The frst house we stopped at was
= queer, forsakenlo0king two-story
building where an old-fashioned knock
er hung hopelessly and helplessly BY
= worn bit OF cord. There was no use
to knock. 20 we stepped inside and
walked on up the carpetless stairs.
Before we reached the top q woman
opened door and looked out. rather
fearfully. The surroundings seemed
to indicate that anything to improve
lths conditions would be welcomed.
I'VE just called to ask you Il you

We chatted with her. Yes. have

She does lots Of back-door can

She gives afternoon teas and
evening at homes for voters.
She passes the time OF day with

She is conversant with and talks
, about everything from babies TO

"Will you register" asked Miss
Drake. "Oh, yes. maybe" she said
smilingly.
Up and down long flights Of stairs.
In and out back yards, into corner gro

and large private dwellings we went.
Sometimes Miss Drake saw the hired
girl. Sometimes she. saw the lady OF
the house. 1t didn't make any diff
ference, for they were all women
equipped with an equal right and pow
er, the right to register and then TO
vote.
And nearly every woman declared
her intention to use her right to the

sprung a leak, the housewife may do
a little repairing herself. The water
should be turned off and a solder made

form a thick paste. Apply this mix
ture to the leak and in little while
the water may be turned on very slow

Thoughts of the Future.

1t is the fault of many parents in
this easy going land that they allow
their boys and girls to grow up with
out any apparent thought of the
future. They seem willing to take
the chances that their boys will ac-
quire business habits and be able to
take care of themselves, as Dogber-
ry assumed reading and writing
were acquired by nature. The hab-
its of Incidence, which are all the
boy has learned, are not easily over
come and prove a stumbling block
at the beginning of his career. How
many foolish mothers excuse them
selves for bringing up their daugh-
tiers in idleness, with the thought
they will certainly marry, as if an
idle wife and mother were not a
more despicable object than an idle
maid. They cannot realize the suf-
fering the girl must 90 through in
order to overcome the habits of
e1se in which she has been reared
if she is ever to be a useful woman.
The lesson which it is most neces-
sary to teach our children is one of
thoughfulness and industry. This
is a lesson that must be constantly
instilled into the child and growing
boy and girl. AS the population of
the land increases, the opportunities
for successful careers are narrowing
and none need hope to attain sue
cess without systematic, industrious
habits.

LINCOLN MCCONNELL

Lincoln Mcconnell was a son of
Tennessee lawyer and was early
trained in the study of law. At the
close of his college career he went
West and became q cowboy. but
later returned to the South, where
he became a policeman on the At
lanta police force He was soon
promoted to the position of detec-
tive, in which capacity he served
for four years, and still later acted
as assistant to the solicitor in the
criminal court for two years.
He was converted while men,
Der of the police force and deter
mined that he would spend his time
in uplifting men rather than in
putting them in Jail Since that
time he has been able to help
thousands. His experience in deal
ing with criminals makes him an
authority on the subject Crime and
Lawlessness," which is one of his
lecture topics.
Mr.. Mcconnell served for a time
as pastor of the downtown Peoples
Church in Atlanta, where his con-
gregations often reached 1000, and
where he built up a great downtown
movement. His work as an evange-
list is we'll known.
He has made over 5000 public
addresses in the last twelve years,
and wherever he has gone he is
universally conceded to be one OF
the most original, forceful and
unique speakers before the public.
He is a natural wit and humorist
and, without the slightest straining
after it, gets into instant touch with
his audience, and they laugh or cry
as he wills, though they laugh more
than they cry, for he says the world
has enough to cry over without his
adding to it.
But his success as a public speak
er is not accounted for soly by his
wit and humor. His lectures are
not "a mere string of stories" for he
believes that life is too short fol
you or him to laugh over nothings
when there are plenty of things
helpful to be laughed over. Thous
ands have come to hear Mcconnell
with heavy hearts and feeling that
life was hardly worth the effort, and
have gone away with the blues dis

are living and have a share in the
battles of life, then hear Mcconnell
