Remember when VISITING.

The girl who goes to other peoples
houses as guest, either for fort
night or a weekend, should be care
full about remembering certain things.
She does not want her hostess to
hope, at her departure, that she will
never come again.
If you are the guest, observe these
rules:
Be punctual at meals.
Don't make engagements until you
consult your hostess.
Don't write to friends and ask
them to call until you are sure that
such visitors will be welcomed by
your hostess.
Don't have your breakfast in your
room unless the hostess urges it.
Do not fail to provide your own
writing paper, stamps and pen.
Attend to your own laundry and be
prompt about paying for it.
Don't follow your hostess in all her
tasks. Let her have some time to
herself.
Don't play the piano while the chill
dren are taking a nap.
Don't stay beyond the day set for
your departure unless something I'M
usual happens.
Take a half hour every morning
for putting away your clothes and
Strengthening your room. Don't leave
everything to the housemaid.

Boys Kill Monster Snake.

AS Eddie L. Bates, of Youngstown,
twelve years old, was picking berries
on the mountain blacksnake swung
from a low tree and twined about
the boys body. The boy fought in
terror, but fell to the ground, and one
of the folds of the snake slipped
around his throat. The three mates
of the boy fed when the snake at
tackled him, but returned, and Eddie
Greedy, with fence stake, attacked
the snake. The first blow missed the
snake, and, landing on the Bates
boys head, almost finished him, but
Greedy persevered, and with his two
companions finally beat off the black
snake, which then attacked the other
boys.
Bates, who had been more scared
than hurt, filled his lungs with air a
few times, then grabbing a club, as.
sisted his companions in their battle.
The snake was finally killed, and
when the lads dragged it triumphant.
ly into Youngstown it was measured
and found to be nine feet ten inches
long. Many parties of berry pickers
have been attacked in the foothiIls
here by snakes. (Pa.) Cor

Cure for seasickness.

To pick up your home paper in a
strange city produces a feeling akin to
seeing your nations flag floating in
a foreign country. That we knew,
but we did not know that sight of the
home paper would cure seasickness
until last week. A lady on board the
steamer State of California, on her
trip from San Francisco to Portland,
was shown capy of the Pilot Records,
and the effect was marvellous. The
lady was on her way to Pilot Rock to
pay visit to her parents, but had
been confined to her berth almost from
the hour Of leaving San Francisco.
At sight of her home paper she came
on deck and enjoyed the remainder
Of the trip immensely-Pilot Rock

IneauaIities Disguised.

81 WONDER" said the philosophic
woman to her companion, as they
were bowed out of the luxurious wo-
mans Quitting establishment by an
obsequious attendant; II wonder Just
how the girls in there who are show
ing off these beautiful gowns are af-
fected by the experience? They are
poor or they wouldn't be working
there. They can't own lovely gowns;
yet they wouldn't be women If they
didn't long for them. It must be
tantaliSing to be handling them, dis
playing them sometimes on their own
figures, seeing other women buying
them"
"Other and frequently homelier
women" added her companion, who
was candid person.
''The girl who just showed us those
gowns is better fitted to adorn them,
or be adorned by them, than either
of us-better fitted physically, at
least. She is handsome; we are not.
She wouldn't be human If she didn't
say to herself: Why is 1t these wo-
men can wear these beautiful things,
and I can't, when they've done moth
ing except to belong to men folk who
know how to get lot of money!? She
may not formulate that thought, but
there must be something like it on
her mind"
"And what follows?"
"She may turn dishonest, she may
turn bad, she may be religious, or
high minded and not care. But, oh,
the inequality of things!"

LADIES COLUMN.
The Needs Of the Young.

JOY spread among the young pss,-
pie attending Christ Presbyterian
Church, in Chicago, when they
learned that the church is to have a
new adjunct of surprising novelty
a counting room" The counting
room" is to be complete with cozy
corners, screens, chaperons and dim
lights. Everything to encourage and
making of acQuaintanceships be-
tween young men and women will be
supplied in the new 'icourting room. ."
The room will be built, says the
pastor, the Rev. ]. e. Snyder, just as
soon as property adjoining the pres
ent edifice can be bought. The new
structure win be an institutional an
mex, with gymnasium and library
and other features, the counting
room dominating in interest,
I'VE ought to have a counting
room, for this is a church for young
people" said the pastor. 1T is right
that we should make every provision
for their needs as they grow up. They
should not have to go beyond the
church for any essential, and a place
to court is an essential. 1t will sup
plant the beer garden and other rep-
rehensible meeting places"

Roosevelt luck" which has be-
come a current American phrase, is
being paralleled in France. With a
narrow majority of $50 against 107
votes in the Senate, Premier Clemen-
ceau decided to transfer the body of
Emile lola to the Pantheon. This did
not wholly please the French people,
on the ground that such nact was
deemed premature; it was generally
felt that at least ten years should
elapse between the death of lola and
the Pantheon ceremony. The shot
