the past into the dazzle and the noise
and the hurry of the present. But
yesterday we lived inside four sealed
walls, the hearth our earth, the fam.
lily our world. Today the door and the
window have swung wide and we

Thy world encompasses U.S."
These are the opening sentences OF

In it are also the following:
I'VE thank thee that we were born
in this day.
Help US to give back to the chill
dren who toll all the tender love and
all the fairy lore of their lost child
hood; it's green fields and sweet wa
ters, it's bright flowers and blue skies,
= its soft winds and warm sunshine,
dts golden sands and changing seas.
Help us to give back to the wom-
en- who sin all the love and honor Of
their lost womanhood, it's gaiety and
, security, its helpfulness and happiness
and peace.
Help US to open the hearts of all
good women to their new duty.
Help us to make easy the way Of
the working woman.
Help us to point out new paths of
service to the idle women"

Modern YOUNG Lochinvar.

A modernized version of young
Lochinvar, a IApache, is reported
from Poitiers, France. A young man
was in love with girl who did not
reciprocate his sentiments, and had
promised her hand to ''another." De-
termined that if she did not marry him
he would spoil her matrimonial
chances elsewhere, he decided on in
volving the girl in scandal, and man
aged to induce her to go for a motor
car ride with him. Once aboard the
car the chauffeur let OUT at full
speed, when the lady. perceiving it,
broke one of the windows of the car
in an endeavor to escape The chauf-
feur, thinking that a lovers quarrel
was in progress, calmly went on driv-
ing until midnight, when the party
reached POitiers. Here the abductor
repented of his rashness, and seeing
the girl covered with blood as the re-
suit of an injury sustained while win
dow-smashing, the hero of the adven-
ture calmly abandoned her, leaving
her to wander about the streets until
she was rescued by a good Samari.

In Ancient India.

A writer on Indian women Of 5000
years ago says that they were treated
with suspicion" and quotes from
Kranya Kauda to support his asser-
ton: women will continue to like
their husbands only SO long as they
are rich and influential; but the mo-
ment they are reduced in circum-
stances they will be abandoned by
them. Women resemble the lightning
in their waywardness, weapons in
their sharpness, and the high gale in
lnd;screet haste"

POSSE SEEKING MAN
WHO BEAT WOMAN
AT COUNTRY HOME
Residents of Alexandria
County Aroused Over
Brutal Attack.

Posses OF citizens today are searching
the woods in the vicinity OF Falls Church,
Va. for an unidentified colored man who
early Sunday morning broke into the
home Of Miss Ella Hall. on Halls
Hill, about two miles from Falls
Church. and brutally attacked her In
her bed room. ,,.
Feeling Is running high among the
residents Of Alexandria county. and It
10 more than likely that the man
would be roughly handled by the citi-
zens IL he Is apprehended.
Sheriff A. H. Barbor made an un-
successful effort to keep the facts In
the case secret. and this morning he
declined to discuss the attack on the
woman. He had attempted to get the
culprit safely in Jail before the facts
became generally known, but Miss Hall
failed to Identify any. Of the five colored
men arrested yesterday. and last night
II was decided to ask the washington
police. as well as the Maryland authori-
ties, to aid In the search.
Miss Hall Lived Alone.
Miss Hall, who is sixty-two years
old. is one of the few survivors OF an
old Virginia family. For many years
she has lived alone In the old homestead
at Halls Hill. which, for more than half
century has been her home.
About 2 o'clock Sunday morning Miss
Hall was awakened by an unusual noise,
She got up and made an investigation
Looking out of her bedroom window she
saw a man standing at the window d.
rectly below. She ordered him away.
but the man, evidently knowing she
was alone in the house, paid no atten-
ton to what she said, forced the win
dow open and went inside.
Miss Hail then lpckad haraalf In haY
bedroom. The intruder went upstairs
and commenced pounding on her bed
room door Miss Hall offered to give
him what little money she had In the
house IL he would only leave the prem
ises. The man replied that II. was not
to unlock the door, but this she re.
fused to do. A moment later he put his
shoulder against IT and the lock gave
way.
Pair Fights Desperately.
Miss Hall put up a desperate fight
when the man attacked her. She finally
was overpowered and was thrown &c
the floor. She became unconscious
When she revived she crawled to the
window and waited until pedestrian
went by.
The county authorities soon were
notified. and Sheriff Barber commenced
rounding up all colored men in the
neighborhood who could not give a good
account Of their movements Sunday
morning. Mrs. Hall, however. could moi
identify any OF them as her assailant
Miss Hall said she bit the man on the
hand. and the county authorities be-
lieve this wound may prove valuable
party. The authorities believe the col
ored man lived In the county and knew
> that the aged woman was alone In tht
house.
