than there was on its deck. He told
the truth.
Only one boat was sv0Eg out on its
davits by the crew Of the Philadel-
phia; it could not have held by any
chance more than a dozen or fifteen
people; it was swung out long time
before the war zone was reached.
Why? No one knew. 1t is as much
of a puzzle today as it was the day that
the crew swung the lifeboat over the
water.
1t has been said of other voyages
that passengers on ships passing
through the Irish sea at night did not
go to bed, or if they did, they turned
in with their clothes on. There was
only one passenger on the American
liner who stayed up all night through
the Irish sea, and he was a jolly, old
retired naval officer who had served
his time and who could not get over
the habit of staying on watch. This
old chap must be seventy-five years
old, but he showed up at the breakfast
table shining, roster and more gen.
orally wide-awake than any compan-
ion passenger.
The night before the Irish sea was
entered an Englishman who was play
ing bridge and side talking about the
matter of stewards tips said:
Perhaps the. only steward we must
tip will be the one waiting on Davy
Jones'"
England a Solemn Place.
This word from the Britisher was
about the only one heard from a man
suggestive of any dread possibilities
from the sailing of the war-zone sea.
The women, as l have said, kept off
the subject of the war and of danger
from start to finish. About an hour
before turning-in time fifteen or twen-
ty of the woman passengers gathered
in corner of the so-called social hall
and conferred together. There was
one woman in that throng of whom
had the presumed right to ask ques-
tons. / inquired concerning the ma
ture of the conference, and my answer
was, mo matter"
/ found out later, however, that the
women in solemn conclave had agreed
that it was safe to go to bed and to
turn in attired as they were ordinarily
attired on sleep occasions, and ito
pass the danger by" and with it all
thought of anything except a safe
landing on the morrow.
One man | can say who was going to
sleep with his trousers on and with his
shoes exceedingly handy, turned in
wearing the usual habiliments OF the
night, and tried, not altogether sue
cessfully, 70 Danish thoughts of sub
marines and to WOO sleep after the
ordinary coaXing manner.
Liverpool was reached early in the
morning-the sea and its submarines
were behind, but the war in its other
aspects was in front, and one knew it
the instant that foot was put on land.
England is a solemn place, and shows
it in the step and in the faces of the
people. A solemn place-and so must
be Germany and France and Russia.

Jules Bots, chevalier of the legion
of honor and prophet of feminism in
France, is now in this country to
make an investigation of our food
production and expectation. He will
make a lecture tour of the United
States and will study the methods of
teaching French in the schools of Cal
ifornia. He summarized his views of
feminism thus: Yes, women should
have the vote, not that we may have
more votes, but that new moral ele-
ment. the mother element, may enter
into the political world

Christmas Reminds
Dixon Of Time Big
Dinner Was Missed

Speaking OF Christmas dinners,
Bo'aun's Mat Dixon at the navy re-
cruiting station says Christmas always
reminds him Of Christmas dinner that
didn't show up.
1t was back in 1908 and Dixon was on
ono OF the ships that made the voyage
around the world In the fleet.
In due time the beef boat" or supply
ship, CuIgoa was dispatched from New
York laden with the stuff for the Christ
mas dinners on Uncle Sans Bhips-hun-
dreds and hundreds OF turkeys. barrels
and barrels of cranberries. tons and tons
of potatoes and all the rest OF It. Uncle
Sans holiday dinners are famous and
fine.
. Tho Culgoa was n bit late in meeting
the ship Dixon, and Just as II was about
70 meet Il the Messina earthquake hap
pened. Nearly 10000 people lost their
lives IN that catastrophe and thousands
were made homeless and destitute.
An order was flashed from Washing
ton to the beef boat" to make full speed
for the stricken district and unload It's
refrigerators and holds for the benefit OF
the people.
Which was done and there was no tur-
key on board the ships at holiday time.
But another beef boat" was dispatched
as soon as possible and the turkeys ar
rived and Christmas and New Years
dinners were served up a little later.

AGED GRANDMOTHER
So Weak She Could Hardly stand
Made Strong by NinoI.

Right here In Waxahachie we
have seen such excellent results
from Vinol that it is a pleasure to
know that it is doing so much good
for old people in other parts at the
country.
Woodbridge, ~ My Grand
ma was recovering from the grippe
and was SO weak she could hardly
stand, and as she keeps house for
my father and myself. she could
not get around at all She had
taken cod liver oil and many 9th
er medicines. but nothing seemed
10 do her any good. Al last we
heard of Vinol and tried it, and
Grandma commenced to feel bet
ter right away, and got strong very
soon, so she gets around as Wei as
ever We all praise Vinol fot it is
a splendid medicine Myrtle II.
Bum.
The reason vinol is so successful
in restoring strength to the aged is
because of the rare combination OF
tonic iron. the curative medicinal
extractiyes of fresh Gods liyers,
beef peptone and mild native wine,
1t supplies iron TO the blood,
auickens the appetite, aids diges-
ton, promotes proper assimilation
of food, and enriches the blood,
and brings back the strength OF

"In all the history OF the
church." he said. God has picked
out here and there great ones OF
earth who were women. Meihodism
owes to the mother of Charles and
John Wesley a debt Il can never
pay. because II was the hand of
susanne Wesley that rocked the
cradle OF Methodism."
Dr. Andrews closed his sermon
with a reference to something of
the work the women of the church
are doing. He said this work ex-
tends from the keys of Florida
through the mountains of Tonnes
see and Kentucky. across Cklaho-
ma. over the Rockies and along the
Pacific slope and to China. Korea.
Mexico. South America. Every
where. he said. they have planted
schools and missions and nobody
but God can estimate the work they
have done. He said that in these
hard times they are going into
Japan. the church having turned
over to them the work of establish
| ing and maintaining schools, mis-
sions and hospitals there In order
to carry on this work the women
of the Southern Methodist connec-
tion are now trying to raise So

At the conclusion of the sermon
an offering was taken for the work
in Japan.
