Some Day

Some day there will be funeral and you or
/ will be in II. Sad isn't itf NO, not DIT.
But it's mighty sad to think that we have
got to wait till that day to ge our bouquets.
on that day they win bring flowers and pile
them on our bier, and they Will also shower
flowers of speech-sweet complimentary moth
ings-the forgetm -nots of sadness.
Eyes, / knew him, or her; II is too bad that
such good fellow should be taken from u.s."
No one will be so cruel as to say a mean
thing about us If we have lived half decent
sort of life. Gossip seems to have died with
be worthy sacrifice for any one to make
to blot the cursed thing from off the earth.
But no; there is a resurrection OF gossip. 1t
will rise again and attack another; some living
name to hound It TO the grave. Those flowers,
how we would rejoice TO receive them while we
yet live. The dead do not enjoy the flowers;
they pat there to sho wsympathy Tor he
living; a token of respect for the dead. AZ
for me: give me the bouquets before die.
Why can't be charitable to the living
as 10 the dead? Why do wait until man
goeth to his long home" before we stop our
friends and say a good word about this or that
person. Why do we not let our friends know
before death how much we esteem them; how
much enjoy their influence?
Some day there will be funeral. and we WIN
be the mourners. 1t will not be half 30 bitter
a day II we have scattered flowers along their
pathway and said good things while vet the
heart could bound with Joy and the lips smile
with pleasure at the praise.

near Miss Thomas:

Dear Miss Thomas:
May l come in this morning and nave enat
with the Household?
Poor Mans Wife, Anxious Mother did not
really mean she would rather her daughters were
dead than marry poor man. She does not want
them to marry trifling men. / do not blame
her for when they marry men without homes
or any means of support IL Is a hard struggle
uphill and most of them die struggling
1t must be a hard hearted mother that doesn't
care enough for her girls to care whether they
marry men with homes or some good means OF
support or not.

he can If he will work to that point.
1t does not help one bit In our homes to
tell what the men do. II you can help them
any by talking to them say do 1t; but don't
talk abb hit them to other people because 1t
does more harm than good.
Mr. Bach, you come down to us this
summer. 1 have some girls and boys. one girl
away at school and the others from home now
but in the summer they will all be at home
and II the cold hasn't injured the fruit we will
have plenty of that. I think maybe We could
make you enjoy yourself for a few days.

Let's FORGET UnpIeaSantnesS

Dear Household: Spring is with us again,
the cold rainy days OF winter have passed. We

other years harvest, and the busy wife is at

ems. May Bee, 1 should like to know you per
sonaIly. You surely gave sylvanus Stubs
some practical arguments on womans suffrage.
II man can leave his work and spend a
day around the town, or wherever he may 60
10 vote, woman can leave her home and
children for hour or two.
Some pepole seem TO think that the whole re-
sponsibility Of child training rests upon the
mother 1t is the fathers duty to help in this
great work. but great many OF them do not
seem 10 realize 1t, woman can teach her
set an example Of patriotism by voting for the
right man and right measure, If she only had
the opportunity. As Il Is she has to abide %, oy
probably less brain than she has, pay taxes
on her property, and yet she Is needed at
home when the time for voting comes
Sylvanus Stubs seems to enjoy writing about
girls. but his opinion Of them is not very flat
tering. Really, believe that his unflatter-
be does not know very much about them. /
don't think the girls OF his community are a
fair sample of true womanhood, or else he
does not know what true womanhood consists

think 1t will be long time before women
will get 10 vote, for the simple reason that
men viii keep them out as long as they can.
They know that women are beginning to fight
for the right, and a great many unprincipled
office holders would be out of a job.
1t has taken a long time for some of the men
to find out that women should not always
stay at home all the time and build palaces
for the men out OF a few old broken chairs
and other old furniture that he has provided
for her to make it with. Then after the palace
is built and the queen sits down to be wor-
worship the most of them would get. l have
seen the time, many times, that have wished
truly that i could vote. Take prohibition, for
instance, what the women would do for whisky
would be a plenty. And once they had pro-
hibition law they would enforce IT to the bitter
end. We have prohibition In Georgia. We
have blind tigers, we have saloons called drug
shops, have walking Saloons and so-called
Christians living all around and they say
they afraid to say anthing for fear they
will be burned out. Women may be afraid Of
rats. they may be afraid OF snakes and bugs,
and all such things as that, but after some
good loving mother or sisters have seen son
or brother or dear friend come rseling home
under the influence OF the awful stuff. they
get brave as a lion. They care for nothing,
but to save that dear one; for one be.

Appreciates Her Neighbors
Dear Household:

Dear Household:
Since reading the letter from Alabama Mary in
the paper Of March IS / have decided to write.
| can truly say there worldly goods that
would induce me to live where l could not have
any neighbors. We have only one life to live
In this world. and / want to enjoy visiting my
neighbors and having them visit me. few
years ago we lived in community where peo-
pie were thickly settled but we only had two
neighbors. We had sickness but most everyone
seemed TO think they didn't have time 10 go
to see the sick.
The community now live in is OF another
kind. When one gets sick the neighbors seem
10 think ii their duty to go and do something
for them. We had serious sickness and death
in our family in January. A sweet little girl
Of two and a half years was taken sick and
lived only about four weeks. During her sick
ness and death neighboTs were certainly
kind. they never seemed TO get too busy or too
tired to come. / often think Of the old and
true saying "A friend In need is a friend In
deed" I say give me good neignDOrs.
/ have been reading the Household letters for
some time and enjoy them very much. This IL
my first visit l will not tarry longer.
wishing Miss Thomas and the Household much
success. MRS A. BELL.
