Piety After SLAUGHTER.

The familiar story of the sharp
shooter who said after each shot, "And
may the Lord have mercy on your
SOUL" is matched by an incident de-
scribed In Ian MaIcolm's book, WAR
Pictures Behind the Lines" "The cap
tain of our guns" says the narrative,
was a priest; his altar few empty
cartridge boxes. First Of ell
he told us to pray for all for whom
he was going to offer the mass. Then
he added, Particularly l recommend
to your prayers the artillerymen whom
we have Just destroyed and he recited
the De Profundis.'"

Caustic Rehuke.

There is loud chuckling in British
naval circles over the latest story {:
Somewhere in the North sea" GER
tain fiotilla was ordered to proceed to
sea for gunnery practice. During the
practice heavy fog came on, and the
ship whose turn 1t was to fire did not
sight the target until within 300 yards
range. She Immediately opened fire.
and blew the target clean out of the
water. The senior officer of the flo
tilla, who is noted for his caustic
tongue, thereupon made the following
signal to the vessel In question: IS. o..
to captain of -: Why did you not
proceed closer and bite it?"

William f. Freedman. graduate of

periments in wheat production. Pro-

PRENTICE BARBER HAS HOPE
Lad From the Country Whom Shops
Patrons Fear to
Trust,

Perhaps he is 25 years old-he looks
to be about Is. From seven in
the morning until nine in the evening,
barring time off for meals, he stands
at the extreme end of a line of white
coated men, usually honing razor
or gazing off vacantly into space. The
oretically, be is barber Practi-
cally, says writer in the Indianapo-
lis News, he has not yet achieved that
position in life. Daily patrons have
never seen him welding a razor on
anything but his strop or hone. Every
day hundreds of customers visit the
shop. Business men, clerks, street
car conductors, wagon drivers and
others enter the barber shop doors
during the days course, but their ac-
lions are substantially alike. After
taking off coats and hats they gaze
up and down the line of waiting bar
bers, select the one nearest or pick
out an old favorite without so much
as glance at the youth on the end.
But IL, unfortunately, all the other bar
bers are busy, the youthful wielder of
the razor is more closely inspected.
Usually the prospective patron eyes
him steadfastly for a moment and then
sadly, slowly and solemnly, but finally,
shakes his head and sits down in a
far chair to wait until another barber
is unoccupied. 1t may be cowardice.
it may be only wise caution. But all
seem to be affected alike with dis
trust of the mild and rather wistful-
faced boy with a razor poised in his
hand and 8 hopeful expression on his
countenance. His fingers may be
deft, his touch light and sure and
his professional skill above criticism
in every respect, but nobody seems
willing to test his experiences. The
potentialities of a razor those great,
red hands and that mild, absent-mind-
ed face and look of youthful trustful-
ness are too great. Meanwhile the
light SENS TO die out of the young
BARRIERS eyes and they become sad
der with each appraisal in which he
is judged and found wanting. Nobody
knows with what fond dreams he
left little country town not long
ago, after lesson or two, perhaps,
in the village barber shop, and came
to the city to earn an honest living
and become some day-oh, doubtful
hope-a head barber! In him there
may be the making Of a great bar
Der; perhaps already he has attained
a rare degree of excellence. If so his
praises remain unknown and unsung.
In sight of that tranquil face and those
awkward hands in such close proxim-
ity to a dangerous-looking razor men
lose their hardihood.

NOT A FRIEND TO BE SOUGHT
Man Who Continually "BIows His
Own Horn" Is as General Prin-
cipIe to Be Avoided.

Beware Of the person who is contin
ually telling you Of the good he's do
ing.
Something about that man is not
right.
He has some reason for desiring to
make you think him better than he is
He either wants to work you into
something, or he wants to reach some
I41e else through you.
The man who does deeds Of kind
ness, prompted by heart which is
right, seldom tells of them. He might
mention one to an intimate friend, per.
haps, but then only incidentally.
The man who gives, not because he
really wants to do so, but because OF
some selfish desire, will never get
credit any higher than his own roof
His desire for effect and his insincer.
ity make him q man to be avoided
never trusted.
Look out for the man who wants you
to turn his grindstone.

WHY WOMEN

To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

4 Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" care they truthful 2"
why do women write such letters?"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia e. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements. Inflammation, liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,

BOOZE RING MAKES
ATTACK ON CARR

Calexico Chronicle: Petitions arein
circulation for the recall Of P. 4. Carr
IS q member Of the board Of city trus-
tees.
This much was learned last night
when one who has charge Of the petit
tions allowed peek to be had at them.
At the same time he allowed a peek
to be taken at two "wet" petitions,
which now have about 100 names, and
which have for their object the plac-
ing of saloons in Ca.exico.
The inference taken. from this, by
people who discussed the fact last
lest night, is to the effect that the
same men who desire to recall Carr
from the city board are endeavoring
to place Calexico in the list of saioon-
ridden cities for the first time in its
history.
Here are the charges that the recall
petitions place against Carr:
He is temperamentally unfit.
He is swayed by passion and preju-
dice.
He has secured a city job for a rela-
tive.
He is absolutely incompetent to con-
duct the affairs Of the city.
He is controlled by interests whose
sires are detrimental to the welfare
of Calexico.
About so people of the city have SC
far signed the petition containing the
above rlittering generalities.
And side by side with this petition
about 100 people have signed the pc
titions which would make Calex!cc
"wet." The wet" petitions, it is un,
Iderstood, have been in circulation 9
considerably longer time than the pc
titions against Carr.
When Mr.. Carr was informed last
right that recall petitions were actual
ly in circulation against him he offer
ed no statement as TO the charges that
are uade:c. -.
II is understood that the reference
to job, which it is alleged in the pc
tition that Carr secured for a relative
is the contract for sprinkling the city
streets and water the trees in tbs
parking places, which the board o.
trustees awarded to James W. Bragg
