ELIZABETH THOMPSON

The first woman to be given the freedom of the House of Represen- tatives was Elizabeth Thompson who was born at Lyndon, Vt, 95 years ago today. In her latter years she was famous as plaiIanthropist. and it was in recognition of her purchase and presentation to Congress of Francis B. Carpenters painting. "The Signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln in the Presence of His Cabinet" that the novel honor was conferred upon her by the law makers of the lower House. Mrs. Thompson was the daughter of Sam uel Powell, Vermont farmer, and at the age of nine she became a ser want girl. She developed into a woman of remarkable beauty, and ac- quired a good education, chiefly by her own efforts. While visiting Bos- ton. when she was 22 years old. the lovely servant girl so attracted the attention of Thomas Thompson, millionaie, that they were married within a year. When MT. Thompson died his widow inherited the income of his immense estate. She gave large sums of money to various causes, and became the first patron of the Ameri- can Society for the Advancement of Science. Mrs. Thompson founded the town of L0ngmont, Col, giving each Jcolonist $40 acres of land and $500. She died in 1899.

PARTED FROM GOOD
 HUSBAND AND CHILDREN

J. w asks: May I write of my troubles? I am 15 years a married man. Love her best on earth. reside on a farm. Man and wife came to my house three years ago. My wife thought him the only man worth car ing for. I became jealous of them. SHe became angry. One day came from town, tired, she told she was go- ing to leave me. tried to persuade her that I hated to see her go. She was so dissa tfsaed, T gave her money and took her to the train. She left me and our two children to live with that pair. Was I to blame in Earboring them at first? was always good. Gave her everything, clothes, and much I couldn't scarce afford. Please tell he what am to do.''ss
 It is a thousand pities than good husband and children should suffer from the follies of a wife who goes away from thern.r The man chosen in stead is worthless, soon tiring of the eIoper. In disgrace, she often returns to good husband and is forgiven. Have patience, hope and a kind heart, and for your chiIdren's sake you will win her back. She is sure thus to be- come penitent and will try harder than ever to be true and good in the future.

1.-THE BLUE BELLS
 OF SCOTLAND"

While the English ToTnmies at the front have shown a preference for strictly modern music hall ballads when the spirit moves them to burst forth in more or less joyous song, the Scotch soldiers cling to the old bal lads of their fathers, and one of their favorites is 'tThe Blue Bells of Scot land" It is not generally known that this charming song was written by a woman, Annie McVicar Grant. She was born in Glasgow 161 years ago today, Feb. 21, 1755, the daughter of a British officer who fought in the American Revolution. Annie and her mother followed to America, and An lie lived in Albany, N. Y. from her third to her thirteenth year. Her parents then returned to Scotland, and Annie became the bride of an army chaplain. She had written many verses, but none were published until she was advanced in years a widow with eight children, when she collect ed her verses and successfully pub Ished them by subscription.

FIFTY WOMEN
 OF FRANCE GET WAR DECORATION
Wife of Dr. Alexis Carrel of Rockefeller Institute
 Among Them.

