WOMEN AND THE WAR.
Many Seeking Nurses Places to Be
Near the A1en They Love.

Near the Alen They Love.
1t is fact not generally known that
there are many women who want to go
to the war-or wherever the North Caro-
lima soldiers go.
Scores of them are writing to the Coy
ernof for appointment rs hospital nurses
and attendants. 4 few of them are pro-
fcsSional nurses who are willing to give
their skill To the State and its gallant
soldicry. Others are wives or mothers
who cannot bear to see husband and son
march away TO battle with no one TO
care for him sick, no tender hands to
staunch the flowing wound, no ear to
hear the last words or mouth to kiss the
dying lips.
Then there are othersyoung and pref

hearts in the ranks. They do not say as
much, but the thought Of being absent
from the one they love, ana he wounded
or sick. is more than they can endure,
and so they write asking to hc made
hospital nurses. No doubt could one but
read correctly what is between the lines
in many Of these letters he would find
many pretty romance.
While these good women are asking
what part they can take in the war. Il
New York newspaper very pertlnentll
ventures to recall TcnnysOn's splendid
verse depicting the service which gooo
women always have rendered and al
ways will render in times like these:
Thy voice is heard thro' rolling drums,
That beat to battle where he stands:
THY face across his fancy comes,
And gives the battle to his hands;
4 moment, while the trumpets blow,
He sees his brood about thy knee;
The next. like fire he meets the foe,
And strikes him dead for thine an'
thee.
