The dachschund is the favorite dog
In Germany, and very useful and
pleasant companion he seems to be.
The English bulldog is a good second
In popularity. and the nearer he Is to
our standard points the better he is
liked. The fox terrier varies a good
deal in size and marking and is EVIL

many as he deserves to be.
The ladies' there are as fond of
their little Poms and their King Char
leses as are their English sisters of
their pet dogs at home.
Some few dogs in the streets are
harnessed to four.wheeled trucks.
Usually man and dog pull. The
work seems too heavy and exhaust
ing for the dogs, which are generally
mongrels of the mastiff type. They
look in fair condition and are not III

WOULDN'T ROB WOMEN.
Discriminating Bandits on a caIIfor-
MIA Train.

LOS SANGBLES.-Posses in automo-
biles secured all the highways here
about seeking trace VI two masked
men who robbed the Southern Pacific
fast northbound train No. 75 near
Burbank. IL miles north of here.
Receipts Of the robbery amounted
to $3.50. with some jewelry. The fact
that 1t was the second train robbery
ut the same place within two months
made the authorities especially an1-
ious to capture the bandits. The pre-
vious robbery netted some $4,000.
This latest affair was confined to
the observation car. The robbers,
masked and carrying sawed-off shot
guns and revolvers. swung aboard the
rear end of the train.
The women In the car were told to
keep their money and jewelry. Twen-
ty-five men wer robbed In few min
utes and the bandits pulled the bell
cord and dropped of at a station
four miles further up the line.

her hands.

IT wish now to hear all that has
happened" said Father Grepoire. "I
want to know everything, that / NAV
the better advise thee. AS to thy
marrying Curran unless the wish to
do so Is in thy heart it would be a
shameful thing"
.sThe words came very slow at first.
Ameou,s heart was near to breaking
when she spoke of her hopes of the
homecoming of her man, and when
she told Of the joy that had been
hers at the birth of little Yellow
Hair. Then she related the news Of
the awful disaster in the White Rap
ids, and of the disappearance of the
child and her vain quest.
"Oh, father! she cried. "Thou
are the Manitou limo of the white
people, and the words thou speakest
to thy Manitou are answered some
times-thou hast said. Speak to
Him now, and ask Him to relieve my
pain and be good to the spirit Of
Yellow Hair, my husband and give
me back my littlea one if he still be
livingp
She knelt imploringly before him.
Then the others, also, knelt in si
lence. Nimissuts listened, profound
ly impressed, and the wife and chill
dren watched in wonder.
The priests voice rose in rapid ut
terance of prayers for the dead and
in slower words of consolation for
the living. After these came more
broken, hating sentences, in which
the missionary implored mercy for
the poor broken reed at his feet and
humbly begged divine compassion
whereby her awful burden might be
lightened. 49,,
The priests spoken prayers were
ended, yet his hands were till joined
together and his lips moved.
Then, outside the tent, and very
near, the subdued cry Of wailing
infant was heard.
The flap of the tent was opened
and great pair Of shoulders sur
mounted by deeply inset head be-
came darkly limned against the ris-
ing glow of the soft moonlight.
The man entered, bearing some
thing in his arms.
Here is thy little man-child that
was lost" he said. II have brought
him to thee with message"
But Ameou had not listened. There
came from her wild cry, a stagger-
ing effort to rise to her feet and
grasp her treasure.
Her head bent over the precious
thing whose tiny face was soon COW
cred with it's mothers tears. The lit
tie head was pressed to the bosom
that had suffered such agony and to
the heart that had been SO overbur-
dened.
Mashkaugan kept silent, and so
did all the others. They were
amazed at the swift answer to the
missionary's beseeching words.
Finally Ameou looked up with a
wonderful deep sigh of happy relief.
"Didst thou speak of a message,
Mashkaugan she asked.
"The message is that one is very
i'll in whom thou are greatly con-
cerned. He cries out thy name, fear
ing to die without beholding thee"
"There is no one in the world in
whom l am concerned" she cried,
"now that my little Yellow Hair is
given back to me-"
"There is one, Ameou," repeated
the hunchback. His lips have
touched those of the little child, who
has also rested in his arms. He bids
thee come to him for ever in his
sickness he is crying out for thee
and despairing because thou art not
near. Indeed, the man l thought
dead has come to life"
Swiftly the hunchback clapped his
hand over the young woman's mouth.

