THESE ARE HER
 GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES

It goes without saying that. she is tired; perhaps has household tasks to perform; sewing, mending. freshening ur her own blouses, hat to trim, gloves to doctor up, their few rooms to tidy up, and a hundred-and-one tasks to before she can seek rest and forget fitness in tired natures sweet restor- CT, sleep.
 Granted that these necessary duties must be accomplished, I still maintain that she should not give up all her SreciouS youth time to these tasks. Life, health, happiness, in short, her future prospects demand that she should devote a portion of her even ings to recreation Every working girl should make a solemn compact with herself that she will devote two evenings of her week to pleasure, wis iting a girl friend who lives near, talk in ga hea1thfu1 walk with women com Fpanions on the brightly-hghted streets.
 She isAgfving herself the benefit of seeing and being seen.
 AcQuaintances meet where hills and mountains don't. When least expected she will be introduced to a worthy
 person who is only waiting until he comes across his ideal girl to WOO and wed.
 Stitching away on something which
 can be got along very well without in l the four walls of home is a waste of
 energy and time. She is cheating her
 self out of the time which should be
 hers for recreation and nlangling with
 the outside world and is keeping her self hidden from the puzzled swain
 whom Cupid has commanded to search | far and wide until he finds her 1 Working girls are their own worst enemies when they deny tn themselves
 the opportunity Of meeting nice people 1 of both sexes. NJ matter how ex- l f6o o4 1 the close of her working day thai should not be her excuse, to herself
 for staying indoors and breeding over l the loneliness of her life.

DO ALL WORKING GIRLS
 HAVE A CHANGE TO WEI? !?

'f'er love. after ali. is the purpose of
 life,
 The aim of the struggle5 and turmoil
 and strife; If somebody loves you, why worry and For love we are living and love cannot
 die.''
 If the majority of young women could map out their futures, ninety nine out of a hundred would elect to be wives. This is especially true of the girls who are breadwinners Not that work in any of it's branches is distastefu1, or too laborious. but the path of duty seldom runs parallel with teh path of love, they imagine; there fore their opportunities of meeting marriageable men are limited.
 I cannot agree with the girls who hold this view. I think each young woman can shape her future to a Ger tain etxent. No matter how hard she may have to toll from daylight to dusk, she has her evenings, at least half of them, during the week.

Scientific Housekeeoina.

"Don't you have trouble getting sufficient variety of foodT' she asked.
 No" said the woman who runs a boarding house; that's the easiest part of it. You see, I make up a series of menus for breakfast, dinner, etc., at the beginning of the season and then they go on steadily till the end of it. The cook knows just what to prepare each day, and I am not at all both ared.''
 "sBut don't. your boarders get tired of having the same thing each week on the same dayT'
 ''Ah," said the landlady, that's where fool 'em! They don't have the same thing on the same day of the week. There are ten separate menus. If we hegin, say, with hash on Mon day, the next time they have hash is R week from Thursday and the next time week from the following Sunday Nobody can tell what he's going to have on any given day without work ing it out with a pencil and paper, and as nobody is likely to go to that trou- ble just for the sake of finding his meals monotonous, the result is, in fact, as pleasantly varied as if the menu for the day was composed every morning. .''-New York Post.

A LEGISLATIVE BURLEsQUE.

Mrs. Wiggs, unable to recall any
 thing else that might be said in favor
 of the deceased MT wiggs, always
 stated with fearful pride that he wrote
 a good hand. In a similar spirit of tolerance it may be said of the late New York legislature that it had a 1 sense of hurnor.
 Note Senate Bill No. 1.5O0, intro
 duced by MT. Marshall, who dips his pen in satire and begins as follows: | t'On1y one price for a, given conmo- | dity shall be lawful. A farmer desir- ing to change a price shall file a
 schedule thereof with the state agri-
 cultural department, which shall go into effect thirty days thereafter, un4
 less suspended by the commissioner
 at the instance of any consumer" MT. Marshall takes the hird man 1 under his. wing in 321: Every faremr 1 shall hire one more hired man than l his work requires,'' and in 324: | Sheds shall be built over the fields 1 where hired men have to work in ! summer" Furthermore all double 1 teams are to be provided with | coup1ers so that hired men heed not l go between the wheels of theN Wagon
 and the heels of the horses and every 1 bull is to 'be equipped with a bell
 of not less than fifty pounds weight | a steanwhistle and an electric head 1 light"
 ] Inough MT. Marsha1Is speciality is 1 burlesque he is not aVerse to a bit of harmless punning: elf a cylinder is l missing, the farmer must find ft-be- fore he runs on the road again. One l can picture the mock soIemnity with l which the Senate listened twice to the reading of this masterpiece, ordered 1 1t printed, gently lowered it into \the l committee on agriculture, and then 1 greatly refreshed, returned to the
 serious work of pena1izing women who work in canning +faetories-The

YOUTH AND THE
 YEARS ARE FLEETING

She should be up and doing, making the most of the present which will have much to do in shaping her ft- ture, though she may not realize this fact. It is a young woman's individ- uality, her persistence to help herself and get the most out of even a hum ble life which will bear fruit The four walls of home are often a jail, and the young woman her own jailer. She should not bury herself while she is alive.
 Girls who are missing their chance of matrimony may find, if they look into the situation closely, that it Is their own fault.

ToDAY's POEM
FOREVER OUT OF THE TESTER.

 The old. sweet songs of our mothers time, When stars arO out in the summer When wearied babies have come to climb To mothers arms for her 1ullabye, When little brother, and sister-girls Are snuggIed safetly to mothers breast And little heads with their tousled curls Have found the haven of percet rest The old, sweet songs by our mothers sung As sweet as the breath of a van ished June When the round moon in the sky is hung, wRsn love and living are all in tune; When scuffed-out slippers are put aside And little socks-and pink feet are And bedtime fairies aresout to ride. And lamprght falls on the baby's s The mother-songs of the o1den tims. When we were small as the baby there. when up on the mother-knees we'd For her dear touch on our rump1ed The old songs!

Shut up School:
Cause, Bad Roads

schools in the country have often
been closed for different reasons. but
1t has not been often that any OF the
schools closed on account of bad roads.
Such was the case. however. in Liberty
township this week.
For three days the new consolidated
school was closed because the roads
were so bad that the hack drivers could
not make their routes thru the mud
and haul the children to and from
school. The hacks, such as are used by
this school are quite heavy. and when
loaded with children. make fairly
good load, and altogether TOO big load
to get thru roads such as have been
everywhere in the county this week.
