Where the Road Divides.
Through the dusk of a late
March day, two children wand-
ered along a country road. A
boy and si girl they were and
held each other’s hand. They
were tired and silent, for they
had come from far away, beyond
the dark forest, and were bound
for the great city, where they
thought they would find work
and a happier life.
At last they were so weary
that they la> down on a little
mound and fell asleep. And
strange to say, they had exactly
the same dream.
They stood hand in hand at a
place where the road divided and
didn’t kno'1’ which way to go,
when all at once two women j _ _
came forward to meet them. A

The way shown by Longing
began with gloom and stones
and underbrush, but finally en-
ded on a high hill top, surmount-
ed by a shining budding on
whose roof was written: “Free
DoM. ”
Before the astonished child
ren could decide which path to
take, Longing breathed lightly
upon them and they awoke.
Springing to thei*- feet, they
gazed upon the rising sun and
started forward, with shining
eyes. They knew where they
wanted to go. They had a goal,
they had a leader. Hand in
hand they went toward the Sun.

Then the woman on the leL
/ approached the children. She
was tall and a rich soft robe fell
in white lolds about her. Her
voice rang penetrating, almost
commanding and yet full of feel-
ing.
“Follow tne,” she said to the
children. “My way is narrow
and full of troubles. But the
best then and women have gone
this way. So long as I am at
ing bridge party than they are
of the salvation of their children;
you have merchants in your
churches who think more of
gold than of God; and you have
in your churches too a great
number of those demasculinized
creatures who give more thought
to the crease in their trousers
than to the crisis of their soul’.*,
affairs. The Men and Religion
Movement means to see thai
conversion shall not give way to
culture.”
It is a serious accusation and.
if true, should quicken the ac
tivity of those in authority in the
churches. The great mass ol

“A Lady,**
Down in Georgia the state su-
preme court has just handed
down a decision that it is not
libelous to call a “lady” a “wo-
man.” A “lady” brought the
action. She alleged that she
had been maliciously slandered
and libelled.
She was a well known “society
lady.” The defend ant had had
the temperity to refer to her as
a “woman of this city.” The
court of last resort in the state
of Georgia in setting forth the
law declared that a lady is a wo-
man, but that a woman is not al-
ways and necessarily a lady.
And after so declaring the su-
preme court found in favor of
the defendant.
We suspect that this learned
decision of when a lady is not is
loaded with sarcasm. We sus-
pect that in tiaing for the de-
fendant the court felt that this
certain “society lady” had been
honored and not slandered.
God gave the world women.
The “lady” is not his making.
Too often the “society lady” is
an invention of the devil.
It is of women that mothers
are made. The greatest mother
of them all. we find was a wo-
man. The Savior said to Mary,
“Woman, behold thy son.”
It may have been that this
woman in Georgia did wrong in
referring to this society lady as
a woman. But she had not li-
belled her, that is certain.
The world would be much bet-
ter off today if it had more wo-
men and fewer ladies.—Musko-

Boys Should Consider Soil and
Slope of Ground in Mak-
ing Their Choice.
Boys who are planning to en-
ter the big Wichita Weekly
Eagle corn contest should be
making their plans in the near
future, as to the ground on
which they will plant their acre
of corn. In doing this they will
have several important points to
consider.
This contest is for boys who
are’ between 10 and 18 years of
age, because they will probably
take more interest in exper-
imenting than the man whose
opinions are formed and whose
time is claimed by larger inter-
ests. Surley every boy can se-
cure one acre of corn, tend it
carefully and send to the Weekly
Eagle Corn Contest manager ten
of the finest ears grown.
Begin your plans at once, get
the best seed and give it the
best care, for who knows but
this may be the year of the
“bumper corn crop” we are al-
ways expecting? As an encour-
agement^to the boys, we are off-
ering prizes as follows:
FTsb Prize-The Weekly Eagle
Corn Trophy, an elegantly en-
graved silver cup.
Second Prize—A 1912 stand-
rad make rifle.
Third Prize—Fine $5 sair of
gauntlet auto gloves.
Special Prize—A 17-jeweled
gold watch, any standard make,
is offered by Scott T. Poweres
of the Marlow Seed Co., Wichita,
Ran., for the best corn grown
from Reed’s Early Dent. Mr.
Poweres will furnish the seed
for planting one acre of the corn
free to all boys who join this con-
test and who make application to
him.
All boys v7ho wish to enter
this contest are reqvested to fill
out and send us at once the cou-
pon below. Address The Wich-
ita Eagle, Corn Contest Manager

ESCAPES AN AWFUL FATE.
A thousand tongues could not
express the gratitude of Mrs. .1.
E. Cox, of Joliet, 111., for her
wonderful deliverande from an
awful fate. “Typhoid pneumon-
ia had left me with a dreadful
cough,” she writes. “Some-
times I had such awful coughing
spells I thought I would die. I
could not get help from doctor's
treatment or other medicines till
1 used Dr. King’s New Discov-
ery. But I owe my life to this
wonderful remedy for I scarcely
cough at all now.” Quick and
safe, its the most reliable of all
throat and lung medicines.
Every bottle guaranteed. 50c
and $1.00. Trial bottle free at
