The Missing Word I

So Miss Charlotte Crane, has accepted
the courteous and pressing attentions Of a,
Fort Worth merchant and Is soon to be
a happy wife. We warmly congratulate
Miss Charlotte, and we trust that in the
CHEEKY radiance of her prospective Texas
home sire will speedily forget the intellect
Gus experience with the Charleston chap
erone. We have read Miss Charlotte's s.
telegram to her admirer accepting his lib
eral and flattering offer, and we are great
ly pleased with its frankness and fervor.
Miss Charlotte sent these words sizzing
over the wires: t-. ~.
b ''At last, yes, yes, yes. Now are you
happy?"
Happy? OF course, he was happy. We
think we know something about Texas,
and we are prepared to say that Immediate
ly on receipt. of this telegram oil Fort
Worth adjourned for a drink at the happy
mans expense. For all we know to the
contrary, Fort Worth Ia still drinking. But
there is one little thing about that .tele-
gram that worries us. Under the rule al
lowing ten words, Charlotte had another
word coming to her. What should that
word have been? Plainly, another "yes." :"
Then he would have been thrice and four
times happy" like the extravagant parties
in Mr.. IEirgils epic. But perhaps Charlotte
is coyly waiting to whisper that additional
"yes." Three of them were certainly
enough for present emergencies, and
there's luck in odd numbers, says Rory
O'More." Here's to Lottie and her happy
Texan, and, unlike Lawrence and his
Ethel. may they never get over it!-Chica-

most notable. Regarded with jealousy at
first by the military, it was soon solicited
to take control. 1t raised nearly ST 900 600
and applied more than $13,0O0,OOO of it. In
Turkey the Red Cross emblem found It's
first obstruction. The Turkish soldiers re-
garded it from a religious point of view,
and so strong was their prejudice that q
red crescent had to be substituted by that
society.
The latest display of the Red Cross work
has been in the Japanese army. How fire.
quently we heard it remarked that the
Japanese displayed such astonishing mercy
and civilization; that they are so quick to
adopt the ideas of more advanced nations.
etc. In 1886 Japan joined hands with the
Red Cross nations. Her ruler the mikado,
became a president of the Red Cross soci-
ETY. in civil capacity, and therein lies the
secret of Japans wonderful development
In humane ideas. She has been an apt
scholar, and deservedly received the COM
mendations of the world
Picture. If you can, the scenes that would
have ensued In this war In the absence of
the Kindness and mercy inculcated by the
Red Cross.
In our own country the war signal has
not been heard since 1882. when we entered
the treaty, but the elements have wrought

liable value Of organized. authorized, civil
aid.
Next came the Franco-Prussian war and
the Commune, 1S7O-1S71. In Germany more
than two thousand committees arose at
once, with central committee at Berlin
More than fourteen million dollars of
money was raised. Hospitals, hospital
trains and preparations on the grandest
scale were organized. France was not SO
we'll prepared but upwards of two million
dollars was expended and more than one
hundred thousand wounded were cared
for. Neutral societies also rendered great
aid.
One striking instance was that of IS 900
French soldiers who peacefully invaded
Switzerland in a famished condition, 10 per
cent of them being sick. Their every want
was provided for by the Red Cross of
Switzerland. The international committee
asked for and obtained from Germany
$500 incurable French soldiers, supplied all
their wants on their way through Switz-
erland and returned them to their homes.
The wars of 1S76-7S, involving Turkey
Servia, Montenegro, Greece and Russia,
furnished the next scenes of activity. The
work of the Russian Red Cross was the
