What kind is yours ?"

Once more the vexing question has
come up, whether there are any fe-
male angels. The Bible makes no
reference to anything of the sort and
the orthodox theological view is that
all the angels are males. You remem-
Der how Borglum the sculptor about a
dozen years ago was forced to smash
the lady angels which he had sculped
for the cathedral of St. John the Di-
vine, in New York-the reason being
that there was no scriptural warrant
for them. But progress progresses,
and now a Detroit judge has ordered
a sculptor to convert a female angel
that he had made to guard a ceme-
terry gate and make it into an np-to-
date slim female angel. The public
will stand with Detroit and against
New York on this angel issue. If there
are no female angels, few of US would
care to 60 to heaven. As a sober mat
ter, it is time to lay aside and forget
these ancient and false ideas about
the female of the species. In print
tive days the male was everything, and
the woman was considered only an off
shoot or at best the helpmeet and SER
vitor Of man. She had little or no iden-
tity of her own, and it seemed to be a
matter Of indifference whether her
soul-if she had anyways saved or
not. The prevailing conception of
heaven is an oriental and Israelitish
one-a city with golden streets, in
which naturally there would be no
women, for in the east women remain
ed indoors, or at least yelled and very
much out of sight. It has taken centu-
ries Of devotion and ~self-sacrifee for
woment o win the place they have won
in modern civilization, but it is certain
ly pleasing to find that at last it is
coming to be admitted that they have
souls and that they have at least as
good a chance to be angels as their
lords and masters have.-Pathfnder.

GARRY IT HOME"

In the effort at nationwide eeonom!
no n move viii have greater effect
provided it be Systematically and uni
versally practiced, than the move t,
eliminate the expense of special deliv
cry of commodities, that has grown t
such enormous proportions in thi.
country.
For many years now the custom ha.
been growing with the growth of the
telephone service, until in almost any
part of the country if the lady Of the
house wants a paper Of pins, or the
man of the house needs a thrasher OF
an automobile, a telephone ca. brings
n to the door as readily and as
promptly as the other,
This is peculiarly a modern practice.
Our forefathers carried orhauled home
their purchases. We, under the spur
of necessity, can and should do like
wise.
There are two angles to the propos-
ed refrom that should appeal to the
public. First, the direct saving to the
purchaser. This, in the aggregate is
bound to be enormous, as the expense
Of delivery throughout the country has
grown to huge proportions. Second, the
releasing for other and more needed
service the immense capital and equip
ment now tied up in the special deliv-
cry of merchandise. Thousands upon
thousands Of horses, wagons, autos,
trucks-to say nothing of men and
boys-are now engaged in this work,
which is to a large extent entirely
superluous. There is a vital need in
other channels for all this force, and
it should be released and made avail
able where it is so badly needed.
Among the economic reforms none
is more important. Get the Garry it
Home" spirit. YOU will profit by it,
the DEALER will profit by it, and the
country at large will be the greatest
gamer of all, as it will eliminate one
Of the most wasteful of all practices.

RUSSIA'S WEAKENING.

The weakening of Russia in front Of
the enemy wiuld be a misfortune at
any time-it is a calamity in the pres
ent crisis. 1t encourages the war par
ty at Berlin as nothing but a militia
ny success could, and at the same time
it weakens the democratic sentiment in
Germany as nothing else could. If
Russia as a republic, had won military
victories, it would have FASTENED the
overthrow Of the autocratic rule that
has converted Germany into a military
camp and made the old world a slaugh-
ter house. The situation is to be de-
plored.
A remedy should be found if posi-
ble-it would save a republic from dis
aster and us from an unexpected bur
den.
