The general idea is that we are all
pretty well able to look after our own
rights. But this general idea is quite
at fault. We may try to look after our
own rights we may imagine that we
are looking after them. But we are
probably making sorry business of
the whole affair.
For SO few people adequately real
ize what their own rights really are,
or should be. They are like children
cropping in the dark, and not at all
certain of what they really want.
The married woman has certain
rights that really are her due. She
should strive to assert them, too. A
certain length of time each day for
relaxation and amusement Is one of
the chief rights of the married wo-
man. If she Is to fulfill her duty to
her husband and her children thor
oughly she really needs this time for
recuperation.
So many married women complain
that they have not a moment to them
selves. THE day goes by in perfect
! rush." they will declare. ut is really
appalling how time flies. And we
seem to accomplish SO little! No, we
never have a moment for amusement,
or anything of that sort. You don't
understand what the preparing of
three meals a day means, or you
wouldn't ask such question:"
! But it is a woman's right to have
some time in the day to herself. 1t
is also well-known fact, although
1t sounds almost like a contradiction
in terms, that the busiest people are
those who always can find time for
things.
| A lack of system and method Is at
the root of this perpetual rush on the
part Of the harrassed housekeeper. A
little forethought, little planning-out
of the things that must be done and
the things that can wait a while, and
the load would be almost halved.
So many women submerge all their
rights in a slavish submission to their
children. The tyranny of the modern
child, or son, or daughter has come to
take the place of the old-fashioned
husbandly authority.
You can't possibly wear that hat

A VACANT LOT.
(By Elmer Gray.)

(By Elmer Gray.)
There is, in the city of Hattiesburg,
a dense thicket that covers more than
one-half of a block. 1t Is located be-
tween Second and Third avenues. In
til recently it has had no drainage
and has been almost a slough. 1t Is
covered in a dense underground which
houses millions of mosquitoes. All
kinds of waste matter has been thrown
on these premises. 1t serves as a
breeding place for all kinds Of pests.
1t serves as a home for snakes and
like animals. 1t Is a good place for
law-breakers to avoid the officers. A
West Pine street resident at one time,
when passing this tnicket was made
senseless and relieved Of his money
by a robber. Lately a negro escaped
the policemen by dashing through this
thicket. l suggest that the City Fed
Grafton should try to have this piece
of property cleared and well drained

The Mother Who Does Too

always made all my clothes, and
mended them when they got out of

did up my gowns and blouses, and in
everything took upon herself the

ing with the situation"
The mother who acted in this fool
ish way not only violated her own
rights, in turning herself into her
daughters slave, but also most GER
tainly violated the rights of her daugh
ter. To render one human being de
pendent on another and incapable OF
conducting her own affairs is kind
ness which, however we'll meant. is
akin to cruelty.
1t is the instinct of all true mothers
to sacrifice themselves for their chill
dren, and this instinct Is very noble
one But at the same time, they mus
remember that proper training il
independence is the right of ever,
child
So the sensible mother will suppress
her inclination to act as ladys mait

she Will realize that helping Others

ness after all.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
NELLA'S WISH.

When Nellas father and mother
died she went to live with her uncle.
He was a miller and lived In little
house by the mill.
He told Nella he was very poor, but
II she would do the work and help
him she could live there.
SO Nella worked very hard to please
him, but he was miser. and never
thought she did enough to pay for her
board.
One day after she worked very hard
and was tired and hungry. he told her
they could not have any supper that
night. as he did not have money
enough to buy food. as the people fol-
whom he had ground corn had NOT
paid him.
Nella went to bed. but she was SC
hungry she could not sleep. BY and
by she heard noise and she went to
the door OF her room and looked out.
Her uncle was sitting by . tabls
and In front of him, sparkling and
cleaning like FIRE, were beautiful dia
monds. sapphires, rubies and Other
precious stones.
He held them In his hands and ca
ressed them as though they were alive
Then he put them carefully In ar
earthern jar and put them under the
bed.
The next morning when they hat

MAKES
A new BID FOR
Hawaii TRADE !

A direct freight service between
Portland, Ore. and Hawaii, while Oft
EN- discussed. has never been found
practicable The American-H Hawaiian
line has now entered the field for new
business by the inauguration of a spe-
cial service and a fat rate from Co
lumbia river to the islands.
Through an agreement now reached
General Freight Agent G.. P, Morse OF
this city has been advised that coast
agents will accept shipments from
Portland for the hawaiian Islands,
which are to be routed via Puget
Sound and at rate of IS ton. The
fact, the steamers reaching Portland
from New York do not proceed to
Honolulu makes 1t impossible for the
company to make direct shipments,
but through bill of lading is issued.
On the other hand, no shipments can
be made on those vessels from Homo
lulu to Portland, for the liners touch
ing there load sugar for New York
and proceed direct via the Panama
canal.
General Agent Kennedy at Portland
says there has been considerable
freight originating at Portland for the
mid-Paeific group which has moved
by rail to Puget Sound and is there
transshipped. The new plan is to lead
eonsignments on vessels here and car
ry it to Seattle The Hawaiian steam
ers make Puget Sound from New
York via San Francisco and then
swing away from the coast for Homo
lulu. There will be little delay In the
north. Under the present schedule
steamers are due at the Hawaiian
metropolis February 6, February is,
February 26, March s and March Is.
The rate from Puget Sound to the
islands is $3.50 a ton, and $3.50 is
charged from here to Puget Sound,
the reason given being that it must
be handled twice before being loaded
en- the Hawaiian liner. The 81 so diff
ferential is said to be under the rail
tariff from Portland to Seattle, so be-
sides being cheaper for the stuff that
is moving it is hoped to Increase the
business.
