Bush's criticism-Which is that 1 did
not say what he asserts 1 said, or any
thing remotely resembling it Anyone

which he refers may see for himself.

Five years on ranches in Texas. Ari-

into daily contact with them; and that
same five years with COW outfits is

exception

]. HOME IS
 ASSURED BEYOND
 ROOM FOR DOUBT
Location Not Yet Selected. But Will Be in Short
 Time.

Although the total amount subscrib- ed or donated for the home for girls to be provided by the Y. w. c, L.. has not be en given out, the ladies say that the home is assured. The location has not been selected, but the main thing Is the home, and they are very san guinc on that score. The fund is grad ually increasing and heiy will con tinun their campaign this week, as they have been considerably encour- aged within the last 24 hours. Indeed. the encouragement was greater yes terday than on any cay during the campaign. This has quickened the ardor of the members of the league and they have every reason to believe that their efforts will be crowned with a glorious success.
 Another announcement made yes terday was to the effect that the list of contributors to the fund will be published this week. Attention has been called to the fact that the home is for girls who need home where they will have every care and atten- tion that is given the girls in their own home, protection which they have every right to expect in city of God-fearing people. and every dol lar received for the purpose will be expended here at home.
 A matron who understands girls and housekeeping will be placed in complete charge. Officers will be elected and board of directors ap- pointed, through whom every expen- diture will be made, as the institution will be governed and administered in practical way, go that tho best re- suits can be attained. There will be no attempt to clear profits on the investment, as the aim is to pro vide q suitable place for the girls to live between the hours of their em- ploylnent, where they can retain thei" self-respect, and if it becomes self sustaining, the members of the league will be satisfied. Sirilar institutions in othtr cities have been established by philanthropsts, or endowed by them, and maintained in a manner that reflects credit upon the entire community.
 The ladies have seen the need of home and their hearts have warm ed with the desire to establish it as soon as possible. They are delighted with the encouragem.'n they are re- ceiving and will work without ceas- ing rrtil it is established. :
