And big bombs to throw mile,

And the foe his arrow drops

Every bullet means corpsel
We've whirling gun; you spin II
And the myriad bullets fly,
And hundred men minute
Roll their stony eyes and die.
''Malte your swath of dead men deeper"
Thus the modern spirit saith.
"Start me up this rafting reaper
On the harvest fields Of DEATH"
Lot us stop this wild deaths revel;
Martin Luther, so It's said,
Threw his inlSstaud at the devil,
And the black flend turned and fed.
Smite your world.wrong; don't combat it
with fusilade of lead;
Simply throw your inkstand us II;
Come tomorrow; 1t Is dead.
When the world upon the brink stands
or some crisis steep and dread
Like brave soldiers seize your tnkstands
Hurl them Mt the DEVILS head.

Till the strangling demon sink,
Till the struggling tiond abhorrent

For the man who's born fighter,
For the brain that's learned to think,

Placed meath errors strong foundations
Twill explode them to the stars.

UGLY GUM CHEWERS.

If Not So by Nature They Become So by
Practice of the Vulgarism.
The inquiry that has often been made
and never satisfactorily answered Is:
"Why is it that beautiful woman is
rarely found addicted to the gum chew
ing habit?" If she is, she certainly
never makes an exhibition of it in pub
lie places. 1t may be that she realizes
the fact that the process of mastication
does not enhance the attractiveness of
the human face, hence has the good
sense to take no chances of disfgure-
ment.
Anyone who will take the trouble to
observe will note that the gum chewer
is invaria bly, homely enough to stop
street car without pulling the bell. The
same rule holds good in every public
place where the gum chewing woman
is met.
Physicians have condemned the habit
as physically hurtful, but this has had
no effect in restraining the jaws of the
gum fiend. Perhaps, however, the
opinion very boldly expressed on State
street the other day may have a moro
efficacious effect. A couple of gentle
men were conversing when a we'll
dressed girl came tripping by,
"What pity that every ugly woman
who chcws gum can not be stricken
with lockiaw."
'Did you ever see handsome woman
chewing gum?"
"Come to think, l never did"
"How do you account for it?"
81 don't account for it, l only repeat
the fact"
This was a sidewalk opinion as to at
least one unfortunate homely gum
chewer. Chicago Herald.

"You did just right; have money; 1
shall be ready to go with you in a mo-
ment," said Adelaide, eagerly. She
was hurrying off when Alan stopped
her with: "Your father must not know;
Rob insists on that"
Adelaide looked at him bewildered,
for, strange as it may seem, the idea of
going to her father had never occurred
to her. She had always been so accus-
toned to both seeing and making his
way easy that she only felt now that
he must not be troubled with this
worst trouble of all.
When they were fairly started Ade-
laide said suddenly: 'You are so kind,
Alan. Let us take the very shortest
way" and then she said nothing more.
But her senses seemed keyed to the
highest pitch as she followed Alan

just such carelcssness.

nice and wear better than those that
are crochctcd. However, if you can do
no better, crochet them or make O little

Another very necessary article for o
small baby is pad made of two layers
of cotton batting between some thin
material-old swiss or lawn, if you
have it; cheese cloth if you must buy

which is pinned around the waist.
This serves to protect the 1annels of
the baby, and the dress of the person
who is holding the baby. Of course
this must be changed as frequently as
the diaper.
No careful mother will allow the
mattress of her child's bed to eccr get

cloth; over this lay blanket, then u

of these thin pads to lay under the
child. These are moro easily laundried
than all the bedding of the crib.
Never place heavy covering over a
little baby. Everything for the bed
should be light and warm. Soft blan-
