Mrs. Leslie M. Shaw is the first gov
unor's wife in lowa who was bom iu the
Hawke.ve State anj has iived there al

Hud a tended a seminary in Lyons. Her
maiden name was Miss Alice Creshaw.
In Ksi ! she went to Denison to visit a
marri-d sister. The future governor was
■uperntendent *>f the Methodist Sunday
school in I Unison. Miss Creshaw also
was ii!t> esied iu Sunday school work,
and Uiiu th y saw much of each other.

and both continued to teach in the Sun
day school until 1 when the governor
began his first term at the statehouse.
Mrs. Shaw is distinctly a home woman.
Her tastes are domestic, and she delights
in cookery and housekeeping in all its
phases She takes much pride iu her
three children. Enid, Earl and Erma.
The Girl's Allowance.
The question of an allowance for the
daughter of the household is one that is
constantly being discussed. It seems to
be pretty generally accepted that it is a
good idea, and teaches a girl the vaiuu
and use of money. So it does, but it
sometimes teaches her some other things
that need a little guarding against.
A girl with an allowance occasionally
make- it an excuse for peuuriousness on
the one side and unhesitating begging
ou the other that tend a little to charac
ter deterioration, says Harper's Baxar.
While it is perfectly right and proper to ;
give as an excuse for self denial that
one's allowance is exhausted, or will not
admit of the proposed purchase or pleas
ure trip, it is not right to say, as girls
have been known to say, "I'll go with
you, but you must pay my enr fare," or
"I have only a dime to spare in the treat '
if you will let me come in on that," etc. I
I have heard a girl reply in answer to
a suggestion from a companion on a short
railroad trip that a parlor car should be
taken. "'Oh, if we *lo that you will have
to pay my way on it, my allowance is
so nearly spent."
Girls who would "shrink" from the idea
of "sponging" under other circumstances
do not hesitate to t'ike advantage of this
allowance peg upon which to hang a
good many small meannesses iu money
matters.
When it conies to the mother's purse,
the cribbing by any means and outright
purloining, indeed, are not disguised.
These are only little foxes, to be sure,
girls, but they gnaw the vines of integrity
and self respect and would better be
choked off.
Woman's I'osltlon In Korea.
We may say without hesitation that the
lot of the Korean women is the most pit
iable, just as the position of her people is
the most deplorable, in the far east. Ev
ery degrading idea emanating from China
is here carried to an extreme. The wife
is sot more than a chattel, seldom seen
before the marriage, which is arranged
by a "go between," as in China and Ja
pan, and after niarriago to talk to her
even is a degradation for the husband.
In the lower classes she must work,
work, work. In the upper classes she
must be eutornbed.
A few instances will give point to these
facts. In the city of Fusan, in southern
Korea, there lived a Korean wife of the
upper though not noble class. She had
been reached in her home, which was her
prison, by some young women missiona
ries. One night, with the consent of her
husband, they planned to take her to visit
the Japanese settlement near by. This
event took the place in her life that a trip
abroad *ioes with us. She said that for
many years she had seen nothing more
than the roof of her husband's house.
Now she had something to think of un
til she died. A Korean girl lias no name.
She is known as So-and-so's sister or So
and-so's mother when she becomes mar
ried anil has a son. Her husband calls
her by her son's name. A husband iu Ko
rea is entitled to a divorce on the ground
of his wife's incompatibility with her
mother-in-law. The professions of sor
ceress. Buddhist nun and dancing girl
seem the only avenues by which the Ko
rean w oman cau escape bondage. Though
iu some cases the adoption of Christianity
has led to a better state of affairs, yet
the attempt at innovation seems almost
hopeless.—Ainslee's Magazine.
A fteatfiil Cbiuitfe.
It should be a part of a woman's re
ligion to do something every day that she
likes to do—something that does not be
long in the diurnal "musts." No matter
how foolish or inconsistent it may appear
to others, she should have the privilege of
doing it, witliout note or comment..
Kousework, even with the help of the
best of modern conveniences, is at best a
grind where there is but one pair of
Lands to accomplish all. and any little di
version which can be made to serve to
lighten the burden should not hen matter
•112 whim or taken with a sense of stolen
sweets, but should be as much a duty as
washing dishes or making beds.
Individual tastes differ, and what would
be a bore to one woman is a panacea for
another.
The active temperament finds rest in a
change of work; the dishcloth is ex
changed for a bit of embroidery or cro
chet; the four walls of the house for a
