WAR AT HOME.
Greater Sufrerings Endured Than at til,
Front.


| Front.
Are there any greater hardships
than those endured by our brave boys
at the front?" asked the speaker.
well, I don't know" replied the de-
mure little woman in the back of the
hall. Were you ever in a house where
four boys between ten and sixteen
caught the martial spirit, mounted
guard eight times a day, and made it a
point to charge on the cook at least
twice? Did you ever note the enthusi-
asm with which four boys can enter
into the spirit of military operations
and patrol the front of the house,
insisting upon the countersign when
callers arrive?'
Madam" broke in the speaker, T
assure you Il
Did you ever come home from a
shopping tour" she persisted, "and find
the baby in the guard-house, yelling it.
self hoarse, while four boys held a.
council of war to decide whether it
should be shot or hung?"
AS | was about to say, madam.
Did you ever return from a short
call at a neighbor's to find the front
door barricaded and gimlet holes bored
In the hardwood panels in order that
the approach of the enemy might be
easily detected?"
Madam, l cOncede-"
Did you ever have your front norcb
mined, and the mine exploded Just a.s
you We're welcoming a maiden aunt
VINO Is expected to leave you quite a
nttle money, even though It is we'll
known that she has an antipathy for
children and never has quite forgiven
you for having so many?"
There car be no question:
Did you ever have a new sheet torn
up to make hospital bandages and
three yards of colored silk cut I'D into
signal flags? Did you ever have a
flower garden ruined because if was
deemed necessary to throw up fortifi-
cations where the flowers happened to
be? Did you ever have a whole new
clothes line cut up into short pieces
that could be used to securely bind
prisoners of war? Did you ever have
your barn carried by assault, one of
your horses SO frightened that it was
four days before it was safe to drive
him, and your coachman tripped I'D
and thrown down a eight of stairs be-
cause he foolishly attempted to check
the invading force? Did you ever
Madame" broke in the speaker at
last, Il never did. If I had l wouldn't
have spoken as L did now publiclv
concede that the sufferings in the field
really amount to nothing compared
with what this war has brought upon
some OF those who have remained at
home. .'-Chicacgo Evening Post.

George Saxton, brother of Mrs. William
M cKinley, was shot and killed last week
Friday evening in Canton, O., on the steps
of the residence of Mrs. Eva b. Althouse,
where he had gone to make a call. Mrs.
Anna George, the divorced wife of Sample
G. George of that city, was placed under
arr est charged with the crime. A dispatch
says:
Her divorce was obtained in Dakota
and proceeding later filed in local courts
by the husband against Saxton, charged
that Saxton had sent her there to secure
the divorce. This case was settled on
Wednesday, Ssxton paying George 81 1925

been sent through the mails and the fedora

the mails. Mrs. George gave bond, and

alive.

Terrific Thunder Showera.

Although rainfall is infrequent up
on the expanses Of the plateau in sum-
mer, thunder showers of terrific vio-
lence sometimes sweep across them,
ANA L know of no more severe test Of
serenity of spirit than to face one of
these in its unmitigated violence. II
there were but rock or tree or bush
, '-hder WHICH you could secure at least
the moral support of a shelter, the
strain would be less severe. But YOU
may summon fortitude at last to face
the rage and fury Of the wind and
rain, and even to exult in the flash and
roar and clatter of the bolts which fall
in quick succession all about YOU.
when the demon of the storm Is once
in possession you lose all thought of
danger, and are fairly regretful when
at last, with a sudden swish, the last
pulse of the down-pour sweeps by, and
the black chaos goes roaring off. .sq But
when, as not rarely happens in these
violent showers, out of the seething
alembic monstrous hailstones are hurI-
ed down upon you, neither serenity nor
bravado Is of much avail. You get
black and blue welts upon your back
and shoulders just the same, and your
horses go wild with the terror and
pain of the fiendish bombardment-
These hailstones are often from half
an inch to an inch in diameter, occas-
sionally as large as hens egg. And
l have assisted at one of these way-side
dramas-my head and shoulders under
a saddle which a relenting fate had
thrown beside me on the ground-in
which the larger missiles measured be-
tween three and four inches in their
brutal diameters. But they lent en-
chanting beauty to the scene as, few
minutes later, we crunched our rueful
way over them sparkling in the SUM-
