When Mother Reads a Story.

When mother reads story jes before
we go to bed,
There s not one of all of us that is
a sleepy head;
We gather round and crowd up close
about her rockin chair,
An as she reads | watch the light
aglowin' on her hair.
Obi Jimmy eyes get big as plates, an
Mary sometimes squeals,
An Betty sits with tear-stained face
because she sorter feels
Real sorry for the dragon when the
hero kills him dead;
When mother reads story jes before
we go to bed.
When mother reads a story jes before
we 80 to bed,
l lean up close an hold the book SO
she can pat my head;
For when the giant s yellin fierce, it s
awful nice to know
That mother s arm is holdin you an
viii not let you go!
Oh! Buddy mouth falls open most, he
gets so filled with fear,
An Helen s eyes glow bright like
stars; an when the end is near
We hear the words, "They happy lived
fer ever-it was said,
When mother reads story Jes before
we go to bed.

Mr.. Hoover says. 'EThere are nine
million people in Northern France and
Belgium and of these over one-third
are now either wholly or partially
destitute and are today receiving their
food wholly or in part without pay
ment. 1t appears necessary to appeal
frankly to the American people, asking
them to elothe the destitute in the oc-
cupied areas of Belgium and northern
! France during the coming winter.
Even if these nine million people had
money they could not import clothes,
| or raw material with which to manu-
facture them. While some have cloth
| ing with which they can still get along
| the destitute are composed of working
people who had little reserve of cloth
/ ing when the war broke out. The only
additions they have received since then
have been from America, Canada and
elsewhere. BY Christmas all the cloth
ing which these people have will be
exhausted, and in such cases there is
the certainty that the inevitable ex-
Iposure of UNDERGRAD men, women and
children to the bitter winter will great
lily increase mortality. If they are to
be clad it must be from gifts received
for that purpose and those gifts must
come largely from the United States

wooden clothing for women and girls,

suits of all descriptions Clothing and
material must be new. This is so be-
Icause the sanitary arrangements made
by the governments through whose ter
ritory freight must pass, make the in
production of secondhand clothing
practically impossible. The request
therefore is frankly for new clothing
and more particularly for un-made ma

these stricken areas are industrially
lparalyzed. Millions are idle and the
Icry from them is heard daily. Give us

COBB TELLS HOW.

Famous Humorist Gives Opinion a. to
- How to Succeed as Writer. II
In a few bits Of advice solicited by
Yale men on how to- succeed in the
business of writing, Irwin 8. Cobb. the
well.known humorist, correspondent,
and writer, said:
II don't think there is such thing
as a born writer. don't believe any
literary rooster was ever Matched that
could crow the day he pipped the shell.
I do think there are some who are born
not to be writer's. Writing is trade
to be learncd-like bricklaying, for In
stance. AS in any other trade. some
learn 1t faster and some learn 1t better
than others.
"From my observations" continued
Mr.. Cobb, II should say that college
education neither makes nor mars a
man if he is born to be a newspaper
mani do not say born newspaper
man. I suppose one could make two
parallel lists Of college and non college
men Who have succeeded in the literary
world. 1 am sorry did not get d
chance to 60 to college. for believe
it rounds oEt'a mans life when he Is at
a period when he is particularly re-
sponsive to the peculiarly beneficial
influences OF the college life and is en-
thusiastic for mere living.
"As for the.regular schools for jour-
nalism think they are without doubt
iustifying themselves. 1 don't think
any one could be graduated from one
Of them and at once become finished
newspaper man. but do think he
would stand better chance eventually
of becoming one than a man of equal
ability who had not taken such
course.

antidote for too much study of English.

washington-Friends Of w. G. Nc
Adoo, secretary of the treasury, were
alarmed by report that his illness,
resulting from the operation for ap-
pendicitis recently performed upon
him, had taken a turn for the worse
and that in consequence he was in
very critical condition. This report
was denied in part, but it was admitted
that the physicians in attendance have
found that Mr.. McAdoo was not in
good condition. His vitality had been
lowered by attacks of appendicitis and,
although he is now said to be con-
valescing, his recovery is proceeding
very slowly. His physicians said that
he would not be allowed to see any
visitors for three or four weeks more.
Mr.. McAdoo became impatient with
confinement in the Providence hospital
and overruled orders that he remain
there longer. He was removed to his
home on stretcher and stood the
journey well.

That is practically what an embargo

it will be wise for the government to
stop look and listen. The farmers. as
this is written, receive at their railway

CHAPTER v.
The Golden Autumn.

Sabron longed for q change with au-
4nn, when the falling leaves made
ths roads golden roundabout the Cha
teau d'Esclignac. He thought he
would Ike to 70 away. He rode his
horse one day up to the property Of
the hard.hearted unforgiving lady and.
finding the gate open, rode through
the grounds up to the terrace. Seeing
no one. he sat In his saddle looking
over the golden country to tho Rhone
and the castle OF the good King Rene.
where the autumn mists were like ban
ners floating from towers.
There was . solitary beauty around
the lovely place that spoke to the
young oflcer with a sweet melancholy.
He fancied that Miss Redmond must
often have looked out from one Of the
windows, and he wondered which one.
The terrace was deserted and leaves
from the vines strewed it with red and
golden specters. Pitchoune raced after
them, for the wind started them flying,
and he rolled his tawny little body
over and over in the rustling leaves.
Then a rabbit. which before the an.
rival of Sabron had been sitting com.
fortably on the terrace stones. scut-
tied away like mad, and Ptchounes
somewhat hindered by his limp, tore
after 1t.
The deserted chateau, the fact that
there was nothing in his military life
beyond the routine to interest him
now in Tarascon. made Sabron eagerly
look forward ito change, and he
waited for letters from the minister of
war which would send him to new
post
The following day after his visit to
the chateau he took walk, Pitchoune
at his heels, and stood aside in the
highroad to let . yellow motor pass
him, but the yellow motor at that mo-
ment drew up to the side of the road
while the chauffeur got out to adjust
some portion of the mechanism. Some.
one leaned from the yellow motor win.
dow ana sabron came forward to
speak to tho Marquise d'Esclignac
and another lady BY her side.
How do you do, Monsieur? Do you
remember u.s."

and your sick friend!' asked
Madame d'Esclignac keenly, did he

"Yes." said sabron. and Miss Red
mond, who leaned forward smiled at
him and extended her pretty hand.
Sabron opened the motor door.
What q darling dog!" Miss Red
mond cried. What q bewitching face
he has! He's an Irish terrier. isn't
he?''
sabron called Pitchoune. who d.
verted his attention from the chauf-
feur to come and be hauled up by the
collar and presented. Sabron shook
of his reticence.

said with courteous bow. This ia
