Janus Replies to Miss Queux.
Bet your life. Miss Qoeox, it
wasnH wild quessing when rb
guessed Janus was the patent churn
agent for he is, and well be re
members the afternoon he was or
dered from your premises with the
excuse of not having time to dis
cuss patent churns, and he very
quickly told you it required no
discussion but was an article which
always sold to those who were In
favor of progress and willing to
depart from the old way, and as
politely as possible took his deoart-
ture, believing of course voa were
in favor of progress but had an
anti pithy for agents. ' But taking
Erb's hint and your writing as a
clue have not only become con
vinced as to your idenity but fully
convinced you are not in favor of
new ideas and willing to cling to
the old way even in churning.
Will say in defense of myself.
that I made a success of the churn
business and supplied several of
my progressive neighbors with
churns which they wouldn't sell
after three year's use for twice the
price paid, and it is to be hoped
that Miss Queux will procure' one
yet. However, I'm not the agent
now and my-desire to have her
posess on is purely nnselfish just
for her own convenience and the
sake of progress. Again, in my
. ... ...
defense will aay I dp not pose as
a correct authority on farm life,"
All I have said or will aay was in
the way or suggestions and was
certainly not written to invite criti
cism and most assurdly notsorcasm.
I'm glad. Miss Queux, you have
informed the correspondents- of
The Progress that my jokes do
not need labeling and will say also
that other people's' jokes will not
be treated seriously by me so long
as tney aren't coupiea wun we
question at issue by sarcastic
epitephs such as you persist in us
ing. . It is true I used a joke by
way of introducing myself when I
first appeared in the People!
Forum but the remainder of - what
I said . was serious which fact I
thought would be obvious even to
the cousal reader. Tm sorry how
ever it hasn't been treated ao and
trust I shall be better understood
in the future. But whatever, the
nature of ray writings may be I
will not endeavor to be "tacky or
"pose" as an authority on any sub
ject, but what little I do know I
know it just as good as a ''grown
person." I don't mean to try to
be the leader of the spirit of pro
gress and organization which I
trust will soon take hold

don't help push it.
It's impossible for me to see
thing! as my worthy critic does if
she really means that her
feeble
remarks are in no wise seriooa
when she in, referring to Janus,
uses such adjectives as "flippant
and "smart aire" Janus has nev
er been acused of being "flippianV
even when he belonged to the
"yoonger set' and he, at least, hat
reasons to beJieve that the smart

direction we are sure they do not
betray the moat prominent trails
of the author.
Will aay in conclusion that I
don't think its fair to apply the
term Maehoolmama to all those
who teach but only to those who
have decided they cannot "jump
out of the frying pan and have
taken up teaching as a side line
advocate woman's rights, woman's
