pei that he gives freely"
A woman can be more joy to her
Icompanion than any thing else. He
may be burdened with cares, enemies
may gather in his path, world be dark
without, but when he comes in her
presence he forgets all of his troubles,
for she will divide his sorrows and try
and make everything pleasant. She
will suffer much sorrow for the sake of
her companion; he may do many vile
things in life yet she will be the same.
But let her do anything that is not
womanly, is he the same? No. Virgil
said: Woman is always various and
changeable. But this | think false.
! | think man is more variable than
woman. Is it not plain that woman's
love is purer than mans. Take
the friendship between woman and
man. Who proves the most tickle?
She will love him through evil and
good report, through poverty, shame,
sorrow and sin. But take the man.
Just let him one time hear of an evil
report, he is ready to turn his back on
her forever. How many men have
broken the poor hearts Of women,
women who give their whole hearts
to lover and then be forsaken. The
ambition of woman is shown in her in
fuence towards man. The woman in
all her relations is bound to honor and
obey those on whom she depends for
support and protection.
The greatest command that woman
has to obey is to be silent. In the
path of duty, no honor is too high or
too dear. The voice of pleasure or OF
power may pass by unnoticed, but not
the voice of affection.
Woman's charms are certainly many
and powerful. Loneliness of spirit is
woman's sceptre and sword, for it is
both the emblem and the instrument of
her conquests. Of course, l do not mean
by this, that loneliness of spirit alone is
the source of abiding influence, for if
your heart is lacking in high-minded
self-devotion, in self-control, in sim
CERTIFY your loneliness will disappear
before all who behold you in contact
with the relations of life. Some of the
greatest examples of heroism are the
deeds Of the ordinary woman. A wo-
man may be of great help to her coun-
try. Not very long ago a flood was
sweeping through certain section OF
the Western States and telephone
operator when awakened found herself
surrounded by water.
Bravely she stood by her post and
warned some twenty families down the
valley in the flood course. Nearly 100
| persons escaped TO Satety, Dut When tlle
water had subsidized, the telephone girl
was found with the instruments on her
ears. Surely history affords no
truer type of heroism. She was just a
plain ordinary woman. The influence
to the community may be very little
noticed now, but it will increase as
years pass by. The influence of a beg
gar girl is as potential in her sphere as
that of queen on her throne. And
so l say, All hail to the ordinary wo-
man" We can all be royal princesses;
we can't all be poets or musicians, or
scholars or sages; we may not be college
graduates, but we can all be gentle, kind,
patient, sympathetic, helpful, loving,
cheerful Ordinary Women.

The popular girl piano contest is open

The popular girl piano contest is open
ing up with some spirit. The history
of voting contests is that the greatest
amount of work is done just before the
finish, but the interest is spreading and
the probabilities are that it will become
one of the liveliest of all the contests
ever held in the county. The premi-
ums are very valuable and there is no
reason why someone should not win a
piano with reasonable effort.
