Get the kid out of the way!" yelled
a man. He's no good!'' and the women
shut their eyes.
There was a crash. The horse had
struck something and stood still; a po-
liceman caught him by the bride.
1t was hours before Crooksie showed
signs of returning to life. Then there
was a rushing sound in his ears, like the
wind in the pines; he was drifting some
where, and patches of red and yellow
light danced before his eyes.
He's coming round at last" said the
doctor.
Then Crooksie felt soft, cool hand on
his, and looked up, straight into the face
of the pretty lady.
The night lamp shed a tender glow
through the dainty room and rested low
ingly on the little bed.
Crooksie had never seen such a room
before. He tried to sit up, but fell back
with a cry of pain and lay quite still.
MY precious little boy" said the pref
ty lady. MY dear, brave little hero"
Crooksie's eyes had question in them
and the doctor raised him on the pillow.
Yer didn't mean meW he said.
"'Cause I'm crooked yer know, and
there amt any crooked ones, is there?'
Crooked what, dearY asked the lady.
"Herors," he said with an effort. lis

The big doctor laid him suddenly
down and walked away, but the pretty
lady knelt beside the little bed and took
Crooksies hands in both Of hers. Hot
tears were binding her, but to a woman

NOTEWORTHY ANNIVERSARY IN THE HIS.
TORY OF THE YOUTHS COMPANION.

With its issue of April 18th The
Youths Companion entered upon its
10Th year.
To commemorate this anniversary,
the publishers prepared richly print
ed souvenir illustrating the growth of
the nation and of The Youths Com
panion since the year The Companion
was founded, 1927 Perhaps the most
significant features of the souvenir
are its three maps. The first shows
the small section of the continent oc-
cupied by the United States of 1927,
when The Companion began life with
practically no subscribers. Another
shows the system of railways which
cover the United States in 1901, an
aggregate of 1S7,7 S1 miles, The
Youths Companion traversing every
mile of this system once a week. The
third map shows the number of sub
scribers to The Youths Companion
in every state of the union in 1901,
the paper being delivered every week
to $40, 342 American homes.

The decision of the supreme court
is that the constitution does not fol
low the flag. This decision, the most
important that great tribunal has ever
made, will be handed down next Mon
day. The decision is in favor of the
government, but by a divided bench.
There will be at least five individual
opinions, but some of these are con-
curing opinions, expressing the views
of the writer's more fully and partic-
ularly than is done in the opinion of
the majority. The court goes back
to the period in which the republic
was formed and the constitution
framed and endeavors to ascertain
what was the intent of the founders of
the nation.
The opinion of the majority of the
court disposes of the uniform taxation
clause of the constitution, which has
been invoked by all the appellants in
these cases in the following manner:
The trainers of the constitution, in
writing that clause, had no thought
of its application to territorial pos
sessions. No such question as is now
presented had arisen in their minds.
The clause which provides that all du-
ties, imposts and excise shall be uni
form throughout the United States,
the court holds, was placed in the
constitution as a result of the jeal-
ousies of the states which united in
forming the nation. 1t was intended
to prevent any state or combination
of states securing advantages over
another or others to prevent the ports
of one state gaining preference over
those of another in the importation OF
goods.
This rule of uniformity was made
primarily for the states united, the
court holds, not for territories then
possessed or afterward acquired. The
constitutional requirement is satisfied
as long as all duties on imports are
uniformly imposed at all the ports
throughout the United States. The
advantage of this uniformity may be
extended to territories and posses
sions not states and not members OF
the American union. but that is fol
congress to determine under the con
stitution.

THE SALESW0MAN
WHY 1T is SOMETIMES HARD FOR
HER TO BE PLEASANT.
A Clerk i'm a Minneapolis Dry Goods store
Tells How She Became Able to Per-
form Her Duties Easily.
From the Minnedpolis Journal

Have you ever stopped to think that
the position of a saleswoman in a
large dry goods store is a particularly
trying one? Working long hours, be-
ing compelled to stand most of the
time, and being expec ted to look
pleasant regardless of suffering which
she may be enduring, is it any wonder
that weak, nervous women find it i'm
possible to follow this occupation?
Everyone will be interested in the ex-
perience of Miss Nellie Nj. Tomlinson
of 311S Minnehaha avenue, Mime
apolis, Mimi, who is clerk in one
of the large dry goods stores of that
city. She says:
"When l was eight years of age I
had the scarlet fever and it left me
with weak kidneys and complication
of diseases. / was nervous and finally
became so bad that l left school and
did not go for an entire term. l had
headache all the time and was too If
ritable to talk with any one. The
least excitemnt seemed to make my
heart futter and q fainting spell
would follow. At times l became so
dizzy that l would have to sit down
until the feeling passed away. My
blood seemed to have turned to water
and / had no color whatever in my
face. l was mere skeleton and had
to lie down several times during the
day. l had one of the best physicians
in the city but he did not help me.
my parents read about DIR. vii.

one of our city papers and thought II
would be wise for me to give them q
trial. began to get better when
had taken the first box and by the
time / had used two and half boxes

my duties as clerk in a dry good:

CROOKSIB.

