An interesting case went 10 q Bos'

An interesting case went 10 Bos-
ton court the other day from All
apar,ment house on Beacon street,
in the exclusive aud very swell Back
Bay district. A family who rented
apartments in the building sought
to have their lease annulled, on the
ground that the place was infested
with those creatures which. having
no wings at all, get there al the
,ame. Owing 10 the presence of
these permanent dwellers, said the
lessee, his family's peace and com.
fort had been destroyed I; both sleep
ing and waking they were annoyed
and they could not find rest under
that roof. But the court declined
to relieve the house. holder from his
obligation. "'rhe bed-bugs 60 will

dered tue unhappy householder Il
pay the rent. an appeal has beer
taken.

A Warning.

The St. Louis Advocate gives out
this timely warning 10 the many
country girls who are being at.
tracted to st. Louis at this time by
the many advertlsemen,s appearing
in the papers offering ready en-
ployment and good wages to be
obtained during the Worlds FAR
which opens there this Spring:
1--WE would be very glad to i'm
press upon our brothers of the
country press the great dangers
that lie IN wait for the multitude
of young girls that are flocking to
st. Louis, and notably at this time.
The country press is a power for
good, and if they would keep this
matter before their readers. con-
stantly warning all as to the open
door to ruin, many might be saved
who else were lost. The gateway
to 81. LOUIS is the great union de-
pot, which is beset with a thousand
enares for unwary feet. ANY
young girl who comes through the
gates into the midway Is at once
spotted, aud If it be possible the
snare will be spread in her path
she cannot escape. No girl should
come here unless absolutely certain
as to her course. The many tempt
lug advertisements are often mere
bats for ignorance and innocence
And if she comes to the city ready
to enter the first carriage whose
driver proposes to take her to q
good cheap boarding place, or te
accept the first situation offered
where ''no experience is required, >
she may as we'll bid adiea to 'nno
ceuce and hope when she leaves
home. And as a matter of course
the young man is almost equally
exposed as far as moral or even
physical safety is concerned. II
the country papers will only keet
these things before their reader'
they will serve God aud human
ity."

OLDEST ARMY MARCHING TUNE.
"The White Cockade" Played Before
Americans in 1775.

It is the old music, after all that
puts the life into marching feet, for
it carries the traditions of marching
in it's melodies One of the Oldest OF
the tunes was The White COckade.'
This is a historical melody to Amer
leans, though many Americans may
not be aware of the fact. 1t was the
tune to which the farmers who fired
the shot heard round the world
marched when they determined to
force the passage of the bridge at
Concord Possibly it was the only
tune which the drummer and tiior OF
Capt. Isaac Davis company knew, but
the fact that it was played is histo-
rical. The popularity of the tune IS
proof that a melody made for one par
ty is recognized as good by all II 1t
has the quality of being singaGle. The
White Cockade" was originally ia
cobite tune, but it made good march
for the descendants of the English
Puritans, April 10, 1915, when Capt;
Davis made his musicians strike up.
As they were the first American force
that ever advanced to battle as Amer
leans, The White Cockade" is the old
est melody of the American army
