near the firing line:
I'VE get it pretty stiff out here now

started for home.
Mary Ellen went into the room
where her aunts were sitting, and
went up to her Aunt Hannah. Aunt
Hannah" she said, Il have been a
very wicked girl" Both aunts looked
at her with surprise, but Mary Ellen
kept on with her story, and told them
everything about the shoes, and that
before she found that the shoes were
gone from the tree she had been trou-
bled because she had deceived them.
Il will work every day wedding the
garden" she said, until have earned
enough money to buy another pair Of
shoes. You need not have the boy
come again this summer" and then
she sat down and cried.
Her aunts knew she was truly re-
pentant when she offered to weed the
garden, for it was work that she very
much disliked, and they felt that it
would be a severe punishment, but
they told her how wrong it was to
deceive them, and Mary Ellen prom
ised never to do so again. Aunt Han

Larne Club for anvn.

The boy in the city must avoid many
sidetracks IL he desires to lead an
upright and useful life, says the Bos-
ton Globe. Constantly he is beset
with distractions which may lead him
astray into the ranks of the incompe-
tent, idle or even vicious. He is an
inquisitive, MISUNDERSTANDING crea-
ture, full of the great possibilities of
youth. His latent powers are pre-
cious; yet they are wasted with prodi-
gality akin almost to that of nature.
Hence the establishment Of the large
boys club in Roxbury, handsomely
housed and well equipped, means that
many boys will be given the opportu,
nifty to keep on the main line leading
to a useful life.
A boys enthusiasm is more often
aroused when he thinks he is playing
than when he is working at school.
The boys club can catch him when
he is enthusiastic and start that en-
thusiasm toward manly accomplish.

ADVANTAGES OF FARM YOUTH
Real country-5red Boy Realizes But
Slightly Great Value Of Home
Tralninp-Does Work Well.

The boy reared on the farm, who
has acquired the farming art by doing
everything that has to be done on the
farm, and who knows how to do It so
well that 1t almost does itself, has a
great advantage over the boy who at
college has to learn the art as well as
the science. It would be good thing
for every town-raised boy who attends
an agricultural college to hire out for
two years to good farmer Expert
ence will teach him things that will be
of inestimable value to him, says Wal
lace's Farmer Here is an example:
One Of the city men" graduates was
hard at work recently milking a COW
while his farm-educated friend easily
milked three. When he was told to
put harness on a horse, he was not
able to tell the front of the bride nor
the top of any collar from its bottom.
He did not know what a trace was, nor
its Office; and hold-back straps were
merely feathers that had to be wound
up out of the way somehow. The real
country-bred boy realizes but slightly
the great value of his own home train

MARY ELLEN.

Mary Ellen's mother died when she
was a baby, and her father, who went
on q long sea voyage, took his little
girl TO live with his two sisters, who
were maiden ladies and lived in the
country. Aunt Susan and Aunt Han
nah loved Mary Ellen very dearly. but
they were not used to children, and
when Mary Ellen was old enough to
want pretty dresses they could not
understand why gingham apron with
long sleeves and buttoned in the back
was not the proper thing for her to
wear to school, and they thought her
hair braided and tied at the very end
much more sensible than having it in
curIs around her shoulders.
Mary Ellen had black eyes, and
sometimes they would fash with anger
because her aunts dressed her in such
a quaint style. This summer, how
ever. they had bought pretty colored
material for her dresses, and the
aprons were laid aside. She also had
a pair of tan shoes and stockings to
match. Mary Ellen wore them on
every possible occasion, but her aunts
called them her best" and she did

DIPLOMATS WHO FALL DOWN.
Many Foreign Ministers Have Been
Recalled in Disgrace From the
United States.

In 1893 Washington asked the
French citizens committee of safety
to recall the French minister, Citizen
Genet, because of his speeches against
England, which involved the neutrality
of the United States. In 1906 the Span
ish minister was given his passports
OF the charge of bribing an American
newspaper editor to represent Span
ish arguments in a discussion between
this country and Spain. In 1909 Fran
els ]. Jackson, British minister to the
United States, entered a charge of
bad faith" against the United States
government in it's dealings with Great
Britain, and was recalled in conse-
quence. M. Guillaume Poussin, the
French minister. was recalled in 1S49
because he was guilty of impertinence
toward the American secretary of
state. In 1855 the British minister,
John F. t. Champion, was recalled on
the charge of making engagements for
recruits for the British army in the
Crimean war. In 1888 Lionel Sack

as an unwarranted intrusion in Amer
ican political affairs. In 1898, before
the official breaking off of diplomatic
intercourse between Spain and the
United States the minister at that
time, Enrique Dupuy de LONE. was
recalled because he wrote disrespect-
fully of President Mckinley; diplomat
ic relations were suspended under his
successor. The Turkish ambassador,
Rustem Bey, whose criticisms of the
United States aroused 80 much dis
cussion in the summer and early au-
tumn of 1914, left this country in Oc-
