WHAT OTHERS SAY
CALLING OUT RESERVES
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
There is no confirmation as yet of
the rumor current in Paris a day or
two ago that Germany has summoned
100000 reservists to join their regi-
ments. AS this is an operation that
cannot be carried on in complete sill
ence or complete secrecy we may feel
reasonably certain that the rumor
was the coinage of some alarmist of
an ordinary newsmonger under the
necessity of sending something.
The calling out of the reserves for the
whole German active army would
mean that at least 100000 men would
have to leave their homes and ordin-
airy peaceful vocations and repair at
once to their regiments. Germany
manages such things as quietly,
smoothly and systematically as may
be, but 1t is beyond Germany's power
to blind all the eyes that are watching
its military movements or to deafen
simultaneously all the ears that have
been bent to the ground to catch the
first sound of the concentration of so
great a force.

now lie dead in the barrel. When the
Swatting Artillery wheeled into &C

charging up Butter Dish Hill as if

A picnic and corn roast will be the
features of the reunion which is to be
held by many members of the classes
Of 1872 and 1873 of the little old
brick school house at Bethel, Indiana,

modern school house. There are a
number of old students and teachers
who will gather at Bethel on this oc-
casion to recall old times and tell
how things used to be-" This is the
first reunion of the class ever held.
Three years ago the last reunion of
the singing school class was held, and
since that time there has been on an
nual gathering. A. L. Wiley, of Pitts
burg, is the prime instigator of the
coming reunion.
There are only twenty-five or thirty
members left of the old classes. In
Richmond there are just five, D. L.
Mather, Mrs. John w. Turner, Mrs. J.
H. Clements, Ezra Thompson and

MAKE HIGHWAYS SAFE
From the Philadelphia Press.

FROM the Philadelphia Press.
The striking of an automobile con-
tanning five persons by fast express
near Pittsburg with fatal results to
most Of the occupants is another aw-
full illustration oft he incompatibility
of railway grade crossings and auto
mobilese. They cannot exist togeth-
er without this constant peril and oc-
casional sacrifice of human life.
Probably one consequence of the
Pittsburg collision will be the elimina-
ton of this particular dangerous
crossing Of fifteen tracks with trains
running at high speed and at close in
tervals all the time, but it's abolition
should not have awaited this toll of
death. There should be statewide
movement for the abolition of grade
crossings. especially near cities where
trains and vehicles are both very nu-
morous and grade crossings are death
traps.

Why ShouldIU
CutiCura Soap?

"There is nothing the matter
with my skin, and I thought
Cuticura Soap was only for skin
troubles" True, it is for skin
troubles, but its great mission is
to b,svent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its deli
cate emollient and prophylactic
properties have rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme purity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan-
tages of the best of toilet soaps
It is also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy, and the scalp
free from dandruf and irritation
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making
its use, in practice, most econola.
ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth of these claims may
be demonstrated without cost by
sending to "Cuticura," Dept. M,
Boston, for a liberal sample

page book on the skin and hair.

Speaking of heroes
Note how John Grady of Nanticoke,
Pa, died.
He passed away singing in q weak
and faltering voice THE Top of the
Mornin'."
Nor was he intoxicated nor beside
himself. He was sober and in his
right mind. That a dying man should
sing the old Irish melody instead Of
religious hymn seems strange. But
Grady was an electrical worker. and
one day he was carried into the pres
ence of his mother with one leg and
both arms literally burned OF by a
current. In his pitiful plight he SUI
fered agonies beyond description.
But when he saw his mother he for
got his pain.
You see, mothers are just bound up
in their boys. 1t is the way of them
that when a son suffers pain In their
presence they suffer as keenly as he
does.
John Grady knew that.
And so. crushing back the pain that
was taking his life. he called out to his
mother to say that he was not badly
hurt. There is no cause for alarm.
mavoureen," said John Grady to his
little old Irish mother. And then
Seeing the look of maternal anguish,
he thought of his mothers favorite
song. She had sung it to him In his
cradle. Often they had sung it to-
gether.
To prove to her that there was no
reason to be concerned about him he
started to sing the old melody.
Trivial? Under ordinary circum-
stances trivial, but now it was the out
butst Of the hottest impulse boy can
know. Surely the angels in heaven
must have heard and changed that
roistering song into paean Of praise.
The song faltered-ceased.
Somehow Grady's voice would break
in spite Of him: the braye lips. witch

WHAT Is TRUE LOVE!

WHAT Is TRUE LOVE?
Love. which is the greatest thing i,

For instance
Love Is blind"
Love is not blind. 1t is acute and
open eyed. More than that. it has in

TRUE love is first love"
It may be. Often 1t is not. Usually

not last long. True love Is an out
gushing fountain that freely gives. l,

1t Is more than a mere sentiment I,
is mature affection.

TRUE love never did run smooth"
But it does usually. Why not? Tru,