race In double quick time "down to 'ha
store," or ovr to th* n<~lehhor's.
The cookbook is superseded by the lat
est magazine by the woman of loss active
body but busier mind, while to some
women the utter forgetfulness of self and
everything else in a short sleep is the
greatest luxury.
The care of a few house plants is to
some others a restful change; while still
enother class takes the greatest pleasure
In having a banjo, autonarp or some of
the other equally inexpensive musical in
struments handy and picking out a popu
lar tune on them. Such things are worth
while. They add to the length of life
and make it more worth living.
Women In Office.
Although the women of today are not
to sit oil borough councils for the pres
»nt, at least in former times they have
occupied oven more imp irtant offices.
Centuries before the time of Stuart Mill
some of the fair sex certainly possessed
political equality with men. Gordon for
Instance, in his "Antiquities of Parlia
ment" records th* fa. t that Indies sat in
council with the Saxon Witas. In Wigh
fried's gri at council at He* coneeld, in the
year (J!M . the abbesses -at and deliber
ated. ami the 112 them • i ;iicd decrees of
that council, along with the king, bish
ops and nobles. King Edgar's charter
to the Abbey of Crow laud in !»<!! was
signed by women. In the reigns of Henry
HI and Ed ward I four abbesses were
summoned to parliament, while in tha*.
of Edward 111 no less than ten peeresses
received writ* to take their seats
Nor are instances of women bearing
the offices of sheriffs and justices want
ing. Margaret. eouutess of Thauet. held
the shrievalty of Westmoreland and
Cumberland in the seventeenth century.
Among the Harleiai manuscripts men
tiou is made of Margaret, countess of
Richmond, mother to Henry VII, as a
justice of the peace; also that a lady
named Bartlett was made justice of the
peace in Gloucertershire by Queen Mary.
In Sussex a lady named Rouse -at on the
bench at assizes and sessions among ths
other justices and was girded with *
sword. In Coke's "I.ittletou" is another
instance that "Anne, counters of l'em
broke, serve*! the office of high sin riff of
Westmoreland, and ut the assizes at
Appleby sat in pel son with the judges ou
the bench." —London Chronicle.
Brother?* and Slaters.
A girl who has brothers gains much in
a sensible kind of comradeship with
them, and v'h her brothers' young men
friends. As a rule, says The Delineator,
a girl's brother is n most severe critic in
regard to her men friends A sister is, or
should be, considered by her brother a
very precious object to protect from
harm and ? > defend from mistakes, and
a girl is wise if she heeds the counsels
of a good brother and measures men by
his standards in making her choice of
friends.
On the other hand, a sister's influence
over a brother may be of the best. She
can help him to cultivate noble qualities,
to be holiest, unselfish, self respecting.
She can inspire him with a wish to be
courteous, considerate and chivalrous to
ward women. If a sister is a firm and
constant friend to her brother and pro
vides attractions for him in his home, she
will strengthen him against many outside
influences which might prove very harm
ful if he is unprepared for them. A dis
tinguished man has acknowledged the
debt of gratitude which he owed to a
devoted sister by saying: "My sister al
ways had leisure for counsel and sympa
thy in all my boyish difficulties and
troubles. She took an interest in all my
friends and companions. In my boyhood
1 hardly realised all that she was to me,
but as a man I appreciate what her in
fluence was to nie in uiy youth."
The Woman of l'oise.
The dictionary defines poise as "the
state or quality of being balanced; equili
brium, equipoise; hence, figuratively,
equanimity, rest." l'oise instills grace
and symmetry into the workings of the
mind, just as physical exercise does into
the movements of the body. It is rarely
a natural endowment, but may be culti
vated to th«' point where it becomes sec
ond nature, l'oise always carries with it
a suggestion of reserved force, and the
woman who wishes to acquire it must
learn to husband her energy as well as
her time. She must not fritter away
words, moments or emotions.
The woman of poise indulges in a few
exclamations or superlatives and docs not
waste enthusiasm over trifles. She is
gracious, but never gushing, and she has
acquired the habit of listening attentive
ly, not awaiting with ill concealed eager
ness a pause in the *onversation fo enable
her to rush in and take the floor. The
woman of poise never lingers after her
good by is spoken; never, in fact, tinder
any circumstances talks long while stand
ing. She does not experience the difficul
ty too many people have ol taking leave
gracefully. She sa.vs goodby. gives you a
bright smile and is eff to the picasiiic or
duty that awaits her. Y*> , do not tnd

