Noble women all over the land have prayed
and worked that Clara Barton might be
able to hold out until this great govern
ment commanded that peace should reign
and butchery cease. Many cried, How
long, o Lord?" But there are hundreds of
other heroines that the world knows moth

the natural burdens of wifehood and
motherhood, added to all the cares of busy
housekeeper, with a courage and cheerful

Cheers For the Flag in New Orleans

There were stirring scenes in the dining
hall of the New st. harles hotel yesterday
evening. A band was discoursing popular
airs while the meal progressed. Suddenly
it struck up "Dixie," and no sooner did
the familiar strains echo through the hall
than there was a storm of handclappng.
Then came THE Star-Spangled Banner"
Gracious! what an outburst of patriotism
there was. In an instant men and women
were on their feet applauding loudly and
waving handkerchiefs and napkins in the
air. A score of voices took up the refrain
and enthusiasm reached it's height when
a gentleman reached for his inside pocket
and whipped out an American flag, w-:zh
he waved around his head. The sight of
"Old Glory in miniature seemed to set
the people crazy. When the air was fin
ished there was a final round of approv-
ing applause, but 1t was some little while
before the hall resumed it's normal condi-
tion.-New Orleans Times-Democrat, April

In great distress he telegraphed to ST.

regard to the deceased officer. A wire

BOOKS AND THEIR MAKERS

some phases of bird life and habits not al
ways understood or agreed upon. Many
facts are given concerning the food of
certain birds, which should clear them of
popular charges against them for destruc-
ton of farm and garden products. The
economic value of the birds is fairly con-
sidered, and much interesting information
is given to show their claims upon man
kind. And not only are the commonplace
aspects of the bird question faithfully
treated, but a just measure of attention Is
given to the sentimental side, making the
volume exceedingly attractive and worthy
of a place in every household library.
