THE THREE SIDED PEDESTAL.

Here, let us suppose, is three sided
pedestal or box painted upon one side
red, upon another side white and upon
another side blue
One person from his angle Of vision.
looking at the pedestal and seeing but
the one side, says:
'AThe pedestal is painted red"
Another person, viewing the pedestal
from a different point Of view and see
ing but one side. says:
No; the pedestal is painted white. y,
A third individual, looking at the
pedestal from still another quarter of
the compass, disagrees and says:
s'You are both mistaken. The ped
esta1 is painted blue"
The three persons begin a discussion,
each trying to convince the others
they are wrong, whereupon fourth
person walks entirely around the ped
estal and, viewing it from all three
points Of view, stops the debate by
saying:
'You are all right, gentlemen, and
'SThe pedestal is painted RED and
WHITE and BLUE"
Which illustrates the truth that
much depends upon the point of view.
Everything, all systems Of truth, every
human life, whatever you can see and
judge and critieise-everything has its
many sides and phases.
And in your judgment of anything
whatsoever be sure you see it from
every possible point of view. Be
cause
He who sees things from but sin
gle angle OF vision is apt to be narrow
provincial, prejudiced. He lacks the
sweep Of the broader vision, the hori-
zon of the wider view.
Most debates occur because each de
batter sees only his side of the discus
sion and refuses to look upon the other
side.
Most criticisms concerning the lives
of men and women are made because
only a single phase Of character i
seen, whereas a fuller knowledge OF
the life would reveal hitherto unseeI
excellencies
Is it not so?
And If SO ought not the conscious
ness of it make all of us humble rath
er than prideful, charitable rather thar
critical?
The most ignorant man in the Worl6
is the man who thinks he knows il
all, and because Of his ignorance he is
boastful of himself.
Let us remember
The pedestal has more than one side
Before we are confident let us walk
entirely around it.

COUNTRY Girl. I'm TIE CITY.

To stay at home is best
You may quote the homely old adage
In vain to the girl whose ambitious
! dreams lure her away from the coun-
try place or the village to the city.
And often the girl who stays at
home envies the girl who goes away.
Distance lends enchantment to the
view. The dream Of city life Is like
q glittering pageant in the shifting
Kaleidoscope Of the girls aspirations.
She sees only the bright lights.
More and more the city swallows up
the pure womanhood and manhood of
the country. Already more than half
of the people of the United States live
In cities, and the proportion grows
larger yearly.
This is how it is:
The girl of town or country grows
tired Of teaching district school or
cIerking in the village store or staying
on the farm. She goes to the city to
realize Lar dream of life.
At the first she is delighted -enam-
ored Of the glare and glitter. Here,
she thinks, is the substance Of things
hoped for, the evidence OF things seen
I'm her visions.
Then comes disillusiOn.
The awful loneliness of the crowd
comes upon her The sordid surround
ings of her cheap boarding house, the
comparison Of her frumpy dresses
with the tailored suits of well dressed
women these things lead to heart
aches and wretchedness She is a
stranger in a strange land.
Poor lassiei
If she is made of strong moral fiber
she viii come through it all and save
her Womanhood and self respect, but
she will also grow a little callous OF
heart and mind In opposing her self
lshness to the sordid selfshness of her
world some of the bloom Of innocency
is likely to disappear.
If there is a weakness somewhere
In her moral armor her very virtues
of innocence and trustfulness may
dead to her undoing
To stay ait home is best.
To be sure. it is quiet down on the
farm or in the village, but the monot-
sony Is as nothing to the aching lone
illness that comes in the midst OF
strange crowds. And there are full
ness Of happy comradeship and a
friendliness Of contact among the
home folks that are never to be found
elsewhere.
Besides, should the country girl be
able to win her way in the city and
save her soul. what has she gained
over the home life?
Experience: that is all.
and that experience may have been
bitter in the getting She has seen a
larger but not better world She
has had few more clothes. few
nore thrills Ct excitement. Even at

THE BEST WIVES.

The working girl makes the best
wife.
So says President Mary E. Woolley,
head of Mount Holyoke college. one of
the leading colleges for girls.
Which is an unusual admission from
such IL source.
But true!
Statistics show that less than so per
cent Of women college graduates mar
ry; also that those who do marry sell
dom or never have large families.
1t stands to reason the working girl
or the business girl should. as rule,
make a better wife than the highly
educated girl or the girl reared in lux
ury or idleness-
When the working girl gets her
home she appreciates it to the full.
She has been accustomed to work for
a stated number of hours six days in
every week, subject to the orders of
her employer. In her home she is her
own mistress. She takes orders from
no one; also she is able to arrange for
hours of leisure and relaxation.
She feels that her lot is improved.
The college girl or the girl who has
been reared without work, on the 9th
err hand, feels that the labor of house
keeping is a burden. 1t is distasteful
to her She complains. She prefers
family hotel or a boarding house
And that way lies the divorce court or,
at the best, domestic difficulties.
The business girl makes good wife.
She is accustomed to earn her living
She knows how many cents are in a
dollar. She knows how to reduce the
business of housekeeping to a system.
Things run smoothly in her home, and
she is a treasure to the husband who
gets her.
Also, be it said the farmers daugh-
ter usually makes an ideal wife. She
has good health and good spirits and
has been trained to housekeeping from
her youth up.
Wives who are brought up to work
are seldom found in the divorce court.
This class of wives do not make the
| mistake OF living beyond their nus
bands means-a fruitful source of do
nestle trouble.
It is the girl who has been brought
up to play the piano, while mother does
the washing, or the girl who goes away
to school, with no sympathy for the
sacrifice of her parents. who has little
conception of household economies or
the ability or taste for housekeeping.
Now, this is no screed against higher
education.
There is call and a career for tho
cultured. public spirited woman out
side of matrimony.
But
1t is nevertheless true that the real
mothers of the race must come from
the ranks of the working girls.

