old house she pretended to be very gay
and hopeful before her old aunt. But
at heart she was most wretched. She
had been home three days when she got
a call to teach. The regular teacher had
gone home ill and she could have the
school for the rest Of the year at 50 q
week. Hulda had once taught term in
that very school and she shuddered at
the thought Of going back to it. But she
wrote a letter OF acceptance and started
to take it to the post Office On her way
she met Carolus Keene.

but since I've met you I'll walk with
you. It's only a question have to ask

word made her remember her letter. She
looked down at it and began to tear it
slowly to pieces.

THE EVENING STORY.
A Green SChooIhouse.
Copyright. 1914, by W. Werner

Huda Winn knew something OF what
awaited her before she went to Aries.
Miss LennoX had told her. Miss Lennox
had taught the advanced grade at Aries
for four years and she understood things
pretty thoroughly. When she met Hulda
at the teachers association and learned
that she had signed for the first half year
as teacher of the primary grade she
seemed to feel it necessary to enlighten
Hulda about Aries generally. And Hulda
was willing to be enlightened. Aries
was her first big school and she was
going to it in fear and trembling.
EIulda had taught ten years in out-of
the-wsy districts. All about Westmore
the narrow brook threaded cloves among
the looming hills. and in each Glove is
schoolhouse where from September to
June of each year some girl teacher
patiently tolls to further the great cause
of education and earn competence for
herself Fi2ht-nine--ten dollars a. week

learning receive. and they work hard for
it, too often upon very indifferent food
Hulda had worked very hard: She had
never had any confidence in herself.
She realized frankly that only necessity
made her teacher at all. But such as
she was she must keep on until after the
stipulated term of service she could re
tire upon Il pension to endure her old
age as best she might

Jimmy uptoed softly over to the big
piece of bark, and then as he made
ready to turn it over he began again
that foolish little verse.
Beetle, beetle. smooth and snug
You are nothing but bug!
AS he said the last word he suddenly
pulled the piece of bark over.
Who's bug?" asked a funny voice,

that there were more if he could find

have said so for the world. His sharp

The moment you feel dull ache

later filled our institutions as victims of
mental and nervous diseases could have
been saved if their parents had only be-

twenty years that the up-bringing of chill

was peevish and irritable nor for the
one who was afraid of the dark. or was
naturally unsociable, absent-minded mo-

boy or girl who was dishonest or i'm

Russian general advance, both on Aus

A big cavalry engagement OF the

NO MORE THAN JEWS
RIGHT. SAYS STRAUSS

New York, Aug. 24.-Nathan Strauss
discussed freely yesterday the report
that Car Nicholas ii has promised to
grant full civil and political freedom
to Russian born Jews.
TT Is a fine thing, II true said Mr..
Strauss. on the porch of his summer
home at Oriental Point. Mamaroneck.
Russia seems to be coming to her
senses at last. The Jewish people
have never asked for anything more
than the right to live in their native
country. All they have ever wanted
as citizens and their patriotism in
times of stress to the empire.
Il am against war in any shape or
form. but some times war is neces-
sary to right a great and permanent
wrong. 1t would seem that the pres
ent war has succeeded in giving to a
people their undoubted and inalienable
right to life. some measure of liberty
and the pursuit of happiness in the
land where they happened to be born.
The world Is surely moving with
Ireland and Poland to get home rule
and the Russian Jew his right to his
share of civil and political indepen-
dence.
II am one of those who has thought
and still thinks that the car Is a
victim OF circumstances. He has been
surrounded all his life with reaction
aries Of a violent and implacable type.
Only news that was most pleasing to
him was ever allowed to get to him.
And now when the Russian Jew Is on
the firing line and ready to give up his
life for his country, the car sees the
errors of his past administration and
agrees. as l hope. to give these people
partial liberty. Why wouldn't he?
II have a friend who knows the
car personally. He tells me. that he
is a kindly man. with a disposition to
do kind things. Misinfornhation,
think, is responsible for the position
in which the czar has been placed at
different times since he assembled the
throne. But now THAT. at last. he de-
sires to do the, right thing. we should
be ready to forget some Of the things
that have :blighted mis- reign, and give
him full credit for good Intentions

DRY GOODS IMPORTS
SHOW GREATEST LOSS
Reflects Paralysis Of Shipping
Better Than Other Lines,
Which Also Suffer.

New York. Aug. 24.--Imports of gen.
sral merchandise here for the week
ending August Is were valued at $14,-
25a,22 compared with $12,419,7S3 the
week before and S15,639,14O two weeks
ago. Included in these imports are
t271, 039 worth of precious stones and
jewelry. Imports OF dry goods for
consumption totalled $1,3S9,257, silk
entries being appraised at $470,726. The
week before these entries were valued
ut $25.496,490 and at $2.275,777 in the
corresponding week last year.
Significant as rejecting the paraly-
sis Of shipping following the outbreak
Of tho European war Is the fact that
the dry goods entries here for the week
of August Is were less by $1,107,233.S0
than the preceding week. The brunt OF
the tie-up appears for the week to have
fallen on dry goods as imports in other
tines show no such proportionate de-
crease.
