the telephone was at work with in
quiries about trains and berths on
steamers: and within a week we were
on our way 10 Marseilles to join the
ship that was to take us to Port Said.
Our staterooms were on the prone
made deck of the steamer. with
passageway between them. This adj
mitted of entirely separate eXistences.
which was well, for knowing or guess
ing my share in our altered arrange
ments, my husband had become even
more morose than before, and no con-
versation could be sustained be-
tween us.
FELT THE GULF.
He spent a greater part of his time
in his stateroom, grumbling at the
steward, abusing his valet, beating
his bad tempered terrier and cursing
the luck that had brought him on this
senseless voyage.
More than ever now l felt the gulf
that divided us. 1 could not pass one
single hour with him in comfort. My
life was becoming as cold as an
empty house. and | was beginning to
regret the eagerness with which ] had
removed my husband from a. scene in
which he had at least lived the life of
rational creature. when an unex-
pected event brought me a thrill of
passing pleasure.
Our seats in the saloon were at the
top of the doctors table. and the
doctor himself was a young IriShman
of three or four-and- twenty, as
bright and breezy as a March md4n-
ing and as racy of the soil as a new
cut peat.
Hearing that I was from ELAN he
started by lsking if by chance

doctor with Lieutenant IS eXpe-

A wave of tender feeling from my
childhood came surging up to my
throat and | said:
He was the first of my boy friends
in fact, the only one"
The young doctors eyes sparkled
and he looked as if he wanted to
throw down his soup spool. jump up,
and grasp me by both hands.
God bless me, is that so?" he said
1t turned out that Martin and he
sity. They had worked together,
"roomed" together and taken their
degrees at the same time
$50 you know Mart? Lord alive,
the way things come out!"
1t was easy to see that Martin was
not only his friend but his hero. He
talked of him with passionate love
and admiration with which men,
whatever they feel, rarely speak Of
each other.
Martin was the salt of the earth
He was the finest fellow and the
staunchest friend and the bravest-
hearted chap that walked under the
stars of God.
''The greatest chum I have in the
world, too, and by the Holy Immacu-
late Mother I'm destroyed at being
away from him"
1t was like music to hear him
speak. A flood of joy went sweeping
through me at every word of praise
he gave to Martin. And yeti can
not explain why, unless it was the
woman in me, the Irish woman, or
something like it-but | began to de
preciate Martin, in order to "hoosh"

Children Pick Bale of Cotton in

The five children of Mr.. and

cotton few days ago, according

The oldest of them, Eugene.

pounds; Carl, a few years young
er, 4O5; Hester, a little girl, 275
pounds; Boyce, a boy of ten, 200
pounds; and the baby, only seven
years of age, 165 pounds. That
is more than some people put in
a bale and it was all picked by

Stand Up Straight and Avoid
tuberculosis.

The first essential IN the avoid
ance of tuberculosis of the lungs
or consumption is to keep the
lungs strong, SO that if the germs
are breathed in they can do no
harm. One of the most impor-
tant things in keeping the lungs
strong is to keep the chest wide
open SO that the lungs can be
properly used. If the body is
dropped or stoops, or if the
shoulders are allowed to drag
forward (round shou1ders), or if
the head is carried forward in
stead of we'll back over the
shoulders, the chest must be flat
tened. the breathing must be
shallow, and the lungs, not being
freely used. become weak. 1t is
in this type of chest that tuber-
culoSiS usually begins. The
consumptive is usually narrow
chested, with droop shoulders
and with head craned farward.
While the development of a
strong, well formed chest is one
of the most important factors in
preventing tuberculosis, the
same thing is to be desired if the
disease has once started. Not
only should we live in the open,
but we should stand up straight
and learn to throw a big chest"
SO that the lungs can grow strong
and the fresh air be taken in.
lhe runner, the singer, or any
one who is obliged to make sus
tanned effort is taught to stand
and sit with the chest high SO
that the lungs can beused to the
best advantage, and if every one
would do the same thing there
would be less tuberculosis, be-
cause there would be fewer
weak lungs.-America Medical

DAILY WAR REPORTS

ported Daily from the Scene
Battle.
THURSDAY

The battle in the north OF Fran
ce continues with tremendous
violence. Neither side has made
material gains so far as known.
The French war office in its
afternoon statement says the bat
tie front extends virtually to the
Belgian frontier. The fighting
is described as violent but no
claim of advantage is made.
Owing to the approach of the
German besieging army, the
Belgian government has been
removed from Antwerp to Os-
tend. German advices say the
besiegers have made progress.

soldiers carving a soup kettle

incident.
Some time ago a Gotham man
was driving an automobile over
one of Jerseys smooth, hard
roads, when a man suddenly ap-
peared in the highway and held
up a warning hand.
HALT" he exclaimed in a
voice that had the ring of author
ity. "You are exceeding the
speed limit"
"What are you talking about?'
Indignantly cried the autoist,
bringing his machine to a stop.
II wasn't going Is miles an
hour"
THAT'S what they all say.
You can tell your story to the
justice of peace. It's just seven
miles beyond. Drive on please" "
There was no help for it, and
seven miles for fhe autoist were
slowly traversed. Finally the
town came in sight.

Panoramic Pictures

An Automatic camera is now
lii use tha tfrom an aeroplane will
take panoramic picture of the
entire route of a flight. 1t is not
a moving picture, but series of
photographs taken one after the
other at proper intervals, so that
when the pictures are printed
they may be fitted together in
one long strip, showing the
ground passed over. The pilot
of the aeroplane pays no atten-
ton to the camera after starting,
for a little wind motor on the
front of the camera operates the
machinery and keeps the fresh
films coming along at the right
intervals.
Before starting, however, it is
necessary to estimate the speed
of the wind that may be blowing,
and set the camera accordingly;
for, of course, the speed of an
aeroplane is dependent not only
on its actual push forward but
also on any added or lessened
rate of speed due to the wind.
