"Tomorrow You May Have No Son."

| "
 He too went out, but the laughter | followed him. It drifted out on to the courtyard, and rose with the stifiing waves of heat to the windows of the whitewashed room where Colonel Des- tlnn sat with his forehead pressed against his clenehed hands, listening It stopped at last, abruptly, tragicalIy, and Destinn lifted his head as though released from hypnotic trance. A little group of men in white drill uni forms were crossing the courtyard. They were carrying something between them-something that fought and truggled. .a--.,... -.
 Colonel Destinn's eyes were fixed on the broad red line which ran from north to south, past carefully marked towns and villages, through white spaces of open plain, skirting broad waterways and low-ridged mountains, to the immense yellow bank where 1t ended abruptly, like some proud thought that had come to nothing Colonel Destinn bent lower, his brows contracted in impatient bitterness. With a red pencil he struck off an inch of the great line and marked 1t with cross. The place of the seven hundred dead.
 The door opened again. He did not hear it. His knuckles were pressed against his forehead as though crush ing back an intolerable recollectioa. Only as he was addressed by name be started and glanced back over his shoulder.
 T must apologize, Colonel Destinn. \ ventured to come in unannounced. The sentry appears to regard me as one of the family with the right to come and go as I please"
 You have earned the privilege. Pray be seated"
 The visitor came slowly, haltingly across the room. He came to the table. but did not accept the proffered chair He stood in an attitude of listiess ex- haustion, his hands clasped on the heavy walking-stick, his face with its almost unearthly transparency half turned to the inpouring sunshine.
 'T was in the Arab quarter last night, Colonel Destinn. Ali-Mahomed's brother heads a fresh riging. There will be an attack from the north. The Arabs in the town are arming stealth fly. but they will only move If there has been success outside"
 Colonel Destinn nodded.
 That is interesting. If your infor- nation is correct, we shall have further cause to be grateful to you, Mir. Lowe"
 Tt is probably one of the last serv- ices shall be able to render, Colonel Destinn. I am retiring from the service"
 France will be the loser"
 Stephen Lowe did not speak for moment. He was gazing fixedly and apparently indiffevently at the great map spread out on the table before him.
 q wish to retire rich man, Colonel Destinn."
 Destinn looked up into the keen sig nificant eyes.
 You are very persistent Mir. Lowe" he said.
 stephen Lowe leaned forward; his frail body emanated sudden power and the knowledge of power.

THE TOWN MEETING.

Just because there is no change in the administration of town affairs for The ensuing year. because town off cers were elected a year ago for a period of two years. does not mean that there should not be a proper amount of interest shown in the an nual town meeting tonight This is the occasion when the appropriations are made for the next twelve months, when the needs of the town are con- sidered and when the tax rate is fixed and it is important that there should be representative gathering of the townspeople to take care of such vii tai matters.
 Even though there are DO unusual questions to be presented to the tax payers this is the time to give en- dorsement to an efficient administra- tion and to see that full provision for continuing such is made. There can be no question as to the necessity of the appropriations for taking care of the regular business of the town since they speak for themselves, but it is equally important that those which are chased as extras should get due attention and considerate treatment These matters are few in number but great in importance and if they could be the appropriation for the Otis library and that for the tuition of the pupils at the Free Academy might we'll be included in the budget. The other pe- titions for small sums for providing equipment for the Yantic Fire Engine company and for the improvement of the Bean Hill green are certainly worthy of favorable action.

A coMMENpARlE MOVE.

The democrats Of the Norwich pro- bate district are to be congratulated upon the action which they have taken in endorsing the candidacy of. Judge Nelson J. Ayling for judge of probate. For long time its has been recog- nized that this office was too impor- tant to have it kicked about as a po- hticaI football. The office is one which should be outside such influence and the democrats have taken proper recognition of that fact by the plac- ing of the present incumbent upon their ticket, which action of course makes sure that he will be retained in office.
 Judge .Ayling has, filled. the position of judge of probate for a number of years in a manner which has given full satisfaction. He has worked with the determined idea of keeping it out of politics and of administering the duties with the utmost fairness, The experience which he had had has made him familiar with the intrfcaoies which are involved and the course which has been followed by the party of opposite poiitfcal faith is only in accordance with that which has been done in many of the other probate districts of the state.
 Thoroughly qualified for the posi- tion, not only by the experience which he has received since he has. held 1t for the past dozen years, but by his previous training, Judge Ayling as well ns the office deserves the action which was taken on Saturday, and it Gr1 to be hoped that it will establish 2

HAIRPIN CROCHET.

Maybe if you have been doing nee
 dIework or crochet long enough you
 will remember an oldtime vogue for
 crocheting over 8 hairpin to make
 very effective beading or insertion.
 This, together with many other old
 time knitting and crocheting pro-
 cesses, is coming back into vogue.
 It can be done on a rather large
 wire hairpin, or if a larger beading is
 desired @ wire staple may be used.
 lutely no thought, being, once the
 chain is started, purely mechanical. Use corresponding crochet thread and
 needle according to the list in some crochet book or the advice of your saleswoman al the art needlework shop.
 Knot the thread with a loop which you pull over the head of the hairpin, keeping the knot in back of the pin,
 the thread from the ball running up-
 ward. Now with your crochet needle grasp the thread from the ball, in serting the needle from the front of the hairpin and under the knot at the back. Bring the thread upward and | make a chain by grasping the thread from the back again but on top of ! the loop. Now turn your hairDin from right to left, leaving the needle in the chain but carrying the hook up over i the rounded head of the hairpin or l staple. The hook will then be in back i of the pin between the pin and the i thread.
 1 Now insert the hook through the | pin to the front and pick up the l loop on the left side of the pin, draw | ing the thread through from the back End then again through both stitches on hook. You virtually make a sim gle crochet through this loop. Turn the pin from right to left, thus bring | ing the hook to the near side of the pin again. Pick up the left loop again 1 pir; and repeat the process.
 When the work dccunulates it is
 pushed down off the ends of the pin,
 until a sufficient length has been cro- | cheted.

