Fighting at the Front
BY FLORENCE E. IODER

Say not that the days of Joan of Arc
and Boadicea are over! For the pres
ent time holds many women warriors
who are actually fighting in battle
with as great bravery as the men.
In the Russian army alone there are
said to be at least 400 women fighters,
including colonel in command of the
9Th Ural Cossack Regiment.
Even after their identity is known,
these women are allowed to 90 on
hghting; SO we may naturally conclude
that the Russian authorities are very
lenient-zmuch more SO than the
French and lillian, who have ignomin-
iously sent home all the would-be sol
diers who have been discovered to be
of the fair sex.
1t does seem a shame that they
should be sent home, doesn't it? Par
ticularly after having gone through
the strenuous training preliminary to
entrance into the army, not to speak
of having sacrificed woman's crown
ing glory, otherwise her hair, in the
EFFORT Of appearing man-like. The
long marches are, of course, very try
ing for a woman, and all the rough.
ways of life in the trenches.
besides the purely secondary fact that
death may be met at any moment.
When all this has been faced, it Ger.
tainly is disappointment to the
French and Italian women to have
their sex discovered and their only
reward for valor a severe lecture and
dispirited return home.
Hearing about these women of pres.
ent times reminds me of true story
concerning the American Civil War.
A little 14-year-old girl fought all
through that long struggle at the side
OF her brother, and, although he was
eventually killed, she emerged from
every action virtually unscathed.
The Confederate forces offered her
promotion If she would join them and
thus become traitor to her comrades.
Needless to say. she Indignantly re-
fused.

I. C. LOSES MONEY.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 15.-According
to its annual report filed with the
Mississippi railroad commission the
Illinois Central Railway suffered a loss
of $4.173,327.54 in operating revenues,
as compared with the previous year.
This falling off, according to the
figures, was due to the nationwide
depression and uncertainty of busi-
ness conditions.
The decrease was offset in ma.
terial measure by a reduction of oper-
ating expenses amounting to $3,2O5,-
1881. This decrease was occasioned
in part by the reduced volume of reve-
nues, and in part by increased operat-
ing efficiency. The net income of the
company for the annual period de-
creased $1,279,662.77.
Expenditures for road and eouIp.
ment during the year amounted to So.
S23,622.76, of which $6.O42, ,SO9.S7 was
for additions and betterments to road,
and $4,2S0,S12.S9 was for equipment.
The most important construction
work during the year was the compile
tion of the double track between Mem
phis and Fulton, Ky. This gives the
company complete double track from
Chicago to Memphis, and it is no doubt
its intention to eventually have COM
plete double track from Chicago to
New Orleans, although 1t virtually has
a double track now, as the heavy
freight traffic between Memphis and
Jackson is being handled over the
lines of the Y. & M. v. road.

BEDTIMESTORIES
FOR LITTLE
FOLKS
THE KING AND HIS woRkMEN.

THE KING AND HIS WoRKMEN.
Once upon a time there was a king
who was very rich, SO rich that he
made all the people work for him, and
gave them only very little money in
return.
The king became so rich that he
had to build large storehouse for his
wealth, and instead of paying the wise
man who did all the work, he took
them to his storehouses and showed
them all his wealth of gold and
precious stonesand told them much of
it would be theirs If only they worked
to help him get more. se
But this wicked and greedy king
did not stop to think he would one
day grow old, and that he would have
only his gold and precious stones to
comfort his old age.
One day he called one of his wise
men to him who had worked hard and
given much wisdom to the king, and
told him he did not need him any
more, that he had no more use for
him, and the wise man locked at him
and replied: mo, there is no more /
can give to you, but have much that
you have not taken from me and much
that you do not possess.
Beware, o king. for in your old
age you shall wish for that which
money cannot buy and which man
cannot give to you.
"You have crushed it out of your
heart and life, and some day when 1t
is too late. you will try to find it."
Then the king wanted to learn what
this great thing was, but the man said
1t was something he could not give
him, and the king laughed.
IF no man can give me this thing
then it cannot be worth money, and il
| is of no use to me-" replied the kine
and he closed his doors upon the wise
man and went back to his wealth. But
the king could not drive what the
wise man had said from his mind, ant
one night he had dream.
He saw himself an old man sittins
in the midst of all his gold and pre-
cious stones, with no one near him
and he was hungry and thirsty ant
cried out in his suffering for help, bu
no one came, and he suffered until h,
died in the midst OF all his hoardet
lwealth.

