EY DEAR GIRL-Not lon gago I NH made a visit to a certain state l VI reformatory. While there I met B young woman whom I had known as 3 young girl.
 She said to me:
 "If I had only believed my parents and taken their advice I would not be here. I was, led to believe by the young men with whom I associated that my parents were old fogies and undue sticklers for propriety. If I had only trusted my parentsw
 Because of what that young woman said to me and because of my obser- . yation of many years I want to say

 Suppose a young man says to you: ''Let's go to the show. But say noth- ing about 1t to your parents. Tell them we are going to the neighbors. We can go to the neighbors all right and then go to the theatre"
 Tell him "No!'
 And afterward have as little to do with him as possible.
 The young man who tries to get you to deceive the parents who have loved and cared for you since you were a baby is not the sort of man you can afford to trust.
 If he cares anything for you at all he will respect your parents and will Aever think of suggesting a deception.
 Remember this
 Your father and mother have lived donger in the world than you have, and they know its ways better than you do.
 When they say to you. Do not do so and so, depend upon 1t they have good reason.
 Nobody loves you as they love you. Nobody wants you to be happy and have a good time more than they. Do not ever get 1t into your head that they are cruel or tyrannical.

The Romance of Barbed Wire

Mrs. Joe Glidden threatened to do something outlandish if Joe did not keep the pigs out of her cabbages and onions.
 That was back in the eos.
 So one day Glidden drove to the ham, let of DeKalb, H.. three miles distant, with an idea in his head. His horse had cast a shoe. In the shoe stuck a. nail. Why not stick sharp nails through wire and thus keep the pigs out of Mrs. Gldden's garden? Joe wanted to talk about it with Isaac Ellwood, the hard ware dealer.
 Ellwood listened and then said, of I get the patent, Joe, will you give 4ne a half interest?"
 That evening Isaac Ellwood explained the idea to his wife. who said: But the nall slips. Take two wires and twist them around the nail.'
 Moreover. the bright woman suggested the use of a coffee mill to twist the wires.
 So that next day MT. and Mrs. Ellwood took big coil of wire and a new coffee mill from the store and went out to Joe Gliddens place.
 Glidden fed the wire into the coffee mill. Ellwood turned the crank. and Mrs.

A Mothers Union

There is room for new labor union. It might be named the Amalgamated Mothers and Housekeepers' Solidarity of the World
 It would comprise in its membership the largest number of skilled wage earners (without salary in existence-the women who keep house and rear chil- dren.
 The hours of labor would be restricted to A in one day.
 And the salary.
 The free and unlimited coinage of ap- preciation and affection. If the organization could be effected long enough to sustain one strike there would never be another. The stopping of the entire domestic machinery of the world for even one day would be sufficient. Grievances thereafter would be promptly considered and concessions readily granted.
 As it is now
 Mother is up first, starts breakfast, calls father, dresses the children, washes the dishes, cleans, scrubs. dusts, gets dinner, sews, gets supper. darns, un- dresses the children. sews- A thousand and one things during the day, to say nothing of the hours of the night given over to sick children or fret lcQ DdDtS.
 Eight hours?
 There would be chaos in the domestic world if the mothers demanded even twice eight hours in a day
 And in all this, mind you
 Day after day, night after night, with the pull on her slender strength, the rasp on her frayed nerves. the drag on her vitality, the drain on her spirits, the working mother keeps sweet! In the midst of countless Interruptions and petty annoyances, despite the hard, unending, complex duties that would kill a man.
 She is gentle and patient, Can you blame her-this silent, faithful drudge-if she wants her pay? Not an envelope on Saturday night No, not; not that. What then? The love and gratitude of those for whom she tolls and suffers and sacri- fees.
 When you think of the loveless homes where she is not only denied Der pay, but is abused besides. it makes you want to organize the union.

The overcoming power of mind is 8 workable power. . Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the
 poetess, literally kept her frail body alive
 by mental affirmation. Robert Louis Stevenson would not give
 up his work even when sickness put him
 on his back. Much of his best work was done in bed Most men would have given up and died. Theodore Roosevelt. the robust, was
 puny boy of New York. His vii power took him to the plains to build
 up a physique. What lonesome world this had beer if only those 'had worked who 'felt like it.' | Of course the power of mind has its | limitations, and the practice of sugges. ton may be carried to ridiculous ex- l tremes. But | Bear this in mind | You are captain on the deck of youl

He said:
 I'm tired of the everlasting grind but I can't quit; too many stomachs to feed. I can't save much because of my family expenses. I want a rest but I can't afford it. I tell you, I am tired of life. What's the user"
 Do you feel that way?
 Well, you haven't given up the fight have you? That's something.
 And you are battling away the best you are able, are you not? Caesar did no more, nor Charlemagne, nor U. g. Grant A man can do no more than his best.

 You are a special providence for and clothes. Isn't that big job? And the Lord puts you in his place to do that
 Whats the use?
 Why your work, whatever 1t maybe If it is honest work and well done is as important as any mans work. As one of the worlds workers you are doing your share.
 Therefore keep on.
 Perhaps you answer: But my work is not appreciated. l am just an in- dustrial slave. I cannot do more than is expected of me, sometimes not so much When I do the expected I get no thanks. When I do less I am blam- ed, and when I do more 1t is taken for granted. It is hard to work with out appreciation.'
 So it is, but Why do you say your work is not appreciated? It must be, else why do you continue to draw your salary7 Don't get that false notion in your head. It is fatal to success.
 But my folks v I think understand. The children take what you give them and you get no thanks? But wait.
 How many times did you ever give thanks to your father and mother while they were doing things for you7 You afe simply treading their path over. It is the way of the world.
 Whats the use.
 Everything. You are doing mans work in a mans way You are a worker and not shirker. Is not that everlastingly worth while? Hold up your chin and stiffen your back bone. You are doing as much in your sphere as the President of the United States In his sphere. You are not a clam. You are a man.

 Which was the beginning of a billion dollar business-the American Steel and Wire company.
 The first machine an improvement over the coffee mill. was set up in the rear of Ellwood's store. Afterward cap italists bought out Glidden's share, and the big company was organized
 And the story reads right along just as beautifully as before.
 Glidden got lot of money and stayed in Dekalb. Ellwood became a multi millionaire and stayed in Dekalb. And nobody who really needed money ever appealed to MT. and Mrs. Ellwood in vain.
 Then the other day Mrs. Ellwood died. And somehow Isaac Ellwood did not care to live any longer. He called his children about him, di- vided his fortune. willed large sums 10 charity, and few weeks after his wife passed away he died. Which is the end.
 And this postscript In a day when men are accused of robbing widows and orphans and stealing according to law the story of Isaac and Mrs. Ellwood Is one worth while.
