Home and Mother are said to be the dearest and most treasured words in the English larguage. A noted College President says: "Our young people, in the schools of to day learn too much and know too little." lie was not far from the truth. Thpre is too much theoretical education to-day and not enough of the practical. One hundred years a go we were told to do the best we cou.d and he satisfied he causes "Angels could do no more." Now we realize more than ever that, an ounce of "get there" is worth at whole on of effort. The man or woman who can "do" i the one who succeeds. --, During -Miss Stafford's visit at Chemawa she rganizfd the Girls1 Branch of the Y. AV. V. A. of which forty, (ije Girls are nov:. members. Tl, girls are 'most ly unde fif teen. Irene Campbell was elected presi dent, Eva woods vice-president, Ethel Par- rish Secretary and Myrtle Sperry Treasur er, Mary Juhrs was - appointed organist. The girls met in the girls' reading room on Sunday afternoon from two until three and had a very enteresting meeting. Honor, fame, public applause, may be sought by man; but, as for woman, let knowledge be her garment, virtue her girdle and pity a crown about her bead. This is her appropriate monopoly; and, thus equipped, she will claim no station above that which Heaven designed for her. nor will she hesitate to lend her band, in cheer fulness, to the vaiious household duties which are emphatically assigned to her. Graceful she may lie, in the mazy dance; lovely, when her hand flings apon the air sweet notes of music ; fair, when the bay entwines her brow; but, lovelier, fairer, and more graceful, is she, when, with meek - eye and cheerful heart, she plies the home ly task, desiring no reward save an approv ing conscience. no praise, save the smiles that beam from her own fireside. The reputation of a borrower for int egrity and reliability lias more to do with giving credit.than his mere ability to pay. It is interesting and ins'rnctive to note the difference in the ability of young men starting out on their c-ireeis t gain confid ence. Of two you'll men who have bad equal advantages of opportunity and education; who, apparently, possess equal business ability ; and who start, out in the same city undi-r practieul'y like conditions, one will rapidly gain credit at hanks and jobbing houses, while the other cannot get. any foothold whatever. People se'm to be afraid to trust him, not because he is vicious or dissipated, hut because they are not certain of his integrity. Tbev do not. feel that he can be depended upon under all circumstances. Unlike theotberyoiini! man, he has not cultivated the one thi"? upon which all credits is b-.sed, a charac'C above suspicion, a reputation without reproach. '
