and sped to the Alabama aboard a launch. Then MT. Frederick again demanded possession of the yacht and added that he also would take the big automobile from him as the prop erty Of the munitions company.
 Mrs. Hoaldley then spoke up and said she was the owner of the yacht and demanded the arrest of the law yer and the detective. Policeman OKeefe said if she would arrest them he would accompany them to the sta tion., So Mrs. Hoadley made the ar- rest and OKeefe took them to the West tooth street station, where Ar thur B. Smith. of the same law firm. soon arrived with ten one hundred dollar bills, which he deposited as bail for their appearance in the West Side court today on charge of disorderly conduct.
 The police said that if Mir Frederick had an attachment or writ of replevin for the yacht they would have seen that he obtained possession. Mir. Frederick saidk he intended to obtain court orders today for the yacht, the automobile and other things. MT. Hoadley and his family returned to the yacht last night. and it was moved away from the Columbia Yacht clus landing.

MOTHER LOVE FOR seN.

F. P. R. writes: Mother means
 we'll. In her advice to me my whole
 systemi rebels against the way she
 gives in on any subject. I tell her my
 ambition. Get lecture history Of some one else's doing. Snub of nose,
 religion with it. Church is all in mothers mind. So it's unbearable. try to be broadminded. I left home young. My ankle was broken. I was in hospital 19 weeks Mother, father. brothers, did not ask if I needed any, thing. Was 2,7O0 miles from nearest kin. Baby sick, out of work. I sent home for five dollars. Received lec- ture as answer-no money. Had re- verses. Failed Mother says I should ask her forgiveness for leaving home. Differ with her. Am strictly temper late. Try to better self. Mothers mis- trust cuts me. I am sensitive so It cuts me deeply. Kindly give opinion" You are both excited. More Is this
 so on your part, as times and oppor-
 tunity have been very unkind regard ing bettering yourself. Some women do not fully understand all hardships sons undergo. Others are easily per
 suaded that often the road they travel
 is hard. A helping hand often encour- ages some i'll, weak from failure. Re- ga rding a mother, her ideas of right she deems aid strict discipline. Her heart never wavers in it's fondness for you. Each does not see alike. Yield /, to your mothers Christian advice.
 Then you will have a happier future.
 Your hearts will go out to each other
 and clouds of ill will turn to you in a

THE GIRL OF TODAY

A woman who graduated 25 years ago from a leading girls seminary says she wishes she could go to school over again now. She longs not so much for the better instruction of to- day. HF feeling was that greater than this is the better spirit among the girls. At that time the competi- ton was as to which girl should have the most beaus dangling around. Suc- cess and popularity in society were the \ideals.
 Yet the school referred to is fam ous one of the best of its type in this country. Twenty-Five years ago it had an excellent faculty and a principal of high ideals and conspicuous effi- ciency The teachers did their best to impart high aims. But they could | do little against the temper of the | times. Women then were parasites on men. Their primary aim was to win masculine favor. to be the ''belles of ! the ball." and to have a little court | of flatterers always about them. The girl of today has a far more normal feeling about men. She is preparing for self support. and is more or less indifferent about marri- age. She is just as likely to marry
 
 however. This independence adds to i her elusivenessJ and really makes her more attractive. s A woman who recently made some visits with wealthy relatives in a large city. speaks of the industrious habits the girls she met were cultivating She said that every family she called on was having trouble in finding ser wants. In most of them she found the daughters of the family washing the dishes.
 | The business or professional girl has an independence which her older friends envy. She can pick and choose in marriage. Her mind is wholesomely occupied. and her pow CTS developed by meeting the prob lems of daily life. If later she mar ries, she is all the better equipped The problems of business and profes- sional life help her to meet the prob lems of the home.