$4,000 FOR IMPROVEMENTS.

Columbus, Miss, Oct. 15.-At an ad-
1ourned meeting of the city council
men held Monday night the board pro-
vided for three much discussed and
needed mprovements-the erection of
high school building, the parking of
Main street, and the installation of a
White Way" on that thoroughfare.
The ordinances iprovide for the issu-
ance of bonds in the amount of $4,000
and of this sum $4,000. will be used
in improving Main street. These ordi-
nances, which are drawn SO as to COM
ply with the requirements of the code,
provide that the mayor and city coun-
Gil publish for three weeks notices to
the effect that they intend to issue the
bonds, and if no protest is filed within
that period the bonds shall then be is
sued and sold.
The Hattiesburg news., 1915-10-15

Then he saw another picture in his
dream; 1t was the home Of the wise
man he had driven forth. There was
no gold or precious stones about him.
but his face was smiling and happy.
and by his side sat his wife with love
shining from her eyes as she looked
at him.
Then the king heard the wise man
say: Il have that which no man can
take from me and which gold cannot
buy; love is in my heart and / have
your love. We are rich, my dear, with
riches which the rich man cannot un-
derstand, but which he longs for, vet
knows not what gnaws at his heart
strings. Let us give thanks to Him
who gave us the wisdom to under
stand hearts that can love and be
kind, for we have thought of Others
and caused suffering to no one."
A great light seemed to fill the room
where the wise. man and his wife sat.
and the king heard voice close to
him saying: Beware, o king, how
you treat your feilow-man, for it shall
be dealt out to you even as you deal
with them. Take not their wisdom
and pay them in silver when it brings
you in gold, for the day shall come
when neither gold nor precious stones
can buy for you peace of mind"
The king awoke from his sleep with
a start and arose and went to his
storehouse. He opened wide the doors
and called for all those who had given
to him their wisdom, and when thev
came he gave them from his wealth
what they had rightly earned. and
happiness came into his heart, such as
the king had never known before.

During the present war, the most
striking fact about yomen fighters is
their very tender years. Most of them
are between IA and is years of age,
and quite number have run away
from school or from home in order to
enlist. In the Russian army especially,
they have shown magnificent courage
under fire, and many of them have
been decorated with the famous Cross
of st. George. only given for great
bravery and heroism. s
One charming little Russian girl
called Vassili was discovered in rather
a humorous way. She had been given
the coveted cross for conspicuous
valor, and after severe fighting had
gone to sleep in a barn with some OF
her companions.
During the night there was a loud
scream of Mamma, there's a rat!'
from the brave vassili, and much to
the establishment of the soldiers, the
supposed young man burst into very
feminine tears. and at last had to be
treated for hysteria. 1t then trans
pired that she had run away from
home with her sweetheart's papers
under desperate longing to fight fol
her beloved coutnry--a wish which was
amply fulfilled.
However, she was eventually per
suaded to become a sister of mercy in
a Red Cross hospital, where l under
stand that she is still doing splendid
work.
Another heroine of the present wal
lis a pretty little French girl, Marie
Louise Dubois. Her sweetheart hat
been brought back to her home NOR
tally wounded and she had gone into
the firing line in his place, her identi
ty, of course, not being discovered.
There was magnificent charge, bu
the standard-bearer fell, and tn,
French line began to waver uncertain
ly. An instant's hesitation would hav,
been fatal; but, with a shout of en-
couragement, little Marie rushed for
ward and picked up the nag, leadin,
her fiance's regiment to victory.
