Monday January 10TH, 1910. at
1915 in the morning, Widow Hen
ry Blue, nee Sophie Bienvenu, at
the ripe old age of S3 years and 6
months.
She was buried at nine o'clock
Tuesday morning and her remains
we're followed to the grave by a
large number of relatives and
friends.
Mrs. Blue was a devout catholic
aud nothing pleased her more than
to attend to her religious duties
at the church, but having been an
invalid nearly all her life, aud du-
ring the past ten years had lost
her sight, afflicted with blindness
and her feeble condition compell-
cd her to spend her declining years
ct her home in all almost helpless
condition.
She had reached the old age of
SO years aud six months, which is
an age that few attain. and she is
now gone to her reward where
peace is everlasting.

TO PREVENT DIVORCE.

" i NV HAN1 Ii V ONSAs
The teaching of domestic science
to girls in the public schools is re-
commended by State Superinten.
dent IF Education E. ID. Cameron
of Oklahoma 40 the best antidots
to the divorce evil. Furthermore,
he states smphatically, as one
speaking by authority, that such
couree in all public schools would
not only superinduce . desire for
matrimony in the young feminine
heart, even more than tho present
ever-existent yearning in that d.
rection, but would make the girls
want to stay married. Hear the
learned demonstration OF the fe-
male heart: 1.-THE teaching OF
domestic science 10 all our schools
would have q tendency to arrest
the wild wave of restlessness that
has como over the women of our
country, aud will bring them back
and fix them more firmly IN the
sphere where God intended them
to dwell. Woman il the natural
homeksepsr. God intended wo-
man to be a wife and mother, the
queen Of home" We have been
firmly convinced in spite of the
wild wave of Hasksllism and other
misrepresentatio with which Ok
lahoma has been engulfed that
there was much wisdom and truth
in the confines of tho Unions
maiden State, and Mr.. Csmsron's
sentiments strike tender spot in
tho heart. Teach tho girls how to
cook aud they will be happy in
the matrimonial state; or, anyway,
whether they will or not, their
husbands will be sure to find it a
state of felicity. The way to a
mans heart is through his stom-
ach, is a truism as old as the hills.
The ONLY drawback TO tho allur.
ing prospect is-you may teach a
girl to cook, but can you make her
like it as a steady job? There's
the rub, and it is like to prove u
harder one than an unsophistica-
ted educator would thiuk. Sup
pose, on tho other hand, that some
female teacher of the young idea
should propose that the evils of
rum should be taught in oil our
schools, and that the boys 10 taught
to spend their evenings, IN after
years, at homo with their wives.
Statistics show that drink is re-
sponsible for about 80 per cont Of
all the crime aud wretchedness in
the world. 1t would he quite 40
easy to make the men forswear
strong drink as to mako the wo-
men stay at home-that 10, those
who have acquired the ways and
means of independence. The du-
ties of mstrimony are not all on
one side. The man must do bis
part a. we'll as the woman. We
sadly fear superintendent Gamer
on will have to pick his flint aud
try again, even though be speaks
the truth a. far as be goes. -Kau-
