Resolutions Passed By The Woman's
Book Clab On the Death Of Miss
Mary Compton.


In the death of Miss Mary
Compton. our Oldest member,
the Womans Book Club has sus-
tanned a heartfelt lost. In the
earlier days of the Club. her
brilliant intellect and extensive
knowledge and culture made her
eyer a most valued and esteemed
factor in shaping the programs
and policies OF the work.
As the increasing weight OF
years debarred her from the ac-
tive responsibilities of the club her
words OF advice were ever weigh
~ and her voice potent in coun-
ell. AS an honorary member
her presence was a benedietion
and an inspiration. When it be-
came impossible for her to attend
except on rare occasions these
days were always marked in the
annals of the CLUB.
Her quaint sayings. her gra-
cious presence, her unique COM
ments on public events made the
days when she attended memoir
able. Her place cannot be filled
and each member of the club
feels IA personal loss.
a gracious lady of the old
school-there are none Of the
young gereneration who can dare
hope to approach her, but hei
memory will linger among US as
the breath of rar perfume.

QUICK THOUGHT, WITH NERVE
Incident That Shows Modern Young Man Is Quite Able to Look
 Out for Himself.

! certain literary man, possessor of the learned degree of doctor, used to take his midday luncheon at we'll known West End cafe :n London. One wet day the place was less fully at tended than usual, ard the miserable state of the weather induced most of the visitors to seek their various en- ployments as speedily as possible. While proceeding to follow their ex- ample. the doctor was astonished to find, in place of his shabby and beaten head covering. a styl- lsh tall hat, shining with sparkling brilliancy.
 He could only attribute this quasi magical change to the delicate atten- tion of some friend, and hastened to display the acquisition, with no little pride, to his family. The next day a young man accosted him at the cafe and politely remarked:
 Doctor, allow me to claim my hat and to apologize for the apparent mis. take. The fact was, however. l had 10 umbrella, and you had one. I did not know what to do to prevent my new hat being spoilt in the rain, and as I knew yours could not be made much worse than 1t is, I borrowed 1t, and now return it, with thanks .'

SAYS PATENTS HELP PUBLIC
Give to the Citizen the Right of En- Joyment of the Property of the
 Original Inventor.

A patent right is not monopoly within the true definition of the word, says writer in Leslies. It Is not an appropriation from the public do,hain of anything. Every invention is a new creation. It Is ap addition to the worlds knowledge and instrume- :, talities. It Is the sole individual property of the inventor, its creator. The public has absolutely no right in 1t
 In behalf of the public. however, the government seeks to make a contract with the inventor whereby it's citi- zens shall have the enjoyment of the invention at the end of the brief pc riod of F years. The right then is the right to exclude others from us ing. or appropriating. what Is, in the first instance, and continues to be, the inventors own. It Is the inven- tor that gives all that Is given The public Is the real beneficiary.
 It is because of this. and because the patent laws offer the inducement to the inventor to disclose his inven- tion, that the public has obtained the benefits and advantages that have pro ceeded from the development of tho arts and sciences under the stimulat- ing influence of these beneficent laws.

CHAPTER XXVi.

Though men may make jest Of it m books, it is solemn thing to kill man, even to be near when one Is killed. If Graeia had slain Del Key ferself in passion her hot blood might have buoyed her up. but now her whole nature was convulsed with he horror of it and she wilted like a flower.
 An hour before she had burned with hatred of him. she had wished him lead and sought the man who would kill him. Now that his life had been shipped off between two heart-beats she remembered him with pity and muttered prayer for his soul. For Hooker. for De Lancey she had no thought, but only for the dashing young captain who had followed her to his death
 Of this Bud had no knowledge. He realized only that she was growing weaker. and that he must call halt, and at last, when the walls of their pass had widened and they rode out into the open plain, he turned aside from the trail and drew rein by a clump of mesquit.
 Here, let me take you," he said. as she swayed uncertainty in the sad dle. She slid down into his arms and he laid her gently in the shade.
 Poor girl" he muttered, "it's been too much for you. I'll get some water. and pretty soon you can eat
 He unslung the canteen from his saddle-fap, gave her drink, and left her to herself, glancing swiftly along the horizon as he tied out their mounts to graze. But for her faintness he would have pushed on farther. for he had seen men off to the east; but hun ger and excitement had told upon her even more than the day-and-night ride

 He strode over to where Amigo had posted himself behind rock and laid hand on his arm.
 "Adios. Amgo," he said. but the Yaqui only glanced at him strangely.

 Well be going" Hooker said tc Gracia, returning swiftly. and his sub dued tones made her start She felt as one feels at a funeral. the lowering wings of death, yet she valted into her saddle and left her thoughts un- aid.
 They rode on down the valley. spur ring yet holding back, and tb en with roar that made them jump the heavy fauser spoke out-one shot! And no nore There was a hush, a long wait, nd Amigo rose slowly from behind his rock.

Belgian Economy.

Several Belgian cavalry officers were sent to a horse fair at Ciney, in the Ardennes, to buy ten horses at a cost of not more than A pounds each, They found nine horses the price of which was within the limit, but for the tenth 46 pounds was demanded.
 The officers thereupon sent tele- gram to the Belgian war office asking whether they should buy this horse and pointing out that if they did not buy it they would have to go to the next fair and the expenses for the ad- ditional journey would amount to 20 pounds. The war office replied. Com ply with your instructions" AS a re- suit they had to go to the next fair and 20 pounds was spent to save ! oounds.-7Brussels Petit Bleu.

SANTA WILL USE
MADE IN AMERICA
(By Associated Press.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 3O.-This will
be a Made in America" Christmas, &C
cording to the toy merchants, who are
now getting in their new stock. The
familiar little label MADE in Ger
many" is missing.
"All over the east the novelty fac
tories have started in to making toys
and dolls" said the leading toy de-
partment man in Atlanta today. THE
labor isn't as cheap as in Germany,
where children are employed, but the
workmanship is better and Americans
work so much faster and use machines
so much that the prices won't be great
ly advanced. The a money on a stock
that is made in America won't tumble
off after an hours play.
