along the lines OF progress, as they

duced by rs with the earnest-yea
prayerful-hope that it will serve
as warning against the misfortunes
that must follow in the path of the
Twentieth Century woman. imbued
with misleading ideas, and in her
mistaken belief. wandering away
from the sacred precincts OF home
which nature intended as her sphere
Of usefulness. and after the false
gods Of modern day delusion. Here
is the States story: r
The States is in receipt of the following
pathetic communication which in ex-
planning itself will sweep the chords of
human sympathy in not few masculine
breasts in this community:
Mr.. Editur:
Dear Sir:-I writes to say that / thinks
there air too menny mhther's clubs in
| in this here town what air not good for
the piece of the home. My vile she be-
long tn sum of them and from the way
she acks and talks she air gettin' ready
to jine sum more. She il the vice pres-
erdint Of q muthur's club, an active
membur of sum kind Of league what is
reformin' the publick, and also member
of an Orginysashun to make war agin
tubuckalusus and luther things which
have not yet hear about.
Before We had these muthur's clubs I
ust tn git my meals regler which air not
now the case, and knows of sum of my
Majors what have the same complain to
make and air feel'n' juet like me in re-
speck to the matter. The trubie with
the muthur's club is that they hole their
meetins when they ort to be eatin' dinner
like luther foxes which is q heavy tribu-
lashun for q man to bare what comee
home hungry and has q wife what lie a
membur of Q club. Mr.. editur l writes
to know If there is airy way to cure the
evil what lie growing on the cumunerty
60 that we can git our meals regler and
not have to waite until the clubs git tru
taIkin' on the benefits Of spreadin' the
lite OF edercushun in the homes of the
pore, for it kin be epread 30 as not to
inturfere with the dinner hour and the
cumfurt of the domestick circul.
1t is regret that there air no woman's
club organized fer to stimerlate effeck.
shun fer the vertues of the fireside and
the duties of the household and the news
papers ort to pint out this fact, fer these
air the means by which the evil kin be
kilt and many hard workin' men git
their meals regler.
FAMERLY MAN.
We sympathize with Family Man. but
there is little hope Of his securing the re-
lief he desires. These be progressive
times and the modern woman progresses
with them, hence the "Mothers' Club"
is a natural evolution Of the advanced
thought and condition of the time. These
and kindred organizations are firmly
convinced that they have great mission
to perform, and once q band of noble
women get this idea into their heads
their mental wires become crossed and all
connection between them and such
household obligations as regular meals is
cut Of instantly. -
We would like very much to be able to
furnish Family Man with come grains of
hope and comfort, but under the circum-
stances it is impossible. He will be all
the better for realizing that there are
others in his sad company and resolving
to take his medicine with the best grace
possible. II seems to Us the only recourse
he has, all things carefully weighed and
considered, is to purchase q small oil
stove and to fry his own ham. He may
be miserable, but there is no reason why
he should not be independent.
