the season the first OF next month.
Roth boats will run through from st.
paul to St,T11puis and return the same

trade between the Saints on much the
same schedule as heretofore. Both
boats have been put in excellent con-
dition by the steamer line and the
trade is expectd to be brisk, more so
than last year, which was an unusual
IL good season for the boats.
The Sidney. the smallest steamer of
the company, out of which the 10 line
has made most OF its earnings and
placed itself on a sound footing, will

A Bright Shine for Nickel Plate.

Nickel faucets and bathroom fixtures are
ornamental SO long as they are kept bright
The trouble is to keep them bright. There are
many substances on the market which profess
to keep plated ware in bright, shiny condition,
but most of them are to be avoided as they
contain harsh, gritty substances which scratch
the nickel and silver plate. Warm suds Of

Woman's World Has Changed.

Ia leading up to these statements
she said that the woman's world of
today is changed world and there
never was time when women occu-
pied the same position in life as they
do today. Three centuries ago the
women were as different as day is
from night when compared with today,
and the same might be said regarding
six centuries ago. compared with three
centuries ago. There has been con-
tinual change in the duties OF woman
hood, she said, and the women of to-
day must adapt themselves to the con-
ditions of today In the days OF our
grandparents, the eloquent, fluent and
thoughtful speaker said, they were
called upon to perform the duties of
making the clothes that are now made
by machines and to do many other
services that the women are not called
upon to do now The evolution in the
change in service, she then stated, has
caused many women to become idle
and in turn restless selfish, uncertain
and unhappy, while those who are
keeping abreast with the times in the
duty of service are made happy. THE
world smiles upon those who serve
and frowns upon those who do not

Road Under Bridge.

Men with picks and shovels were at
work beneath the last span of the
Keokul and Hamilton bridge on this
side this morning, fixing the roadway
there so that teams could drive beneath
it. A trench to carry the water which
runs down Blondeau in torrents during
a rain storm, is being dug to carry the
water straight to the river instead of
letting it deviate here and there.
Many improvements are needed i'll
this section of the city and more par
ticularly along the river front.

Some Suggestions.

Different than the days of our
grandmother, she said, the duties of
women now must extend beyond the
household, while there were many
duties in the home that must be per-
formed now that were not then AS
to the duties of the present time, she
pointed out many and advised all of
her hearers to perform some duties.
She advised the young women to fit
themselves out as fully as they could
along educational lines for the, per-
Torrance of some service in the world
and those WHO could not afford it. to
work for living, for they would then
be of some service.
She also pointed out many other
things chat ire required of the fairer
sex at the IRE sent time that were not
required during the times of the long
ago. bilS at all times advised them to
work for things that were divine, up.

her young hearers to select male com
panions that We're fully equipped for

The tenth annual convention of the
Mississippi Branch met in Greenwood
on the tenth of May last, and was in
session for three days 1t was the
largest meeting ever held by the order,
ana the interest WAS intense. Dis.
tinguished women from all parts OF
the state and from all denominations
testified by their presence ana words
their zeal for the cause. The young
and the old were represented. Surviv.
ors of the old Regime touched shoul-
ders with recent graduates in efforts to
advance the cause Many plans for
both now and old work we're consider
ed
Among the new plans the establish
ment Of Rescue and Industrial Home
for women and girls of the state occu-
pied the first place. Such charity
should meet with general support
To furnish home and help to the
homeless and fallen; TO make God
fearing and intelligent women out of
the ignorant and frail, is charity
that should touch any heart. We

at this time by the enemy as a vidette

on this post. When you came in you

in my mind we walked to the point

it was fat pine stump, as recollected
sixteen or eighteen feet high, and
probably we might find something,
hardly possible To my surprise we
found the old stump, the center of
north standing about twelve inches
high and IS inches through. While
standing discussing the find a young
man in the party struck the stump
and it broke eff. We started back
and came up with some Of the party

LITTLE WANT AID.

Lost A woman's pocketbook
In some busy shopping nook.
Nothing in 1t but a rag
And some powder in a bag;
A shoe buttoner and some
Seven various sorts of gum;
Likewise kimona new
And recent book or two;
A small mirror and rat;
Various trimmings for hat;
Thirteen puffs of extra hair
Some embroidery wrought with care;
Postage stamps some long shoe string,
Several quarts of tritiing things
And purse--no use TO pick it,
1t just holds street car ticket.
He who finds this pocket book,
For these things is urged to look
And at his most rapid gait
