And if a girl toll all day at employ
ment which is often uncongenial, and
as often dulling to her ardent spirits,
some reasonable outlet must be pro-
vided for her natural energies when
the days work is over; some respect
full account must be taken of her di-
vine necessity of being courtedl In
too many homes-not to mention such
sad places as boarding houses-there
is no proper provision for such pleas

clusively for the young girl when she

an occasional evenings comfort to
the pleasure of the girl or girls of the
house. But suppose we substitute the
word Safety" for pleasure? Yet
that is exactly what it is. Take
man, fond of his cigar, whose wife
unreasonably objects to smoke, and
depend upon it that man will sonner
or later go outside of his home and
find place where he can enjoy his
smoke. And is it so unnatural that a
young creature, impelled by the same
inn use, will seek that freedom in the
street or elsewhere which she is de-

1t may be inconvenient to let a
daughter have the sitting-room or the

WHY SHE COULD STAND 1T.

Senator Hoar while returning from
a trip abroad, few years before his
death, took passage on a steamer
bound for New York. While coming
across he became acquainted with an
Englishman possessing title and a
big pair of binoculars. On coming
up the bay, in sight of the metropolis,
Senator Hoar was pointing out the
objects of interest, as it was the En-
glishman's first trip to this country.

MILLIONS FROM
MARYLAND FARMS
Wheat Crop This Season
Is Unusually
Large

1t ds stated by persons we'll posted in
the grain business that the State Of
Maryland will produce more wheat this
season than Texas, Oklahoma and In
dian Territory combined. and, with the
present high price Of wheat, it is expect
ed that the Maryland farmer will reap
a rich harvest.
According to the Government crop re-
port of last year. Maryland produced
12,9O2,4ie bushels of wheat This sold, ac-
cording to the Government, at an average
price Of Il Cents bushel, and the farm
ers Of this State obtained total Of So
16O,7i5
This year, while the figures are not yet
compiled 1t Is known that the Maryland
crop Is In excellent condition, and more
wheat will be produced than last season
Wheat this year is bringing about q
cents bushel more than last season, the
price Of Southern wheat now being over
90 cents a bushel Thus the Maryland
farmer Will not only harvest a larger
crop, but will get bigger prices.
On the other hand, the crops Of Texas
Oklahoma and Indian Territory are short
this year. On July / the Government es-
timated thst.,tse State Of Texas would
produce only a half crop. Last year the
Texas crop amounted to over 14,O0O,OOl
bushels.
