 The attractions of home at last palled upon her. She craved excitement. Home and mother were forgotten. Space forbids the tracing of her course step by step. She met the social linertine met him to her sorrow. Her disgrace she hid in an inland hospital. When next seen she had marvelously changed.

 A young life, crowned at its outset with beauty, was blackened and scared in it's morning. Its noontide brought shame and disgrace, and the sun of it's setting was obscured with the pail of dark and tragic night of deep despair.
 Girls, heed the lesson take it to heart, and remember that "thers is way that seemeth right, but the end thereof is death"

Tho First oil Wall.

Tn the year 1859 l.. l.. Drake of IT. tusville, Pa, drove the first oil well. Like other pioneers, he was regarded us dreamer or a fool, and people laughed at the idea of tapping a sub- terranean oil lake. It was only by pre- tending that he was in search of il bed of salt that he was able to get drillers to work for him. When the borer had reached a depth of about seventy feet Drake found his antici- pations realized. and he was the pos sessor of an oil we'll which, with the aid of hand pump, yielded him twen- ty-hve barrels a day.-Argonaut.

{. CHICAGO SOCIETY
IS CRITICIZED
East Chicago Lady Gives
Some Unvarnished
Truths.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Oct 14.-Wives of Elks |
who We're present at the recent social |
gathering held by them in the Elks |
hall, are still taking about the rather |
remarkable utteranees made by Mrs
Peter Stirling on that occasion.
Mrs Stirling not only lit into" the |
assembled company. but she lit into
them hard. And the strangest thing
about the whole affair is that nobody
took offense apparently, at the plain
unvarnished truths that Mrs. Stirling
shot into them. in a straightforward
manner that attested the speakers alb
solute sincerity and singleness of pur-
pose.
The speaker was impersonal in her
remarks and aimed her speech not only
at the wives of Elks, but at what she
| terms "so-called society" in East Chi
cago.
..Just what did you say Mrs. Stir
ling" a representative of THE TIMES
inquired of the lady who thus fearless
! Nv had demonstrated the courage of her
Convictions
/ Mrs stirling replied that she did not
| remember exactly what she had said,
but that she could give a pretty good
idea of the gist of her remarks"

ness" said Mrs. Stirling, ION the part
of some who fancy themselves just a
shade above the rest. l told them that
there was not a woman in all that gath
ering who was entitled to carry her
head an inch higher than any other
woman present. AS far the social
scale" was concerned, we were all in
the same boat. We are all hard-work-
ing folk and / trust honest and re-
| spectacle. There may be a difference
between the honor and responsibility OF
some of us. but even that does not
count so long as nobody knows any
harm of u.s. | don't know as 1t is our
place to Judge. A good many of US can
