Why Choose the Store Z

Why should It be considered mental
to do homework for others and highly
proper to keep house for ones self?
This is a question of more than ordi
nary importance in these days Of the
great development OF the department
store business and the increasing aban.
donment of home life. 1t presents a
problem which is troubling both those
who have families of girls and those
who have homes to keep, and its solu-
ton seems far from discovery.
DR.. Charles M. Sheldon, the author
preacher of Topeka, discusses this sub.
ject / n his book, "Malcom Kirk" His
idea is that an educated girl can dc
homework with social credit to her.
self, If she will. His theory is well
worked out and illustrates, in story
form, how the prejudice can be over
come. The solution is a good one
but, unhappily, is only theory.
There is some doubt about its put
ting a young woman on a higher plane
socially, to clerk in a department store
than it does to keep house. True, the
clerk wears better clothes on week
days than does the housemaid, but not
on Sundays. 1t may be that she is
more often sought as a wife. but she is
said to be no more often a success as
a wife. She does not have afternoons
off during the week and she can never
sit down at 8 o'clock to read and spend
two hours in quiet. She does not have
her room and board furnished her and
seldom gets a wage sufficient to make
up the difference. The American girl
is noted for her desire to be indie
pendent financially and socially. She
also desires to be free from the
drudgery of the dishpan and the wash.
tub" A clerkship will make the last
possible, but the harsh, unkind, pur.
chasing public, strict overseers and
vicious temptations Of the modern
commercial world greatly Offset the
advantage of so-called financial indie
pendence.
AS for the "%drudgery" of house
keeping" there is drudgery in every
occupation and profession known tc
humanity. A trained nurse rightfully
ranks reasonably high in the social
world, but the drudgery, dirty work
washing, homework and cooking
which a nurse has to do is astonishing.
Yet it is honorable work of a high or
der which attracts the daughters OF
cultured families who are proud OF
their profession, with just ause.
One of those beautiful characters
whom it is a blessing to meet and to
know once rebuked a group of women
who we're discussing the "drudgery OF
housekeeping" by saying: THE way
to get rid of the "%drudgery of house.
keeping" is to call housekeeping a
pleasure and a blessed privilege. If
ones heart is right there Is little
drudgery about it more than about any
other occupation"

THE KINGS RING.
Theodore Tnton.

Theodore Tilton.
Once in Persia relgnet- a king
Who upon his signet ring
Graved a maxim true and wise.
Which, IL held before his eyes,
Gave him counsel at a glance
Fit for every change and chance,
Solemn WORDS; and these are they:
Even this h pass away"
Trains of camels through the sand
trough him gems from Samarcand;
Fleets. OF galleys through the seas
Brought him pearls TO match with these:
But ne counted not his gain
Treasures of the mine or main.
What Is wealth." the king would say;
Even this shall pass away"
In the revels OF his court
AT the zenith of the sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests,
He, amid his figs and wine,
Cried. 'Oh, loving friends OF mine!
Pleasure comes, but not TO stay,
Even this shall pass away
Fighting on a furious field.
once a javelin pierced his shield,
Soldiers, with q loud lament,
Bore him bleeding to his tent,
Grooming from his tortured side,
Pain IT, hard TO bear" he cried;
But, with patience day by day,
Even this shall pass away"
Towering in the public square,
Twenty cubits In the air,
Rose his statue. carved in stone.
Then the king, disguised, unknown,
Gazing at his sculptured name,
Asked himself: What is famST
Fame Is but a slow decay,
Even this shall pass away"
Struck with palsy. seTe and old,
Waiting at the gates OF gold.
Spake he with his dying breath:
Life Is done, but what is death2"
Then. In answer TO the king,
Fell a sunbeam on his ring.
Showing, by a heavenly ray:
Even this shall pass away"

Mexican Justice and Americans.

Americans employed on Mexican rail-

the theft Of goods by his brakemen, the
Judge finds him guilty Of '~contributory
