Nothing else was expected of Miss Gladys for as soon as the novelty of marrying a Jap wore off It was pre sumed that she would seek something else to amuse herself. So far as she Is personally concerned, she deserves) no sympathy whatever. But her good old parents, who watched and cared for her tenderly who spent their lives for her sake, who sacrificed much that she might be well educated and refined, are tasting of the bitter dregs of distress caused by their daughter's action.

It Is found by comparison of sta tistics that the average salary paid ministers of the gospel is $663 In the United States. ! This is certainly a pity and if it were possible the government would confer a favor on the nation by keeping the figures out of print. While there are many men in the ministry who should not be there, and there are many who probably do not de serve even that salary, yet the great majority of them are entitled to more consideration. j Every man thinks his line of busi ness carries the heaviest burdens. Usually he lives' in this' frame of mind until some neighbor comes along who is following another line and un bosoms himself telling of his troubles.

(By Mrs. E. C. Moore.) Tis a very solemn day For the children of even the gray, For a commandment Is given them to say: "Honor thy father and thy mother. That thy days May be long in the days which the Lord thy God has given thee." ' So their children are taught to per fect harmony In blending the blue and the gray, For their father is, perhaps, a Son of a Union soldier; Their mother, maybe, a .. Daughter of the Confederacy And as I look at you, 0, soldier; Scarred and worn t For being brave and true How needless these scars and wounds If only man to man had said: "I love yon." ' , . But we fight for what we think is right, And every man will Justify For having done or for what he'll do; This is why on Solemn day We reverence both tho gray' and blue. There Is only one who intercedes, For both. saddened gray or. lighting blue, ', And he lives today and will for eter- nlty", That One who gave himself To keep his brother, all for love of you. Today we meet to honor those Who founded freedom and liberty And as o'er their graves these flowers strew,-. ... Let each one pray to found A kingdom of unity , Then will hearts bloom their rarest gems To wreathe the tombs of living men with "I love you." This is Solemn day; To remember death, is sad always, Whether the one was a weakling born Or whether the one was brave and strong. " It is Bad to know That this mound is the all visible Of him who wore the gray or blue, But the Baddest heart today, I trou, Is that heart longing to recall And say to them: "I love you." .

Hew Two Greatest Ball Flayers In Gams Sizs Up, DIFFERENT STYLES OF THE liEti Tyrut Wins Admiration by His Grace, While Honu Awm One by His Bulk Both Have Achieved Grtat Results. As has been the case for the past few , seasons, Hans Wagner of the Pittsburg Nationals and Tyrus Cobb of the Detroit Americans are. again corralling ' all the batting and bus running honors of their respective leagues. Nearly every spring reports from the training camps tell that the equals or superiors of these two stars have been found. But shortly aftw the season opens these would be greats fall by the wayside. There i only one Ty Cobb and one Hans Wu li ner. They are the two greatest play ers in the game today. The comparison between Cobb and Wagner Is an interesting one. ' Both achieve great results, but not in the same manner. Wagner is a ponder ously "por.'wt athlete, while Cobb, a slender, delicate appearing chap, pos sesses ability which Is constantly brought to the urn-face by his brilliant plays and the wonderful spirit that has made hint envied and hated by others. Both men are . wonderful, hitters, wonderful base runners and wonderful fielders. For more than twelve years "jts. r ,. i HOW THB TWO OBIAT FLATS RS PXRFOB1I ON TBS DIAMOND. Wagner has kept np a dizzy pace. He haa played every position and, not only that has been a sensation in alL He has the speed of Cobb, th.t terrific hitting powers of Lajole. the energy of Jennings and the disposi tion of Willie Keeler. Cobb, on the other hand, has been setting the king ly pace for but four years. But how different they are! You point to Cobb with pride as the ideal ball player, and then yon watch Hans Wagner and smile atthe comparison, for all that Cobb is, except in ability to "get there." Wagner isn't. In action Ty Cobb comes closer to the athletic ideal than any other man in baseball. Built like a greyhound, bis lithe body is always a study. Wagner Is without precedent In tho athletic world. As Cobb wins admira tion by bis grace, Wagner awes ono by his bulk. Wagner just bulges all orer.

HATIGNAL SOCIETY ORGANIZED Workers In Different but Allied Fields Will Be Brought Together at Big Meeting In Worcester, Mass. Or ganization and Increased Efficiency ' Demanded. The second general meetlmr of the Na tional Child Conference For Research ana welfare Is being planned for the last days of June and early July. This meeting will be . at Worcester. Mass., where the conference came into existence nearly a year ago. Leaders in various forms of effort for the bet terment of Juvenile citizens will ad dress the sessions.- The conference will last five days. This organization alms to be a central clearing house for Information "and for definite action for the welfare of children In all depart ments. Instead of. taking some one phase of child nature, such as garden ing or playgrounds or bealth, the con ference regards the coming citizen as a unit and attends to the unit's needs In their relation to one another and to the community. Speaking on this peculiarity of the organization, Henry S. Curtis, the sec retary, said that thlrty-three child helping organizations were represent ed at the first meeting In July, 1909. i,-. "It Is expected that there will be a still more general representation this year," he added. "At these meetings matters of general Interest are dis cussed and methods that might apply to different fields are considered. It h the purpose of the conference to bring the different organizations closer together, so that there may bo less wasted and misguided effort "We all know the results of organi sation In the commercial world and the Increased business efficiency that fol lows., We want to secure some such results for philanthropic movements. We want to nke 11 easy 'or various kinds of social workers in different but allied fields to become acquainted with each other, with each other's troubles and methods, and to provide them with a central source of Informa tion and assistance when needed.
