Our Girls.
They are just two things that wiz
keep girls straight at the age when
they begin TO think OF longer dresses,
and beaux. One Is plain clothes and the
other IN home duties. The girls we see
making fools OF themselves are almost
Invariably over-drcssed. They wear
buds that women OF thirty should hes
Ilntc about wearing.
A little girl with too many and too
costly clothes on her back gets self
conscious and vain and loves admira-
tIon--nnd you grown ups know the
next step. A simple. pure hearted girl
who has place In a home, home work
and home duties. has her heart there,
and no boy can steal H. Even when
maturity comes. and real man comes,
win such n girl leave home. and then
only after a heart rending- But girl
who Is nj home only at the table and
late bed time won't love that home.
Work makes things sacred. The child
whose home memories are not hallow-
ed BY work. who IS not needed and
docs not feel the need. viii not love
home. And II she does not love the
home OF her girihood. she will love no
other.
The mothers OF this town who are
responsible for the girls who cad on
the streets should stop and think what
they are doing. These girls are no lon
ger children. They are nj an impress

Impressions come from--from the rim
IAN OF the streets. or from home? II iH
Tor the mothers OF this town TO settle
the question.

his talk his mental faculties were not
AZ well developed as his mustache.
During our brief stay upon earth we
have seen many just such young men
cold in death. We haye seen the atheist

oonalrnod 10 their last resting place
fhev have all been carried through the
doors OF n church and had prayers said
ovcr them. This young man could scon
