 was almost to abandon reputation. Nurses of that time were coarse. destitute of re- 1nement and stupidly ignorant. Florence Nightingale changed all this by founding the first nurses training school and elevating the nurses work to a real profession. Very soon the hos pital staffs were made up of gentle. re- fined and capable women. In the winter of 1854 the world was hor- rified by the description of the suffering | of the sick and wounded soldiers on the battlefields of the Crimean war. l Came the "angel of the Crlmea."

Mary sontax. Heroine

Mary Sontag of Chicago does not
 know she Is a heroine. She does not even know what the word heroine means. But she is a heroine just the same. Mary Is about years old. Her
 mother died year ago, and, besides
 mary, there are six children-Mike,
 aged 8; Rosie, 2; Georgie. 6; Susie, 5; David, 8; Pinkie, 2. Mary mothers them all She gets up at daybreak to cook her fathers breakf fast so that he may go to his work. Then she helps to dress
 Mike and Rosie and Georgie and get
 them off to school After that she feeds and washes Susie and David and Pinkie.
 That Is not all. Besides being mother, Mary Is finan- cier and general manager of the Son. tag solidarity.
 She pays the rent. She buys the chill dren's clothes and washes and mends their garments. She gets all her fa- ther's wages except what is reserved | for his pipe and his car fare. Mary makes every cent count. The neighbors say the Sontag kiddies are always tidy and clean and that you could eat off the floor of Mary's kitch en.
 | Mary cannot read or write 1 You see, she has been too busy being | a heroine. She had to learn oth CT
 things than books. The mother was
 delicate, and Mary had to help with | the big brood. And as superintendent
 and financial director of the Sontag in- terests she has been exceedingly busy. ] Can you deny that this little slip of an Irish lass, with her busy brain and hands and motherly heart, is less than a heroine?
 | The fact Is we need either new definition or new interpretation of | the word heroism. | A hero or heroine Is our ordinary definition Is one who does the unusual | or the startling deed. whereas you will more often find the real heroism in doing with smiling face the usual or ordinary thing, and doing it over and over
 The heroism that labors quietly. sac rifices willingly, suffers gladly and per sists In such labors and sacrifices to the end-that is genuine heroism. Let the frenzied fnanciers rage. Let | the near great strut in their pride. Let the censorious preach their nasty pessimism. It matters not, because The glory and blessing of the race are its everyday Mary Sontags.

THE BEADLE STATUE.

At the meeting of the State Educa-
tional association held at Lead City
last fall. it was decided to honor Hon.
w. Fl. Fl. Beadle, a distinguished citi-
zen of South Dakota and a prominent
educator, with a life-sized statue to
be placed in the new capitol building
at Pierre, to serve as a lasting memoir
ial for the part he has taken in con-
serving the school lands of the state
and in promoting the cause of educa-
tion therein. There will be no one
to question that the General has been
In the forefront of all efforts to adj
vance the states educational interests,
but because there were others also
prominent and aggressive in the same
field, tht action of the educational as
ISOLATION has been viewed in some
quarters as a tacit reflection upon his
companions, who though deserving Of
commentator, have been overlooked.
OF course no reflection upon anybody
Is intended and If 1t were it would ex-
tend to the whole people of the OLE
Territory and early state, probably in
many cases the parents of those who
are now favorable to erecting this me-
mortal to Mr.. Beadle. For the credit
OF Dakota, and that not only the pres
ent but future generations should not
lose respect for the pioneers of both
Dakotas, it can be truthfully said that
the conservation of the school lands
in the interest of education and the
common schools has ever been a cher
ished purpose. No one al dispute
this by the record.
General Beadle was early placed In
a position where he could do effective
work in the cause Of education, ant
being forewarned by the experience
of Wisconsin, from which state he
came to Dakota, that some land grab
bling scheme might be attempted, he
undoubtedly warned the people
against it. 1t was we'll enough to de-
so as a warning, though no danger
ever threatened.
General Beadle has always beer
highly regarded by the people of Yank
ton with whom he spent the first
twenty years of his residence in Da
kota. He was associated with Rev
Joseph Ward, another distinguished
pioneer educator and divine. with ex
Gov. Edmunds, with Hon. Bartlett,
Trip, with James S. Foster, the frs,
territorial superintendent Of schools
and a Sery aggressive and able educa
tor. and with Rev. Melancthon Hoyt
whose name Is connected with Yank
tons earliest educational efforts. And

AS TO AN ONION DIET.

Food specialists tell us that people
ought to eat more onions. The surest
test Of true love is to go up against
a robust onion breath and come away
without getting cGid feet. The man
who can stand up under the passion
ate aroma of a kiss charged with on
ion salad will never go into the di-
vorCe court. A fiat chested onion
which has not been oYerworked will
bring tears to a mans eyes quicker
than an appeal for the foundling's
home. You can spray a sliced onion
on a swollen tonsil, and after it gets
q sociable clutch on your transmitter
you will welcome death in any form.
There is something about an onion

Chesty as a hot air merchant at the

chaser he is liable to go home and
kick the trimmings off the s~ideboard.
An onion which has been allowed to
sprout a full beard will break up a
swell dinner quicker than a fat man
who has crossed a link of asparagus
with a Queen olive. If you want to
make yourself solid with the social
set, festoon your breath with onion
soup and watt your thoughts across
the parlor in a loud, coarse whisper.
