WE MIGHT TAKE A CHANCE

Grace Wilcox, in Los Angeles Tribune, Says, Girls go to Alaska.
 Where husbands ale plentiful, in al sizes ages and colors.
 But she did not say how to get there. As walking is bad, and those of legal age can not be sent by parcel post, so there you be-
 Grace Says there is one thing men do not know, and that is, that women are adventures" Far from it Grace; we know only too we'll that they are, that is why so many of us chose this bleak and barren Northland for peace on earth and thereafter
 Personally we have had all the uncertaity taken out of us by real solid experience. For twenty years we built the fires, stayed at home nights and looked after the flock while our better half was out preaching women's suffrage or attending pink tea.
 What has this adventurous woman done for man, but to bring him on earth, toy with his affections few short years, then kick him out into this cold inhospitable world to take care of himself?
 No one to darn his socks CT half sole his trousers, no one to soothe h.s acheing head after a night out, and no one~to hand his pay check to.
 No! No! Grace, No more for ours! T. but f you should send consignment o{ muscular femininity to our shores, am sure there they will be greeted with hearty welcome. And there will be less sour dough lvekets at half mast.

On Tuesday evning at 1880 in the
Sunday School room, the newly ap-
pointed superintendent OF the Stand
ard Bearers Of the First NJ. E. church,
Mrs. Hugh Wilson, met with several
young ladies and outlined plans for
the years work.
The membership heretofore has
been composed Of the younger girls
OF the church, but it was decided at
this meeting to change the name of
the organization from the Standard
Bearers to the Young Women's For
eign Missionary Society and include
ali young women Of the church who
wished to join and therefore increase
the membership and broaden the scope
of their work.
At 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon in
the church parlor, the young ladies
will meet and complete the organiZa-
tion and it is hoped that there will be
good attendance Of both old and new
members.
Tho work promises to be very in
teresting with Mrs. Wilson as leader,
as she has had broad experience as a
worker in both the homo and foreign
fields and she is planning to take up
some special work with the help OF
the Young ladies'.

mo Serious Damage Was
Done by Their Sudden
Flooding.
.26.5 EEET HIGHEST HERE.
Traction Company And the
Steam Roads Were Not
Embarrassed.

The Monongahela river has fallen
considerably since 1t reached highest
stage yesterday afternoon. At one
o'clock yesterday afternoon through
out this section the waters began to
subside and as far up as Buckhannon
and Weston the streams became less
troublesome.
The pump station here was reached
but the pumps managed to escape the
water. At noon today the river here
was but 90 feet six inches. Buffalo
Creek and Coal Run are still out Of
their banks. but have gone down sew
eral feet since noon yesterday.
The surface Of the Monongahela has
cleared Of debris and logs, the speed
of the river being about five miles an
hour today. The highest point reach
cd was 26 feet inches.
At Grafton there is no longer danger
OF the power plant and water works
being inundated Clarl;sburg's water
plant was still $50 feet from the stream
when the West Fork was at its height
yesterday.
The Monongahela Traction line at
many points appeared to be in dan
ger yesterday but they escaped except
at Weston where the Shadybrook
bridge was covered and the tracks
near it for a short distance. The
Clarksburg. Weston cars were run to
Shadybrook and from there to Weston
the passengers walked, the walk be-
ing about a mile.
Trees, sticks and debris of all kind
were found along the Traction com$
pany's line all day yesterday but not
enough had gathered in any. ore place
to cause any trouble.
The steam roads entering Fatrnont
did not suffer from the effects Of the
rain.
