If everybody had what they
wanted in this life, this old earth

ate a compliment when they
were so fortunate as to receive
one But imagine the pitiful
plight of the candidates.
Our correspondent from Va-
lera this week ends up the com-
munication with a very beautiful
tribute to the ordinary woman.
The most striking predominating
peculiarity of the so-called “or-
dinary woman” is that they are
very extriordinary. They are
the embodiment of the pure and
good—the spirit of heavenly in-
spiration which traverses' this
sin-cursed world as a beacon in
the life of man—the sure foun-
dation upon which rests the na-
tion’s future existence. They are
our mothers (God gave them to
us; they are of God) and sisters
(the most cherished pride of the
young man’s heart). Their
names kindly mentioned thrills

Take from our midst the light

she never manned boat or plung-

spectacular exhibition of courage,
yet she has stood at her post 30
or 40 years, fighting all kinds
of disappointments and troubles
and sure enough the world has
never even noticed her achieve-
ments. There is nothing high
or heroic in her appearance.
She is just a common-place wo-
man—the kind you meet on the
street every day, without ever
giving her a glance, much less
saluting her as a heroine. Nev-
ertheless, she is entitled to the
cross of the Legion of Honor for
distinguished gallantry on the
battle field of life. Nobody calls
her brave, yet when diptheria
and fevers overtake us, it is that
dear woman who looks after us
all through the dark hours of
night Now let us be more
thoughtful of the ordinary wo-
