where do you suppose she lives? Five
hundred miles beyond the Arctic cir
Gle. gIti is unnecessary for the Alas
kan to tell it's readers who Nellie
eastman is, for there are very few
people who have resided in Alaska
any length of time who do not know
her. She came to Alaska in 1874
She was with the first ones who went
int~ the Cassair country, and many a
miner will tell you that If it had not
been for Nellie eastman they would
have died in that country from scurvy
and other sicknesses. Nellie on that
expedition was the nurse, and scores
of men who fell sick with the scurvy
received medicine from her free of all
cost if they were broke. She was
through the Dawson country in "the
days of 97' and has been seen about
every camp in Alaska. Four years
ago she struck for the wtlds of the

But it is neither the one or the 9TH
er. There have been and still are re-
markable notions afoat concerning
nature and duty. Filial and parental
relations, discussed as they always
are by the parental part of the. COM
munity, have different bearing from
what they would if looked at from
the children's point Of view. In our
eagerness to enforce the claims which
parents have upon children, we have
seemed sometimes to forget the
equally strong claims which children
have upon parents.
Surely, when the daughter has
become woman, she has right to
direct her life in the manner best
adapted to bring out its abilities. No
human being has right to appropri-
ate another human beings life-even
if they be mother and daughter. You
say that she owes life itself to her
parents. True, but in such a way that
it confers an additional obligation
upon them to give her every opportu-

in such way as to justify them in
monopolizing it, nor in such way.
as to render her accountable to them
alone for it's use. The person who
gives life is under much stronger
bonds than the person who receives
life. AS Daniel Webster said long
ago, the Creator has SO constituted
the human intellect that it can only
grow by its own action; and by its
own action and free will it will cer-
tainly and necessarily grow.
II aFilial unfaithfulness is a sin, but
parental unfaithfulness is a chief of
sins. The first violates relationships
which it finds. The second violates
those which it makes. Almost invari-
ably the unfaithfulness of the parent
is the direct cause of unfaithfulness
in the child. There may be extraor-
binary exceptiops; but, as a rule,
parental love and wise foTethought

YOUNG GIRL CHAMPION ORATOR

YOUNG GIRL CHAMPION ORATOR.
Sara Chayes, sixteen years old, has
won the oratorical championship of
Cook. County, ILL.,, which includes
Chicago. She is the first girl to carry
on this. honor and she is credited
with remarkable powers as a plat
form speaker. The competition in
cluded all the high schools in the
county Elimination trials were held,
and the final contest was among four
boys and little Miss Chayes. She
was the first girl ever to win her way
into the finals. The championship
was awarded to her by unanimous
vote Of the six judges. She excelled
in every point, being unusually eff
fectiye in voice and gesture and easily
presenting the strongest and most
convincing argument on the subject,
~Wanted-A Civic Conscience. This
is not the girls first achievement in
the oratorical line. Six weeks ago
she won third place in a contest for
the championship of Illinois. She will
be graduated next month, and has
planned to deliver a series Of speeches
in favor of equal suffrage. Her moth
er is an ardent suffragist, and the girl
is so hopeful Of the ballot being
granted to women that she expects
to vote when she becomes twenty-one
years old.--New York Press.

best of all-removing the possible
ity Of sacrifice by making all service
a pleasure
"If a daughter, out Of love or
sense of duty, chooses to sacrifice her
inclinations-the voice of her soul
calling her to work in life-I do
not say that she does not WELL, con-
cluded the speaker. Il only say that
her mother has no right to demand
such sacrifice. Before children are
old enough to choose for themselves
their parents must choose for them;
but every restraint that is put upon
a child for any other purpose than
his own benefit is a sin against a
soul. New York Tribune.

IGENTLENESS.

/ have a business friend who is as
modest and as gentle as woman,
says O. s. Marsden, in Success Maya
zine, who is never obtrusive or self
assertive, but who has most re-
markable way Of getting things well
done, and getting people to see things
his way. He does it without any
noise or pretence. He does it as the
tender germ of the daffodil lifts it's
head up through the hard turf, by
gentle persistency.
No one feels conscious that this
man is trying to influence him, or to
get him to do thing against his will,
but, somehow, most people about him
find themselves doing what he wants
them to do. He is so delicate in his
diplomacy, so gentle in his tact, and
so strong in his self-confidence that
others find themselves agreeing with
him without really knowing why.
He has a large number Of employees
under him, yet no one ever hears him
raise his voice in anger or assertive
authority. He is so gentle that stran-
gers often wonder how he manages to
have any discipline, and yet every
thing goes like clockwork in his es-
Establishment. His employees respect
him, like him, because he is always
kind, considerate, and never scolds,
frets or nags, but they know that
when he gives an order or makes a
suggestion it must be oheYed.
