American revolutionist, this man
appealed to the woman to protect
him. In such broken English as he
could command. hid by the dusk
that fell about the ship, the man
pleaded his cause. He told such a
tale of wrongs that she finally Ca
pitulated and consented to hide him
in the ships hold. Little realizing
the international complications
which hung upon her action, she
rested serenely in the conviction of
having done a good deed.
This conviction lasted, however,
no longer than the next day, when,
far out at sea, the hidden desperate
was found by one of the ships Off
GERS.
How did he get aboard?" was
the instant cry. That someone as
sisted him, and that consequently
there was actually a traitor aboard
one of the American warships, was
the immediate conclusion.
Then it was that the frightened
and shame-faced traitor" herself
appeared and told her story to the
officers.
This story, even though it involv-
ed the wife of an officer, was at
once sent on to Washington. Then
there was another outcry.
Miles and miles of red tape were
unwound. heated discussions at the
Navy Department were held and
finally authorities made the rule
banishing women from warships for
all time

Making Boys Loaf by Law.

Cedar Rapids Republican; After
the fourth of July every boy under
ID must become a loafer. He can
not Get work in Iowa. except on the
farm. This is one Of the worst laws
ever enacted in any state. The law
should have made an exception of
the three summer months, The
boy who spends his time loafng is
apt to be a boy started on the wrong
road. There are a hundred boys
under Ia years Of age who would
better be at work earning a living
instead Of compelling their poor
mothers to earn their living while
they are loafne. This law needs
amending and needs It at once.

AID Sense.

Here is an editorial from the
BrOckport IN. ~ Republic, under
the above caption, which ought TO
be suggestive reading for other pub
fishers, inasmuch as it offers them
a good argument to use with the
merchants of their town. The edi-
torial is as follows:
The following item appeared in
one of our exchanges last week: A
little boy wants to know if Presi-
dent Taft has gone to Europe He
says: When we had Roosevelt we
heard about him all the time, but
nobody talks about Taft. Isn't he
any good?"'
Nothing could be more applica-
bic to the matter of advertising
than the above squib. Our esteem
ed exchange failed to draw the les
son, but we wish to.
Everybody knows Taft; knows
he is as good safe and strong as his
predecessor. but the quietness with
which he has gone about his work
has eliminated him almost entirely
from public notice and the small
boy is led to ask: Isn't he any
gOod?'
Mr.. Advertiser, are you trying
to run business on a similar idea
viz, that people know you and
know that you carry as good goods
as your vociferous brother down the
street, Don't be disappointed then
when trade begins to 90 where
something is being said about il
all the time and people pass by
with only a casual glance at YOU
window, or with an ugly shrug O.
their shoulders, wonder what's the
matter with Jones. Isn't he any
good?" This is a very pertinen
matter and demands your mos
careful consideration. An ad. il
the Brockport Republic will MAKE
your name, and your business (
household word in the western
/ towns of the country. Isn't it wortl
the price?"

Don't Wait for It
To Kick the
Panels in.

Young man, young woman, have
you the money you need? If you
have not, how are your prospects
for getting it? Do you want a good
home, supplied with good books,
beautiful pictures, rich carpets,
warmth and light, education, whole
some food, social culture, pleasant
companions, broad development of
your faculties, to travel and see
some of the beautiful places of this
earth of ours, to learn about differ
ent people of the different countries;
in short, do you want to live a sue
cesSful life and enjoy it? If you do,
you must launch out, get up and
hustle and push, prepare to do
something the world wants done
and do it, do it better and do it
quicker than the other fellow: the
world is full of opportunities for
those who have the ambition and
are prepared to grasp them. 1t is
said that opportunity knocks at
every mans door, but you must not
wait for it to kick the panels in.
You must be ready to open the
door and grasp opportunity as it
approaches. Make a sacrifice, if
necessary, that you may give your
self the practical education that
will lay the foundation of a great
and successful future for you.
Thousands of young men and wom-
en- that were only a few years age
in the same position as yourself are
today cashiers of banks, owners of
progressive business enterprises of
their own, or holding high govern
ment positions; they are living the
life you would like to live, and the
life you can live. if you will enter
the Moberly Commercial College, of
Moberly. Mo-, and take their thor
ough practical courses of Book
keeping. Business Training and
Shorthand; they will give you the
education that will enable you to
hold good position and advance:
they will get the position for you,
if necessary. If you have not read
their catalog. write for it, it con-
tains 1888 pages explaining their
modern systems and superior meth
DDS of teaching the practical work
that the business world demands,
also indorsem ents and statements
from Graduates and their employ
ers. which speak for themselves.
What thousands of others have
done, you can do; a thorough bust
ness training in Americas Largest
and Greatest Commercial College is
none too good for you, and it is
worth making a sacrifice to obtain.

The little dreams of MaidenhOod-

AS tenderly as mothers would
The love of yesterday,
When little children grow to men
Too overwise for play.
The little dreams l put aside -

And yet, since moonblown buds
must hide
Before the MONDAY sun,

And give the key to none.

If some day in an idle mood
I, searching unaware
Through some closed corner of my

Should laugh to find you there.

Woman's Act Bars Sex From War
ships.


ships.
Boston, Mass, July 11.-Why are
the wives of American officers
barred from warships?
This question, which has puzzled
the fair sex for years, has at last
been answered by the wife of one
of Americas foremost naval Off
Saars. Mrs. RObley D. Evans has let
out the secret of the mysterious reg
ulation
That a friend of Mrs. Evans her
self is directly responsible for the
order which, with every cruise, sep
arates thousands of husbands and
wives, may be news even to those
Immediately connected with naval
affairs. Yet that such is the fact
is the acknowledgment of Mrs.
Evans.
Several years ago the Rear Ad-
mirals' ship was in tropical waters
on a neutral mission. While in one
of the tropical ports a wife of an
officer was seated on deck one
evening enjoying the balmy night
breezes when a man crept up out
Of one Of the companionways and
presented himself before her.

Also Known as "Nerve Tire"
and "NervOuS Exhaustion"

4A1A hSA
has, during the present generation,
come to be known as the National
Disease of America. So preva-
lent has it become that It is almost
an exception to find a person with
out it. 1t is usually found associ-
ated with nervous dyspe psia, which
is often the most prominent symp-
tom. In this age of hurry, worry,
hustle and the strenuous life in
business many people overwork
their v systems and put too
much strain upon them, which
eventually causes a partial or total
breakdown. Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey through its tonic and
rebuilding constituents will cure
these troublesome nervous COM
plants by supplying the system
with those vital elements which it
needs to bring about a complete
restoration to health.
The processes of tearing down
and building up are constantly
being carried on in the body, and
if nothing interferes with these
important processes health results;
but when something occurs to
check them disease is sure to
follow. Dufy's Malt Whiskey
overcomes the disease by stimu-
lating the heart and nerves, which
quickens the circulation of blood,
enabling the system to properly
assimiIate the food from the ali
mentary tract; also to adequately
eliminate from the system through
the lungs, pores, kidneys and in.
testines those waste products,
such as uric acid, toxins, etc.
which result from the disintegra.
ton of the old tissues of the body
and the decomposition of alimen
tum in tho %alimentary canal.
If you wish to keep young
strong and vigorous and have OF
your cheeks the glow of perfec
health, take Duffy's Pure Nal
Whiskey regularly, according t.
directions. 1t tones and strength

the entire system. 1t is recog
nized as a family medicine every
