IHe prODlem OF the woman
in business was spoken of,
from the viewpoint only of
her hours of employment. AS the
preachers say, we will discuss the
secondly of this "problem.'
Every woman has in her makeup
the longing for home of some sort;
it is to be supposed the sex inherits
this trait from Mother Eve, who prob
ably enjoyed life in cave which
Adams forethought provided for her.
In due time, it is also to be supposed
she gathered in this cave all the lit
tie comforts and necessities which
women have gathered ever since.
To come from a cave to "hall
bedroom" isn't such hard jolt to
the imagination of any who are in
timately acquainted with the hall
bedroom.
In boarding houses. there are as
many varieties as the celebrated
pickle-man puts up of pickles, but
these don't fill the want nor the needs
of one-third the women bread-win-
ners in any large city. Between the
two, the Furnished room" and the
average boarding house, there is a
wide gap which should be, and could
be, bridged by any earnest body of
thinking women who will realize the
need for home places for the moder-
ately paid working women.
Right here and now I take my
stand against sectarian boarding
houses, by any name whatever, be
they "Christian dormitories" or in
situations of the sort under any other
guise.
The working woman has just as
heavy a need to be supplied with a
clean, quiet, moderately priced home
as any male clerk, but you will look
long and arduously before you To-
cate one. "Women's hotels are
farce; they are bound round with
more rep tape than an English will,
and the rules pasted up on the doors
are insults to every woman who has
sense enough to be making her own
living at any sort of honorable daily
task.
There seems to be widespread
notion, even among women them
selves. that every woman who is not
duly accredited with the name and
protection of a male being, is prone

ter disregard of the niceties and de-
corums of life.
To the end that the female bread
winner, when caught young, may be
made to feel to the uttermost the
need of male protectors, some excel
lent people have proceeded to make
the Homes for Working Girls" as
cherries, restricted and uncomfort-
able as human skill can manage.
There was once a young girl who
had been spoiled by an Over-indul-
gent mother, and this girl decided
she would leave home and become
independent of motherly interfer-
ence; she went to another city where
she had relatives, and she secured a
"position" at $3.50 per week, sort
ing other peoples soiled clothes in
laundry.
AS the relatives were opposed to
the girls being away from her own
home, she left their roof and went to
live in Boarding Home" maintain
ed under the rigid discipline OF
Board of Episcopal ladies.
When the girl went to her
room for the first time, and found a
little iron bed exactly like three
other little iron beds in the same
room, and when she was handed a

After Many DAYS.

Inc words of truth are never lost.
Like long buried seed, they will
bloom forth at last. A youth of if
teen once heard the celebrated Flavel
preach a plain, powerful sermon,
from which he received no immediate
impressions. Soon after he came to
America, where he lived to be a hun
bred years of age-a thoughtless,
careless old man. One day, while sit
ting alone under a tree, his past life
came wildly before him, and W. the
hills of memory, clear as the blue
above him, rose the days of his youth,
and with them the Sabbath morning
when he heard the great, solemn Fla
vel. The sermons thrilling words
came back to him like an alarm bell
over the silent sea of years, awaken
ing every sleeping sin. Startled and
stung by conscience, he was led at last
from a deep sense of guilt to a for
giving Judge and a loving Saviour.
He Joined a neighboring church, and
for sixteen years lived to be a con-
sistent follower of Christ, and then
Luke Short died at the age of 116
years in the glorious hope OF a
blessed Immortality.
- Little thought Flavel that his living
words should echo over the sea OF
time, across the ocean between the
old and the new world, awakening a
sleeping soul to everlasting glory

have riches enter into the Kingdom
of Heaven" Sometimes l think we
pray too much for the poor man and
too little for the rich. We lavish our
sympathies upon the pauper and we
fling scathing denunciations at the
p%lutocrat. Each type of man has his
peculiar temptations, and everything
depends upon the way in which he
deals with that temptation. So many
men show weakness here, and 1t is all
the more pitiable because they nave
shown such strength in other things.
The temptations to fragrant forms of
evil they will meet with the con-
queror's spirit and then will yield to
the insidious and subtle temptation
of placing their fortune building, or
their fame acquiring, in the supreme
position of their life. Oh, how often
we see this, and how sad it is, when
we know what the result always is.
1t never deviates, for it is an inexora-
BILE law of life, hat the man who
spends his days in simply getting and
gaining, robbing himself of all the
beauty that is within him, RELOCATING
God to an inferior position, trampling
upon the high ideals that dominate
a noble mind, the end of such a man
is worse than the beginning-it is
failure-it is loss. But what a bene-
diction to the world is the prosperous
man, who has recognized Jesus Christ
through all the days Of his prosperity,
who has given to Him the first place
and put his prosperity in the second.
Whatever our undertaking may be in
life, whether a business or a profess
sional career, let US bring to it the
inward force of ambition, always con-
templating success, but let is also
keep in mind the danger that we are
in of having our religious ferVor
stifed.

"Come."

A certain king was accustomed on
set occasions to entertain all the beg
CARS of the city. Around him sat his
courtiers. all clothed in rich apparel;
the beggars sat at the same table in
their rags of poverty, so Chas. H.
Sturgeon used to tell the story. Now
it came to pass that on a certain day
one of the courtiers had spoiled his
silken apparel, so that he dare not
put it on, and he felt, 81 cannot go to
the kings feast to-day, for my robe
is foul" He sat weeping, till the
thought struck him, Tomorrow,
when the king holds his feast, some
will come as courtiers, happily decked
in the beautiful array; but others will
be dressed in rags. Well, we'll" says
he. $50 long as l may see the kings
face, and sit at the kings table, [
will enter among the beggars." So,
without mourning because he had lost
his silken habit, he put en- the rags OF
a beggar, and he saw the kings face
as we'll as if he had worn his scarlet
and fine linen. My soul has done this
full many a time, and l bid you do
the same; if you cannot come as q
saint, come as a sinner, only do come;
and you shall receive JOY and peace.

