The Pipe of War.

There is hardly country in the world where the pipe is not smoked in one form or another. In many vii lages of the northwest provinces of India are to be found public h0okahs for the use and comfort of travellers. Everyone has heard of the North Americans pipe of peace. General Butchers pipe smoking was of q very different character. He appointed a man to the post of pipe master" !" whose duty it was to fill loug clay pipe and hand it to the general before every engagement. Butcher would then enjoy few puifs. give back the pipe. and gall0p to the firing line.

MRS. ANNA BLACKBURN.

Mrs. Anna Blackburn passed over the great divide Monday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. c. c. Cooper, of this place and the interment was in the Ozark cemetery this after noon, Revs. Galloway and King officiating. Had she lived till Fri day she would have been 93 years of age. To the watchers in the sick room at the time Mrs. Blackburn appeared to be resting-and she was. Thus quietly she entered into the rest, the awakening from which shall be Beyond the River. ;"
 Mrs. Blackburn was born in Blount county, Alabama. and was left an orphan at the age of eight years. She was a member of the Methodist Church for sev- enty-seven years.
 To those who knew Mrs. Black burn, any eulogy of her life would be superfluous. but let us say that the world is richer for her life and that her friends feel that the last years of sweet. patient suffering. through all of which she held her kindly. loving ways, represent a benediction be- yond expression.
 "Adieu, sweet friends. have waited
 long
 To hear the message that calls me
 home,
 And now it comes like low. sweet
 song
 Of welcome over the rivers foam And my heart shall ache and my feet
 shall roam
 No moreno more-I am going home.

tion's harvest or will she permit the male of the species to shove women--weak and weary-from the bread-line of industry to the back alleys of poverty?
 Women and Children Firvt.
 The census enumerators tell us that of the l,5l4.OO women who work in the fields as farm hands 100000 are sixteen years of age and under. What is the final des- tiny of a nation whose future mothers spend their girlhood days behind the blow, pitching hay and hauling manure. and what is to become of womanly culture and refinement that grace the home, charm society and en- thuse man to leap to glory in noble achievements if our daugh- ters are raised in the society of the OK and the companionship of the blow?
 In that strata between the ages of sixteen and forty-fve are 95O,- GOO women working as farm hands and many of them with sucking babes tugging at their breast, as drenched in perspira- tion, they wield the scythe and guide the blow. What is to be- come of that nation where pover- ty breaks the crowns of the queens of the home; despair hurls . mothers love from its throne and hunger drives inno- cent children from the school room to the hoe?
 The census bureau shows that l55 900 of these women are forty five years of age and over. There is no more pitiful sight in eivili- zation than these saintly mothers of Israel stopped with age. drudg- ing in the field from sun until sun and at night drsnehing their dingy pillows with the tears of despair as their aching hearts take it all to Ced in prayer. Civ ilization strikes then a blow when it should give them a crown. and their only friend is He who broke bread with beg gars and said: Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest"
 Oh, America! the land of the free and the home of the brave; the worlds custodian of chivalry, the champion oi human rights and the defender of the oppressed shall we permit our msidens fair to be torn from the hearth stone by the ruthless hand of destiny and chained to the blow? Shall we permit our faithful wives, whom we covenanted with God to cherish and protect, to be hurled from the home to the har- vest field, and our mothers dear to be driven from the old arm chair to the cotton patch?
 In rescuing our citizens from the forces of civilization. can we not apply to our fair Dixieland the rule of the sea-"women and children first?"
 There must be . readjustment of the wage scale of industry so that the woman can be taken from the field or given a reason able wage for her services. Per haps the issue has never been fairly raised. but the Farmers Union, with membership of ten million, puts its organized forces squarely behind the issue and we now enter upon the docket of civ ilization the case of The Woman in the Field" and demand an i'm mediate trial

So live that when the gray is showing on your brow, the boss won't come and say, We do not need you now; we have q younger man to take the work you do, and so we tie the can, reluctantly, to you" This trag- edy occurs a hundred times "a day, and 1t may hit you, sirs, when you are growing gray. Conserve your strength and health, don't paint the village red, and you'll be earning wealth, when snowy is your head. The gray haired man is fired because he's all worn out; he got his spirit tired at wassail and at rout. He burned the midnight gin, and seldom hit the pump; and so a youth steps in, and he steps to the dump. Don't swear by ancient things, but innovations praise; a fossil he who clings to prehistoric ways. The good old world moves on, and you, if you would last, must always face the dawn, nor turn back to the pact. The gray haired man whose eyes are ever forward turned is seasoned, sane and wise, and he will not be spurn- ed. It is the played-out wreck who can't get down to tacks, who gets it in the neck, as chickens get the ax.-Walt Mason.

Ever since Collins was sold TO the
White Sox Collins has been given The
honor Of being the highest priced bali
I aver that ever was placed on the

he had to pay $3.50 DIN cash to the
Rostonians, he had to give in addition
two pitchers, Jack Ryan and Charley

5000 bonus. Ryand and Choch were
valued at $1,000 each, 50 il will be
seen that Young cost Somers $27 900
willie Collins cost Comiskey only
60. 600
The Organized baseball moguls for
q number of years have been trying
10 kid the public into believing that
they pay fabulous prices for ball
players. They would have US believe
that Charles Comiskey paid $4,000
for outfielder Harry Chappelle, $1O,-
600 was more like the real price.
Barney Dreyfus is credited with
having paid $4,000 for Pitcher Mar
tin O'Toole. There always has been
Gcubt as to whether Dreyfuss ever
parted with that sum of omney. About
$4,000 is what Dreyfuss paid, ac
COZ ding to those close to the Pirate
club. And it must be remembered
that Dreyfuss got not only O'Toole for
that price but that Catcher Kelly. the
Battery of OToole, Was thrown in to
make it bargain.
