Lives of Two Lutheran Pastors and

caster, Pa, has called attention to a
series of remarkable life parallels.
Both ministers are Lutherans and al
though they were born in different
sections of the state they have been
friends from boyhood. They entered
Muhlenberg college at the same time
and were roommates four years.
They were graduated in the same
class and were stationed in Lutheran
churches in the same county. They
were married the same day and the
wedding trips were taken together.
Their wives were girlhood friends
although one is native of Berks coun.
ty and the other of Bucks. They en-
tered the Kutztown Normal school to-
gether and were the closest Of friends
throughout their residence at that in

were graduated in the same class and
both took up teaching which they
abandoned at the same time to become
brides.

BURGLARS chIorofcrm eaby.

Chloroform was used by burglars on
baby Claude, six-week.old son of G.
D. Unger of Avalon. Pa. when they
entered the Unger home. Little loot
was obtained. After chloroforming the
infant the burglars carried him to the
kitchen in his nursery basket and
opened the outside door. It is sup

would prevent the child from dying.

ELEANOR WILSON ENGAGED
Youngest Daughter Of President to
Marry Secretary McAdoo.

The White House is to have its four
teenth wedding this summer, probably
in June.
Formal announcement of the en-
gagement of the presidents youngest
daughter, Eleanor, to Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo was given out.
With rumors of various kinds going
around it was decided that it would
be inadvisable further to withhold con
firmation of the engagement.
Although all doubt was removed as
to existence of the engagement some
indecision was felt bv the presidents
family as to making an announcement
because of Mrs. Wilson's health.
Mr.. Wilson's friends believed strong
ly, however, that an announcement
ought to be made Immediately in order
to discredit reports circulated that OBJ
lection to the match had been raised
by the president, by Mrs. Wilson and
by Miss Mona McAdoo the secretary's
twenty-year-old daughter who has
acted as the mistress of his official
residence for the past year.
While no formal announcement Of
the date for the wedding could be
made because of the Taste with which
it was decided to make known the
engagement it is understood that the
ceremony will be performed in two
or three months. A day early in June
is expected to be chosen.
The Wilson-McAdco wedding will
be the second White House wedding
of President Wilson's administration.

that it's the regular fixed expenses a
mans up against. Steady grind l
tell you-and in times like this It's

Fixed expenses" Helen kept
turning the phrase over in her mind.
She had never even thought OF his
office expenses and like so many
women she regarded their household
bills-the rent, maid, ice, milk and
groceries-as matter of-course neces-
stiles, and not in the Hight Of expen-
ditures.
This is the point Of most
women who have been provided for
all their lives. They take the neces-
sites of the home for granted 1T is
only the extras, the needless extrav-
agances and luxuries, that they con.
sider as real expenditures.
In vague way Helen now realized
this. She thought OF the time8 whe.
Warren had spoken of receiving am
especially good fee; always she had
mentally appropriated that money to
the buying OF extras Somehow she
had never thought OF il as paying
the rent
But now the office rent. their apart
ment rent and all the Fixed ex-
penseS' doomed ornInously before her
With "A sudden rush Of tenderness she
thought OF Warren's STEADY grind.
OF his always having to meet these
monthly bills which she had taken
as such matter of course.
She longed to creep into his arms
and put something OF all this into
words. But knowing his intolerance
OF anything verglng on emotion, she
contented herself with bringing him
an ash tray and moving the lamp
nearer his elbow.
AS she passed back OF his chair, she
brushed his hair with light kiss

scratched his head impatiently

A Mother S Efforts

] think my mother must have sui-
fered both from my fear of my father
and from my fathers indifference to
me, for she made many efforts to rec
oncile him TO my existence. Some of
her innocent schemes, as ! recall them
now. seem very sweet. but very pitt
ful. She took pride, TOR instance, in
my hair. which was jet black even
when ! was child. and she used to
part it in the middle and brush it
smooth over my forehead in the man
ner of the Madonna. and one day
when my father was with as. she
drew me forward and said:
Don't you think our Mary is going
70 be very pretty? A little like tile
pictures Of our Lady perhaps
YOU think so, Daniel?'
I Whereupon my father laughed
rather derisively and answered.
Pretty. is she? Like the Virgin,
Ell? We'll Well"
was always fond or music and
my mother used to teach me to sing
to a little upright piano which she
was allowed to keep in her room, and
on another day she said:
DO you know our Mary has such
beautiful voice, dear? So sweet and
pure that when close my eyes
could almost think It is an angel
singing"
Whereupon my father laughed as
before, and answered;
"A voice has she? Like an angels,
is it? What next, | wonder"
My mother made most of my
clothes. There was no need for her
to do so, but in the absence of house
hold duties I suppose it stimulated
the tenderness which all mothers feel
in covering the little limbs they love,
and one day, having made a velvet
frock for me from "a design in an old
pattern book of colorcd prints, which
left the legs ana neck and arms very
bare she said
isn't our Mary a little LADY, But
she viii always look like a lady
whatever she is dressed in"
And then my father laughed still
more Contemptuously and replied;
Her grandmother Weeded turnips
in the fields, though-ninepence day
dry days, and siNpence all weathers.'
