YOUNG GIRLS WHO .re n ARE NOT SAFEGUARDED

Long may ye sin and long may Heaven forgive,
 But when ye least expect, in sorrow s Vengeance oft follows more heavy for delay.''
 What mother would think that her little girl twelve years old was in dan With her eye on the clock the mother
 starts her off, allowing her barely time to get to school. The young miss can waste no time if she comes home to luncheon in order to be in school again at the tap of the bell. If the child was five minutes behind her al- lotted time in getting home the mother feels that she might be anxious as to her whereabouts. But as this seldom occuH:s when the little girl is of so ten- der an age her motherly worries are not aroused; over what might never happen. There is never a time when mothers are over cauAous, especially if their girl is 8 precocious one. If little girl is enclined to be fowrda or likes to be noticed by boys, especially those older than herself, this trait should strike a note of warning in the mothers heart. The child who dotes on tT1ndling her doll in it's carriage is comparatively safe. The little. miss who is always to foe found where the grown-up boys are cannot be too carefully looked after.
 Just now a warning has been sound ed to mothers of an unusual occur renee which has just taken place in the city of churches. A girl of twelve was recently hurrying along to school with her books under her arm when
 she was accosted by a young man in an automobile riding close to the curb.
 He spoke gai1y to her. With a saucy toss of her braids she answered. He was encouraged by the smile on her lips to stop longer to chat than he should. It ended in his asking her to meet him on that same corner the following afternoon when she returned from school. He jotted down his name and address, telling her to put it in her school-book as a reminder to Joe on hand. Promising. not to tell, the girl hurried on to school. She ex- plained neither to her little mates nor to her teacher why she was late. Nor Idid she make her family the wiser. Had she confded in her mother the
 story would not have been written. The child came promptly to the rem dezvous. The man awaited her there. At my hotel we win have a nice 1it-
 tie dinner" he declared. Soon they reached their destination. The child was recognized. The man fed She was quickly returned safely to her parents who were searching the city for her. There was not a policeman who was not notified of the little girl who, they declared, was lost, strayed or stolen. The fattery of being called the prettiest girl he had ever seen had turned her foolish little head She

Really Removes Hair ! Roots, or Costs Nothing (Phelactinc, the New Wonder
 WOrI<er) t'

Without doubt the greatest thing yet discovered for r-disfigured womankind is the wonderful phelac- tine method. It has none of the dis advantages of electrolysis or depilaa tories and, best of all, it removes tiie hairs entire, roots and all! It does this instantly, leaving the skin sso smooth and soft that no one can tell the user was ever the possessor of a moustache or other hairy growth. s9
 Phelactine is non-odorous, norf- irritating, and so harmless a child could eat it without any ill-effect. A stick of this remarkable substance, accompanied by simple instructions, can be obtained at any drugstore, and its price will be refunded upon request in case of dissatisfaction. But what woman would not be satisfied and de- lighted after seeing those ugly hairs come out-including the roots-witfi her own eyes? "

Meriuether LelOis

I have received word from Paris that MT. Broughton, one of the companions of Captain Vancouver, went up the Columbia river 100 miles in December, 1792. He stop ped at point he named Vancouver. Here the river Columbia is still a quarter of a mile wide From this point Mount Hood is seen about twenty leagues distant, which Is probably a dependency of the Stony mountains.

 This was the last word Meriwether Lewis received from his chief. As the latter finished it he sat looking out of the window toward that west which meant so much to him.
 He did not at first note the interrup- ton of his reverie. Long ago he had made public his announcement that the time of Thomas Jefferson belong ed to the public and that he might be seen at any time by any man. He hesitated now but moment, there fore, when old Henry his faithful black, threw open the door and stated simply that there was "a lady wantin' to see Mistah Jerson."
 "Who is she, Henry?' inquired the ys "I am somewhat busy today"
 "'Tain't no dirrence, she say. She Bho'ly want see Mistah Jef'son."
 The tired old man smiled and shrug- ged his shoulders A moment later the persistent caller was ushered into the office of the nations chief execu- tive. He rose cOurteously to meet her.
 It was Theodosia Aston, whom he had known from her childhood. MT Jefferson greeted her with his hand outstretched and, her arm still in his led her to seat.

 "Nor was I.''

How old should a girl be to permit boys to take her home from church? :? Should girl make up for company, her boy cousins? What does my writ ing signify" .-..-.,. .-..-.----,.
 Flirting is not to be tolerated by either sex. It bodes i'll and those en- gagged in this bold way will have deep cause to repent the folly. A girls age to have company from church should be as her parents or kin count and permit. If relatives encourage boy cousins company it is propert.