THE. WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Parenzo, on the Istrian coast of Aus tria, which according to the latest des patches was shelled by Italian naval : forces, is the subject of today's wal geography bulletin issued by the Ma tional Geographic Society from Wash ington:
 'FThe ancient basilica of Parenzo, which Austria claims has been dam aged by Italian shellfire from a fleet
 cruising off the west coast of the, Istrian peninsula, is one of the oldest and most famous ecclesiastical struc- lures in Europe. The campanile, the roofless baptistry and church proper date from the sixth century and stand on the site of an even earlier struc ture, probably of the third or fourth century, judging from the mosaic pavements and inscriptions which have been uncovered. The cathedral now standing was begun about Il years after the establishment of the Parenzo bishopric in 524. Some of the
 mosaic work in this building, which
 is dedicated to St. Maurus, is especi-
 ally brilliant, and in the apse walls
 there is rich inlay work in marble and
 mother of pearl, similar to that in
 the more widely known cathedral of
 Torcello, near Venice.
 'Parenzo enjoyed a. considerable
 trade before the outbreak of the war
 and the principal occupations of it's
 17,500 inhabitants, mainly Italians,
 were shipbuilding and fishing. The
 port is 35 knots by sea south of
 Trieste and 35 miles distant by rail.
 It is ten miles north of the interest ing town of Rovigno. the Rubiginum of the ancients.
 "The history of Parenzo goes back l to the second century before the Christian era, when it was known as
 Parentium. It was elevated to place of prominence by Augustus Caesar who established a colony here shortly after his overwhelming naval victory at Actium where Marc Antony fled, ignominiously surrendering all hope of a world empire in order to seek forgetfulness ir the caresses of the Egyptian siren Cleopatra.
 Under the Roman empire Paren- tium became a town of 5000 inhabi- tants within the walls, while 10000 people occupied the suburbs. During the ascendancy of the Venetian re- of the Queen of the Adriatic, and as a result in 1854 was sacked by Gen. oese fleet commanded by one of the famous Doria family which figured | conspicuously in the history of the | west Italian city during the 14th cen I tury.
 | ''In adition to the famous cathedral, | Parenzo guards the interesting ruins l of two Roman temples. The peninsu- i Ia on which the town is built is sup posed to De Subsid1ng gradually into | the Adriatic as the pavements of the l Roman period are three feet below the l present street levels, while the city | site today is in no place more than 1 five feet above sealevel. Overlooking l the port from an island at the mouth | of the harbor is a lighthouse.
 | "A few miles to the south of Par enzo are the Brionian Islands whose 1 quarries furnished practically all the l stone for the palaces and bridges of i medieval Venice

GOING AND COMING.

You would not expect to find a des- cription of cottage mail boxes among needlework notes, but that is exactly where these newest boxes belong, for they are made with needle and thread. They are made of heavy cardboard or a light wood, like that of cigar boxes, and covered with cretonne to match the Shangings in the living hall, or dining room. A disk of the board is first covered with cretonne. To this is joined with a pulling of cretonne a smaller disk inclosing a bit of mica upon which the words, Outgoing Mair' or Incoming Mail" are lettered. Now this should be enough of a sug- gestion for any number of cute hold CTS for the mail as it arrives or is ready for the post. Cigar boxes may form the foundation of these wall pockets, which can be made as ca pacious as one likes, and may be cov- cred with bits of the hangings, or with the wall paper or even painted in bright shining colors.

PEACE WITH HONOR, NOT Hu-
 MIIIATlQN.

President Wilson in his address to young democrats at Shadow Lawn Saturday launched out in an effort to answer everyone of the republican claims, and among other things to be expected following republican success in November, he said. is 'the certain prospect we shall be drawn into the enbroilments of the European war"
 Such of course was meant for sop to those who have placed so much stress upon the claim that he has kept us out of war. even though they give little or no consideration to the hu- initiation which has gone with such accomplishment It is a well known fact that this country doesn't want war, and that it does want peace, but it wants peace with honor. Such is the desire of the republican party and it's standard bearer and such is the assurance, instead of prospect of war. which will accom- pany republican success in the na- tiona1 election.
 President Wilson is fully aware of this, for he must know that MT Hughes said in his speech of accept ance that "It is a great mistake to say that resoluteness in protecting American rlSntS would nave leu Co war Rather in the course lay the best assurance of peace. Weakness and in- decision in the maintenance of known rights are always sources of danger. We should not have found it difficult to maintain peace, but we should have maintained peace with honor"
 That has the true ring of American ism. President Wilson has not been criticised for maintaining peace, but for the spineless manner in which he did it. Republican success means not war; but an administration of deeds, not words. Thus the president can anticipate a change in the country's foreign policy if the republicans are successful, but there will be no de- parture from the policy of peace. It will, however, mean the abandonment of the policy of peace with numilia- tion for peace with honor.
