"Shop lIarly!' everywhere.

Along the easy way.

Shopped early on that day.
They shopped until the shops We're cleared
OF all the Christmas things
And there was nothing in the shops

Nobody wanted any more
OF Christmas goods, and then
The keepers Of the shops laid in
A different line again.
They bought attractive spring supplies
Of every dainty thing
That looks SO cool and fresh and sweet
TO make a joyous spring.
And by the time that Christmas came
The shops We're overrun
BY thousands OF a rush to get
Their springtime shopping done.
And thus you see-hoWever, say,

And when our Christmas %shopping's
done
Shop early for the spring.

The First Marathon.

When the valiant Greeks had swept
the field of Marathon their first
thought was to get the news home.
They sought a fleet courier and found
him in the person of Il warrior who
had fought all day against the invad-

painting from his exertions. This one
was only too proud to be chosen mes

According to Il report recently issued
by the war department, 5000 school
boy and college marksmen took part in
various rifle shooting competitions dur
ing the year which ended on June 30,
1914. The great increase in the popu-
larity Of this sport. us shown by the
var departments report, is due in Il
large measure to several years of hard
work by the department and by the
National Rife Association Of America,
which are working to make shooting Il
recognized sport in schools and col
leges.
The effort to increase the popularity
Of shooting as Il sport has been aided
by the recent act of congress-, which
authorizes the free issue Of rifles and
ammunition to school and college
shooting clubs. The war department
report on the subject shows that forty
two college clubs and lightweight pri-
vate and public school clubs have avail
ed themselves of this privilege.
Rifle shooting is now the only sport
which is actively fostered and financed
by the government. The war depart
ment manages the tournaments held
for the various classes of marksmen
and provides trophies in the national
competitions.

ORIGIN OF RED CROSS.
Geneva Convention Resulted From Ma.
poIeon's Italian Campaign.

p~oIeon's Italian Campaign.
The Red Cross owes it's real origin 10
the great and terrible campaign Of
1850. when Napoleon made it his boast
that he would free Italy from the
Alps to the .Adriatic." At the great
battle uf Magenta 10000 .Austrians and
some 5000 French soldiers were left
dead and dying OF the fields.
\ Swiss gentleman. named NJ. Henri
Dunant. made a pilgrimage to that
battlefield and was an Involuntary
eyewitness OF the awful carnage of the
battle of Solferino. Il battle which last
ed some sixteen hours and left some
10000 dead and wounded. Henri Du-
nant realized that the medical service
of what was probably the greatest
army in the world was absolutely in
adequate to cope with the casualties,
II he was at once compelled to take
some action to rectify the matter.
The result vas that he wrote 4
small book for private circulation, en-
titled I'm Souvenir lie Solferino." and
this, with his private appeal. resulted
in Napoleon III. commanding Dunant
to his presence. where, with the great
Marshal MacAIahon. they seriously
talked matters over.
The result of this was a conference
OF the powers, called together by the
Swiss federal government, at which
Henri Dunant placed his proposals.
Out Of this Geneva conference Of 1864
resulted the Geneva convention, under
which all medical supplies and person.
mel in war time are protected.

Essen electrified the military universe
with Il six FOUNDER of fawless cast
steel. Since then the German army
and navy have bought $4,000 Krupp
guns. And 10000 Krupp guns have
been sold in the last half century to
tifty-two nations throughout the world
-twenty-thrce in Europe, eighteen in
America. six in Asia. five in Africa.
but the krupps have never manu-.
featured munitions of wal for France.
Wages $25,ooo,oo a Year.
Alfred Krupp's breechloading rife
and cannon, adopted by the Prussian
army in 1861. proved their superiority
in the Franco-PrusSian war. From
II on the factory became world ia
for it's manufacture of heavy
ordnance and armor plate.
Under the next Krupp the output of
the u factory was increased and di-
versitied by the incorporation of other
enterprises.
And now the Krupp Won Bohlens not
only have the immense plant at Essen.
which comprises an area of 1900 acres.
30 OF them under one roof, but MANY
other plants as well. At Essen and at
the three %neighboring fifteen mile long
gun 1anges of Meppen, $4,000 men are
employed.
At Krupp collieries in Khineland-
Westphalia and Silesia 10000 miners
dig coal for Krupp branch works at
Amen and Grllson. where armor plate
Is made. and for blast furnaces at
R~heinhausen, Druisburg, Neuwied and
Engers, which, between them, keep an.
other $4,000 pairs of hands busy.
At Kiel G,1OO shipwrights build bat
tleships. torpedo boats and submarines
in krupp's fifty-fiye acre Germania
dockyard in times of peace.
For all those employees the Krupp
payroll totals $23,ooO.oOO a year.

In "The Men About the Kaiser Fred
erick William Vile paints about the
Krupp couple a happy picture. The
vast bulk of their time. he writes. is
devoted to their home, their three chill

The social work of the Krupps at
their fonndries and factories, among
their work people. dates back to 1861.
At that time finding there were no. in
Essen sufficient houses for their en-
ployceS the Krupps began building
dwellings,. Now some 400 houses are
provided, many being given rent free