Imitation Boy*.
1 wish 1 were a boy—a real boy. with
overalls and a t un shiit and a pair of
stubby little brown feet and a lint that
wouldn't hold water. What fun I would
have laughing at the poor little imitation
boys with imitation mothers who care
more for what "they say" than for the
comfort and happiness of their children.
I saw a woman leading a boy, or what
was supposed to be a boy, down town the
other day. ll*- wore long curls, English
half so* ks and a starched white sailor col
lar fhat was slowly but surely turning
him from a decent little chap with human
instincts into a whining, snarling, ill tem
pered little rascal who deserved a spank
ing just for the expression of his face.
I suppose if the agent for the Humane
society had arrested that boy's mother
for aiding and abetting in the increase
of Juvenile crime she would have rent
the air with indignant and amazed prot
estations. What on earth is a woman
made of who will take a healthy, vigor
ous little animal and torture him like
that, just to make him "look nice"?
How can she expect him to have any
respect for her judgment. *>r much belief
in her affection, when she persists in
treating him that way? Winifred Black

Stf«nrt'« Bent « npltal Was Hi* Wife.
Alexander T. Stewart, the prince of
American merchants *>f his time, owed
much to his wife. Men in New York who
know much about their early start, of
their first effort- to climb the long ladder
to fortune and prosperity, know that it
was Mrs. Stewart's taste In color, pru
dence in Investment and forecasting of
the coming fashions that gave to the
great firm its prestige and aided It in its
ongoing toward a plane of universal rec
ognition as the leading house on the conti
nent.
Many visitors familiar with the interior
of Stewart's great establishment cau re
call the slight, ladylike figure of the wife
of the head of the firm often seen there,
going about, unpretentious, from depart
ment to department, from counter to
counter, from clerk to clerk, inquiring
here, listening there, attentive every
where. When success had perched upon
his banner of thrift and enterprise, the
great merchant was prompt to admit that
much of his exceptional good fortune was
due to the woman who gave him not her
hand alone, but with it her head, well
stored with mother wit and much good
sense.—Success.

"Ray, son," sal<l the colonel, "*lo you

"Where does the thrill come in?"
Maxwell, the colonel's partner, called
from his corner. The colonel chuckled, j
then said very slowly, "Can you imag
ine how it feels to know yourself with
in an inch of hanging?"
"Oh, there's a story! Tell it," Max
well said, putting down his pen. The
colonel thing over to him the most un
forgivable of the penwipers, then sat
down on the edge of my desk, folded
his arms and began:
"Don't know that 1 ever told you I
fit fur Cousin Sally Ann, as our com
pany wag used to express serving the
Confederacy. Hut I did. I was a dare
devil too. Would you think so to look
at me now?"
"Not much," we said in chorus. He
smiled and went on:"I belonged to Mr.
Forrest's 'critter company.' You don't
know it, but that means that I had a
heap of chances to get myself shot. He
was a lighter from 'way back, was Mr.
Forrest l'-ut that didn't feiize the boys
who rode with him. It was what they
were there fur. He made things lively,
1 tell you, in the country between the
rivers—the Cumberland and Tennessee.
North of the Cumberland, after Donel-
fell, it was mighty hazardous for a
grayeoat to venture. The river could
be forded only in time of drought, and
the strict gunboat patrol made swim
ming or sailing across it about as dan
gerous as anything could be. Still we
wanted now and then to get news of
our friends, the enemy, over tiiere, and
one day 1 volunteered to swim the riv
es - and bring bark word to my chief.
'Co if you're a mind ter. Billy, but I
sorter think you'll come back dead.' he
said. l!ut I went. Home was across
the river, vou see. and a girl who—but
never mind. 1 didn't see her that trip.
"Hardly had 1 crossed when 1 ran
plump upon a former overseer, who
was, I knew, a Union man. He recog
nized me at once, yet if I had been the
prodigal son his welcome could not
have been wanner. When I asked if
he meant to iufonn on me, he almost
cried. 11 is feelings were so hurt, in
deed. that I had to agree tu stay all
night at his house and let him help me
next morning across the river, which
was the main lion in my homeward
path. '1 wanter show ye Jessermine'a