FROM SCRUBBER TO PRIMA DONNA.
An expression by Springfield
6(Mass.) man serves to show how f1exi-
BILE is our American society.
This man refuses to pay $3.50 to
hear Nine. Olive Fremstad sing be-
cause, he says, the singer scrubbed the
floors of his kitchen few years ago.
This is the story:
81 lived in Minneapolis from 1884 to
1889 and came to Springfield in 1889.
In 1886 in Minneapolis we had our
piano tuned by man named Frem-
sstad, who said he had daughter whom
he wished brought up in the American
way and wanted us to take her in and
teach her how to be a domestic.
"Well, we did this and paid the girl
$3.50 a week. Her name was Anna
Olive Fremstad, who, / now see, is to
sing in our city. In the earlier days |
could hear her sing without paying a
cent 1t costs me $3.50 now. / won't
pay it,
iForsoothi
Because few years ago Anna Olive
Fremstad worked in his kitchen at
$3.50 per and warbled freely and with
out price this man asks the old. old.
pharasaic question:
/. "Can any good come out of Naza-
reth?''
A prophet is not without honor save
In his own country, and a prima donna
is not without recognition save to the
man whose floors she once scrubbed.
But this is not good doctrine in the
republic (which spells Opportunity"
The Springfield man is not good
American. Does he think our society
is, like the laws of the Modes and Per-
slams, Interchangeable? On the contrary,
1t is very mutable.
Garfield put it well when he said in
effect that our society is not like the
society of Europe, which resembles the
strata of the earth, each layer above
holding the one beneath it down, but
that our society is rather like the
waves of the sea, where the lowest
drop may rise and glisten on the top
most wave.
When she scrubbed the kitchen
floors Anna Olive Fremstad was one
of the lowest drops in the bed of SO
'ciety's big ocean. But she rose! And
now she glistens on the topmost wave
as Nine, Fremstad, whom to hear one
must pay $3.50.
That is the true American way.
You cant hold the drop down.
The boy who sells you newspaper
on the street today may be your sons
employer twenty years from now.
The girl who scrubs your kitchen may
rise so high in society that some day
your daughter will be glad to get an
invitation to her receptions.
That Springfield man is a pleheian
and a standpatter and-a clam.

TO say
We Americans are the happiest peo>
pie on earth because we are the most
prosperous, the freest and the best
educated.
Or, to put it differently.
Most of the unhappiness suffered by
the American people is because Of lack
of prosperity. lack of freedom. lack of
education.
Truly we are prosperous. To put it
in sentence
We have but per cent of the ter
ritory of the earth and but per cent
of it's population, but we have twice
as much life insurance as all the rest
of the worlds people and half as much
money in our savings banks as all the
other people on earth put together.
And we are well educated.
We have enrolled in our public
schools 100000 students, and there
are 100000 in the colleges and private
schools, which brings the total up to
20,O00,000 young people. We spend on
this education $2O0OO0,O00 yearly
more than the entire sum spent by five
leading European nations, including
England
We are a free people.
Making due allowance for inequali-
ties and for abuses under our system
we enjoy the largest measure of in
dividual liberty ever known by any
people in the history of the race.
And
Because of our prosperity, freedom
and education we also enjoy in the
highest degree all intellectual and spir-
itual pleasures, and we are the most
progressive as we are the most humane
of all people, so that, whether upon the
physical, intellectual or moral plane
The conditions of living in America
make for happiness more so than any
where else
We are free to work and free to love.
And those two conditions-the free
dom to work at congenia1 tasks for a
fair compensation and the liberty to
love and marry Whomsoever we
choose regardless of social or financial
obligations-these are ideal conditions.
Given such conditions, happiness is
simply an individual problem.
Free to do, free to be!
Why should we be miserable?
It is sufficient to say If we are IN
happy it is largely our. fault. It is not
the fault of our conditions.

what is of particular interest to wo-
men-it causes loss Of facial beauty.
Think of it!
Some Of these hats are as much as
sixty or seventy inches IN circumfer-
ence and with the heavy trimmings and
ornaments weigh as much as seven or
eight pounds to which must be added
great punches Of rats" and rolls of
wire and hair that weigh two or three
pounds.
Now!