00E had never known any other
Ill name than Crooksie Peters, though
* there was a rumor afloat in the
tenements that he had once been called
Jerome, or Gerald-they had forgotten
Just which. What did it matter anyway =?
CrooSsie was far more appropriate, for
the only straight thing about him was
the pair of little white pine crutches.
His memories of home We're vague.
There was a misty outline of big, red
faced man, who stumbled in late, and
went to sleep in the broken rocking chair,
with his mouth wide open. There was a
woman, too. Crooksie was more afraid
of her. She had eyes that burned you,
somehow, and straight, black hair, with
gray in it. Nance, people called her.
Once the man went away, but the wom-
an stayed at home, and kept the door
locked and the old rickety bed against
II, too. One day, just at evening twi-
light-that interval of lull before the
noises of the night began, two horses
came down the narrow street and stop
ped at Crooksie's door. The windows
in the court were raised and grimy faces
peered out.
Crooksie didn't know just what hap
pened; but there was loud talking, and
then the door gave in, and two men car
ried Nance, kicking and screaming dowr
the stairs and drove away. And Jaki,
Bollinas had sat until dark on the curb
ing singing over and over, In a drowsy
monotone, "Crooksie's Nance has gone II
the patrol wagon! Crooksie's Nance hal
gone in the patrol wagon"
All this was long ago when Crooksi'
was only child. He was nearly II now

And what Will ye build 1t Off
Can We build 1t of marble. or brass, or
bronze,
Outlasting the Soldiers love?
Can ye glorlfy II with legends
As grand as their blOou hath writ,
From the inmosu Shrine Of tnis land Of thine
To the outmOst verge Of III
And the answer came: We would build II
Out of our hopes made sure,
And out OF orr purest prayers and tears,
And out of our faith secure;
We would built 1t out OF the great white
truths
Their death hath sanctlhed,
And the sculptured forms Of the men Ia
arms.
And what heroic figures
Can the sculptor carve In stone?
Can the marble breast be made to bleed.
And the marble lips to moan?
Can the marble brow be fevered?
And the marble eyes be graved
TO look their last, as the nag floats past,
On the country they have saved?
And the answer came: The figures
Shall be all brave and fair,
And, as BETTING, as pure and white
AS the stars above their gravel
The marble lips, and breast and brow
Wherein the laurel lies,
Bequeath us right to guard the flight
OF the old flag In the skies!
A monument for the soldiers!
Built OF a peoples love,
And blazoned and decked and panoplied
With the hearts she built II of
And see that We build II stately,
In pillar and niche and gate.
And high in pose as the souls OF those

How Flags Wear Out

1t costs money to fly even two small
flags every day in the year. The two
small ones on the east and west fronts
OF the Capitol. each about three yards
long, which is small for such an i'm
mense structure as the Capitol, fray out
so fast that it costs one hundred dollars
a year to replace them. They are
darned every day, and on windy days
probably two or three times. Even
with all the economies, one hundred
dollars worth OF fine wool floats off into
the air In such fine particles that never
a trace of IL can be found even at the
foot OF the two fagstaffs.

to him, and there had been a great deal
to do. There were babies to mind, and
errands to go, and ever so many other
things besides. AS for Nance, he had
never seen her again.
II say, Crooksie, does yer want ter go
out ter the graveyard tomorrow ask
ed jake Bollinas one evening. jake
sold papers and was authority on the
news of the day.
There's goin' ter be a big time out
there-bands playin', an speeches, an
real cannons, an everybody in their best
clothes It's Memorial day, for the
herors, yer know!'
whats them?" questioned Crooksie.
Jake scratched his head. The crown
of his hat was missing; that was con-
venient at times.
WELL" Jake answered rehectively,
"them's fellers what-what fights, or
somethin', an then goes an dies, an
every year the people goes out ter the
graveyard an takes flowers. an sings, an
prays, an gifts holerday. It's nifty.
Let's me an you CO."
The first ray of light found Crooksie
awake the next day. He knew just
where in a neighboring court a milkweed
had opened some fuzzy yellow blossoms,
and the heroes should have them, every
one.
1t all seemed beautiful out there in the
cemetery. In the tenements death meant
black box for those who went and a
| black bottle for those who were left be-
hind But this little world of grass and
sunshine where the birds sang and the
flowers bloOmed was different.
The exercises had already begun, and
the eager. surging throng pushed and
crowded on its way to the soldiers plot
Once the boys were pressed almost under
the feet of big black horse.
The lady who was driving drew the
rein sharply and stopped. The boys star
| ed hard at her.
"Ain't she a pretty one, thought
whispered Crooksie, and Jake nodded.
"Surew he said.
There was something in the little ben
figure, and the pinched, pain-scarred fac,
of Crookse that touched the pretty lady
for she leaned suddenly toward the boy
and smiled.
Wouldn't you like to ride?" she asked
Crooksie's heart gave a great bound
and then stood still. He had never rid
den in all his life; but now something
was choking him. He shook his head
and the lady drove up the hill alone.
The morning wore on and noon came
; Children grew tired and cried, with thei
little faces hidden in their mothers
skirts, or went to sleep on the green turf
Women sat singly or in groups on tn
copings and ate sandwiches and boile
eggs. Thus does life assert itself in tn
presence of death.
At last the memorial address was ovel
and the heroes below the Stars an
Stripes slept under a quilt OF fioweri
The volley had been fred, and the car
; mons deep-mouthed cry went echoin
through the hills.
Then there was a terrified shriel
