ENTITLED TO SYMPATHY.

Everybody must agree that Miss
Helene Wenton, of Patterson, n. j.,
is entitled to sympathy. She was
one of a party entertained by Miss
Harriet Condor. When cake was
served Miss Wenton was given a dog
biscuit. Not being one of those dear
ladies who center their affections up
on canine pets Miss Wenton did not
know a dog biscuit when she saw
one She supposed the cake was
merely a remarkably stale specimen
of her hostess culinary art and, so
as not to embarrass her, she ate the
cake to its bitter finish, even break
ing a tooth in the operation. Not un-
til she had swallowed the last crumb
was she enlightened, and then only
by the hilarious laughter of her sis
ter guests and the hostess.
Now she has brought suit for dam
ages, based upon her humiliation and
her broken tooth. Who can blame
her?

when few days ago he engaged an
artist TO design the back of the notes,
which will be the same for all de-
nominations for all classes of bills,
advanced to the final stage of prepa-
ration. The artist has already sub

This design is symbolic

Heart To Heart Talks

He who is too rich to sit by his
kitchen fire and who is too poor TO
have one each alike has lost q pre-
cious strain of life's remedy.
Homel
In every living, breathing thing
that God has made strong in COM
polling power is the homing and the
nesting instinct. But
More than mere interest of shelter
and of rest enters into the making
of a human home. A home is a
center. 1t is the one spot in the
whole universe. Draw about it all
the concentric things you like, but
there it always is at the heart of
things-the center of all.
Home is more than place of COM
fort.
1t is the treasure house of life's
dearest riches.
Sentiment clings about it. Absence
from it only makes the heart grow
fonder. Wander where you may, al
ways do your thoughts turn toward
your home In all the desert of life
it is the one oasis. In all the ocean
of life it is the one sure anchor.
Inconsistencies?
Least of all feelings to be ashamed
of it betrays no weakness of mind
or heart. 1t is one of the noblest
emotions that has ever stirred hui
man spirit.
What makes a home?
Not four walls nor sumptuous ap-
pointments. 1t is the home spirit.
Where that abides is home. Be
cause
Like heaven home is not so much
a place as a state of being.
Where the spirit of the home is,
whatever the surroundings, whether
that spirit abides by the parlor crate
or by the kitchen stove-there is
home.
The spirit of home!
How gently it touches every home
ly thing and makes it dear How
it soothes the hurt made by the world
outside. How it steals away the
sting of outrageous fortune. A home
is more than hospital.
Your home!
In what other safe asylum do you
find your better self? Where else
may you be left to dream your sweet
dreams? Sitting by your own
hearthstone you know all that is in
innate and dear to human living.
You are in your true environment.

WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.
d This and Call Selling of Red

in order to avoid confusion and to
keep any one from mistaking them
for postage stamps.
At present the work of the asso-
citation carrying on the fight against
tuberculosis is focused largely in two
kinds of preventive work. One is
the treatment of children. The other
is the segregation of advanced cases
of consumption. 1t has been estimat-
ed that 80 per cent of the children
in an American city are infected
with tuberculosis before they are ten
years old. At this age tuberculosis
is easy enough to cure. If these chill
dren can be cared for while their dis
ease is still in the incipient stage
their health can be saved. AS for
the treatment of consumption in ad-
vanced stages it is being more and
more strongly realized that, whether
or not there is hope of their recovery,
men and women who are suffering
from consumption must be separated
from their families and neighbors to
prevent the spread of the disease. 1t
is for these two purposes that the
proceeds from this years sale of the
Red Cross seals will largely go.
1t is one of the rules governing the
sale of the Christmas seals that the
money brought in by the sale must
be used in the neighborhood where
the sale takes place. There is no
general fund in the Golfers of which
the Red Cross stamps send their pen

the merchant that he could not pay

to the suggestion. A little later the
merchant walked into the postoftice
and there was his customer buying a
money order, which was going to
far-away mail order house for arti-
Giles which the merchant here had for
sale. That customer was thus showing
himself unworthy of further kind
ness. How many other people around
here have done that way? The mer-
chants and the customers interests
are mutual, and they should both so
deal with each other. Let's build up
our own home interests"

Cherish your home, however rich
it may be, make and keep it what it

Gary, Ind, the steel city, for the
first time since the fires were start
ed closed down its mills on Sunday,
October 20 last, to pay tribute TO a
dead crippled newsboy.
Greater homage could not have
been paid a national hero than was
accorded at the bier of William Rugh,
who died penniless at the hospital.
Flags were at half mast, the city
council composed the pallbearers, and
large sum of money has been given
for a monument.
Why?
Il is no ordinary thing when d
whole city is lifted 70 such an APP
probation of a life that has freely
given itself for another.
The world knows the story.
Ethel Smith. a young girl, was so
severely burned the doctors said she
must die unless a large amount of
cuticle could be grated in the burned
places.
William Rugh, brave youth who
conducted a news stand, offered his
crippled leg for the purpose. The
skin was to be stripped off and then
the leg amputated He was warned
that the results might be fatal.
whats the Odds" he said, eff
it will save the girl. The leg is not
much good to me, and l have no
friends to worry if l should die. p"
And
In the hour that Miss Smiths life
was declared to be saved the news
boy died.
The message came to him just be-
fore he passed away, and his last
words were:
Tell her I hope she will get well
quick. doc. I'm glad l did it,
He smiled and was dead.
William Rugh when he made his
offer had everything to lose and
nothing to gain. He did not know
the girl personally. And by his death
he set the seal of the last full meas
ure of absolute self sacrifice.
That's why the Gary mills We're
closed.
What money could not do Grip

Heroism is not dead.

things, but in the hearts of our peo-
