Dear Miss Grey: i am
deeply i'm trouble and would
like your advice, as know
you have helped others.
L am a young girl 10, and
am about ready to graduate
from the Eighth grade. DO
you think 1t is wrong to go
with a nice young man? 1
don't care about the nushy
kind; but just plain nice
young man. There are a
bunch of us girls who are
always together, and we en-
joy our own company more
than that of young men.
happened to go out Sum
day night and met q nice
young man and we went to
church. Do you think this
was wrong? The rest of the
girls were with me; but
when 1 got home papa and
mamma were mad and
threatened to send me to the
reform school. They have
threatened to many a time
just because I've got tenn
per, and 1 take it after dad,
too.
Now, Miss Grey, 1 want
to know what to do. 1 would
60 away il 1 only had the
money. What would you adj
wise me to do. i want to do
right, but il doesn't seem 1
can and live the way / do.
If 1 could make my own liv-
ing 1 would feel lot bet-
ter; but 1 don't know how.
p. S.-Papa won't even
let me stay up to do my
school work.

the handiest things a house

They are the natural food of

GLOVE SUFFERETH LONG
AND Is KNDo

Dear Miss Grey: A dear
little girl L know used to let
me take her to a show once
in awhile but now she is GO
ing with a boy that works
in a moving picture show,
and she won't let me take
her to a show or even buy
her a box of candy. Says
she thinks too much of him.
He never takes her any
where and doesn't seem to
care for her very much;
but she seems to think the
world of him. I'd like to
''ring" his neck. 1 wish you
could tell me how to make
her love me.
LONESOME USHER.
Al can't do it, for love can
not be gained by rule. Let th'
girl strictly alone. She has he
problem; you have yours.
So, you would like to make thu
girl you profess to love. suffer b!

loves. Your love CD is a queeI
kind.

ALL DEPENDS ON THE
INTERPRETATION OF
BIBLE

Dear Miss Grey: It is
astounding that there is any
one living today who would
contend that the opinion of
an old mossback named Paul,
a Roman citizen of the First
century, should fit the Amer
lean woman of the Twenti-
eth century, and fit easy.
Anywhere one may look
among people who can help
their children little, he will
see the girls taking full adj
vantage of their Opportuni-
ties. Conditions that urge,
almost force ambitious girls
toward their highest mental
development are dwarfing
their brothers. The day of
the male boss is over and
that of the female boss is
dawning. A sharp ray of
light has struck these Rip
Van Wrinkles and they are
hurt. What We hear is a
howl of protest.
Paul didn't approve of
women being active in
church work, but self-preser-
walton compelled the church
to reverse his decision. The
unity of the family requires
the same. His servants
obey your masters" must also
be sent to the scrapheap be-
fore economic conditions will
enable us to raise sons who
are intellectually and morally
equal to our daughters. Exit
SHE-BOSS.
Al do not think the day O
the "female-boss" at hand. / sin
cerely hope my sex will not II
this enlightened day make tn,
mistake that men, through ignor
ance, have made in the past.
OF course, / am not PERSONAL,
with Paul, but read
ing his words with light of Jesus
teaching thrown on them, l be
lieve in his Servants obey you
he meant for one not a
developed mentally and spiritual
ly as another to be willing I,
obey the teaching of the one VIII,
knows, and so l believe 1t shout,
be in family, business, and gov
eminent.
Don't you think il we womel
would dwell more on the goo'
qualities men do possess the,
would multiply? There are othe
ways of sowing seeds besides il
the ground, and the thought see,
counts for so much.

