yards, where they gave fictitious
names, but admitted they came from

they were placed In the caboose of a
frleght train bound for New York.

Respect for Parents.
If the girl who speaks disrespect
fully to her motiher only knew the Im
pression Khe creates on outsiders sho
would change her tactics.
The false pride that mnkes girl
ashamed of the hard-working mother
and father should bo strangled a iu
birtih.
Many girls who really love their
parents grow Into the habit of think
ing them old-fashioned and ignorant.
The American girl is the best girl In
the world, hut she Is Just a trifle too
Independent an, ovaller In her treat
ment of her elders.
Nothing Is more beautiful than tht
tender respect and deference shown
by youth to age. and It Is a great
Phame for the American girl to let
her charms bo marred by this one
blot.
There Is nothing that so prejudices
people against a girl as seeing her by
word, look or deed show tho fcll&luijbt
disrespect to her parents.
Bit of Advice to Women.
Don't pick out a man for a husband
simply because you love him. Thu
most important thing Is whether ho
loves you. A woman who lovea her
husband better than ho dots her l.i a
doormat on which he treads. If he
loves her bettor than she does him.
he looks up to her as a goddess and
spendK his life trying to win her
favor.
A too adoring wife bores a man
with her affection, but no woman ever
had enough love given her to satlffy
her, and tho more affection the man
lavishes UKn her the stronger tho
claim he establishes. After marriage
a thousand things draw a woman's
heart to hor husband; a thousan I
things estrange him from her. Wo
