
go off to superintend outside duties any
more than the engineer deserts his post
and goes into the baggage car to read up
engineering when his train is pounding
across the country at forty miles an hour.

The present state senate de-
serves to be and will be remem
bered for the effective stand it
made against that click of hold
over senators with Lincoln Da-
Wis, the ex-policeman from Ia
coma, at its head. Ever since
the state was organized a small
band of corporation-serving law
makers have dictated terms. No
measure so bad. if it had their
endorsement, but could be past.
No measure, however merito-
rious, lacking their support, but
would be defeated.

FRIDAY, JANUARY rs, 1907.
A list MEASURE

The bill regulating the driving
of sheep from one county into
another which Representative
King has introduced in the house,
a copy of which is printed in this
issue of the Echo, ought to be
passed. 1t is a just and equit-
able law For years the sheep
men of eastern Washington have
driven their flocks into the coun-
ties lying along the Cascade
mountains for the purpose of
grazing and fattening them for
market on the free range in the
mountains. AS near as can be
estimated $50, 600 sheep that be-
long in other counties are driven
into this county and grazed here
during the five months of warm
weather. These sheep are all
rendered for taxation in the
county where their owner resides
and feeds his sheep during the
winter and spring. Nothing
damages our mountain roads as
much as driving bands of sheep
over them. Every summer there
is more or less litigation grow
ing out of the presence of these
sheep, causing an expense to the
county. Mr.. Kings bill is in
tended to remedy this matter by
making the counties where these
sheep are rendered for taxation
pay to the county where they are
held during the summer a sum
equal to the time they are so
held.
The bill provides that any
money coming into the county
treasury from this source shall
be turned into the road fund.
This fund, always inadequate to
the needs for road improvement.
will thus receive a substantial
sum of money.
It would seem that a measure
of this kind, appealing to the
sense of justice, should be
promptly enacted into law.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1907-01-25

urer of the county where the sheep be-
long shall be paid to the treasurer OF

ty where such sheep belong into any
other county in this state, for the puI'-
pose of grazing and pasturage, or who

DIR. Hoxsey has bump OF humor on
his head, as witness the following:
Mrs. Hoxsey was unfortunate enough
to get caught in Skykomish before the
big snowslides started in the noun
tains. There was no way for her to
reach home, no trains being able to
move Somebody must have tapped or
hit the aforementioned humor bump on
the Doctors head and started it going,
for it got tremendously busy. With a
smile on his face the Doctor made a
bee line for the telegraph office. He
strobe up to the window and planked
some coin of the realm on the board.
He yelled out, Say you, gimme tel
egraph blank and be quick about it. y
He got one and his next call was for a
pencil which was produced in 4;40 time.
Then with brow clouded and feyerishly
biting the pencil one minute, writing
the next, and erasing the next, the
Doctor finally composed the following
telegram;
Mrs. Hoxsey, Skykomish, Wash,
Ais well. Come home at once.
DR.. Hoxsey.
This evidently failed 10 make her
climb over about fifty snowslides, or go
around by Salt Lake to get home, for
the Doctor again enriched the Western
Union by breaking loose like this;
Mrs. Hoxsey, Skykomish, Wash,
Ais well. Why don't you come
home? DIR. Hoxsey.
