I BITS FOR BREAKFAST I '"For Romans in Rome's quarrel ' Snarpl TipJthpr land nnr troM Nor son nor wife, nor limb nor life, In the brave days of old.' That same Roman spirit still lives among the sons of Italy in these braver modern days. The glory that was Rome is Rome again in fuller measure. In this last tremendous shaping and rough-hewing of human destinies Italy has been assigned an important part, and she is filling that part, just as the spirits of her bygone heroes and the hearts of her oncoming allies expected of. her, with courage, confi dence and unswerving determination. ; ; J For the second time within the last nine months the massed hordes of the Goths and Vandals and the Huns have attempted to break through 'the lines of steel that keep from their covetous grasp the art treasures of the ages at Venice in Florence, in Padua and Milan ; that protect the homes of the peasants in Southern France from the talons of the baby-killers ; that save from pillage and loot and rob bery the rich agricultural plains of Yenetia and, Lombardy. This second attempt to overwhelm our brave and gallant Latin ally has turned out more disastrously for the polyglot troops of Aus tria than did the great smash launched against Italy last November. On that occasion the combined German and Austrian armies 'ad vanced their lines from the Isonzo to the Piave river. Tlii cne was not obtained, however, by straight fighting. ( It sprang from the undermining of the morale of the Italian Second Army on the Cenca Piezzo through pacifist propaganda sepread by Hun spies disguised as priests. So splendid has been the resistance of the Italian army, so great the havoc wroght among the massed forces of the enemy, so disas trous for the Central European Allies the effect of this costly failure on the civil population of Austria already in a state bordering on revolution, that from the historic Piave River may conceivably be launched the final blow of the allied friends of freedom ; and so to gallant Italy be afforded the place of honor in starting the final of fensive that shall sweep through Vienna and carry the Allied armies to Berlin. And such is the neat ambition nf th Italian iir are asking the support of their brothers in arms, with a prophecy of ending the war this year. Italy has suffered more, through her decision to battle with the , forces of civilization than many of her allied friends are aware of. For a long time short of raw material and the sinews of war, she Carried On an nnennnl .trtmnl. . - . . , . "fets' jfiiafc ii v i ivu (wwcriui antagonists. That was before the necessity of unified Allied command had been driven home to the statesmen of the democratic nations. But Italy never complained, never relaxed her efforts; and her reward came when America entered the lists and under her guidance the Entente CordiaJe became at last a real armed and solid alliance. We see the uuw improoaoie inurnment or Italy's hopes and sacrifices in the spec tacle of the Roman and the American legions marching side by side "UU1U" m uuumer xo xne last aecisive battle of the world.

But there are growing .indications that Germany will not have a great deal to say authorita tively in that conference. (Which Kueblmann foresees).

The governor of California In speech recently defined three kinds of traitors; one being the I. W. W. brand. ' r A friend at the writer's elbow says that if the I. W. W. were all the three kinds put together he couldn't be any more traitorous than he is. There 'was onee a very homely women who was said to be "as pretty as she could be" because, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't be any prettier than she was. The I. W. W.. try as he might could never possibly be anything worse than an I. W. W. SHOOTING STRAIGHT. The soldier of the American plains man ttype can not understand that sort of efficiency which permits the use of about a ton of ammunition to put a single enemy out of a job. He was accustomed to making ev ery shot count and if he had an au tomatic and a couple of clips of cart ridges there would never have been any Custer massacre. He is of the brand of the old fron tiersman who told his spouse that he guessed he'd go and