Girls and Girls
Ohio State Journal.

There is great difference in girls
as one sees them on the street. Some
are modest and gentle and go along
without attracting attention, except
what may be awakened by their
graceful carriage and pleasant faces.
They tell of good homes and thought
full mothers and gentle breeding.
They suggest likewise good books.
moral ideas and intelligent associ-
ates. But there are other kind of
girls who are careless of their con-
duct. They are just little loud.
laugh great deal and chatter noisi-
~. They are rather empty creatures,
who read only trashy things and
talk the same way and incline to get
reckless in their chatter about beaux.
IL is their folly that attracts atten-
ton along the street. Whenever thew
pass young man he turns and re-
CARDS them with curious grin.
Really, if they were sensible,
modest girls, they wouldn't like
this. They wouldn't want the Ioafers
along the street TO gawk at them and
wonder who they are and make shall
low remarks to the other fellow. They
would want to go along the street
leaving a sort of underlined sensation,
II any at all, that there goes a lady.
These differences the casual observer
can easily see, but really the gentle
and well bred are in the great
majority while the loud and i'll bred
are only exceptions S, but there are
enough of them TO excite disgust
among all true women and a wish
among all true men that these girls
and young women would SO conduct
themselves as TO reflect honor upon
their sex.

a number of Pocahontas people
were interested in and attended the
piano recital in Bramwell given by
Miss Elizabeth Stewards pupils. OF
the many entertainments of last
week none was more thoroughly en-
Joyed and appreciated by n discrimi-
Mating audience which filled to over
flowing the lecture room of the
Methodist church where the musical
took place. Among as many bright
pupils TO eXtol any one above others
might seem an invidious compar-
Ison, yet it is only just TO say that
the performances of Miss Jennie God
frey, Miss Alice Barbour and Miss
Vera Hylton awoke rapturous APP
piause from the audience and re-
marks of surprise and delight at the
ability these young girls displayed.
Every player showed talent and the
remarkably good training of the
teacher. AT the close of the recital
all the pupils took part in Jap
anese drill directed by +. w. Smith,
architect, of Bramwell, which was
revelation in its beauty and the
many fanciful evolutions, performed
so correctly and with such unani-
nous motion that il riVaIled n

pany of New York. After this, ice
cream and cake were served by the
ladies of the church and the evening
ended in most delightful social
affair, when congratulations were
showered upon Miss Stewart and
players, the recital having shown
conscientious labor and decidedly
great talent and ability in each and
every one.

That judicious petting never yet
made "calfy boys"
That when children are inclined to
be self-Willed and cannot easily be
persuaded to do a thing they are
commanded to do, a loving word viii
often insure prompt obedience.
That very often too little sympathy
is given the little ones IN their hurts
and disappointments, in our efforts
to teach them self-control.
That it is well to use a little tact
in encouraging good behavior and to
resort to whipping only in extreme
cases.
That it never pays to deceive a
child in order to make him mind. "
1t is surprising how quickly he will
discover the deceit and how soon he
will lose all confidence in the moth

1t was in lumber yard that Mr..

he being one of the fourteen who

useful citizens faced sign that said

Presently, however, feeling the

his friend wandered into the suburbs
and thence to rural regions. In the
course of their walk they encounter
ed many "No Trespassing" notices.
Taking it for granted that such
signs indicated short cuts to attrac-
tive places, they climbed many high
fences and explored several acres of
forbidden territory.
But on the homeward way Mr..
Wiggles was thoughtful. He had
an idea. And when Mr.. Shank per-
suaded him at length to break the
unnatural silence, Mr.. Wiggles said:
I'm going into business, and l
need help. l want you to paint me a
dozen signs, with the words No Ad-
mittance' in big letters.

1t is very important and in fact it is
absolutely necessary to health that we
give relief to the stomach promptly at
the first signs of trouble which are
belching of gas, nausea, sour stomach,
headache, irritability and nervousness.
These are warnings that the stomach
has been mstreated; it is doing too
much work and it is demanding help
from you. Take something once in a
while; ESPECIALLY after meals; some
thing like KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA
