YOUNG MANS RESPONSE. -

IOONG MAN = NEST OlNOE' - III
answer to an appeal from a young
mother who possibly fell by the way
side, this article is rendered.
Any young man of normal mind
and body, having a conscience with
any respect for motherhood would
never condemn a girl who, in her in
nocence, was tempted and fell, but
has tried to rectify herself.
Why should any one delve into a
girls past? Take her for what she
is, not for what she was.
How many people look into a
mans past to see if he has fallen or
not? Very few, unless his past is
written on his face.
The average girl figures that once
she has fallen there is no hope. She
is wrong. Her hope and the hope of
every young woman who falls lies in
her ability to prevent the same from
occurring again and to the best Of
her ability to live it down, to forget
it. In my opinion any man or wom-
an who would cast a blot on a girls
good name because Of a mistake is
lower than the lowest deTelct on the
face of Gods Universe.-M. E. B.

for the country he is old enough to vote
for it. The widows OF our soldier dead
should vote
There will be nothing vindictivc or jim

simply locking the door against burglars.
