One thing about these "Knights of
the Roads" is that they are great
fellows for secret societies. Most
all drummers belong to everything
that's goingfrom the "Grand Knights
of the Diamond Garter" down to the
"Sons of Intemperance.'' I am
quite a hand at all such mysterious
things myself, so I get solid with all
the boys.
My old friend Henry Wasser cal
led on me the other day to see if I
wanted any groceries and to have a
visit. We had a jolly time. While
we were sittin in the office a chap
came in and wanted to borrow $2
because of a remittance not coming
to him as he expected. I told him
my S2 I kept to loan, was in now,
having been returned the day before
by Matt Keck, but I never lend it
except to drummers. He said :
"That's me." I gave him the grand
hailing sign of Odd Fellows, which
he tumbled to. Then I came to the
great "Hair in the Soup" grip of the
Pytbianics. He tumbled. Then
Wasser gave him the G. B. of the
sons of Malta He was on to it.
Then I tipped him the air-poking
signal of the "Touch-Up Club."
He smiled and said : "H. 0." (this
is a technical term.) Next Hen.
Wasser struck out his hand and
gave the P. D. Q. sign of a Royal
Arch Brick Mason and he got in on
that. Then Wasser examined him
as follows;
Whence comeit thou, pard?

Had you the required cheek?
I had It not. but John Smith had It for
me.
How were you reelvcb?

Not to fool around the toe too much.

I was again seated on a rake of Ice, In front
of a dry oods box. and made to take the
following horrible and binding oath:

Some men belong to every society
in the nelehborhood but the society
of their home.
Woman is gentle, dependent and
loving when protected, but dares
danger bv flood, fire, or battle to
aid her country or protect her loved
ones.
The sweet and gracious little flow
er of courtesy it one that should
bloom steadily in every home. No
rare exotic can send forth such
sweet perfume nor lend such grace
and beauty to a home. If all the
members of a family were as courte
ous and kind to each other as they
are to strangers, what a difference
it would make in the heme atmos
phere. It is the little foxes that destroy
the vines in home life. We have
known men who would lay down
their lives for their wives and chil
dren, who would almost have fits of
apoplexy over a button off a shirt or
a mislaid paper, lhere are women
who would die at the stake for their
husbands, but who have an almost
unconscious habit of nagging the
poor man from morning till night.
strange tsn t It?
Although housekeeping and home
making are the most important of all
things, yet they are sought after the
very least. Girls get married who
do not know how to make a loaf ot
bread or boil a potato, expecting
somehow that these things will take
care of themselvse, and they can live
happy with a man in his ignorance,
knowing too that the heart and stora
ach of man are so friendly that they
cannot be separated. Ignorance
cannot be made bliss in housekeep
ing, and there is no surer way to lose
the respect of a husband thin to
spoil bis dinner. He can not thrive
long on purely a love diet.
We are almost out of home girls ;
girls that are "mother's right
hand" ; girls that can cuddle the lit
tie ones next best to mamma, and
smooth out the tangles in the domes
tic skein when things get twisted ;
girls that father takes comfort in for
something better than beauty, and
big brothers are proud of for some
thing that outranks ability to lead
ing a dude.
How many children know their
fathers only as anxious, money-male
ing machines, and their mothers as
tired nervous middle-aged drudges
It would be wise for them occasion'
all to rest and amuse themselves to
gether. The parents' influence
would be stronger if they lived not
altogether lor but with their chit
dren.

THE HEW WOMAN.
Just now who "the new woman"
of the day is, upon whose much
heralded advent many good and
sober minded people have taken
fright, remains a mystery. That
times are changing, and women ad
vancing into broader fields of educa
tion and usefulness, no one in his
senses can doubt. The real new
woman which the twentieth century
will give to grace the decade of its
successors, will be one, who, to the
gentle, feminine attributes of her
colonial ancestors, will add the
strength of self reliance and the force
of systematic, intellectual training.
A wider experience in life, and an
extended knowledge of human na
ture, have never yet retarded the
wheels of progress or deracinated
society, and there seems no very
good reason to oelieve that different
results will prevail, because women
possess these advantages. Immut
able nature has mapped out to wo
mrn her sphere. The golden chains
of love and maternal devotion bind
her willingly to it. She could not
leave it if she would, and she would
not if she could.
So after the extravagances and
exaggerations that are now following
naturally enough in the wake of the
movement which is advancing wo
man into a higher position in the
social system shall have settled down
as extremes attendant on reforms
have done before, the real new wo
man will appear, as true to herself
ana her vocations as any cf her
predecessors. If the spirit of her
time menus her duties, In some
Instances into public life, there she
will conduct herself with dignity and
ability. She will preside at the fire
side, a fair and stately figure, none
the less lovable because adorned
with more of the graces of Minerva,
as well as those of Venus s none the
less companionable because.of her
better understanding of things that
interest wen,
