Bereavement.

In the fullness of her powers, Miss
Mary Taylor Furman has been
called from earth. 1t is hard to real
ize that she, who a few days ago,
was here with us, giving to her
family and friends the charm of her
presence, and engaged actively in
doing the useful, beautiful things of
life, should be taken away when
there was so much for her to do.
She loved life. The things that were
worth while appealed to her. Re-
ligion, philanthropy, patriotism,
culture, friendship, indeed, every
thing that "broadens the circle OF
light" and tends to human uplift
commanded her interest and time.
She felt her self a part of these
things; she. felt that she had mis-
sion to perform, and duty to the
community as we'll as to her family,
and she did both nobly and we'll.
Glasses of young women sought
her instruction, approaching her
rich store of knowledge and happy
gift of imparting it.
Entertainments were always sure
of success when she participated
her last public appearance was in
behalf of the flood sufferers, just a

"CrOSSinU the Bar"

At the recital, Tuesday evening
of sacred and classical music at st.
Marks church, Tennyson's exquisite
poem, Crossing the Bar was sung
with infinite tenderness. Through
out the big congregation were
hearts saddened by the death of
Miss Mary Furman, a devoted and
beloved member of the church, who
lay in her home that night in her
last sleep. She loved the poem, and
was deeply responsive, ii its promise
of faith. It almost seemed that her
loving heart, though stilled forever,
must feel throb of tenderness in
this solemn, sweet service in the
church she loved so we'll.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the
bar,
When l put out to sea-
y
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark;
And may there be no sadness Of
farewell,
When | embark"
For though from out our bourne
of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
| hope to see my Pilot face to face,
When have crossed the bar"

farmer, you who are becoming dis
satisfied with the farm home, or
your first trip to a large city, where
you expect 10 find lodging and en-
ployment."

young girl, who, the floor walker
says came to work without her
breakfast. Her mother leaves home
at o'clock to have the offices which
she cleans finished before office
hours.
She left the little food she had for
the girl, but WORKOUT and tired the
poor girl oversight and had to run
to catch the car and then had no
money to buy lunch. She collapsed.
Note the conditions in the lava

the unsanitary roller towels, used
by all. There is the powder chamois

like the filthy little slate rag of for

You are expected to appear well,
and if you eat three meals day,
which they should do to keep up
their strength, how much will be
left of the meagre wages.
Then, the rooming houses are to
be considered. They are as thick as
bees. Is the country girl able to dis
criminate, and find a suitable place?
The country girl in a department
store labors under many disadvan-
tages. If she is timid and does not
get along with her work as rapidly
as others, she is liable to be called
to the office for explanation, which
completely undoes her, and she be-
come panic stricken.
Girls, farmers girls, stay where
you are. Keep your freshness of
heart, and purity, in your country
home.
Think of your cosey little room
with heavens fresh air sweepingI
through it; then think of the room
ing house and the crowded depart

Instead of the song of the lark

have probably slept but little for|

streets and you rise from your bed