get a gTizxly bear. The wife gave him one bullet for his Jong, muxzle-loading rifle, and when he asked for another she exclaimed: "Why. we don't need two bar." This idea of touching off a couple of carloads of shot and shell to let the enemy know you are coming Is not in accord with his concepts of the fighting game. He thinks If he had a modern ma chine gun and a wheelbarrow load of ammunition he could wipe the Prussian army out of existence and get back by milking time. Of course he is a bit of a back number, but there can be ro denying that the army that can ' shoot the straightest and conserve its muni tions best will make the strongest showing in the finals. Ammunition Is mighty expensive stuff, whether it is being bought for a Fourth of July celebration or world war. NO TRICK TO LIFT A CORN RIGHT OUT Rays There- U No Excuse for CuttioH Own and Inviting Lockjaw. Fore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn can harmlessly be' lifted right out with the fingers if vou will apply directly upon the corn a few drops of freexone, says a Cincinnati authority. It is claimed that at small cost one can get a quarter of an ounce of freexone at any drng store, which is sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain or sore ness or the danger of Infection. This simple drug, while sticky. dries the moment it Is applied and does not inflame or even Irritate the surrounding tissue. This announcement will Interest msny women here, for it Is said that the present high-heel footwear Is putting corns on practically every woman's feet. FIVE MILLION INSIGNIFICANT. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. J r The excuire for persecuting rail roads has always been government ownership; we have argued that if we had government ownership we should have lower rates and better service. Well, we have what amounts to government ownershop The service Is not better, rates are higher, and the government has already advanced tremendous amounts to the rail roads; the total sum would be start ling had we not become accustomed to great public expenditures In other ways. The money we have caused railroads to waste in combatting the mean, vicious and foolish legislation, properly expended, would have put the properties on their feet. All the public utilities have been attacked in the same way, and are suffering in the same way. It is proper to wisely regulate the public utilities, but we have overdone it; we are like the (From the Scientific American). One year ago the strength of the American army was 212.034; today It is 1.652.725. Our population is conceded to be 100,000,000 for pur poses of discussion. So in spite of the heavy Increase which we have scored for. our 'armies, we have put but 1.6 per cent of our numbers In uniform. T Yet we talk of supreme efforts in terms of a "gigantic army of five million men. .May we not well pause to realise that before we shall have equaled the performance of the thirteen orig inal colonies, we shall have increased this figure by half; that before we shall have put ourselves on a par with the beaten Confederacy we shall have doubled it? May we not give thought to the fact that in order to put forth an ef fort duplicating that of the North we must raise an army of thirteen and a half million men! It is absurd to look with complae ence upon the insignificant military aid which the average American has in his mind when he contemplates our share in the great war. There are plenty of people now living who fought in the Civil war; plenty more who lived through it. If we would but remind ourselves that before we shall have equaled the, achievement of their generation we must still put eleven and a half million troops In the field, perhaps we should look with less complacence upon what we have done, and with less misgivings upon the raising of the .next million, or the million after that IWSAiTISIID d t Twin tam . m U Cwb &A a 4 DIM tT ! va m, II M.S.Awyi flnBsnsjBSjj AMsMsssSsI wtmm mm, la yr W (fSv mmm4 Sii e ft W ar f u I mm.j lMuELaOLK me nocAitc POME TRUE BUY WAR SAVING STAMPS Lt night Am,ri,.n .oWier,. .Wpinf in tl .Isolation of Franc-, dltmed of TictOTJ-ot Amrty 7t X?Hl. of life to fight the Huu,.