6nanciers and philanthropists in the
United States, pioneer Of California
and father of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid.
wife of the United States Ambassador
to Great Britain, died at his winter
home near San Francisco, Cal. He

If Westchester County, North Salem.
He began life and worked until
twenty-one as clerk in various stores
and shops, and in 1S4S-more than
half a century ago-he found his way
to Sacramento, Cal, and opened a
general store for the patronage OF
miners and the adventurous element
that was rushing to the Eldorado in
the famous days of '49.
Success attended his storekeeping
from the very start, and, being firmly
established in business, his next ven
ture was to establish a bank-the
Gold Bank of Sacramento-for the
deposit of the spare cash that did
not drift into his store. This bank is
still in existence.

Middle West All the faction"
They Have Been Demanding.

Washington, D. C.-With the re-
converting of Congress, after the holt
day recess, it becomes possible and
permissible to outline the winters
executive program which President
Taft will ask the two Houses of Con-
gress to enact into law, and which the
Republican leaders of both branches
have promised the President shall be
enacted into law. The items of the
program in the order of their import
ance are:
Amendments to the Interstate Com.
merce act.
A law providing for the voluntary
Federal incorporation Of corporations.
A law putting upon the statute
books the so-called Roosevelt policies
On the conservation of natural re.
sources, as recommended in Secre.

That is the Presidents winter pro-
gram of legislation. That is the pro-
gram which Aldrich, Hale, Cannon,
Payne, Dalzell, Tawney, and the other
Republican managers of legislation
have promised Mr.. Taft they will take
up and endeavor to put through for
him. That is the program upon
which the Republican members of
Congress must go to the country next
November for reelection. The radi-
cal insurgents" of the Middle West

proposals which the President recon-

Mr.. Taft will not, with blare of
trumpets or sounding drums, seek to
agitate the public mind in behalf of
his recommendations. He will not
personally appeal to the country be-
tore applying to Congress to have his
recommendations made into law. He
will not start a back fire" in the dis
tricts of members of Congress who
show themselves lukewarm or antag-

Has Faith in Shore Farms.

Franklin Dye, secretary Of the
State Board of Agriculture, believes
that the abandoned farms along the
main or inland shore of the New
Jersey bays can be made to pay. To
prove it he has bought a farm at West
Creek that formerly supported a large
family for a century and a half, but
which for the last generation has
practically been allowed to run to
seed. Secretary Dye intends to prove,
it is said, that fsrming along the
shore can be made just as profitable
as oyster planting when as much skill
Is used.

The Source of Power.

The power which inspiration has
over the body is one of the miracles
of life. The career of every man
who influences his generation dis
plays it, but each new instance gives
new energy and strength to those
willing to profit by example. Colonel
Hammond, an old friend Of Dwight L.
Moody, has this story to tell OF the
spirit of the evangelist:
Mr.. Moody, says the colonel, came
to see me n Sunday after his morn
ing service, seeming to be quite tried
out. He threw himself into a chair
and burst out with the following ex-
carnations:
81 am used up! Can't think or
speak or do anything elsei There Is
my meeting at the church tonight.
You must take it! 1 have absolutely
nothing left in mel"
Knowing that Mr.. Moody never
asked for help unless he needed 1t, !
promised to take the service of his
hands. When the time came, l went
to the Illinois Street Church and
found the house quite full. / was
about to commence the service, when
in walked, or rather rushed, Mr..
Moody, followed by a long line Of
young men, whom he had picked up
in saloons or on street corners, and
brought with him on an errand whic1
was evidently to them a new one
Mounting the platform with q
bound, he seized the hymn-book and
began; and from the beginning to
the end of that service 1 had nothing
to do but to keep out of the way.
1t appeared that he had taken an
hour or two of rest, and then, having
no care about the evening service on
his mind, took up his old fahNiaT
work of bringing in recruits, AT which
he happened this time to be still more
successful than usual.
AS he led the way to the church
some happy thought struck him, and
between the street corner and the pull
pit he arranged a sermon which was
one of the most effective l yer heard
him preach.

Teachers Favor Reforms.

The New Jersey Teachers Associa-
ton In resolutions adopted at the clos

for defects in the educational system
Of the State, which Governor Fort de-
clared to be "overoficered and weak
with fads," and called upon the Leg.
islature to make a complete and ex-
haustive report of the findings of the
Senate committee which is now prob
ing the administration of the school
laws. While the 500 teachers re-
Trained from going into the matter
more emphatically in advance of the
report, the convention reaffirmed its
conviction that the constantly grow
ing demand for trained teachers
makes mandatory the provision of adj
ditional facilities for professional
training, and freely conceded that
there Is need of greater efficiency in
the rural schools of the State. The
report urges the adoption and actual
S of uniform courses of study adapt
ed to the needs of the country child,
and that county superintendent be
given greater powers by legislation.
In a further resolution which evoked
much enthusiasm the convention
recommended to the schools the new
patriotism that begins at home, that
emphasizes a mans duty to the COM
munity in which he lives, that lays
upon every man, woman and child
the obligation to be clean in person
and home and to actively cooperate
In making the neighborhood clean and
beautiful; that urges upon all to work
for good schools, roads and streets,
for pure water and food, and the pro-
per enforcement of all rules, ordi-
nances and laws aiming to make the
community a good place for a home.
The association will ask the Legislat-
ure to remedy a material discrepancy
between State laws which permit
children over fourteen rears to work
in factories, while making attendance
upon school compulsory up to seven
teen years.
