What Happened to Girl in New York

What happened to seventeen-year-
old Lucy Green last winter when she
arrived in New York seeking work,
without friends or money, is the real
story of real girl, told by the girl
herself in October Woman's Home
Companion.
The first day she was directed to
the Margaret Louisa Home, conduct
ed by the Young Women's Christian
Association. After many waits and
delays she was passed on to the chap
lain of the institution. This is what
took place with the chaplain:
AS gently as POSSIBLE she broke
the news that the Margaret Louisa
Home was not the boarding place for
which l was seeking. The rates we're
too high for any one save a girl who
was already well fixed in business.
A single room would cost me sixty
cents day, breakfast and luncheon
twenty-five cents each and dinner
thirty-five cents. l was probably
looking for a working-girls home.
/ apologized for my mistake. saving

garet Louisa Home and supposed it
was home for working girls. And

plained that 1t was transient hotel

for self-supporting women, not for
er-working girls. l saw the dis
tinction.
She then gave me the addresses
of real homes for working girls
Mrs. Huntingtons at 14O East 10th
street, and The Cooperate, 444
West 23d street.
Can you suggest where l had
best look for work? l inquired has
tily.
Work? Well, this is a very bad
time of the year to get into the
stores. They are letting girls out.
Governesses, too, have all been en-
gaged!'
''By this time she was standing up.
She hoped I would enroll with the
association. 1t cost only one dollar
a year, and I would enjoy the libra
ry. The Tuesday night lecture for
members was especially interesting.
She said good-by, without Offering
to shake hands-and my relations
with Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation were closed.
Apparently the New York branch
of the Y. w. C. A. is for women who
have proven their ability to be self
supporting. 1t offers nothing to the
girls starting on the road to self
support. The Margaret Louisa Home
is not a home 1t is an admirably
conducted, reasonably priced tran
sient hotel for women who do not
care to patronize hotels where rmen

Mr.. Carter says Mr.. Brown was
chosen In the primary by means of
frauds. Why didn't he find that out
before he was nominated by the In
dependence party, and why doesn't he
undertake to show there were
frauds of a grave character? Is it
because he cannot? That will be
the impression unless he backs up
his statement in a convincing way.
A simple charge counts for nothing,
especially when it is denied
The other charge, namely. that
Mr.. Brown isn't democrat, that Mr..
Carter makes against Mr. Brown
isn't worth noticing. A man who
has voted the straight democratic
ticket since he was twenty-one wears
of age, and who is going to vote it
again this year is good enough dem

democratic party for any office Mr..
Carter hadn't considered the reasons

LITTLE JOE MAKES SHORT WORK
OF CANDIDATE YANCY CARTER.
Points Out the Bad Faith of the In
dependence Candidate in Not
Keeping Primary Pledge.


Mr.. w. Yancey Carter, the candi-
date of the Independence party for
governor, had forgotten evidently
Joseph M. Browns ability to handle
a pen when he challenged him to
joint debate on state issues. In
short statement given out at Val
dosta Mr.. Brown states three rea-
sons why he wouldn't notice the chal-
lenge, any one of which is so con-
elusive that Mr.. Carter will hardly
renew it.
Mr.. Brown points out that, accord
ing to his own admission, Mr. Car
ter entered the gubernatOrial prima-
ry, and because his candidate was
defeated he proposes to bolt and run
for the governorship himself Very
quietly, but none the less emphati-
cally, Mr. Brown says that he
wouldn't show proper respect for his
party if he were to recognize a bolter
as legitimate candidate against it's
nominee.
1t wasn't necessary for Mr.. Brown
to say anything more. That was
enough to settle Mr.. Carter The

CREMATION is UNPOPULAR
THIS METHOD OF DISPOSING OF
DEAD is NOT IN FAVOR.
Thirty-SiX CrematoPies in the United
States, and Last Year 1000
Bodies Were Consumed.

Bodies Were Consumed.
The French International Crema-
ton Society of Paris is much dis
couraged because the people all over
the world will not become more rec
onciled to the burning instead Of the
burying of their dead. The society
was organized for the purpose OF
making cremation popular, but it can
not bring the average man and wo-
man to see that it is better to be
incinerated than placed in the
ground. Almost every person who is
cremated goes that way because OF
an expressed desire before death to
be disposed of in a crematory after
the visit of the grim monster. Those
left behind seldom dispose of their
dead in this way, voluntarily.
The society is doing it's utmost to
induce the French people to burn
rather than to bury their dead. OW-
ing to its efforts the number of in
Generations is growing from year to
year, but the increase is hardly per-
ceptible.
Most of the cremations in France
occur in Paris, as the country people
do not take to this method of dispos-
ing of the dead. America has the
largest annual number of cremations'
There are thirty-six crematories H.
the United States, in. which last year
nearly four thousand bodies were
consumed.

tons in this country, it is claimed

The prairie dog is a great him
drance to agriculture. If he chooses
spot that appears suitable for a
pleasant home he gathers his kith
and kin, and in a comparatively short
time his tribe has multiplied at COM
pound rates until solid acres are not
commOdiOus enough for the family.
They make the soil almost useless.
Their holes are connected by minia-
ture tunnels, so that while the
ground may appear solid it is in
reality unsafe and dangerous to man
and beast. The death of many rid
ers on the plains is a silent testimO-
NAL to the iniquity of the prairie
dog.
How the Poison Worked.
The stOckmen of the west urged
the department. of agriculture to take
some measures to check the increas-
ing annOyances from the dogs, and
the relentless warfare followed.
Range improvement in national for
ests is one of the chief objects of
grazing regulation, and the forest
service was charged with the work
of determination. The first expert
ments were made in parts of Lead
vile and Pike national forests, where
the praria dogs populated territory
of 800 square miles. A dog town
of IS acres was selected, and poison
was prepared by coating wheat with
strichnine solution made alluring by
molasses and anise seed, a combina-
ton which no prairie dog can resist
This poisoned wheat was placed at
the mouth of each hole, and the men
soon became so expert at their work
that they could ride along on a horse
and drop the death dealer with great
rapidity. The dogs ravenously ate
the poisoned grain, and in less than
an hour 80 per cent. of them died
The crafty ones which escaped the
first feast. or those who were not
hungry at that time, were killed on
the second trip of the foresters. and
in short time every dog was dead
Next spring the forest service prom
ises to go into the killing business
on a larger scale.

| In last issue of the paper Clear Branch
correspondent reported dry and dusty
weather, but since that time we have had
pleanty of rain and the roads are muddy.
( The picnic on the 4th was success
| about 500 people being in attendance. At
1890 o'clock the union people had a
march, music being furnished by the
| Harrisville band. AtII o'clock the state
lecturer of the farmers union, H. w.
Bradshaw, addressed the people, which
was very interesting, after which re-
freshments were served. At ago p. m.
| the people again gathered in the house to
hear the address of Prof. J. |. Covington
which was very fine. At about a o'clock
the union people were invited into the
] hall to hear talk from Bradshaw on the
warehouse question. At the conclusion
of his talk a stock subscription was taken
up amounting to about $500. Before the
meeting closed it was announced that the
warehouse stockholders would meet at
Florence on July Is. All union men who
expect to take stock are invited to meet
with US; the business will be important.
While union business was going on in
| the hall, the balance of the people were
entertained by the Harrisville band.

Branch that was recently dismissed, was
taken up again and Miss Mamie Dear
