The Austin Statesman, solicit
ous for the young man, sounds
this warning:
“Of course she must be pretty,
•with soft, mellow eyes (not ripe)
nod a forn that would put to
shame the graces of a Venus: Her
voice should be as low as (he coo
ing of $ dove, and her hair must
he—oh well, an} 7 old color, just so
it’s her own. When she dances
her dainty feet should caress the
floor only in the elevated points,
nnd when she sings, mocking birds
ought to stop their carols and lis
ten. That’s the kind of a girl you
ought to marry, but oh, young
man! be sure that these are not-
her ouly recommendations. Above
all things, find out before propos
ing whether or not her mother gets
up and cooks breakfast every
morning while vonr angel is snugly
tucked in bed, running the chro
matic scale in a nasal solo just
loud enough to gently jar tlie glass
in the windows. Beauty is always
an admirable qualification, hut
after the courting is done, after
the pars n has finished, after the
people have gone, you’ll find that
the romance is ended, you'll dis
• cover what married life means,
and when your !< veflights arc over
you’ll drift back to hae m and

Jerome llall Raymond, who lias
just, been called to the presidency
of tho new Toledo University, be
gan life as a newsboy.
His capital was 1 cent borrow
ed from his sister, lie didn't hide
his one cent in a napkin after the
manner of the unprofitable servant.
He made it grow into a bank ac
count.
His mother was a good woman
who kept him from the vicious
habits of some of the street boys.
He would not (iglil unless some
fellow made the first attack or
pitched onto a smaller boy. Then
lie would battle like a wildcat.
The boy went to night school,
and at the age of 1 ! was an export
stenographer and typewriter. To
day the fingers of his right hand
aro slightly twisted. That came
from using a pencil before his
young bones hardened.
At 18 he entered college at
Eyanston. Mind you, he had no
father and his mother was an in-
yalid. He took the full coune
and cared for his mother and sis
ter—and paid for home in the
meantime!
That makes you like Jerome 11.
Raymond.
He graduated with honors, tak
ing the oratory prize and some
others. He became the valued
secretary of the late Francos E.
Willard. Then President Harper
offered him a $3,000 professorship
in Chicago University. Now he
has been elected to organize a bran
new university.
It is the old story.”
They all read nearly alike: Hum
ble beginnings integrity—hard
work keeping at—success.
In the bright lexicon of youth
there is—or ought to bo—no such
word as “fail.”

The convicts serving at hard
labor in the state prison at Jack-
son, Mich., publish a newspaper
under the title Broaden Out. The
proprietary company which con
trols this unique tittle newspaper
and also the editorial and report-
torial staff which performs the
work are by long odds the largest
of any newspaper in this country,
j for. all the 700 convicts in tho
j prison share its profits, and all
j are privileged to contribute to its
| columns. Nearly all tho convicts, ;
as well as many ex-convicts and
! other individuals throughout
! Michigan, aro on its subscription
1 rolls at the rateof $1 for one year,
| 50 cents for six months and 5
j cents for single copies. As the
| convicts own tho printing plant
j unincumbered and contribute la-
| bor without wages, the profits of
1 their journalistic institution are
j largo.
j The parent who flics to the rod
to correct every trifling fault or
j misdemeanor will have no influ
ence with her children when they
are too old to be governed by
force. A child should never be
struck in anger. A box on the
chr may rupture tho membrane
that forms the drum, and cause
permanent deafness. A hasty
blow may do mischief that years
of repentance cannot undo. Pun
ishment is for discipline, not for
revenge. It is to teach the child
to avoid evil and do right. It
should never bo a vent for tho
all gry passions of the mother
love, patience and firmness are
the instruments she must use to
mold her child’s character. Pun
ishment is a means to an end; let
her pray for grace to use it wisely.
For Rattlesnake Bite.
Editor Constitution:—I am a
fnllblooded Creek Indian, and a
subscriber to your paper. . I want
to give you a remedy for rattle
snake bites. A rattlesnake bite
can be cured by any one if lie
knows how. 1 believe 1 read about
more pooplo getting hit and dying
from the bite in the Constitution
than in any paper. As you live
in the heart of tho south you can
do lots of good by giving tho pub
lic tho benefit of the remedy. In
the first place an Indian never
I dies from the bite of a rattler, and
j an Indian never dies from the
f bite of a mad dog. You will see
! the greatest curiosity on earth if
I you see an Indian with rabies,
j They have a remedy for both..
| This is the remedy:
“Let the snake go about hin
business, Run to the house, get
an onion about two inches in di
ameter, about three cents worth
of tobacco. Then get a table-
spoonful of salt, cul the tobacco
up pretty fine with a knife, mix
the tobacco and salt till it is well
mixed. It will make a poultice.
I Place this on the wound. Make
i a new poultice every six hours or
twelve, and it will not even swell,
i Apply as soon as possibly.”
Please excuse this, but an In-
j dian likes to talk, lienee this long
I letter. CJ11 as. Gibson.

