F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state

Who Buys Red Cross Seals?

In selling Red Cross Seals, looks are deceiying," says 6 we'll known Washington society leader, who each year has charge Of booth in a large de partment store. "Aristocratic- looking men, or elegantly dress ed women with diamonds on their fingers, buy five cents worth of seals, while little chil- dren empty their pockets of all their pennies. Only the other day a little boy came up to the table with his mother. 'Moth- CT, how many stamps shall l buy ?" he said. "As many as you have pennies for she told him, and he turned his pocket book upside down and gave for ty-fve.
 At one of the other stores. where the booth is near the door on the first floor, the little boy who leaves the evening pa per stopped to examine the pie lures hung above the Red Cross table. There was one of tuber- culosis children taken at the hospital which the Red Cross Seals help to support. Seeing some little colored children in the group, the paper boy asked: ''What are them smokes doin?' He was told that they were sick. Then, spying the seals, he asked what they were for. She told him they were to sell to help the sick children in the pie ture. Digging a penny from his pocket, he put it on the table and started to take package of twenty-five. He was told that the stamps were a cent each and he could only have one for a penny. Crest-fallen for only a minute, he took the seal and stuck it on one of his papers. Starting out of the door, he turned and said as a parting shot. ''The next paper l sell is going to bring two cents"

solitary climbers, who had slipped and
fallen or the lower slopes, and two
of them poor. penniless young Aus
TRANS who had thought to save a
guide by climbing the tracks of an
other party.
1t is a frequent occurrence in the
Alps to come across solitary climbers,
and that some live to tell the :ale is
due, in most cases, entirely to the
generous aid which guides and expert
enced mountaineers are ever ready to
give those in difficulties, and who
seem anxious to throw away their
lives.
Here is a case in point: Two friends
started on one of The most difficult
climbs in the Alps, and were very
much annoyed to find, on leaving the
hut at midnight, that they were fol-
lowed by solitary climber. This man
kept close behind them, and for a few
hours managed quite WELL but when
they were halfway up the peak in a
very dangerous part he shouted out
TO them in German that he was very
tired. They came down to him, and
as he was so obviously incapable of
going on alone. they were reluctantly
obliged to tie him on to their rope.
His fatigue, however, was so great
that they had TO turn back an hour
