"What ahull we do with oar glrla?" I hare
heard a good many fathers auk that question.
I doat mean rich fathers who have no anx
iety about their daughters, bat I allude to
folks In tbe middle walks of life whose
daughters have had an education and the
father has nothing else to give them,
is a poor girl V) do when the nulla ecli&a!
comes home from college. It la right bard
for her to descend from the beautiful heights
of astronomy and tbe fields, of history and
botany and the ebamben of mutio down
tbe drudgery of housekeeping and sawing and
darning and patching old ciotbea. Bat sup
pose ihe is a good dutiful girl and is willing
to do that and more, tbe question Is what
does it amount to and cant she do better.
Oantahe take hold of something that will ex
cite her ambition and interest her and make
her some money. Girls are Just human* and
they want to do something. Girls who
nbt marry and whose fathers are poor will
need some money after while when tbe rosee
begin to fade,the roses on their cheeks. Soma
are independent enough to go to millinery
and dreasmaklng, but this gives employment
to bnt a faw. Some paint flowrra and do fancy
work and sell wbat they make, but not many
have the gift of g inina in that line and ao tbe
queation still cornea np wbat can the clever
I he baa load enough to carry now and my I
I wife says I will get that money some day, she
I lias faith and ahe cheers me np when f am I
(down and that is whBt a good wife always
.'does. She believes that money earned bon-1
estly is not going to be lost.
"Wbat have yon done aboat your claim," I
aatd I. "Nothing, there ia nothing to do that
I know of. f gave tbe certificate to Mr I
James and said I have beard aboat yoar I
troubles and I thought I wonld bring yon
this and let yon manege it for yon knpw bet
ter how to do it than tbe lawyers or anybody I
else.
Weil T wish everybody had os mneb faith I
and charity as Sanford Bell, I reckor bis boy I
will get to tbe college some way and if blal
daughter will gi to rai-ing strawberries I [
think she will make tbe 800 back In two or |

country glrla do to make a l'vlng for them,
selves and feel Independent.
Not long ago f was over In eastern North
Carolina and I found the question answered
in eorae places, I found some nice well edu
cated girls cultivating (mail frnits and vege
tables for market Tney dident plow tbe
ground but they planted and hoed and weed
ed and gathered the crop. I saw an acre of
strawberries that two alatera had planted and
they made a frolic of it, that is they went at
it with a will and took a lively happy interest
in it and they gathered 4,001) quarts and said
they wonld get a tbousanl more and they
packed them in the little baakets and tha
baskets into crate* and aent them north and
thetr sales bad averaged 30 cents a quart.
' Their total expenses tor hire of help and coat
of baskets ami freight to market was fx'ou sml
this left a thousand for their work and watch
ing end constant care. Well those girls are
proud and independent Their father bad
five acrea and he was making money???a good
deal of money. I never saw a nicer btuineta
nor one so simple and sure. The land was
poor and sandy. The rows three feet apart,
when the plants get well let a plow opens i
furrow close by on each aide and this furrow
ia nearly filled with cotton seed and then tha
earth ia thrown back on tbe cotton seed, after
that the vines are mulched with pine str-w
and that Is all, I never saw vine# aa small or
berries as numerous, loountsd 240on one
plant. They laid on one another.' This vine
had beeu picked three llmei and there were
240 left Tlioy frequently picked a quart
from 3 plants and left many not ripe. The;
pick tliiSo'clock in the morning and tbe girl
averaged IS quarts by that time. They be
g???n again ax 4 in the afternoon and get IA
quarts more. When they hire pickers tbey
pay 2}j cents a quart to girls and 2 cents to
boya fur tha girl, are more careful and do not
mash the berries nor spill them and do not
eat every big nice one they come across.
But this la not all. Tm se girls have got
crop of raspberries Just behind and they will
make two or three hundred dollar*
oil' of ??? them and they ere grow,
log currants and goosebcrrle and
talkjabout going into potatoes and beans
and grapes and all that, well why not. Fruit
growing is a nice business for glrla and so in
railing vegetables. Them- glrla havo the ad
vantage of ours for the market Is nearer, but
1 have never eeen the tune that nico straw*
berries couldent bo sold.al home for 2D cents
and that will mako lota of money. And tnen
again tha exercise ia ao good for their healtli
and the occupation la so cleanly end delicate
and anils tbefr nimble and dollca'e Angara to
well. Woman was tho that gardener wo read
about, that ls:to say she was the first to pick
the fruit and 1 bavoaiways thougutaheougbt
to hare been forgiven, for her tint thought
when she found the fruit good was to give her
husbaud eome. But he like an old rascal
went and laid all the blame on her and tried
to get out of the scrape. Now there la a
chauca for our glrla to make eome money.
Let thorn try a suiall patch, aay one-fourth of
an acre. I???fsnt out in August and have n
good crop of trait next spring, ft can bo
done. 1 heard a Nashville man aay that two
S ean ago thare was no inch butlniu around
asbville as growing berries for nurtbern
markets bnt now there w*a 130 bushel* ship,
ped a xl .y from one town, the town ol Frank
lin, and they netted 2D cents a quart or six
dollars a bushel and the girls did moat of the
work. I wish alio dear creature* ware all rich
enough to live wi ih-jut work and only had to
work when they fell like it, and I never are
ladles of culture nod refinement doing drudg
ery but wnat it ahocke my humanity and I
want a society established for the prevention
oforueltr loanxele But work Is the com
mon lot for man and for woman too and I
reckon they are happier for it.
1 waa ruminating over theee things to-day
when 1 met Sanford Bell on the train. Ben-
ford, ihe old reliable conductor whom every
body knows and everybody loves, and we got
to talking about tbe tiiiita and llie crops and
when I mentioned John li. Jams* and tils
bast np Banfcml laid yea that ia mighty bad
on James and bad on tbe poor fellows who
had their money In hta bank. He bad a
thousand dollar* there he said, a thousand
dollars lb* savings of ten years and now he
had to take a new atari and bla plana and hit
hope* were broken up for be was going to
taka 200 dollara of t hat money and eaud Clif
ford to Moore's bualueia college and tbe 800
dollara waa for bia daughter wbo had been to
good and so kind to him and her motbur and
worked so willingly and faithfully at borne,
and be bad picked out a nloe little place to
buy for ber and let ber enjoy the ram* but
tbe money wet gone and the prospect was
bad, v??ry bad*
After telling me of the dark aide he bright
ened np and said "well I wont give up too
soon for Mr, Jamra felled in 1873 and he
owed me 500 dollara then and be paid it in
full with interest and nllowed me a oteminm
of 12 percent for my gold, jnst what it waa
worth when I pat my gold in there, although
it waa worth only 4 per cent premium when
he paid it back. Ha ia a good man, James

Carolina. $100,000. In the house Mr. Kellogg,
of Louisiana, attempted an expiation which I
resulted in a sharp debate in which Kellogg I
w"?? roughly handled for allowing tbe plea of I

shield him in hie recent trial. In the Kogliah-1
