Hoys lmvo ninny ways of nirn-
’"g money for their education, but
willi girls it is more difficult. A
wrilt'r in the Designer for Novem
ber tells this story of how 11 West-
j ern girl made the money to give
j her a good education. The old
1 proverb, “Where there's a will,
j there s a way," still holds true:
‘AVe had in our Western town a
little girl whose ambition was to
find some*way_of making money,
I SO that she might earn her own
living, and also help her parents.
\\ hen site was about ten venrs of
age, she began selling books and
toilet articles during vacation ; in
this way she would earn enough
to furnish her books and clothes
for the next school year. When
about twelve years old she left her
home and went to a' nearby City,
j where she secured a place as nurse
i for some little children, returning
in the fall ready tor school, and
: with a neat little sum of money
| all her own. The next summer
| she secured a place with more
j wages where she stayed over a
: year, but came borne the follows
ing summer in time to enter'
school. She then remained in
school until she thought she had
sufficient education to enter a
business college, which she did,
and after completing that was able
to pay her tuition up in full at the
close of her course. While going
t > the business college she worked,
mornings and evenings, in a real
estate office to earn enough to pay
her board. She is now holding a
responsible place as stenographer
with a large firm in the city. She
is a refined, Christian young girl,
loved and admired by all who
know her.
Make a k riend of Your Wile,

If a man has a good wife lie has
flic best friend it is possible to
have. “A man’s best friend,” says
Hu I wer Lytton, “is a wife of good
sense and good heart, whom he
loves and who loves him.” In wo
man there is at once a subtle
delicacy of tact, and a plain s mild
ness of judgment, which are rare
ly combined to an equal degree in
a man. A woman, if she be really
your friend, will have a sensitive
regard for your character, honor,
repute. She will seldom counsel
you to do a shabby thing, for a
woman always desires to tie proud
of you. At the same time her
constitutional timidy makes her
more cautious than your male
friend. She, therefore, seldom
counsels you to do an imprudent
deed. A wifo best shows her
lriendliness by clipping off from
her husband's moral nature little
twigs that are growing in the
wrong direction. If he says any
thing silly she will affectionately
fell him so. If he declares that he
"’ill do something absurd, she will
find means to prevent his doing so.

hid von ever stop to think what
degree of greatness constitutes
earthly i mmo rtft|ity? Our mind
"as directed in that channel nf
thought while reading an inter
dew recently had with a member
°t the British Parliament, now
visiting in America. “The one
'Aject that has most impressed me
during, my tour of the United
fates is the Washington Motm-
'iient, said i ie< “Never in any
a, ‘1 have I seen a memorial the
d^ot this. Its grandeur and
stateliness fitly symbolize the il-
ustrious man of whom all nations
lllvo heard. What especially
abused my admiration is that not
a single letter has been carved up-

