COL Theo. w. Goldin, q veteran Of

for many months been devoting all of
his time to war work with the ARMY
Young Mems Christian association.
He is now on tour visiting all mill
tary camps in the six states of the
Southern Military department enter
tanning the soldiers with stories of the
great West of the long ago.
Colonel Goldin has had an unusual
and picturesque career OH the frontier

several Indian campaigns, among
them the Battle Of the Big Horn"
where Custer and some five hundred
veterans went down before ten times

to remember that the great
achievements of life have been &C.
complished by men and women in
the gray Of life, not in the downy
years of youth. Let them look
for the best in everything and
everybody and do all the good
you can in all the ways you can,

college education is a valuable
education and greatly to be de-

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.

She can come to decision
without the slightest trouble OF
reasoning on it; and no sane mar
can do that.
Six Of them can talk at once
and get along frs rate land nc
two men can do that.
She can safely stick fifty pins
in her dress while he is getting
one under his thumbnail.
She is as cool as a cucumber in
half a dozen tight dresses and
skirts, while a man will fret and
fume and growl in one loose
shirt.
She can talk sweet as peaches
and cream to the woman she hates,
while two men would be punch
ing each others head before they
had exchanged ten. words.
She can appreciate kiss from
her husband seventylfive years
after the marriage ceremony is
performed.
She can 60 to church and after
wards tell you what every wo-
man had on, and in some rare
instances can give you some faint
idea what the text was.
She can walk half the night
with a colicky infant in her arms
without expressing the desire of
numbering the infant.
She can-but what's the use9
A woman can do anything or ev-
and do it well.
She can do more in a minute
than man can do in an hour and
do it better.
She can drive a man crazy for
wenty -four hours and then
bring him to a paradise in two
seconds by simply tickyling him
under the chin, apd there does
1ot live that mortal son of Adam 5

THE GRADUATE.

We all love the young graduate
who comes home and takes her
right place in her family and
seeks in pleasant and inflicted
manner to improve the home life
and teach and guide the younger
omen in that home; better is she
now able to fill her place in the
church and among her young
friends who have not had her adj
vantages; where can she find a
broader field for good work ?
Commonplace though it may ap-
pear, this doing Of ones duty en-
bodies the highest ideal of life
and character. The doing Of the
commonplace work achieves the
welfare of the world. We love
the young that does not claim to
know more than other people; it
is not right and then it is not wise
for it such a good way Of cheat
ing ourself. Sometime, other
people who have been schooled in
the university of the world, could
teach the new graduates many
things which are valuable, Of
which she has never heard. All
great truths are not always gram
matically spoken. and every
thing than can be known is not
found in books. 1t is right for
The young people to have opinions