 ! TODAY'S POEM ~~~~~~~-
FROM UNDER THE WILLOWS"

This willow is as old to me as life, And under it full often have I stretch ed, Feeling the warm earth like thing alive, And gathering virtue in at every pore Till it possessed me wholly, and thought ceased Or was transfused in something to which thought Is coarse and dull of sense. My soul went forth, and, mingling with the tree, Danced in the leaves; or, floating in the cloud,
 Saw it's white double in the stream I was the wind that dappled the lush The tide that crept with coolness to
 its roots The thin-winged swallow skating on the air; The life that gladdened everything was mine: Here. sometimes, in this paradise of pshade,
 Rippled with western winds, the dusty Halts to unroll his bundle of strange food And munch an unearned meal. can not help Liking this creature. lavish Summers bedesman, Who from the almshouse steals when nights grow warm, Himself his large estate and only charge,
 To be the guest of haystack and of hedge,
 Nobly superior to the household gear, That forfeits us our privilege of na- bait him with my matchbox and my pouch,
 Nor grudge the uncostly sympathy of smoke,
 His equal now, divinely unemployed, Some smack of Robin Hood is in the man, Some secret league with wild wood wandering things;
 He is our ragged Duke. our barefoot By right of birth exonerate from toll Who levies rent from us, his tenants all,
 And serves the state by merely being. Here The scissors grinder, pausing doffs his hat,
 And let's the kind breeze. with it's del icate fan,
 Winnow the heat from out his dark l gray hair,
 A grimy Ulysses, a wandered man, Whose feet are known to all the pop ulous ways
 And many men and manners he hath | seen,
 Not without fruit of solitary thought
 He. as the habit is of lonely men,
 Unused to try the temper of their | mind
 In fence with others-positive and
 shy,
 Yet knows to put an edge upon his
 speech,
 Pithily Saxon in unwilling talk. Him I entrap with my long suffering
 knife, .. And while his poor blade huns ava,
 in sparks,
 Sharpen my wits upon his gritt, mind.
 Tn motion set obsequious to his wheel , And in quality not much unlike. James Russell Lowell.

DOING AS OTHER GIRLS DO.

T seem in the midst of the cro"u
 The lightest of all.
 My laughter rings cheery and loud In banquet and hall.
 Around' me they 1atter and fawn- The young and, the old
 The fairest are ready to pawn
 Their hearts for my gold
 There is a class of girls whose life paths would not be nearly so rough II they were not influenced and led by their. young women associates. This is especially true of many who are making their own living, employed in store, office and factory.
 1Imid natures are always dominated by Nssertive ones. The backward girl who copies the tactics of a forward ' friend seldom plays the game satisfac- tdrily. The timid girl is shy among strangers, her companion is bold, sneeringlat her when she utters mild suggestion that it is not quite right to fiirt and laughs down her scruples. The shy girl has been in the habit of bringing home her pay envelope 1n- tact and placing it in the hands of her old mother every Saturday night. Her friend pooh-poohs that practice T spend the money I earn just as I please. If my folks at home didn't like it I'd go elsewhere to ive," she declares
 When the modest little girl works up sufficient courage to attempt to do likewise, goaded to it by her sneerine chum, she finds there is wide differ l that spring to her mothers eyes are rf,,l In ,,.a1,n of reproaches. The daughter finds she could never know a moments happi- ness if she persisted in doing as her ]companions do. They have their lives to live in their own way, but that way is not for her. Her mothers peace of mind. aye, and her counsel, are worth all the world of outside friendships to the wise girl
 The friendships of girl companions wear away usually in due course of time. Newer comrades oust the old Echum, and there is not a. trace of re- gret. The ties of home and mother grow stronger, tenderer, sweeter with the passing of the years. Every girl should be her own natural self and not try to copy the methods of the girls who seem more popular than she refusing to be. led into paths she knows she should not enter, making 1 friends with strangers who have no, been properly introduced to her. al lowing herself to be, induced to dress fiashily and, ,indulging in extravasan. cies which are beyond her means. I When girl advises her companion to keep secret from her mother he1 words should constitute a danger sig. nal to beware. She is a false coun- selor. not a true friends. She who at. tempts to do as other girls do has nc irdividuality\ She will lack confidence to forge ahead and will always be kept down by the women she comes ir contact with.

Frederick and the detective en. gagged a launch at the yacht club land- ing at four o'clock yesterday after. noon and went out to the Alabama anchored in midstream. They went aboard, surprising the captain, and demanded that the anchor be hoisted and the vessel proceed to another an. chorage.