I.ONESOMENESS CAN'T BE

Dear Miss Grey: 1 mar
ried a good, kind man when
1 was 10 years of age. We
have no children and my hus-
bands vocation takes him
away from home, sometimes
a month at a time. 1t is
needless to say L am very
lonesome.
Now, Miss Grey, another
young man has been paying
attention to me several
times during my husbands
absence, and the other even
ing he proposed, saying that
i'm case L accepted him he
will be in position to arrange
his affairs so he will not
have to leave me home alone
for any length of time.
earnestly think we could
love each other; but am
doubtful as to my right to
pursue such a course.
A LONESOME WOMAN.
A.-You have already commit
ed a great wrong against you
husband in allowing a young maj
o propose to you. You know a
we'll as l that you have abs
utely no right to allow such
hing, and such a man will maxi
,ou more lonesome than you ar

EDITORIALS
Graduation Day

The American people like forms, cere-
monies, and functions. The senior
boys, who don't quite know how to find
places for all their arms and legs, would
be glad to receive their diplomas out
back of the school house. Not so for
the girls, who have undergone weary
hours of dressmaking, nor for the adj
miring relatives, who want the wide
world to know what their young folks
have done.
The American people make great sac
rifces to educate their children. The
only midnight oil consumed nowadays
is what the parents burn in earning the
tuition fees. For the children it is his
tory of pleasant work, exhilarating So
cial life, thrilling athletics. 1t looks
like one land OF holiday when COM
mencement day rings down the final
curtain on this scene of pleasure.
No cloud of doubt oescures the grad
yates view of the future. American
friendliness to education has so far re-
moved the rocks from the way. Who
can doubt that the pilgrim path yet to
be trod will be equally smooth? Who
would speak his doubts if they had
them?

When England Needed Bread.

England was once on the verge of a
bread famine That was in 1900, when
the wars with France combined with
a succession of bad harvests to plunge
the country into state Of general des-
titution. "a law was enacted" writes
Mr.. F. w. lakewood, prohibiting the
sale OF bread till it had been out Of the
oven at least twenty-four hours. Food
was so scarce and dear that a portion
OF the population refused to starve In
silence, and rioting broke out in many
parts of England. The acts against
forestalling and regrating'- Is. an
ticipating the markets so as to raise
the price of foodstuffs--were rigorous
ly enforced. A royal grant of $500
was made to one Thomas Toden. to
enable him to prosecute n discovery
made by him of paste as substi-
tute for wheat four."-London Stand

RELIGION AND YOUTH.

Religion must begin in youth.
! have often heard people say
that 1t is not right to bring up
a child in any religion: that the
child should be allowed to decide
the question for himself when he
is matured. Let me suggest that
the person who makes such q
statement IS either himself de-
ceired or is attempting to de-
ceive some one else. One of the
first principles of physics is that
nature abhors vacuum, and it
applies in morality, too. for the
person who is without religion is
filed with irreligion. The man
who Mt twentS-one does not be-
EaVe in God has already re-
nounced him. who does not be-
Heve that the Bible Is the word
OF God has placed it among the
works Of man. The man who
at twenty-one does not believe
Christ is divine has discarded
him as mere man. Foolish is
the parent who does not per.
ceive that responsibility rests
with the parent for the building
up of child's life.-William Jen-
nings Bryan.

A CITY OF CHANGE.

EPhesus, Once on the Seacoast, 10 Now
Located Far Inland.
Sir William Ramsay characterizes
Ephesus as the City of Change" And
truly it has seen marvellous changes
and its inhabitants many removals. In
the days of St Paul and st. John Eph-
esus was n city of the seacoast; the
waters Of the Aegean Tapped it's busy
wharyes. Now the traveller to Ephesus
can scarcely imagine that he is near
the sea. To all appearances he is as
far away as on one Of our inland prai-
ries The Cayster during all these ages
has brought down mud and silt from
the mountains until now Ephesus is
miles from the SeaShore. Even in St
Johns time the port was kept open
only by strenuous effort and constant
dredging
These changes wrought by nature
have compelled frequent changes on
the part of the inhabitants. The orig
inal city was built not far from Ayaso-
louk and 1.-The whole Ephesian valley
was an arm of the sea dotted with
rocky islands and bordered by pictur-
esque mountains and wooded promon-
tories" we are told. AS the sea receded
in the course of the centuries the pop
ulation moved with it until the Roman
city. the city OF st. Paul and St John.
was some miles from the original site.
At last this port became impossible and
the inhabitants moved farther back.
nearer to the site of the more ancient
city. where today the few inhabitants
that still remain are found.-Christian