Paris. Feb. 21-About 50 women altogether have been decorated with the War Cross, including Madame Carre1, wife of Dr. Alexis CarreI of the Rockefeller Institute. The honor was conferred upon Madame Muenier, nicknamed Madame Daredevil" af- ter her death. She, like the four Va tel sisters of Vertus in the Marne, earned the honor of feeding French and English soldiers at the risk of her life.
 These were all absent from the Trocadero War Cross Fete, but many others were there, including Madam oiseIle Marcel1e Semmer a girl of 20 who rendered great service when the Germans came down the Valley of the Somme. Through her daring scout ing, the French located a German battery and destroyed it. She provis- toned an advance post beyond the first line of trenches over open ground exposed to the enemy's fire. She was wounded there Sept. 80, 1914. She kept alive 125 old men, women and children of the neighborhood of Ec- lusieu who had taken refuge in cell lars. She furnished civilian costumes to French soldiers surrounded by the Germans. and enabled them to escape. In the absence of the lock keeper. she opened the flood gates of the canal and considerably retarded the advance of the invading forces.
 Three times the Germans caught her almost in the act of hostility, but she slipped through their hands. Finally she was ordered to be shot. 'tAll right she said, looking the Ger man officer straight in the eyes with out hinching: ttI have only one thing to ask and that is that I be shot with French rtf1es-not German" The French artillery interrupted the ex- ecution, and General Baret a few days later decorated Mademoisel1e Semmer with the Cross of the Legion of Honor before the troops.
 Louise Dussait of Hainaut, Eel giunn, member of the Red Cross com mittee ofs Ypres. joined a. field hos pital at the beginning, was cited by both the English and Belgian armies for her heroism during the bonn bardment of Ypres and finally decor ated by the. French with the War Cross at Calais in the presence of the garrison.
 One nurse among those at the Trocadero wore the Moroccan medal beside the war cross. and several wore the Cross of the Legion of Honor.

LITTLE BENNY'S NOTEBOOK

 Sumbody awt to tell her, lets toss up and see who tells her, sed Sam.
 Wich we did, me losing, and ran aftir her, saying, Hay, lady, your shoo lace is united, you mite trip over it and brake your neck.

WHAT A RAILROAD
 TICKET COVERS.

A railroad sells transportation, but it sells something else along with it. It sells service The price of a railroad ticket covers both.
 Transportation means the same thing on all railroads. SERVICE may mean a very different thing on one railroad from what it does on an- other.
 Service means all the comforts which the equipment furnished pro- vides. It also means the kind of treatment accorded the patron of the railroad while he makes use of this equipment. Respectful, courteous, and painstaking attention to his com fort on the part of agents, conductors, brakemen and porters-tI1is is one of the most important elements of good service
 A railroad that has a reputation for good service has an asset of incaIcula- ble value. It is service which brings patronage to the railroad. It is ser vice which keeps business once it has been obtained by the railroads so- licitors. Any inattention towards the railroad patron by the railroad em- p1oye, any discourtesy. any display of bad temper or an unwillingness to please or to be acconnm odating, is a partial breakdown of railroad ser vice"
 Railroadz service begins at the ticket office when the railroad patron buys his ticket. It ends at the station where he a1ights. Between these two points should stretch the railroad smile. It helps business.
 First impressions count for much in life. That is why a smile at the ticket office window and a display of affability, courtesy and willingness to answer questions and give informa- ton on the part of the agent is essen tial to good railroad Service" It creates in the mind of the railroad patron a pleasant picture of the rail- road.
 And this picture is likely to be re- tron of the railroad is helped on the train by the brakeman or conductor. if he finds his comfort looked out for, his inquiries answered pleasantly, his ticket asked for with a smile, and as- sistance offered when he alights. All this means service.
 Good service depends not only upon what you do. but upon the way you do it. That is true whether you be a, clerk in a drug store or a brakeman on a railroad.
 Smiles are remembered just as we'll as frowns. The one helps to make service good; the other helps to make it bad.
 A smile is like putting money out at interest. A frown is worse than a, bad debt.
 The public prefers that railroad whose service, from the ticket win dow to the terminus of the journey, is made up of smiles, kind words and thoughtful acts

