when an army moves out from large

From the days Of the Montezumas,
Mexican women, have borne their part
in war, and Mexico cannot imagine an
effective army without its array ow

for the army's food and cook It. They
carry water to their men on the bat

the wounded have; frequently they

brave, patient, hard working and faith

wives Of the men they accompany;
more often their relations are for the

60 or more-the older women being,
usually, the mothers Of; conscripts,
who elect to follow their sons to the

It may seen strange that women in
such numbers undertake the dangers
and hardships of a campaign, but life
is cheapIy held among the lower class

dead on the battlefield and pick up
what they can on the march. A
woman cooks for her own man as a

YOUNG GIRL ASSAULTED AND
TOMAHAWKED
Akron, o., Sept. 29.-Police and
detectives working all night on the
mysterious murder of Winnie Becker,
young and pretty girl clerk IN a
Bartges street tea store, had failed to
solve the crime early today.
A customer who entered the tea
store late yesterday found the girl in
an adjoining room with a heavy
Ratchet imbedded three inches deep
in her skull and suffering other
wounds, but still breathing.
Detectives investigating the muir
der room today found a crudeIy-
constructed wooden tomahawk. The
blOOd-spattered weapon was held to-
gether by nails, while the edges had
been. Whitfield sharp with a knife.
This, detectives say, evidences that
the crime was premeditated and pre-
sUmably the work of fanatic. The
murderer had hacked his victim with
the tomahawk repeatedly, as shown
by bruises on the body.

For the first time in months Stuart
thought that perhaps he did not place
sufficiently high value upon his wife
when his attention was attracted to
the other side of the choir loft. Some
thing unusual was going on there ap
parently.
John Crayton and Marian Griffin
were seated together. and the soprano
was so interested in what CaytOn
was saying to her that she failed to
note the gaze of the bassU.
Marian had known CraytOn for a
number of years. but had never looked
upon him as sutton
And now as she felt his breath upon
her cheek. heard his earnest words.

cast down her eyes until their long

over her face.
The tenor seized her hand at the con

was rewarded by sIieht-a very
slight-pressure. which told him that
he had not pleaded in vain
Then it was that Stuart placed his
great hand upon his wifps arm and
leaning toward her. whispered gently:
"My darling. realize now that |

In the eyes Of the contralto bright

Next to the Easter eggs the bunny
maintains its place as the star Easter

ny came to be associated with Easter
one looks away back to antiquity. for
the hare or rabbit has had unusual
significance to many peoples.
In ancient mythology the hare's con.
nection with the moon was we'll estab.
lished. Hindu tradition tells us that
while lndra was dying Of hunger the
hare threw himself into the fire in Or
der that the god might be provided
with meal
For this sacrifice he was translated
to the moon by the grateful Indra. In
Buddhist legend we again find him sac
rifcing himself In order to provide food
for the hungry. Here again he was
translated to the moon. where the Hin

In Morse mythology we had bunny
figuring as the train bearer and light
bearer Of Freyja. the goddess of the
moon. and also identified with the Ro-
man goddess Venus. whose festival
was held at the beginning of April.
Freyja has also been identified with
the Anglican goddess Eostre or Ostara,
from whose name we derive our pres
ent term of Easter.
Ancient records will show that in the
seventeenth century no Englishman
thought his feast complete unless on
Easter day he ate fine big hare killed
for the occasion.
The hare by reason Of its connection
with the moon became in a sense the
herald Of new life. the springtide