A GEM OF A MAID The maid whom I had liked so well at first sight held her single reference out to m with pride shin ing in her eyes. I took It and drew from the envelope a sheet of note paper whose appearance betokened the belongings of a well-bred womna. I unfo!dtd it and read: The bearer of this. Katie Slovln sky. has been in my employ as gen eral housekeeper for a year. She leaves me only because I am com pelled to go South on account of ill ness. She is a good cook, laundress and general " worker, neat, strictly honest, willing and obliging. For a mistress who can understand her temperament she will make a most valuable maid. "SARAII S. CLARKE. "The Aberdeen. Tdesday. Jan. 1 2." I could read between the lines of this letter. I hsd dealt with many girls of Katie's type in my teaching days. I knew the childish temper. the irri tatting curiosity, the petty lealoussr. the familiarity which one not understanding would deem Im pertinence, with which I wold have to contend If I engaged her. But the two other applicants for my work whom I had seen, the half-drunken virago of yesterday, and the grim vision of today, decided me. I would try this eager girl it her terms were reasonable. "What wsges do you wish?" "Twtmty-flve dollars a month." Then she looked at me shrewdly. "Perhaps, bimeby. if I suit you. yon give me 1 28?" "Perhaps." I returned non-com-tnlttally. "You wish every other Sunday and Thursday off, I sup pose." . "Oh! yes. missis, if yon please, missis." "When csn you come?' fine langhed gleefully, displaying a set or beautiful white teeth. "Right now, tblsmeenlt. See 1 brought my work dfess, my apron, my cap. right here'j She lifted a bundle wrapped in paper which t had seen In her lap. "Yoo like me to wear cap? I look nice in cap." She smiled coquettishly. "Of course," I answered. "And t will give you a trial for a week. Yon may come uut Into the kitchen ow. and I will show von where things are, and tell yon about din ner." As I preceded her Into the kitchen I had a sudden qualm. I knew Dicky's fastidions taste, and that un derneath all his good natured nn conventionality be had rigid Ideas of his own upon some topics. I hap pened to remember that nothing made him so nervous, and irritable as bad service In a restaurant. Ills Idea or a good waiter was a well- trained automaton with no eyes or ars. How would he like this en thusiastic girl? , It was too late now, however. I was committed to week or her service. As we entered the kitchen I was again glad that before I left It the night before had put everything In order. I had been tempted to leave It In disorder when Dicky had made the scene about Jack's letter but my own natural methodical self had tri umphed over my emotions. I would have been tf lee humiliated If I had yielded to the Impulse to leave ey erythlng. Dicky had scrutinized It tn the morning, when my headache was so bad I could not arise, and now my new maid was look Ids 'l over critically. "Nice kitchen." she said smilingly. "Yes. and I hop yon will keep It looking nice." Her face clouded a little. "I al-ways keep my kitchen nice.'" she said seriously. I had read her correctly. I saw that she would be tike a child tn her resentment of crit icisms or suggestions, "Here are your cooking- utensils." Her race was a blank as she looked at me. "Thugs to cook with." I explained f might as well get into the vernac ular first as last, I reflected grimly. "Ob! yes, missis what your name? I forget what the letter said. "Graham. Mrs. Graham," I re plied. -Please call me thaL" "Oh! yes. Missis Graham, I find "em all. Yon Just say, Katie, here kitchen, her eookinr things, her dishes, here dining room, here meat, beg-e-tables dessert to cook. I find everything. I fix. If I bo If I no find. I ask." Her enthusiasm was grateful, bat her manner held something of ahoo ng me out of my own kitchen. She was evidently a most energetic per son. She had undone her bundle while we were talking, and produced very neat striped gingham working- dress, a gingham work apron and a white apron and cap. "lee. Missis Graham, I put on first iny dress, then my white apron and cap, then my gingham apron oyer alL If the door bell rings I snatch off apron so I then par lor maid. Where I change?" ah laughed gaily. "Right here." I opened the door of an unused closet, "Yon may keep keep your things here, I snail wa&t you to sleep at home. I hare bo room here," Her face fell, "I ran sleep out, yes. tf you nave no room. Ost I mo like to. I think yon nice lady. I like be all time In your hoes.' Maybe afvrr while roa gtt hlggcr flat room for me?" Terbaps." I answered saning She was really Irristlble. What yon want for dinner? Are things here?" "No. I shall hare to order them. I did not see the marketmaa this morning, for I was 11L We will have a small pot roast of beef Mr. Graham Is very fond of that -with a horse rid lib. sauce, potatoes cooked, with the meat, same sclnach. nof. Creamed, simply chopped, with plea- ty or butter and seasoning, and a lettuce and green pepper salad. Mr. Graham will make the dressing at the table." "No dessert tonight: Inst cheese and coffee. Yon do not want too much to do your first dinner. 1 will telephone for the things now." I. turned away. But she plucked at my sieve. "No telephone. Wait. Where the market?? I go get. Those gro eerymen they cheat yon when yos telephone, bo give nice ttl&r. c barge so-o much." Right there I decided to keep Ka tie if Dicky could possibly stand her. Perhaps I could tone her down. I had heard so much or the lazy, unln terested. extravagant mails of which some of my friends had been obliged to contend that Katie's enthusiasm charmed me.
