al true STORY of a Lady.

Scribner's Magazine: In the hour
of need we may turn to the anecdote
which supplies the concrete illustra-
ton of the essential fact. And it
would not be easy to find an anecdote
more significant than one which has
been told in New York In the course
of this terrible war. A Frenchwoman
engaged as a teacher in an important
school of the city, was so ardent an
advocate of the cause of her country,
that when she heard casual &C
quaintance make sighting remark
about France, she up and boxed his
ears. This, you may say, was all the
evidence needed to prove that she was
not lady, in any exact use of the
word. But even if under temptation
she fell from grace on this one oc-
casion, none the less did she possess
the indisputable instinct which is the
vital factor.
Riding in a subway in the uncrowd-
ed noon hours, this Frenchwoman
could not help seeing that woman
seated opposite to her was in distress.
Finally, when. this woman began to
sob, the French lady crossed over
and sat down beside her, and said:
you seem to be in trouble. Can
do anything for your"
With strong German accent, the
weeping woman replied: Nobody
can do anything for me. This letter
has come today; and my eldest son
has just been killed in the trenches.
That makes three in the past month,
and L have no more"
The French woman put out her
hand. etNobody can help you," she
answered-"exce by sympathizing
with you. And perhaps you will be
willing to accept my sympathy when
/ tell you that my only son is now in
the trenches. l have not heard from
him in six weeks, and at any moment
a letter may come to me, as it has
just come to you, telling me that
have no longer a SON."
The German woman dried her eyes
and took the hand held out to her
She looked into the face of the un-
known comforter, and said: So you
are German, too?'
And the French woman unhesitat-
ingly replied: YES"
1t took a woman to make that
noble answer, and perhaps it could
have been made only by woman of
France, a country where the social
instinct is cultivated from the cradle.

Council in Ordinance Passed
This Afternoon, Makes the
Monthly Fee SIS for OPP
GRAFTON Here.
REASON FOR THE MOVE
Fine Of $25 to 500 or Thirty
Days Imprisonment in City
Jail Penalty for Sale
Without License.

Through an ordinance passed by the
city council this afternoon, all soft
drink establishments operating in
Keokuk will have to pay in the future
license fee of SIS a month. This
i license will give the drink parlors no
/ more authority than they now enjoy
and in no wise conflicts with the
state laws or has anything to do with
the liquor question.
All soft drink establishments oper-
ating in the city will have to have
licenses in the future for the sale of
temperance liquids only. and the sale
of any near beer or beverages Of a
similar character without a license
will be punishable with fine rang
ing from $25 to 500, or 80 days i'm
prisonment. The license held by any
proprietor will not render him i'm
mune from any search or raid that
may be conducted by city or state
authorities or in any way change the
penalty where bootlegging is proven.
Reasons for Step.
The council has several reasons
for charging license for the run
ming Of soft drink places. In the first
place a large number of Keokuk citi-
zens have requested it to take this
step, both as means Of revenue and
Tor the better regulation of the es-
Adjustments.
Another is that the city has the
power to charge license fee, given
in the state code, and the fact that
the local soft drink places have caus-
ed the authorities SO much trouble
has made the step all the more right
and necessary.
The matter of revenue to be derived
through this means has influenced
the city officials to some extent, and
also the fact that through this ar
rangement the authorities will have a
better chance to get at the illegal
liquor sales here
Following is the ordinance as pass
ed by the council:

WESTERN UNIONS
FINE new OFFICE
splendidIy Equipped Quarters at
Third and Main Streets, viii
be Opened the First of
Next Week.
DYNAMO is INSTALLED
Battery Room 10 Replaced With Mod.
ern Equipment and Convent
ences-cost Is About
$1,000.
DYNAMO IS INSTALLED

The Western Union Telegraph and
Gable company will next week move
into its new tfice in the library
building at Third and Main streets.
The office has been newly decorated,
new furniture has been Installed, and
the equipment is new and complete
throughout. The old battery room
is discarded and dynamos will take
the place Of the batteries. The office
will be made more compact, strictly
modern, and will give Keokuk as
fine an Office as can be found in many
cities of 100000 people.
The present Office was divided, the
partition running clear through the
old office. The battery room was
cleared out to give needed space, and
in the place of batteries an up-to-date
switchboard and dynamos have been
installed. Instead Of the operators
having to work at disadvantage as
they did in the old Office, they will
have everything at hand, and every
thing will be compact.
The Western Union is spending
something like $4,000 in remodelling
the present offices. 1t is the policy
of the company to install modern and
up-to-date fixtures, believing that the
returns which come from SUCH an ex-
penditure justify the expense. Better
facilities are afforded both the public
and the company employees in quar-
tiers such as are being fitted up and
which will be ready for occupancy
next week.
New furniture has been installed.
There is an oak counter at the front
of the Office, and the receiving desk
will be right at the operators hand.
The switchboard and dynamos will be
within easy reach. The ceiling lights
are of the latest type and will afford
brilliant illumination. for the Office.
The messengers will be sent from the
door at the side on Third street, thus
avoiding any confusion at the en-
trance on Main street.
f. B. Winbourn is the manager Of
the Keokuk Office and A. S. Russell is
in charge of the installation OF the
new eQuipment.
