ments is nicely adjusted proportions.
It's message is to the poor, the out
cast, the broken in body and in spirit.
No destitution. physical or spiritual. is
so great that this remarkable society
does not take steps to alleviate it. The
work of good cheer. the admonition to
forsake sin, and the bestowal Of ma
terial aid go together, and the society
pays attention alike to the securing of
a filthy person and the cleansing of a
soiled soul. Therefore. it has been of
success in it's mission.
The Army could not have achieved
its success had it been a society apart
from those to whom it sought to min
lister. 1t has sought to uplift people,
but not at arms length. Some Of it's
most effective workers have been per-
sons of scarcely any education and no
social standing who have been,
through its influence, lifted from the
gutter asd placed on their feet. Those
people have been received, not with
reserve and reluctance, and with plain
hints that they must keep their prop
er place, but with joy and enthusiasm,
and they have been at once made
comrades and fellow soldiers Of those
already in the ranks, and have been
put to work. The army's most efficient
slum workers have been the dwellers
in the slums themselves. Its best
workers in India haves been the native
Hindus. Its insignia is worn in Japan
by thousands of native Japanese, at
tired in all other respects in their
usual costumes and living according
to the customs Of the land. The Army
has not sought to revolutionize the
language, or the food, or the dress of
those among whom it worked. It has
not carried plug hats to the tene-
ments. nor flannel petticoats to the
Hottentots 1t has drained cesspools,
and cleaned up cellars, and fed the
hungry, and clothed the naked, and
put the idle to work, shed light into
dark places, and inspired hope in souls
black with despair
The Army has been crude in it's
manners and methods. It had to be,
for 1t was dealing with crude people.
But 1t has made better men and wom-
en- Of hundreds of thousands, and be-
cause 1t has done these things the
memory of it's founder is to be revered,
and its work is to be commended.

Marian LIE Grave dried her tears
and smiled at her two particular
friends. But her smile rested longest
on the face of Miss Lucy.
II think your idea is beautiful" she
said, "about friends everywhere, just
waiting to be made. And I'll try to
make some. I couldn't live in a place
where no one liked me-"

BE sure and 1t us know how you
get on with your near neighbor," they
said as .hey left.
For while the postman carried
daily reports of how things went on
Marian was lonely, and the volu-
minous letters testified to the fact.
The neighbor was mentioned in all of
them. The smiling acquaintance had
developed into q speaking one. She

The letters were not so frequent

me out of sorts all the time after I
found 1t out. I had come to like her
so much--she's the pleasantest little
body fmaginable-but one day she
showed me her window boxes, with
couple of heads of lettuce in one and
rad1shes and parsley in the other. It
settled me. 1 haven't seen her sine
Really, we haven't got back to the
nodding stage of our first acquaint-
ance. It'll never go any further.
And I thought she was the friend who
was waiting for me!''
Il told you not to be too sure" said
Mrs. Bell, land I'm glad you found
her out. Fancy! Lettuce, Of all
things! She must be a very canny
person to grow VEGETABLES, with all
the beautiful flowers there are"
"Oh, she has flowers, too," admit
ted Marian, "ivy geraniums that hang
half way down to my windows. I
never saw such beauties SO beauti-
Iully grown; out can't forgive the
lettuce in the middle"
well, never mind, dear" said Miss
Lucy, II wouldn't fret over it. After
all, it's a little thing to dislike any
one for.''
Il can't help it..r said Marian. "1
must either like al person or not. I
can't half like them"
The next time that the three met
was at Marian's house. but the hos
tess was in bed, recovering from a Sc
we're illness.
How about your lettuce neigh
bor?" asked Mrs. Bell, in a pause of
the conversation.
Marian flushed from brow to chin
"Oh, don't" she said. "She's liable
to come in any minute. She runs in
dozens Of times day since the nurse
left me. And she brings me-''
you don't mean to say she brings
you anything person as mean as
that?"
"she brings me everything. At first
it was soups and jellies, and later
the daintiest little dish Of breast Of
chicken, garnished with parsley. It
was the first thing I had really cared
for, and I began to mend from that
hour
"But she could have bought it,
said Mrs. Bell.
'Not like that" Marian answered,

word to apply to parsley, but it look

that was how she happened to grow
it-so as to have it really nice when

with lettuce leaves, and a sprig of ger

all said. 1t hurts me-"
Her eyes filled with ready tears Of
the concalescent. But the next mo-
ment her face lighted up as tap
sounded on the door. The visitor, a
covered dish in her hand, started back
at sight Of the strangers. Marian
called to her.
I want you to meet my friends, and
them to meet my neighbor friend.

Lucy kissed and hugged her; then
hled her of and searched her face
with loving eyes.
You've been lonely child she
said. "How's the new neighbor?"
Lets run over to Betty Bells. and
I'll tell you both all about it," an

And from the depths Of Mrs. Bells
most luxurious chair Marian spoke.

About "The Dub" Golf Player;

but the ball, thinking of nothing but
the stroke. The dub WandeTs by creek
and roadside, soaking in the beauties
of nature through every pore and Oc-
casionaIly enriching himself to the
tune of IS cents by finding his ball.
The delights of his youth, when he

found now and then a Spckled egg in
a nest, are repeated when he parts
a bush and discovers his perfectly new

little NaDoleon's assistant. The following
year Robinson retired from the game again
1t may be Just a coincidence, but 1t IS a fact
nevertheless that the Giants old not WIN an

was back on the job helping McGraw. He
stayed with Mac the next two years and the
Giants won the pennants OF 1917 and 1913.

how much Of the Giants success was due to

nothing compared with the Scotch op-
preston in our country clubs we sug-
gest as starter the following rules
of golfers beyond the pale OF the
haudicapping committee:
l. A lost ball shall remove two
strokes from the score on that hole
When a dub loses a ball he needs COM
fort, not punishment
2 The dub missing a ball entirely
shall give a cigar to his opponent It
is ridiculous TO punish a score for the
fault Of the player.
8. How a dub gets out Of a bunker
is none of the other mans business
f. When a dub takes more than 10
strokes for a hole he shall be allowed
to 90 back and play the hole over.
s. When a dub has attempted to
drive over a hazard three times in
good faith, his intentions shall be re-
spected by his opponent and he shall
be allowed to proceed from the other
side.
g. When a dub's ball nestles behind
a rock he shall be allowed TO remove
the rock by throwing it at the first
expert who plays through
T. After four puts a dub may be
allowed to move up to within reason
able distance Of the hole.
