FIRST WOMAN MISSIONARY

The first woman to gain renOwn
as a missionary in foreign lands was
Ann Hasseltine JudsOn, who was born
in Bradford, Mass, 1877 years ago to-
day. In 1912 she became the bride
of Rev. Adoniram Judson, a Baptist
missionary, and a few days later the
couple embarked for Calcutta. From
there they went to Rangoon, in the
Burman empire, Ito begin their mis-
sionary labors among the natives.
Their devotion aroused a missi onary
spirit among American Baptists, and
in 1914 the organization later called
the American Baptist Missionary I'm
ion was launched in Philadelphia
and Immediately appointed Mr.. and
Mrs. Judson its first missionaries. Mrs
Judson mastered the native language
before her husband, and was his able
assistant. 1t was not until 1919 that
the first native convert was baptized
and the number reached ten the fol-
lowing year. In 1922 Mrs. Judson
visited the United States and pub
lished her History of the Burman
Mission" and by personal appeals
largely increased missionary contri-
buttons. In 1928 she returned to Ran
COON. A war soon broke out, and
UOlH NIL anu MIS-. y uOSOn were I'M
prisoned, charged with aiding the
English. Mrs. Judson was soon re-
leased, and she became an angel of
mercy to the white men, including her
husband, confined in the terrible
death prison." They were at length
rescued by the British, but Mrs Jud-
son soon isuccumbed to the effects of
the terrors to which she had been
subjected.

q parent try to influence a daughter to

should she interfere in the girls heart
affair if she is eighteen and compe-
tent to think for herself and choose
accordingly? Last, but not least,
should a young man always be thank
ed for a present he has given
First love has often been found to
be the best and truest of many mems
and womens lives. There is a di-
versity of opinion regarding the mar
riage of first cousins. Many would
be authorities do not favor marriage
with one so closely related. A parent
has the future happiness of her child
at heart and surely would mot urge
a union which would mean unhappi-
ness for her. A girl should never get
beyond being Influenced by her moth
er's desires. A young man should al
ways be thanked courteously for a
gift.

ST. THOMAS DAY.

In former times there were many
quaint customs connected with ST.
Thomas Day, the twenty-first Of De-
ce1Jiber, but most OF these have now
died out In the old "Merrie Eng
land" the children and young people
Of the humber classes we're licensed
by custom to go begging at the homes
Of the well-to-do and the rich. This
custom was called going gooding'
or going a corning" and was usual
lys accompanied by a general merry
making and the singing Of songs suit
ed to the occasion. In some remote
parts, of England the poor families
are still. permitted to make, the rounds
in quest Of aims on st. Thomas Day.
but 1t has now become deadly seri-
GUS business, and not the gay affair
Of former times when youngsters
went about singing:
'e'Wassail, wassail, through the town,
if you've got any apples throw
them -
Up with the stocking, down with the
shoe. If you've got no apples
down., money will do;
The jug is white and the ale is brown
this is the best house in town. -

FRIENDS WHO ASK ADVICE.

"The fault was grave! I might have
known
What far too soon, alas! 1 learned
The heart can bnd itself alone,
And faith may oft be unreturned."
There is no sentiment in this world
more eagerly sought and longed for
than friendship which is supposed to
be true and deep. 1t is surprising to
find how many kinds of so-called
friendships one may meet with. Wo-
men expect much Of those to whom
they extend their confidence. Ask any
woman what she expects Of a woman
friend and she will reply unhesitat-
lingly, lone who shows an interest in
me, and to whom / can go for con-
ISOLATION if I am troubled or dispirited;
one who is sure to cheer me up, a
woman who will stand by me through
thick and thin, if I meet with reverses
as we'll as success"
But there are some friendships
bought too dearly, friendships that in
time turn condolences into fear, not
to say alarm All friendships between
women are delightful in the begin
ming Some are honest, others are
| cloven-footed. No foe is so mean as
| the time friend. When woman
| has unfolded her heart secrets to an
other woman-grave family secrets
which no power on earth should have
| wrenched from her bosom-she finds
too late that the friendship which she
thought was founded on a rock was
built upon the quicksands. She is
forever in her power. The meanest
advantage such a person can take of
| = III; -
her secret the basis of borrowing
money from her. The victim fears to
refuse. If there were no obligations
between them, 1.-THE friend" would ask
the favor hesitatingly If the whip
handle has been placed in her hands,
she forever holds the weapon over the
other woman's head. The favor she
asks, or rather demands, grows in
proportion to the other woman's fear.
| In burst of confidence, a woman
once told an intimate friend that her
husband had been accused Of a crime,
but as it could not be proved against
him he was set free. They had sold
all their effects and journeyed over a
thousand miles east to begin life anew.
Thus burst Of confidence cost the wife
every cent she could make for years,
until by accident the real cu1prit was
arrested in the far West and all tar
Irish was removed from the uame of
| the man who was suffering long from
F., false accusations.
There should be limit between the
closest of friendships INDUCED in by
women. Borrowing should not be en-
| couraged unless it is unavoida BILE. A
prOud-spirited woman will go without
before she will ask for any article she
wishes to obtain. Certainly she should
be chary about borrowing money No
housewife should borrow food from
neighbors to entertain dinner guests
rowing table, chairs, dishes and best
nappery. Never borrow even from
your closest friend

that they should be done quickly,

improve it very much. Currant jelly

IT'S THE MAN; NOT HIS BUSINESS

Emily H. T. writes: "I am a young
woman of twenty-four, we'll liked in

riodical sprees, and an undertaken a
little older. who is a home man, own

TEST MOTORCYCLES.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 22.-What

markable speed and efficiency tests
Of motorcycles ever held were the
acceptance trials conducted on the San
Fernando road yesterday by the Los
Angeles Police Department, of the 81
new 1916 Indians recently ordered.
Before being finally approved and
accepted by the Police Department
every one of the machines had to show
a speed of rs miles per hour, accord
ing to the terms Of the guarantee I'M
der which the order was given. The
authorities reserved the right to re-
ject any machine which in their
opinion in any way failed to come up
to the specified standard.
Following the speed tests, in which
all machines rambled we'll in excess
of requirements, without a single adj
justment being necessary, they were
infinitely inspected for condition of
adjustment of both machine and equip
ment. In every instance they were
found absolutely 0. K, and Immediate

total figures, as the dealers do not
care to "tip their mitts."
We can say, however, that one deal
er disposed Of 900 cars in the Minot
territory, valuation $795, 900. Another
sold 217 cars for $146,5OO; another,
268 cars for $500, 900, and still anoth-
er disposed Of 1863 cars for 1906, 1856.
Other dealers made fine records but
they were all handicapped in not get
ting enough cars to meet the demand.
This year, the dealers will sell fully
$4,000, 900 worth Of cars if they dispose
of all that they have contracted for.
One concern has contracted for 1900
cars, valued at $1,000, 100000. Another
will handle 400 cars valued at $751;
900. Another, 600 cars valued at
$5OO,OOO.OO. We would like to give
specific figures, but dealers won't let
US. Suffice to say, however, that a
tremendous automobile business will
be done in Minot this year, and don't
you forget it.
