Heroes Can't Understand It.

How much this meant to him Johnny
Doughboy did not understand until he
reached the border. On the way down.
at towns through the middle west, he
was feted by motherly women and
,heered by girls who gave him their
addresses and gazed at his uniform
and Announcements as at the trappings
Of knight.
Being a hero. he made acquaintance
among the fair sex without trying.
They came to him and. casting aside
maidenly reserve. asked his name and
gave their own.

amid heat and dust and an eternal
sunshine that blazes Mt him all the

Married men among the Illinois

families is jeopardized by their SO

This was the positive declaration of
Brlgadier General James Parker, the
commander of the Brownsville district,
when the subject of coercion ON the
part of some Chicago employers was
brought to his attention.
This situation was bound to arise"
said the general. when the employ
ers consented to take care of families
of their employees who would suffer
keenly by deprivation of salary the
impression was general that the army
was going into Mexico soon. This has
not happened. Now this problem arises.

home unless he feels his family is not
going to suffer in any way by his alb

But. general" protested some one.
