FARMER PUZZLED BY
MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
Disappeared as MysteriOuSly as She
Came.

Burlington, n. j., August 31.-Tha
of a richly-gowned wo-
man and child, wrapped in blanket
and sleeping peacefully in Lis corn
field, gave Edward Marter, a farmer
and superintendent of the Odd Fell
lows cemetery, the surprise of his
life this morning. The case is mysti-
flying the local police, as the strange
pair disappeared soon after their
hiding place was found.
MarJer. who is a former Burlington
policeman, had been missing truck
from his farm for several days, and
had traced the thefts to foreigners,
but had been unable to identify them.
He decide to hide in the corn field
before daybreak, hoping to catch the
thieves. None appeared and Ma~ter
was returning to his home when he
was amazed to see the imprint Of a
womans sfoes in the field Follow
ing the tracks, he came upon what
looked like huge, bright-colored
bundle. He pulled back cornef of
the blanket and was dumfounded to
see the woman and child sleeping
beneath its folds
The woman awoke and sprang to
her feet, but when the farmer ques-
toned her as to what she was doing
there. she declined to answer. Think
ing that while on a journey she had
become short of funds, Marter prof
fered financial assistance, but could
evoke no response from the woman.
Hastily she awoke the child. which
was also well dressed and wrapping
up the automobile blanket, gave it to
the child to carry, while the woman
picked up two heavy suit cases they
had used as pillows and started for
the road
Marter could get no answer to fur
Their questions, and thinking his wife
might get some information from the
woman, he hurried to the house. but
the strange pair had disappeared
again almost as soon as they reached
the public highway Marter saws the
woman, who was person of undoubt-
ed refinement, appeared to be Labor
Ting under some great mental strain.

THE PREVENTION OF VAR

Quite a number of prominent ply
sicians in Atlanta and over the state
are discussing announcements cot
corning the first meeting of the Inter
National Medical Association for the
Prevention of War, which is to be held
in Paris next year and many of their
friends have been invited to become a
member of the association. DR.. George
Brown and his wife, of Atlanta, will
personally chaperone all of the doc
tors who care to go and will see that
themselves and their families are tax
en- care of. 1t viii be a delightful trip
and the Georgians who are going are
certain Of a grand reception in Paris
In speaking of the purposes of the
Association, DR. Brown pointed OFT
that the. cost of armed peace was 81
072 coo. 600 This is merely what 8
years increase in army and navy has
cost the American people. Less than
10 years increase, at the present rare
only, will absorb the price of the Pan
anna Canal, complete systems of deep
waterways, of national forests, of irrf-
cation for arid lands, and money to
pay the national debt. 1t is proposed
TO issue bonds to carry on such OF
these projects as the United States
feels able to undertake, while it pours
its treasure into the army and navy.
The country's defenses, adequate
before 1898, ar doubly adequate now.
why not let well enough alone, AM
buy something besides guns and iron
.clads?" declares DR.. Brown, no sane
man opposes adequate national d.
tense; we do oppose expenditures re
quired only by personal or national
ambi%on.''

NIGHT SONG.

(Regina,d NJ. Cleveland, Hampton 5
MagaZine)
Cleaning tire moon in its golden de-
Ginning,
Deep in t-a arms OF the clear Yves
tern skies;
Bright as the god in my loves tres
ses shining
And clear as her eyes.
Low is the whisper of night in the
grasses,
Endlessly, sweetly the niglt-things
rejoice;
Faint as tie sound Of her feet when
She pa sses
And soft as her voice
Sweet in the breath of the wind DER
the roses,
Warmly and softly it signs from the
South;
Warm as her breath, when my loved
one repOses
And sweet as her mouth.