my horse in his stable, with cavalry
saddle and holsters, most certainly
would. Escape was out of the ques
tion. They were before and behind
me and all around, with more coming
in each half hour.
"Then every mother's son of 'em was
mighty mad with Forrest. He had
whipped 'em when he had no right to
do it and run when they ought to have
whipped him. There was, besides, a
sort of talk of retaliation. Altogether
I made up my mind that I had less
than six hours of life, unless a miracle
saved me or Jessermine stood my
friend.
"She did that, like the trump she
was. 'Don't you worry,' she said when
she brought me breakfast. 'Eat hearty
an rest all you can, until 1 get them
Yankees all fed. It's likely you may
have to ride all night without stoppiu,
but don't you be uneasy whatever you
do.'
"Will you believe it, I trusted that
girl blindly—lay down and slept like a
top until she was back again. She had
her paintbox and brushes, besides a
couple of raw onions. When she had
told me her plan for me, I laughed until
1 cried.
"Carry it out? I shouldn't be here if
I had not. That afternoon, about 2
o'clock, a man rode wearily into the
camp. His eyes were red and swollen
and ran water continually. He was
broken out all over with red, angry
looking pustules. 'Take me to your
general. I—l surrender. lam Captain
Lillard of Forrest's cavalry,' he said in
a weak voice. 'I want to be sent to the
hospital. As you see, I have small
pox'—
"The sentry waited to bear no more.
He passed the prisoner on like a hot
potatoe. So did the corporal of the
guard, and so, in the end, did the gen
eral. The prisoner, whose eyes kept
getting redder and more watery, studi
ed strongly of onions, but none of them
came near enough to perceive It. By 4
o'clock he hud been escorted to the
river bank and told to cross it or drown
or do anything that pleased bim except
strew Infection through a United
States army corps. He did cross the
river- be got safely to Mr. Forrest, too
—but did not escape quite scot free. It
was all of a month before Jessermine's

ENGLISH OF THE ENGLISH.
"London IN a Nice I'lnee I* Yon
Know the Language."
That hackneyed American maiden
who said London was a nice place if
you knew the language was not a bit
absurd. We speak English, but we
haw built up our forms of English ex
pression upon the English of a few
shires of the old country :ts it was
spoken between two and three centu
ries ago, while they have been blending
and changing the speech of all their
home peoples during the same period.
The result Is that an American can
hardly utter a sentence in England
without calling attention to the differ
ence between his speech and that of
the people about him.
Only yesterday, after 18 months' resi
dence In England, I rushed up to a con
ductor In Charing Cross station and
asked, "Which car for Bromley?" lie
stared at me, and I knew I had spoken
a foreign tongue to him, because street
vehicles like omnibuses and horse cars
are called road cars and tram cars, and
there are no other cars In England.
If you ask a guest at your home In
England whether lie likes his meat

meat underdone when it is not thor

fear the asparagus Is canned, he is at
a It is-- again, because he would have
said it was tinned. To ask him to pass
the powdered sugar will again set him
to wondering, for he calls It Icing sugar
generally, though he knows that it Is
sometimes called caster or sifted sugar.
And if you have candy on the table
you may not call It so without betray
ing your foreign origin, for he calls
candy "sweets," abbreviated from
"sweetmeats," and used to designate
all preserves, puddings, pies, candies
and jams.

time. From a thick, partly yellow
globe the glass thinned out quickly as
the men ran apart, until it became a
dull red tube not larger than a man's
little finger and nearly 300 feet long.
Sometimes in drawing these tubes one
of the blowers would not only run the
length of the corridor, but far outside
on the hill.

The oldest map in existence is a piece
of mosaic in a Ityzautine church at
Malaba, in Palestine. It represents
part of the Holy Laud and Is 1,700
years old.

An old Scottish farmer, being elected
a member of the local school board,
visited the school and tested the intel

The first inquiry was:
"N'oo, boys, can ony o' you tell me

After a moment's silence a m: all boy

Free Tuition
AT A
Good School
We have just received a catalogue
of the Literary Institute and State
Normal School, located at Bloomsburg,
Pa. This school maintains several
courses of study for training teacher*,
a Preparatory Collegiate Course, and
courses in Voice and Piano.
It is the only boarding school we
have heard of where students enter
the dining room at their leisure, and
order their meals to suit their appetite
arid digestion as at a first class hotel.
It has a faculty of College and Uni
versity trained specialists, abundant
apparatus of the latest and most ap
proved kind, and every comfort and
convenience for the students.
Tuition has recently been made £re«
for those preparing to teach. A letter
of inquiry addressed to the Principal,
Judson Perry Welsh, A.M., Ph.D.,
will bring valuable information to
those seeking a good school.
