The World Has Little Respect for the
Man Who Seemingly Has No
Mind Of His Own.

There are many men who seem to
have no convictions on any subject.
If they have any they give no sign.
They only smile and are silent. That
is probably better than to be verbose
and violent. Vanity of opinion is as
bad as to have none at all. In a real
simon-pure conviction, there are mod
esty and courage both. Truth is in
the quiet voice, since it does not de-
pend on vainglory or rant.
But real man will say his say
when the time comes, not for contro-
versy-for that is not profitable, but
to show his hand and what he is. "A
mans personal influence is stronger
than his argument, and he is false to
the truth that is in him If he does
not show that.
We have great issues before US
moral, political. social-which every
man should think about and under
stand. and be ready to take a stand
upon, and take 1t. But there are
many who don't do this. who are mega
tive or cowardly and only smile or
grin when one of these subjects is
mentioned. They seem to think that
to disagree with another is great
offense. 1t is an offense not to dis
agree If one really does, for If an er
ror goes unchallenged, it is strength

Practical Arts of Home Are
Taught Young Women.
Boston Has In Full Operation Two
More Advanced Institutions for
Those Who Expect to Enter
Industrial Field.

Boston.-In addition to the indus
trial classes for girls in the regular
day elementary schools Boston has
now in full operation two more adj
vanced schools for girls who sooner
or later expect to take up some In
dustrial pursuit. These are known as
the Girls Trade school and the High
school for practical arts. The Girls
Trade school is conducted for the
purpose of giving trade training to
girls between the ages Of Ia and 1S
years who are obliged to become
wage earners. 1t does not matter
how far girl has progressed in the
elementary schools. The principal in
charge selects from the number OF
applicants those only who are most
likely to be able to satisfactorily COM
plete the course.
There are four distinct courses Civ
en- at this school: Dressmaking, MILL
merry, straw machine operating and
clothing machine operating. A girl
on being admitted to this school
elects one of the courses, which she
learns thoroughly. She is also re-
ouired to take supplementary studies
in spelling, reading, business forms,
arithmetic, business English, textile
color and design, cookery and physi-
cal exercise.
In domestic science she takes her
part in the preparation of the daily
luncheon Of the school She learns
the value Of simple and nutritious
food, the maintenance Of health,
economy of buying and attractive
serving. The care Of the body. the
necessity of proper food, sleep, exer-
else, correct standing and sitting. and
the need of fresh air are taught
In this class In design instruction
is given in costume sketching, COM
binations of colors, garment design
ing and sketches for millinery. This
work Is Immediately and definitely
correlated with the shop.
Articles are also manufactured and
placed on sale. The standards of the
school in every department are the
same as found in outside shops and
factories. The prices are the same
as charged in the better shops, and
the quality of workmanship must be
as high. Thus in the school the girls
meet the same high conditions that
they afterward meet outside. The
school begins in September, when the
other schools begin. 1t requires about
year for a girl to reach satisfac-
tory standard Of proficiency. Having
completed year at the school the
girl is given certificate of prof.

The high school of practical arts
has inside of four years outgrown its
quarters twice and at present can not
meet the demand made by hundreds
of girls for admission. This school
was started four years ago under dis
couraging conditions, in the Lyceum
hall building, Westinghouse hill.
It had an entering class of rs mem
bers and five instructors. There are
now about 700 pupils in the Sarah j.

was likely to injure his cause. Boldly.

CHAPTER XII.

Unable to control herself any
longer, Annie broke down completely
and burst into tears. When the door
opened and she saw her husband led
away, pale and trembling, between
those two burly policemen, it was as
if all she cared for on earth had
gone out of her life forever. Capt.
Clinton laid his hand gently on her
shoulder. With more sympathy in his
face than was his custom to display,
he said:
Nov, little woman-'tain't no kind
of use carrying on like that! If you
want to help your husband and get
him out of his trouble you want to
get busy. Sitting there crying your
eyes out won't do him any good"
Annie threw up her head. Her eyes
were red, but they were dry now Her
face was set and determined. The
captain was right. Only foolish wom-
en- weep and wall when misfortune
knocks at their door. The right sort
of women go bravely out and make a
fight for liberty and honor. Howard
was innocent. She was convinced OF
that, no matter how black things
looked against him. She would not
leave a stone unturned till she had
regained for him his liberty. With
renewed hope in her heart and reso-
luton in her face. she turned to con-
front the captain.
What has he done?" she demanded.
KILLED his friend, Robert Under
wood"
He watched her face closely to see
what effect his words would have on
her.
Robert Underwood dead!" ex-
claimed Annie with more surprise
than emotion.
YES" said the captain sternly,
land your husband, Howard Jeffries,
killed him."
That's not true! I'd never believe
that" said Annie promptly.
Hes made full confession" went
on the captain.
"A confession!" she echoed uneasi-
ly. What do you mean?"
"Just what l say. Your husband
has made a full confession in the
presence of witnesses, that he came
here to Underwood's rooms to ask
for money. They quarreled. Your
husband drew pistol and shot him.
He has signed confession which will
be presented to the magistrate this
morning"
