The price of society is something
not to be estimated. Some folks are
born into it, some acquire it, and some
desire it and never succeed in it's ac-
QUESTION. To those in society only is
it's folly apparent, still those in it's pur-
suit pay high in cash or in virtue and
probably both, and then what have
they? What is society? A dream; a
life of emptiness-nothing more
For all ailments there is cause,
hence for society the cause must be
desire for enjoyment or happiness.
Like in sickness no remedy is appli-
cable to all cases of a similar nature.
But instead of frequenting resorts of
popular gossip, join the Ladies Aid
instead of killing your time designing
decollette apparel get acquainted with
the charities,-aid in making the lives
of parents easier and pleasanter; aid
some less prosperous neighbor In
this busy, bustling world there is too
much of usefulness to apply ourselves
to while our time away with the emp
tiness of society.

CUT THE STIPEND.

1t is announced that the United He
brew Charities has been compelled
owing to shortage of funds, to cur
tail it's aid to the poor. Hereafter
those of the needy who are on the lists
of the society and have been receiv-
ing regular monthly stipends will re-
ceive 10 per cent. less than hereto
fore. This reduction will be hard
blow to many widows and orphans
and other persons in distress, says
New York City exchange.
Manager M. D. Waldman explains
that the demands upon the Charities
nave been so heavy since the recent
business depression that for the SIX
months from Oct. 1 to April / the
society had to distribute $15O,OOO. AS
against this only $4,000 was required
for the six months from October to
April in 1907.
In order to meet the increased de-
mands of the past winter, an addi-
tional 100000 was needed, and of this
only about $4,000 has been obtained.
The shortage, which ensued put
great strain upon the directors of cha
rites. After making every effort to
meet the needs of the time they were
forced to reduce for the present the
stipends allowed the distressed.

road is completed to that district, this
enormous tonnage will be withdrawn
from the railroad built by the as