Mothers in The Kitchen.
Mother never for one moment
think your doing is unimportant,
oven if much of your time is pass
ed in the kitchen. The noblest
and the wisest liye by eating, non-
poetic and common as it may
seem. Think, tired housewife,
not how your piano -trained fin
gers are becoming stiff, awkward
and Hushed from moulding the
“staff of life,” but consider wlmt
the members of your “sweet
home” are accomplishing. For
instance, the husband is, perhaps,
a minister of tho gospel, winning
souls to Jesus. Your son is tak
ing high rank in college and your
lovely daughter is to go as a mis- ]
sionary, and all of them derive
strength of mind, frame and mus
cle from “mother’s table,” Are
you not doing something indis-
pensible? Your kitchen efforts
help run all the machinery of
life. What would become of
“home, sweet homo” if in discour
agement, the mothers and homo j
girls ceased their doings? Out of j
the well kept homes come the no- j
blest of our land.
Two New York newspaper cor- !
respondents have attracted a great !
deal of attention recently on their
way from New York to St. Louis
in an automobile. They went to
prepare a map of the most direct
route for the use of a large body
of automobilists who will go to
the world’s fair in that way. It is ,
expected that about 1,500 ma ;
chines with at least 5,000 people 1
will make the trip over tho route
which they will lay out. The j
touring party expects to leave
New York July 25 and to arrive in
St. Louis Aug. 10. They will ful
low a regular schedule, all the :
stops having been arranged by tho :
mapmakera.
False teeth mad. of paper aro in
use in Germany, and arc reputed
to lie. highly satisfactory. These
paper teeth have several advan
tages over (he ordinary ones of
porcelain or mineral composition.
They are very cheap, do not break

or cold, nor has the moisture of
the mouth any injurious effect
upon them.

The Boy Essayist.
The hoy was nearing the time of
Ills graduation from the high
school. Ho was a favorite in the
school, says the Lewiston Journal,
but lie had taken higher rank ou
tlie baseball and football -fields
than he had in the classroom, and
this was when he began to bo sor
ry. The “exercises' of gradua
tion day loomed large before him.
He v r as down for an essay. ll
looked more formidable - than any
obstacle lie had ever encountered
on the athletic field, and the near
er the day came the larger it look
ed.
There was a Harvard man stay
ing in the villago at tho time, and
to him, finally, the young athlete
went and besought his help in tho
writing of the essay. Tho uni
vei ity man was amused, but he
concealed his emotions.
‘ Well,” I10 said, ‘a graduation
essay is a lossy piece of work. I
have not don< much writing lately,
and 1 hardly feel like tackling
such a job. The boy’s face fell.
"Still,” the Harvard man added,
“I don’t know—perhaps—1 sup
pose you have picked out the subs
jeet you want to write about?”
“Yes,” answered the young
athlete, “the subject is ‘Self-Re
liance.’ ' ’
Curious Cullings.

were brothers and the third one of
their lifelong chums.
A divorced Canadian wife
claims copyright of her former
husband’s name,’ and a Toronto

against its use by the new wife
whom he married in Dakota.
The dog of John Looker at Dan
bury, Conn., was troubled by (leas
and was kept m the cellar. Try
ing to free himself ho tunneled
under the chimney, which was
upset, and the house took fire.
As an advertisement of its

How time Hies! It has been a
little better than six years sinco
Santiago fell and Sliaftor made tho
buckboard famous in military his
tory, says the Savannah News,
Six years since the swords flashed
on Kettle Hill, and the country
was electrified by stories of the
magnificent battle of Sail Juau.
And the military glory of Roose
