IT HE young girl who has come to the great city
hears many voices. Two speak loudest One
is the voice Of her mother, bidding her watch her
steps carefully avoiding the glitter of temptation
and the lure of the wealth she sees about her; the
other is the voice of the tempter who may comein
many forms, and who tells her that beauty will
bring pleasure and happiness, and that the doors be
hind which the brightest lights CLEAN will swing
for her if she will but knock on them.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-01-13

There are many ways she may take in great
city, but sure leads to happiness, or at least
contentment the other may lead for little time
through pleasure to sorrow but most often it leads
directly to bitterness and despair Dreadfully
mistaken is the girl who thinks that beautiful
clothes and pleasant society follow the slightest
Welding to the tempter AS thousands of poor girls
can testify the empter has the key to door only
and that is the door to immediate and abect misery

FASHIONS RoSEBUDS OF IRON
New Jersey Blacksmith Probably the Most SkiilfuI Metal Worker in
 the World.

Louis Van Boeekel, the blacksmith of a small Belgian hamlet. has won more than local fame by his skill in fashioning flowers from metal by means of the tools of his trade. He has an American rival. however. in the person of James Gran, a blacksmith whose smithy is in Plainfeld. N.
 Tt is interesting to watch this smith make rose" says a writer in the New York Sun. He first fashions the core, and then forges the smaller petals, hammering the ends out fiat. Next, he takes a contriyance shaped like a screw-driver and opens the out CT petals first After hollow. ing out the petals, he grasps the iron rosebud in a pair of tougs. thrusts it into the fire, and heats the stems of the petals. He takes it out of the fire, and hammers the stems into a solid mass.
 He forms the larger petals in the same manner, and having thus made the complete rose. he grasps it with larger tongs, heats and hammers it again, and finally puts the red-hot. glowing mass in wise.
 "All the different parts of the flower he forges separately. He makes the veins, or radical ribs of the leaves, with the peen of the hammer. The same tool. when it Is slightly tilted, and it's blows directed to the outside of the leaf, makes the serrated edges og the leaves. He first holds the piece from which the leaf is made in the tongs and heats and flattens it on the anvil He forms the center rib in the leaf by letting that part lap over the edge of the anvil while he fattens the rest of the leaf.
 Mir. Gran works entirely from mem ory, and uses no model. His skill in metal working is said to be greater than that of Van Boeekel himself"

HUMORS OF THE CHINESE WAR
Foreigners Got Much Amusement Out of noings of the Very Serious
 Native Soldiers.

Hurnor, of a grim sort. of course, abounded in the revolution which es- abolished republic in China Fred erick Mccormick, in "The Flowery Republic" tells of the formation of corps in the north who gloried in the title. Dare to Die" The rebels in Canton were not satisfied to adopt this term from their brothers, and delighting in the superlative and ex- treme called themselves the Deter mined to Die" The first were merely willing martyrs, but the Cantonese were desperate for death. A foreign wag dubbed them the Much Wanchee Dies"
 Among the various military organ izations that sprung up in Canton" says MT. Mccormick, was a company of bomb throwers called the Bomb Pioneers' Their uniform was a light blue foreign knitted underwear that fitted them as their own skins. They wore brown knitted socks supported by American garters. Over the un- derwear they wore shoulder braces from which were stretched across the breast white bands bearing the name of their organization. Their leaders wore biouses and caps and carried swords In parades they sometimes carried arms full of bombs and were in danger of blowing whole streets to atoms. In public meetings on two occasions there were accidents il which numbers of people were killed and wounded"
