THE FAITHFUL FRIEND

BY Mildred Caroline Goodrfdge
A woman snrieked and tainted

parted summarily;; expressions of ex-
element, wonder and then horror
beat out upon the ambient afternoon
air at Purdy Corners.

The last speaker was the village
smith. To him both dog and owner
had been known for years. With him
Don had been always friend and ia
vorite. The animal swung its blood
shot gazed toward him. There was
pathos and pleading in the glance,
low whimpering howl, but Don kept
straight on until he reached the stone
steps leading up into the little county
courthoSe.
1t was there, ever since he had
done with judgeships and active bust
ness cares, that Judge Warren had
come daily to keep In the routine of
old acquaintanceship. That morning
he had been missed. And now his
usual companion had appeared in
manner that indicated the mysteri-
Gus, the terrifying, the tragic.
For only a moment Don faltered at
the steps. Then he sprang up them.
The crowd followed There was a
sudden hush over all the scene. 1t
was as If some dread werewolf OF
ancient times had invaded the peace
full hamlet, bringing in its trail a san
culinary token of impending disaster.
And then an awesome thing hap
pened. The dog proceeded straight
to the courtroom. The court was not
in session, but the presiding judge sat
in his accustomed place listening to
some informal discussion of half a
dozen lawyers. At the edge of the
dais Don paused. AS if appealing to
justice, the reeking animal lifted its
head. 1t uttered one shrill, curdling,
mournfui howl 1t was the cry for
vengeance, for justice, blood for
blood! The animal turned swiftly,
but first swept the faces of those near
to it and gave plaintive whine as
though beseeching them to follow.
The truth was known in an hour.

The Army OF The United States

There is at present only a remotest
likelihood that any forces outside of
the regular army, navy and the mar
inc corps will be called upon for SER
vice in Mexico. From one end of the
country to the other volunteers are as
eagerly coming forward as in '98, but
even if the mobilization of the Ma
tional Guard should be decided upon,
the unorganized reserve militia has
but a negligible chance of taking part
in the still happily remote contingent
cy of a general movement of our
troops across the border to rewrite

the history of 1916 to 1849.

the history of 1916 to 184S.
By the amended militia law origin
ally promulgated in 1908, the militia
of the United States consists of every
able-bodied male citizen and every
able-bodied male of foreign birth who
has declared his intention of becoming
a citizen, between the ages of IS and
45. By official estimates, at the be-
ginning of 1914, the unorganized re-
serve militia outside the National
Guard reached the immense total of
16,004,683, which exceeds the total
population of Mexico. The total men,
bership of the National Guard at the
same date, taking both commissioned
officers and enlisted men into the
reckoning, was 1854. When we
come to the regular army, we find
that under the law providing that the
total enlisted strength should not ex-
coed 100000 there are now 89,604 Of
ficers and men-4745 officers and 84,-
$50 men.
First enlistments in the regular
army are restricted to men between IS
and So years of age. In the seven
years. term of enlistment prescribed
in the army act of August "a, 1912,
the first four years is with the col
ors" in active service; the remaining
three years is without pay con fur
lough", as part of the army reserves,
subject to be called upon for service
in the event of war.
OF the entire membership of the
National Guard, Pennsylvania con-
tributes more than one twelfth, with
10,470 officers and men, being second
only to the 1928 of New York; and
the third in order is Ohio, with 6400.
How do these statistics compare
with MeXico's military showing? Re-
cent events have proved that the cou-
rage of Mexican troops under fire is
not to be lightly esteemed; and it is
not necessary to underrate the valor
of Huerta's or Carranza's following
to glorify the disciplined fitness which
our own men at Fort Sam Houston,
Ell Paso and many other points along
the border have been desperately Gag
er for many months to prove. But
let it be remembered in considering
that of MeXico's 100000 people
there are perhaps 100000 who sleep
and eat in miserable shacks of mud
or thatch and the incontlnence of rage
or even of the desire for retribution
may well be tempered with pity when
we think of the miserable condition IF
the mass of MeXico's population. Of
the 100000 it is said that perhaps

why WEAK LUNGS?

The toll of tuberculosis is claiming
more than $50 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sick
ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats-
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
To guard against consumption, thou
sands of people take Scott $ Emulsion after
meals because its rich medicinal nourish-
ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in
the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist
tuberculosis. SCOTS Emulsion is natures
strength builder. Refuse substitutes.
