And as for the red hair

And as for the red hair
 Why, forsooth, let the father look III the historic records of the red headed.
 To say nothing of Rufus the Red there are Shakespeare and Napoleon and Oli- yer Cromwell and. Thomas Jefferson They had red hair.
 And if you go into the feminine class most distinguished women of history had flaming red tops-Titian red, at least Cleopatra and Charlotte Corday and Catherine of Russia and Elizabeth of England and Bernhardt.
 Martha Is right.
 Albert is red headed and warm hearted.
 He Is homely, but he has winning ways.
 Modern history has It's "children's cru sade"-the crusade of the children of Bel grade.
 Ages was warlke for the recovery of the holy sepulchre; the children's crusade at Belgrade was against war.
 Recently Austria annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina. The jingo patriots of Servia sent up a howl for war. Such war meant the ruin of Servia by Austria.
 The crown prince, the most absolute prince in Europe, celebrated the war spirit by getting drunk and flashing peo- pie in the streets with his whip.
 A hideous blood demand filled Bel grade. lsi1FlHH
 The people did not want war, but they were afraid to make a demonstration for fear they would start a riot and be cut down by the troops of the crown prince.
 The people there have learned that they have little to gain by political changes. and they are tired of being killed to please princes.
 It was the women who acted.
 They would not let their husbands be butchered without protest, but knew the swashbucklers would not hesitate to kill them also if they marched.
 But the children!
 Soldiers would not dare slaughter the children. And so the boys and girls were organized and drilled. Banners were made and lines of march outlined.
 On the very day when the crown prince made his grand-stand ultimatum, saying to the minister. Remember, you speak from 3oo.000 bayonets"-on that very day the children of Belgrade marched
 They came, from all directions into the great square. singing and carrying ban ners bearing the legend;

 But
 In that hour the war spirit of Servia was crushed. It has not been able to raise It's head again.
 All of which true and pretty story illus trates the Scripture that Out of the mouths of babes and stockings is ordained the strength to still the ayenger."
 Nodzu is dead.
 Do you remember himf
 Doubtless not, You ask, Who wan Nodzu? The name lacks even familiar sound. Certainly if he was anybody worth remembering, 1t would be unneces- sary to look him up in Who's Who."
 However
 Go back three years or so. Look up the newspaper files of that time You will read that Nodzu forced the passage of the Yalu, fought the fierce battle of Han shon, beating the Russians back
 Do you remember now?
 In the days of the Russo-Japanese war Nodzu was hero. The newspapers told
 about his "far-hung battle line."a and about his boyhood and his home life, and his sisters and his cousins and his aunts. Then, like a 0lZZy comet, NOu1u uIup- ped out of sight and memory.
 Well, for that matter
 Can you name off-hand the man who outgeneraled and outfought the Russians in those great battles on the Manchurian plains or the Japanese sea captain who swept the ocean clean of the Russian fleet?
 Honest, now, can youY
 Whether you can or not is of little mo- ment. If you remember the names right off you are an exception. Most of us have forgotten.
 And 1t Is significant that we have for gotten, because the world, like you and me, easily forgets the mere war hero.
 War Is savagery. The soldier is a butcher Dress him up in gorgeous trap pings; put upon him and about him all tho panoply of pomp and circumstance: even give him a righteous cause to fight about still he is only killer and man. gler of men. battlefield is an abat- toir
 For centuries the world gave It's favor able memory to the successful soldiers. Garments were rolled in blood to make these colossi: Xerxes, Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon. Great? Yes, but butchers all-
 We have fallen on better times. We put the war hero on his pedestal for a day; then we jostle him off, down to the level of peaceful days
 We are coming to esteem the patriotism of peace as higher than the patriotism of war We are putting down the killers of men and putting up the saviors of men.
 Nodzu made his noise and subsded. He strutted brief figure In the limelight and the curtain of forgetfulness cams down. He did nothing in time of peace to help men or educate or uplift them. He was logically forgotten.
 He who would live in the annals of ouf day must be more than an executicner.

Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.) IN fit of remorse because she had
 worked on Jewish holiday, Fannie Chanon, a young girl of Chicago, committed suicide.
 The spirit of Tom Kippur was In the air as bright-faced children 1ourneyed with their elders to the synagogues and temples and there prayed for forgiveness for their trespasses.
 But the Day of Atonement held nothing for the girl who sat in the park and said to herself:
 Their right is no longer mine. l have held aloof and will not be forgiven"
 Do you not go to shule, Fannie?" asked one of her friends of the girl in the park. The latter turned away with out answer.
 So most of the day while the people were in the synagogues, neither eating nor drinking, but praying until the dusk closed on the day of atonefent, the girl brooded in the park
 She thought of how, in far-away Po- land, she was taught the details of Jew ish worship and of how she had been spe- cially selected to light the candles in the old home of Friday evening and attend the shule and sit with the women of the synagogue of Sabbath morn.
 And then she remembered how, when Rosh Hashono ushered in the Jewish new year, instead of going to synagogue she had worked all day at the factory, where she sewed buttons on cloth.
 She had broken faith! In despair the poor girl left the park in the late afternoon. She sought her op- portunity and threw herself from tho platform in front of an elevated train and was picked up, crushed, bleeding. mangled, dead.
 single scrap of paper was found in one of her pockets. It said:
 'As 1t should be, 1t was"
 And this story of her-cruelly pathetic is here recorded because 1t gives one glimpse into the depths of human soul.
 You say there was not sufficient cause for suicide; 1t was all a superstitious fancy. this anguish that tore the Jewish girls heart.
 But
 Put yourself in her place.
 Perhaps you cannot. The faith of your fathers has lost its hold on you. Or, if not so, you cannot realize what the de- parture of a great faith may mean.
 Nevertheless, this is true:
 Life without faith is impossible
 Existence without faith is possible; but life-normal. abundant, high pur- posed and joyous life--without faith is im- possible.
 "As it should be. so 1t was.'
 That is a fatalistic sentiment; but Hopeless is that soul that sees no morning break with promise. that feels no pulsing thrill of joyous faith The poignancy of such hopelessness may not end in suicide-but it is the logical end.

DISAPPEARANCE OF LABOR
AGENT.

After receiving several Black Hand
letters threatening him with death, an
less he agreed to pay certain amount
of money, Andes Spsrti, an Italian labor
agent, with offices in Richmond and in
New York, has mysteriously disappear
ed, and the police can fud no trace OF
him. He ia believrd to have been kill
ed by members of the society Of the
Black Hand 10 New York, whittier be
went several weeks ago TO secure the
renewal of his license, leaving his Vir-
ginis business 10 charge Of his wife.
Some weeks later, when Mrs. Spsrti
hsd not heard from her husband, aud
her money was nearly exhausted, she
also left for New York, since which
time nothing has been heard from Der.
Her friends fear that she has also be-
come a victim of the Blsck Hand.
In November Sparti brought a num-
ber OF Italian lsborers to Virginia to
work in the Arvonia slate quarries.
The men went 10 Richmond, after
having worked in the mines for a
short time, and charged Spsrti
with having enticed them South, un'
der false representations. They said that
he had promised more pay thsn
they we're given and that his description
of the work was misleading. Spsrii
vas tried in the Police Court in Rich
moud, and later in the Hastings Court,
and a small fine vas imposed. As r
result of the trial his New York liceDte
was revoked
Just before his New York license 6as
taken away, Sparti received letter
signed with a black hand, informing
him that the society had taken cogni-
zance of his treatment Of the lsbOrers,
some of whom appear to have been
members of the society, and that ne
Woald bear from them. A week later be
received another letter from the same
source, telling bin ,hsl the s0cie y had
tried him 10 its secret court and had
sentenced him to contribute large
amount of money to the organization 10
for his treatment Of his fellow
countrymen. Death was the alierDa-
tive. Sparti defed the society, and his
friends believe he has been killed. The
police in New York have been asked to
investigate the matter.

To her surprise the voice of strange
woman was there and she was making

wife heard a conversation about as fol-

"Why, L guess So" said the mascu-

"About what time?"

"Come early, as my man is working

clan, and naturalist, hermit at times,
and sometimes active amongst the
most strenuous of the busy, gives an
illustrated lecture in the A. 0. .. w.

The lecture has to do with birds and
animals, which Mr.. Durward has per-

pictures he took; the lantern slides he
made and colored.
Mr.. Durward has pleasing and

For several months last summer he
passed his time at the family home in

romantic spot in the county, getting
in readiness the most unique lecture
that has ever been shown in this part
of the country.
He also has numerous other featu res

icitis was bowel trouble. When
an operation was to be performed there
was no relief from the pain as now.
For the surgeons knife to enter the ab-
dominal cavity meant death, not on
account of the operation but on ac-
count of the results which followed.
Anesthetics and antiseptics have chang
ed this. Dogs and people had hydro
phebia then but men did not know
that it was disease of the nerves and
especially sections of the spinal cord
and brain.

the plague, cholera and yellow fever,