, Think of it, a man so great that
a shaft rock, erected by his fellow-
man, high enough to pierce the
| clouds, and bearing no words in
dicating a name nr achievement,
; sh niId suggest lhe man through
all time. Washington’s glory is
seeniv for the ages to come. His
memory needed no pile of inde
structible'stone to remind the
world of his greatness. But the
memorial stands there on the
banks of the Potomac that he who
looks upon it may be inspired to
love of country and an emulation
of Washington is patriotism. The
shaft is bare but the inscription is
written on every liberty loving
heart.
Washington was a farmer and
went from his farm to assume
honors bestowed by his fellow
countrymen, but when wearied
willi public life the great man
sought again retirement in the
quiet or rural retreat where his
great soul could be in touch with
the glory of nature.—American
Farmer.
Few men possessed more tact
and wit when on the hustings
I than did Alexander 11. Stevens of
Georgia, says the Nashville Bun-
1 ner. Though small in size, he
had a wonderfully prolific brain
; and was regarded as an except ion-
: ally brilliant orator. A Georgian
j tells this story:
j “Mr. Stephens was slated for a
! joint debate with Banco Wright
during a presidential campaign
( Wright, by way of a tale, said
: that Stephens had said he could
j eat himself (Wright) for breakfast,
Ben Hill for dinner, and Bob
Toombs for supper.
“Mr. Stephens possessed very
liHle storage ronyi in his stomach,
and when it came to his turn to
reply ho said that he denied that
he had made any such assertion.
‘If I had contemplated any such
feast,’ said Mr. Stephens, ‘I cer
tainly would have changed the
■ the order. I would have taken Ben
Hill for breakfast, Bob Toombs
for dinner, and my friend Ranee
Wright for supper. My mother
taught me from earliest infancy
10 eat a light supper, and so I
would have tipped off with
Wright.’
“The answer completely snuffed
out the good impression Col.
Wright had made.”
| A town that never has anything
to do in a public way is on the
road to the cemetery. Any citi
zen who will do notiVing for his
, town is helping to dig the grave.
A man who will enss his town fur
nishes the coffin. The one who
is so Selfish as to have no time
from his business to give to the
city affairs is making the shroud.
1 he merchant who will not adver
tise is driving the hearse. The
man who is pulling back from
public enterprises is throwing-
i bouquets on the giave. A man
who is so stingy and selfish as to
i be always howling hard times
I preaches the funeral and sings the
i doxology, and thus the town lies
buried free from sorrow and care

It is said that there a 40,000
men in New York City idle and
hungry and wanting work. At
the same time a woman, writing
’ from Stamford, Conn., says that
her apples are retting on the
ground because she can’t get any
body to pick them up, that she
has corn Co cut, potatoes to dig
and wood to cut, but she cannot
get help anywhere in her vicinity.
She further says that all the far
mers in her part of the slate are
in need of help. Evidently state
employment bureaus aie needed
to lirmg together these two ex
tremes.—Ex.

Declai ing that the cotton crop
is a record-breaker and that time*}
in the South are looking mighty
good, the Birmingham News says:
“The Southern banks are full of
| money, and the Southern railroads
; are earning good dividends. The
| Southern cotton mills are better
off than those of the North, and
the Southern farmers are free of
i debt, with a large cotton crop at
good prices. No part of the coun
try is so well off today as the
South.”
In some parts of the Slate the
teachers are not observing the law
as to the use of the books adoptftd
; some months ago by the State
school book commission. In some
sections the books of one publish
er have been substituted for the
books of another publisher. The
substitution of a book is contrary
to law and the teachers guilty will
be punished by being required to
forfeit all the public morn s’ coin
ing co the school. Likewi-e comi
ties which allow the substitution
of books will forfeit all money
coining to that county from ihe

wireless telegraphy outfits. It is
said that smugglers have been
very expert in landing Chinese, in

We not only wish to make our
' own yard and home beautiful, but
we. desire 1 liat our neighbor shall
do likewise. To this end thmv is
no belli r idea than to form an im
provement association in the
neighborhood. Many of our neigh
bors who have taken no interest in
planting trees and vines and other
wise making their homes beautiful
will join such an association and
become enthusiastic members.
Prizes should be offered by the as
soeiation for the Dost kept yard,
for t he best grown vines and small
fruits, for children’s gardens, (low
er beds, etc. Jn many localities,
the people need to lie aroused, and
the result of work of this kind
will show marked improvement,
not only outwardly, but also in
the character. One energetic man
or woman, who will take the
initiative in an association of this
kind, will find his efforts well re
ward. -American Farm.
A little girl wrote the following
essay on “Boys; “Boys are men
j that have not got as big n.s their
| Papas, and girls are women that
j "'ll be ladies by-and-by. When
God looked at Adam ho said to
himself: Well, 1 think I can do
better if I try again,'’ and he made
Eve. Boys are a trouble. They
wear out everything but soap. If
I had my way the world would ho
gills and the rest dolls. My papa
is so nice that lie must have been
a girl when he was a little boy.
