•
Look up and not down,
Look forward and not back,
Look out and not in,
Lend a hand,
Is the motto of an organization in this city,which
is doing good in so many directions that it would
be difficult to determine which of its many
branches is the most effective! We will make
special mention, however, of an effort which is be
ing made by the “King’s Daughters” to estab
lish a home for destitute women. It may not be
generally known that at the rooms of the Y. M.
C. A. a box has been left for the contribution of
those wishing to aid in this cause, and where
anyone desiring to enroll can learn all the particu
lars.
TEMPERANCE NOTES.
W. C. T. U. had an enthusiastic gathering Feb
ruary 9, at Y. M. C. A. rooms, to elect officers for
interim election to be reaffirmed in April, the time
set by last convention for annual election.
The following were unanimously elected by first
ballot: Mrs. Alfred Noon, president; Miss Farr,
vice-president; Mrs. George McDiarmid, record
ing secretary; Mrs. A. J. Thompson, correspond
ing secretary; Mrs. W. S. Holt, treasurer. Su
perintendents of various work were also elected.
Miss Henley, as superintendent of state and
local prison departments, is doing a noble work.
Self-denying, always at her post of duty, this
whole-souled woman goes on from one New Year’s
dawn until another. “The regling of the pris
oner” is never unheeded and “those ready to
perish her constant care.”
Mrs. L. W. Coy, as superintendent of juvenile
and scientific instruction, has a valiant Band of
Hope, from eighty to one hundred in attendant.
Every Sunday at 3 p. m. Capt. Tabor and Mrs.
Coy assemble the little folk by the top of the
drum. Everything in order, temperance songs
are sung, Mrs. Egerton leading. Then an inter
esting true story is told by Capt. Tabor, followed
by a lecture by Mrs. Coy, sometimes on noted
boys of the boys’ total abstinence bands of boys
like Daniels. Then, again, on hygiene, with
blackboard illustrations. Then the treasurer Mrs.
McDiarmid takes charge of the children’s nickels
and dimes for the Bank of Thrift; all to be paid
back with interest. And all go home happy and
-conscious of an hour well spent.
THE LEADING CARPET HOUSE.
In this issue of the Woman’s Chtonicle will be
found the advertisement of the Cole Carpet Co.,
the largest and only exclusive house in the carpet
and upholstery business in the state. This is a
live, progressive house, they keep up with every
thing new and nobby in their line, and never hesi
tate to take hold. Their methods of doing busi
ness are the latest and most improved, their up
holsterers are expert and polite. They are the
largest buyers, and as they discount all their pur
chases they are enabled to buy from best houses
in the trade. A visit to their store at 210 Main
street will convince the most skeptical that all
they say in their advertisement is just as near
correct as is possible. They have received the
greater portion of their spring stock, which was
personally selected by one of their firm, from the
leading houses and manufacturers East. Give
them a call.
