that it is to be recognized more and
more that girls as well as boys may
and should be self-supporting:
The girl who sits around idle all
the busy day, reads few French
novels does a little fancy work. Cos
sips idly with others who have moth
ing in particular to do, tangles and
untaugles silks and worstedsad infin-
itum, and then waits for some silly
young man (for no young man of
good common sense would want such
a girl for wife) to come along and
take her off her own hands, has gone
out of fashion.
The girl of the twentieth century,
il she would be popular, must have a
business as well as u boy-a vocation
of some kind. That is useful and
needful to all is true. What, says
some fair, sweet faced girl surely |
don need it, am only a child. My
father is rich. In our home of wealth
there is nothing lacking of comfort
and happiness, of beauty and grand
eur. All, yesl but riches often take
to themselves wings, and fly away,
and a turn of fortunes S wheel hurls
wealthy people down to poverty ev-
cry day. Your hope paints your flu
ture in azure and gold. God grant
that your dreams may be realized,
but there is SO great danger that
they may fail that it is wise to pre-
pare for failure and fin your path
way the flowers burn brightly and
over your head shines the sun, his
c 1er-smiliug face from the clear blue
sky, and no dark clouds ever gather
0 'er you, you will enjoy them more
for having the unfailing knowledge
that if shipwreck does come you will
have the life of thorough knowl- |
edge to some useful line of work. |
Let US be true to ourselves, study our
own interests, and aim to be true
women, Who'll live for some noble cause. |
Better learn to do one thing perfect
ly than a hundred imperfectly.
And in all our tho.s for the future
aspiring and doing let us remember
that to God we owe all our success
gained, that to him we owe our warm
est love, and our brightest most
useful days.

WHAT A WOMAN CAN Do.

She can come to decision without
the slightest trouble OF reasoning on
it; and no sane man can do that.
Six of them can talk at once and
get along first rate, and no two men
can do that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in
her dress while he is getting one UNI
der his thumbnail.
She is as cool as a cucumber in half
a dozen tight dresses and skirts,
while man will fret and fume an |
growl in one loose shirt.
She can talk sweet as peaches and
cream to the woman she bates, while
Two men would be punching each
others head before they had ex-
changed ten words.
She can appreciate q kiss from her
husband scventy-five years after the
marriage ceremony is performed
She can go to church and after
ward tell you what every woman had
on, aud in some rare instances can
give some faint idea what the text
was
She can walk half the night with
colicky baby in her arms without once
expressing the desire Of numbering
the infant.
She can-but what the use? A
woman can do anything or every
thing and do it well
She can do more in minute than
man can do in an hour and do it
better
She can drive a man crazy for
twenty-four hours and then bring
him to paradise in two seconds by
simply tickling him under the chin,
and there does not live that mortal
son of Adam S misery who can do il

at misfortune and the mistakes he
has made in life, and has the cour-
age to correct them and work man
fully to make amends, has that in
him which deserves success in the
end. III humOr sulkS in its tent.
The sun never shines bright enough
to drive away the clouds of gloom
which continually surround it. 1t
has snap and snail for any who
may attempt to point out d better
way or offer crumb of comfort in
case of real need Good humor rises
to the occasion and meets misfortune
with smile, borrower much tie heart
may be panied, forgetting its own
cart pains by lending d helping hand
to those less fortunate. Good humor
is a fortress, q strong tower, where
the possessor may flee to gather his
strength for a renewed battle with
difficulty and danger. Good humor
is SimnlN invincible. A man who
laughs at misfortune and sets his face
bravely to the right as God has Civ
en- him to see it is worth more to the
world by far than the snarler who
sets down amid a broken fortune to

Courtesy, like charity should begin

pect to ind the same degree Of cere-
mony placticed there as the formal
ties OF mere acquaintanceslip exact,
but there certainly should not be
less respect and Difference raid to
those who are nearer and dearer to

is u gentleman in his home and among
those who comprise his immediate
household, can be trusted to do moth
ing unbecoming to a gentleman when
beyond the precincts of home; but
the man who is courtesy itself when a.
broad is oGtentimes the veriest boor

himself on being a gentleman; but he
is deficient in the elementary ms tints

Wilkinson Speaks at Pavilion

Thursday was Wilkinson day il
Opelousas, and the townspeople
and devotees celebrated right
royal in honor of the distinguished
gentleman, Hon. Theodore Will.
kinson, candidate for governor of
this great commonwealth. A
novel yet pretty and pleasing
feature of the program was the
carriage and japanese lantern pa
rade through the business streets.
between 8 and 9 p. M, the recep-
tacIes being largely laden with
the fair sex. The pageant was
headed by Perrodin's band.
Hon. Thomas Lewis opened
the meeting with an able speech
in interest Of Col. Wilkinson, and
was frequently applauded. Judge
K. ID. Hunter of Alexandria was
the next speaker, and followed
along similar lines to Mr.. Lewis.
He was we'll received by the assem-
blage.
1t was fully 1O:3O before the
candidate began speaking, but it
was evident that every one pres
ent was eager. to hear Mr.. Wilkin-
son, as they. had heard Lieut.
Gov. j. Y. Sanders a few weeks
ago. An outburst Of applause
greeted him when he appeared on
the rostrum, and the most careful
attention followed him through
out his speech. Whether Or not
his coming to Opelousas has made
any material change in the vote,
Col. Wilkinson was certainly well
received.
Having heard two of the candi-
dates for governor speak, it is u
noteworthy fact that the people
are anxious to have Gen. Leon
Jastremski make an address here
in the interest of his candidacy. |
Thus far the campaign has been
in IL most gentlemanly |
manner, and it is 10 be hoped |
that it will so continue until the /
primary.

Judge is a most entertaining
speaker, and his-visit to st. Lam