white baby left alone in the woods.
Curran meanwhile has schemed to
have Scarface, an Indian, play trick
on Ameon by taking her baby into
the woods and leaving him for Cur

the baby and is rescued from drown

YOUR KIND OF HEADACHE

The headache which in addition to
the pain, gives the impression of a
tight band about the head, is caused
by nervous exhaustion. 1t is a bless
ing in disguise because it gives warn
ing that you are overdrawing your
supply of nervous energy. Unless you
stop the mental fatigue and build up
your nerves you will be fortunate IL
you escape nervous breakdown, some
form of paralysis or other severe
nervous disorder.
Rest is, of course, desirable but not
always possible and liable to be de-
ferred. With sufficient rest the nerves
will build themselves up. Failing in
this, you need something that will
build them up and sustain them while
they are kept moderately at work. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are probably un-
equaled for this purpose. They build
up the nerves in the only possible way,
by enriching the blood with the ele-
ments the nerves need. The treat
ment is one of nutrition of the nerve
cells, requiring nonalcoholic tonic
and DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
proved useful in so many severe cases
that every sufferer is justified in Civ
ing them a trial for any form of
nervous debility. They contain no
opiate or harmful drug.

will be sent free on request by the DIR.

TREES AND sHRUBBERY.

L is not generally known among
the people of Harrisburg that the
municipal nursery at Island Park
is full to overfowing with trees and
shrubbery that will fill up all the open
spaces of the park system and pro-
vide abundant material for planting
the river slope. 1t is expected that a
great deal of planting, including many
trees, will be necessary in the wide
park that has been created on the
River Front south of Paxton street.
This park has been growing almost
imperceptibly for several years and
since the beginning of the excavation
for the subways on Mulberry street,
hundreds of tons of material have
been secured for the filling necessary
to grade and put in shape this park.
City Commissioner Taylor, as head
of the Department of Parks has also
cleaned out the underbrush and
ragged planting along the river slope
elsewhere, and when the necessary
filling shall have been done and the
proper grade established, there will be
splendid opportunity for still more
planting of hardy shrubbery that will

WAR SONNETs
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox :.

BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox
COPYRIGHT, 1914. by Star Company
1.
War is destructive. wasteful, brutal,
yet
The energies of men are brought to
play h
And children valor by occasion met =
Leaps to the light, as precious Jewels
may
When earthquakes rend the rock. The
stress and strain
OF war stirs men to do their worst
and best.
Heroes are forged on anvils not with
pain
And splendid courage comes but
with the test.
Some natures ripen and some virtues
bloom
Only in blood-red soil; some souls
prove great
Only in moments dark with death or
doom.
This is the sad historic jest which
fate
Filings to the world, recurring time on
time
Many must fall that one may seem
sublime.
Above the choas of impending ills,
Through all the clamor of insistent
strife.
Now while the noise of warning ma
tions fills
Each throbbing hour with menaces
to life,
1 hear the voice of Progress Strange
indeed
The shadowed pathways that lead
up to light.
But as a runner sometimes will recede
That he may so accumulate his
might,
Then with a will that needs must be
obeyed
Rushes resistless to the goal with
ease,
So the whole world seems now to re-
trograde,
Slips back to war, that it may speed
to peace.
And in that backward step it gathers
force
For the triumphant finish of its
course.

SAVE THE BELGIANS FROM
FAMINE!
New York SUM


Belgium is in ruins. Millions of her
people are homeless or shivering in
the remnants of their homes. without
work, without food, without clothing
for the winter Drawing near. This
desolation of State, this beggary of
people, this wide mournful range of
misfortune is spread before the eyes
of the American people, soon to keep
public festival of their properties,
their merciful exemption from the dis
asters that darken so much of the
world. On Thanksgiving Day. on this
iny, on every day, and most of all in
this sad time, it is not with rating of
comfortable stomach and Tharisaical
appreciation of our isolation from the
sharp sufferings of others that we can
thank and remember God. Let the
old text rise up in the memory from
forgotten youthful Sundays, from the
dimmed clean sanctuaries of child
boob:
For I was an hungered, and We
gave me meat; l was thirty ard We
gave me drink; | was stranger, and
yc took me in:
NAKED, and ye clothed me: l was
sick. and we visited me: 1 was in
prison, and ye came unt) me-"
No question of nationality, no opin-
ion as to the causes of the war, clogs
the sympathies which eve.y generous
heart feels for the Belgians. They
mus; he fed or they will starve. Help
them all you can.

THE RED CROSS SALE

- PRELIMINARY plans are now
- being discussed for the annual
sale of Red Cross seals for
,.. Christmas. The thousands of
dollars raised annually throughout
the United States for the relief of suf-
fering among the tubercular poor
could hardly be devoted to a better
cause.
The Red Cross has done more, per-
haps for the dissemination of knowl-
edge on how to combat the disease
than any other organization. And ii
is this knowledge which fundamentally
is worth more than the money spent
in the actual relief of the white
plague victims. But to continue Its
good work the Red Cross must have
funds. 1t is not so much how much
you give, but that you give something
Every stamp bought means a cent in
the Red Cross treasury And a hun
dred pennies mean a dollar.
Show that you have within your
heart the real Christmas spirit this
year by sticking each of your gifts
with Red Cross seals.
