wv A~ Woman @s ok IS. ~i s'd tns
future of a girl of my
age who has allowed her affection
for a man, and her belief in him. to
lead her away from the path of
prudence and purity. and who now
finds the man about to marry an
other girl?
Can the one who is abandoned
and deserted hope for any happi-
ness or success in life?
Can she hope to be forgiven
sufficiently to ever take her place
again among good men and wom-
en-?
Can she do as the man is doing,
marry another without telling of
the error?"
1t is the old, old story and the old,
old pfODlem.
Yet, not quite so much of prob
lem as in olden times.
The two standards OF morals are
less marked than they were even
score of years ago
There are more avenues open
for a woman to find employment,
occupation and growth than there
used to be, and there is a broader
sentiment prevalent in the world
regarding the woman who has
erred. and who earnestly strives to
get back into the right paths.
Work and Study.
Such woman (who has no un-
fortunate evidence of her mistake
to confront her hourly should en-
deavor to occupy her mind as who'll
ly as possible with work. study, be-
nevolent and philanthropic duties
and efforts at self-development and
TOrS6t1uln6SS OF CnS past.
She should think of those things
which build and construct the NOR
al nature, and obliterate to such a
degree as is possible unhappy and
depressing memories.
Nature, as we'll as society, has
made its different laws for men and
women in matters of morals.
A man easily forgets his lapses
from virtue; they slip away, per-
haps no farther than the subcon-
< scious mind, but far enough to give
him a very comfortable feeling ana
to allow him to accept all favors
from good women with no sense of
a troubled conscience.
Even the favor of good girls
love and the bestowal of her hand
and heart he takes without a
qualm.
Possibly this is because he has
been educated from time immemo-
rial to think he has a right to do as
he pleases, and because he knows
women have been educated to &C
cept his misdeeds as trivial faults,
and to forgive them before he asks

are plenty of chances, and ever-in-
creasing wages for any Johnny Ma
son in the world who will never let
up on increasing his working ca
pacity.
But l don't see much in the way
of better times for the Johnny Ma
sons who were as useful and eff
cient twenty years.ago as now, and
no more now than twenty years
ago.
In this problem of Working for
the Boss there is one point we are
forever forgetting:
A man is his own Boss. whoever
lie works for
If there is more in him than
there is in the job, he must take

he has the fare.
For this purpose little cash in
hand to pay the expenses of the
move is Indispensable Here is the
first and logical purpose of Thrift
and Saving.
Get something ahead so as to
command your own freedom when
the move must be made.
A Boss is apt to have a fair
knowledge of relative values, if he
is decent kind of a Boss
How He'll Figure.
He is apt to figure it out like
this;
SO much capacity, so much pay.
Now, answer this:
If the Boss is little slow to
raise the pay, should a man take
revenge on him by not raising his
own capacity?
If man has Skill for Sale, he
must keep on improving it on ac-
count of the competition
And when the habit of Improving
skill Is fixed and reliable, he will
then find a market where his goods
are in demand.
That market will be right here in
the stores.

GREATEST WAR AND BATTLE.

Many persons Of today are inclined
to believe that the American civil war
was one Of the greatest and bloodiest
In all time, and that the battle of Get
tysburg was the greatest and bloodiest
single engagement of any of the great
wars. Consulting modern historical
works, this is found to be far from,
right for according to these works,
the highest estimate of the federals
killed and wounded and missing at
Gettysburg, was less than $4,000 men,
and with the confederates, about
5000 less; which, all in all, is less
than the Russian loss at the battle
of Rorokino.
Modern times dates from the bat
tie Of Chalons, in the year 45l, tho
last great victory of imperial Rome,
when Attila, king of the Huns, known
as the "Scourge of God" was defeat
The battle Of Tours, fought between
the Mohammedan hosts and the
christians, by Charles Martel, COM
mssoned by the pope, was by rar
the greatest battle mentioned in his
tory. The conflict was fought in the
year 1872 and lasted for seven days,
resulting in total defeat for the
Mohammedans with the enormous
loss of $4,000, and over 100000
christians. This engagement saved
christianity from Mohammedan rule.
The seven years war by Frederick
the Great against Austria. France and
Russia. was more bloody than our
war of the rebellion: The Thirty
Years was in Germany was by far the
greatest of modern times. and it is
claimed by many historians that the
loss in life was more than 1900, 600
persons.
Napoleon's wars come next in loss
OF life There were n number of bat
ties more bloody than Gettysburg, the
greatest having been Borodino, where
the Russians left $4,000 dead and
wounded on the field, and the French
about a fourth of that number. Ma
rengo, Wagram, Austerlitz. Leipsic,
Jena and others, were all greater bat
ties than Gettysburg. Waterloo,
where Napoleon was defeated was not
one Of his greatest engagements in
numbers participating nor in loss Of
life. but carried far heavier results
than any other battle Napoleon ever
fought

WHERE OPPORTUNITY WASTES

When an individual wastes an OPP
portunity many look aghast, 1t is so
noticeable to his friends or his one-
mics. Sometimes the entire commun-
ity takes notice of It, But when a
waste is participated in by a munc-
ipality, sometimes it goes on for years
unnoticed, not because it is any the
less of waste, but because 1t has
heretofore been the custom. the gem
eral rule of preceding time.
One of the greatest wastes of this
character is noticed In our public
school system. 1t is seldom ever
brought to an accounting with the
tax payers. But it goes on unheeded
and unchecked year after year, just
as II has gone on that way since the
establishment of our present school
system. This is In special reference
to the idleness Of the property that is
indispensable TO our methods OF pub
lie education. In all reason, why
should school house stand idle for
from three TO four consecutive months
In the year, and two days out OF every
school week besides? Is there con-
slstency between this and the expen-
diture Of public moneys for the great
est good or has this fact anything
to do with a foolish and idiotic GUS
tom behind It? Why should the com
munity waste. 10y idleness. its invested
capital any more than an individual
or corporation. or, getting down
to the practical horse sense OF it all,
why sohuld a church organization do
the same thing?
with the spontaneous and almost
universal revival In the arts and the
esthouc side Of life generally. has ar
rived rapidly developing sense OF the
