Women offered Services.

Toxic, Oct S.-One hundred wo-
men shell divers of Shima province
offered their services to the navy to
clear the mines from Kiao-Chow bay.
The offer was declined by the navy
as the law prohibits the employment
of women in warlike operations.
These divers are accustomed to
remain in the water for long
period. Their idea was that, un-
seen by the enemy, they could dive
for the mines near Kiao-Chow and
remove them to the Japanese war
ships.

the court of his impartiality. capabil-
ity and wisdom. He is a man SER

This, Sth day of October. A, ID.
1914, 80 years ago, l first saw the
lght OF day on a farm in the grand
old county of Lancaster. Almost
over since my recollection, which
seems to me to go back nearly to the
time OF my birth, l have heard off
and on, the cry of hard times: and
have surely experienced some of
them. For we'll do l remember my
rather and older broher going to the
war in Virginia and leaving me and
TWO other brothers at home to work
on our farm. In addition to doing
farm work | often had to do house
work. i have filled many thousand
luills on the old spinning wheel,
and helped my dear old mother
weave on an old-fashioned loom:
and have worn many pairs of maple
dyed copperas and blue homespun
breeches. l have seen the time
when we could not afford to lose
the hide of a COW that died, appar-
entity from starvation-we would
skin her and tan the hide and make
shoes out of it. / have beaten up
tan bark many a time and helped to
tan leather. After Sherman's army

Sundays our good old mother would
try to give us a little better dinner
than OF any other day, -four bread,
pies, and occasionally chicken

this day | look for little better
dinner on Sunday than any other
day. However, notwithstanding the
