"NO SHADOW CM HER FACE"!
WrlUr Tails of Snallih Woman Who
Hu Given All She Hid to
the Country,
We Ensllsli do not rend our ensir
! mltj lists uiy uiuro. . Many of us tlnre
not. When wo moot, we do not even
peak of those who hnvo gono uway.
A wry touching thing wis told me by
one of my nelghlHirs. Hu was the Just
of twenty-four officers In one of the
Gordon regiments. He snld that the
places were Just tilled up its soon n
they were emptied, and they never
poke of those who hud fallen. That
brings the reality of tub thing to you.
In my own little country Sooihnnl
jou will Ond many, iiiuny vlllagis
from which the Highland regiments
nuve been recruited. There nro' no
boys left to como back. They nrs all
dead. . - ...
Not mnny vieeks before I came to
this country I was up In the Gordpn
country, and on n Sunday nitwit I was
speaking in a church on the spiritual
side of the war. At tho close a wom
an came to me, a little, simple, coun
try woman, dressed In tho uniform ot
: the Gordon Highlanders, holding a
yellow missive, which I, alas, knew ton
. well. "The war ottice department re
grets to Inform that r.
was killed In action." . She laid this
little missive beside one of the por
traits, and said, "That came yestenhiv.
That'sllmmlc. He's the last of Uio
three. "I hear you nro going to Amer
ica, Will you tell American mother;
I have given nil my lads? I hud only
three and I would glvo slit, If I had
them, for' the some cause." Another
friend of mine has given all her five
sons. Slio Is n widow and sho has
none left; but she Is working lni'mio
of the canteens with no shadow on hor
face.-Mrs. A. Burnett-Smith in "the
Atlantic, Monthly. "
ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES
K
College-Bred Flowers That Nestle In
Ivy-Covered Wall of University
of Washington. ,
They nro college-hred roses and their
high education seems to have had a
very elevating effect on their aspira
tions. Students on the University of
Washington enmpns roeently noticed
on an Ivy-covered wall of Demiy hall,
way up on a level with the third floor'
windows, a spray of coppery roses, the
Seattle I'ost-Intelllgcncer says. The
branch which hears them reaches out
from "the heavy Ivy vines and Is thei
only sign of a rosebush In the neigh
burhutid.' ...
Some curiosity was aroused as. to
whether the flower was grafted nn'-'the
Ivy or whether It was rooted In tlm
wall. Neither supposition was found
to be correct. A number of yenrsyipp.
the rose blossomed modestly near the'
ground. Then either the crowding of
the Ivy or the lofty ambitions Inspired
by the Intellectual surromidiiiEs
' forced It to shoot up so that if could
extend its blossoms to the sun just
outside of the windows used by''flio
public-speaking and Spanish 'depart
ments. '';'
Its long, branchless stem Is covered
by the Ivy and Its top flourishes In" ilio
so,ft and musical sounds from the
Spanish room nnd the forceful oratory
from the public speakers.
Look at the Hat Cords. ry
A military man can Immediately
tell to what division n soldier belongs
by glancing nt the cord on his hat,
but to the average citizen tho color of
the hat cord denotes Utile or nothing.
. It Is an Interesting feature to be fa
miliar with, especially now wheQ so
many soldiers nre seen all over the
country, nnd anyone who takes tho
trouble to learn the following list will
he rewarded by being able to satisfy
his own curiosity respecting an.Vi,sql
dler he happens to see without having I
to ask Questions : A cord of light I
blue signifies that the wearor belongs sldercd u delicacy." Argonaut,
to the Infantry; red denotes artillery;!. :
yellow, cavalry; buff, quartermaster's j
corps; orange and white, signal Cin-ps; ;

German Genera!. Staff.
The German general staff is not the
creation of the kaiser. It Is the ere
ntion of the army, and In Geniiimy
the army is the nation. In the old
days, when the principality of Bran
denburg was becoming the state of.
Prussia, It was the .elector w ho gov
erned with unchecked, nulocrntic au
thority. Even when linindenburg had
become Prussia the kings of Prussia
domlnnted nnd owned the country ns
completely ns the head of the house
dominated the family, or the manu
facturer owned his business. The cab
inet of the great elector, the tobacco
parliament of Frederick William, 'tho
Potsdam library ot Frederick the
Great, these have merged Into the of-
flees of the general staff, In which
Is consecrated the surrender of ,the
state to the army, and of the army to
'the army chiefs.
Such a Relief. .
She put down th" book with a sUh.
"What Is It, darling?" he asked.
"Ah, dearest, I'm so happj-," she re-,
plied.
"But yon had such a sad look In
your "yes Just now."
"I know. I've been rending nbont
the niihopplness that tlie wives of men
t genius have nlways had to bear.
Oh, Alfred, dear, I'm so glad you're
lust nn ordinary sort of a fellow,"

' Said to Be Better Than Starch.
By holllns neawcrd with carbonate
of soda, nnd treating the filtered solu

Is produced that hns more viscosity
than starch or even gum arable, and
that can be profitably employed In
stiffening various UtxtiW tuMcs.'

United States ftaloes Bulbs.
Among many - things . the United
States has learned to do for Itself Is
the raising of seeds, bulbs and plants
formerly imported from Kurope. When
it became difficult to procure azaleas
from Ilelgluui nud tulips, hyacinths,
narcissi, etc., from Holland, Americans
began to experiment with cultivating
theso bulbs and plants In their own
country. And they've succeeded. They'll
bo able to restock the barren flower
gardens' of Europe later' on. J"he Pn
cllie coast lias proved the most ad
vantageous region for thls-new Indus
try. : -. : '' ;' '-'
Willing to Pay for His Fun. - -
"I'm goln' swlnimln?'. announced n
small South side boy the other night
"Oil, no, you're not," replied his
mother.
"But why not?"
"Heeause I'll give you n good spann
ing when you get back," explained the
mother confidently.
"That's fair enough," decided the
boy. Hying out of tho door, with his
bathing suit under his arm.
; . Jongle Can Furnish Food.
While the new. food cnmpnlgn was
being talked about nt Seattle, Ran
dolph I Summerfield of Singapore,
! who has lived forty years In the Malay
Slates, arrived on a government mis
sion. He is n civil engineer. "The
world's live-stock market has been dec
imated," sc!d Mr. Summerfield, "but If
worst comes to worst and there's a
real meat famine, the jungles of the
Malay States can supply vast quanti
ties of meats and fats. Our forests
nre full of monkeys of all kinds. Our
streams teem with crocodiles. The
huge anaconda snake Is numerous nnd
prolific. Monkey meat, cooued French
or Spanish style, . billed on the menu
as veal, would make nn epicure yearn
for more. There's no disagreeable! sen
timent about killing n crocodile or the
bon constrictor. Portions of the
'croco's' tali are extraordinarily good,
and the bon constrictor Is n culinary
favorite in India.
Fried In butter, or
certain oils, the bon constrictor Is con-
Proof Positive;
"Are you surd this chicken Is ten
der?" asked tlio customer In the mar
ket. - - .
"Yes, I think It is, sir," replied the
mnrketiniin,
"Anil do you know that It Is fresh
killed?"
"Oh, yes, sir." -
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." '-
"Why are yon so positive?"
. "Because I caught It In my war gar
den only 3'esterdny."
Too Much to Ask. '
"Would you advise n boy to study
the classics?"
"Yes. If hebns the time. But It
seems hard ts expect him to take
Ills mind off Vlint's going on right
now and go nVy hack to the fall of
Troy."