American Women's
 War Hospital Has
 An Excellent Record

London Feb. 21-Ninety-e per cent of the wounded soldiers treated at the American Women's War hos pital have been cured or improved, according to report just issued on the second thousand cases handled by that institution. The hospital is at Paignton. South Devon, with Sir William Osler, formerly of Johns Hopkins, as consulting physician, and Dr. PenhaIlow as chief surgeon
 The report shows that of the sur gical eases sixty three per cent. were cured and -thirty-three per cent inn proved. The same percentage of cures and improvements were secur- ed in medical cases In the thou sand cases there were but five deaths, or considerably less than one per cent.
 The promptness with which relief is given on the battlefield immedi- ately after they are wounded is brought out by the statistics of the report. Of the total wounded cases. one quarter of them had received i'm mediate first aid field dressing, an additional thirteen per cent. had re- ceived this field dressing within fif- teen minutes. Another twenty-five per cent had been treated on the field within one hour of being wounded, while a. small remaining percentage were treated within a. few hourS,. and a very few after a long delay of for ty-eight and seventy-two hours.
 Gas-poisoning is one of the prin- cipaI causes of the cases treated, and while typhoid has been largely reduc- ed there were seven cases The mum Der of amputations was fourteen. which, considering the number of ser ious cases, was an exceptionally favor bIe showing.
 As showing the different classes of wounds received in action, the follow ing percentages were given on per forating wounds: ShrapneL, 12 per cent; shell, per cent; bullet, 39 per cent: grenade, 1 per cent. In surface wounds the percentage of shrapnel injury is greater and of bull let injury less. The wounds from bayonets is the smallest, being less than 1 per cent.

LEAP YEAR.

Beware, ye merry bachelors,
 And WfdOwerS forIorn, This year your doom is sounding,
 Your safety's laughed to scorn- It is the season Hateful,
 And small use 'tis to raa, When the female of the species Pops the question to the male. For three years men are choosers And pick the maids to wed, And maids must be contented
 If they are left, or led Unto the marriage altar;
 But with the fourth the fraH Weak females of the species
 Leads the weak and trembling naaIo 'tWonan's game and mans the hunt

 Say conventions of the race; But in leap year this reversed is And the man pursuit must face, Or run for life and freedom,
 While she camps upon his trail: For the female of the species
 Is much sharper than the rnaIa.

IS A POPULAR MANS
 WIFE WE'LL LIKED ?

'sThe heights by great men reached
 and kept
 l Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions
 slept,
 1 Were toiIing upward in the night
 The girl who weds a popular young man is apt to throw half of the social responsi bfIities upon his shoulders. She thinks that she can select just the women to entertain whom she likes best
 Little or no effort is made by her to make it pleasant for other women with whom she comes in contact: She knows her husband is so popular that women will invite her to their affairs whether they like her or not. She in dulges in sarcasm if she feels like it, realizing that the women whose hl1s- bands look to her husband for favors will bite their lips and hide their cha grin under smile instead of retail iating.
 She is such an important factor in his life that he is influenced by her Judgment. If she is opposed to some parti cular woman no matter what ular man is afraid to urge his friends advancement in opposition to his wifes will
 The man who is extremely popular outside of his home rarely has the good fortune to be so highly esteemed lin the bosom of his own family. At his own hreside, he meets a feminine WaterIoo1, to whom he must surrender if he would have peace Most wives of popular men are proud of them
 Once in while, we run across a wife who is actually jealous of a hus- friends he makes. They visit his home, dine at his table, like him i'm mensely, but they find it hard to en- tlure the companionship of his better half The wife of popular man can do much to help him climb the ladder of prosperity. Or she can do much to pull him down, if she but knew it. She can endear herself to neighbors and friends to such an extent that he may obtain without struggle the high est office. Or she can make herself so unpopular with women that their hus- bands are almost at loggerheads with him.
 Then there is nothing for it but to move from one neighlborhpod to an- other. It is a, calamity for the popular mans unpopular wife to set her chill dren to thinking they are better than other children around them or at school There is trouble when her lad receives 3, thrashing from othe.. spir- tied boys when her girl is taunted with: Nobody likes your mother! Every one likes mine better"
 Soon or late, such a. wife's eyes are opened. She sees her mistake. It must be said to her credit that she is often willing to turn over a, new leaf that she may be a help, not a. mill stone round her hsband's neck. It is the dty of ever woman to try hard and make herself beloved by high and low, rich or poor, every one with whom she is brought in contact. That is the true secret of popularity
