4 well-dressed young woman stepped
of the elevator in one Of the depart

way toward the millinery department.
From the manner in which the floor
walker stepped up and addressed her,
calling her by name, it was obvious
that she was a. customer whose pat

buy a hat, she informed the floor

the customer saw the best in the store,

Of human nature, was ELUSIVE in her
attentions, but she had heedlessly dis

you English?"

over her eyebrows. my name is Eng

"Ah, yes, Miss English, I noticed
that. Are you any relation to Captain

Trsin oeafened Soldiers to Work.

According to official estimates, more
than $4,000 German soldiers have lost
their hearing in the terrible battles
of this war. To enable these unfor-
tunates to earn their bread after the
war, a number Of schools have been
established, with the aid Of the gov
ernment.
The largest one is in Hamburg, and
has about 300 pupils, who receive very
careful instruction, and in compare
lively short time become proficient III
lip reading. Many Of them are able
to take up their former trades and
professions again, but some have to be
trained for other vocations. About 10
per cent have their hearing partly re-
stored by delicate operations and spe-
cial training.
Recently 80 deaf soldiers were grad
uated" from the Hamburg institute.
Among them were three lawyers, two
school teachers, FIVE clerks and book
keepers, two civil engineers and two
Office managers, who all have returned
to their former occupations.

MIGHTY IN SiMEWS OF WAR
Is Wealth Is Any Test This Country
Gould StaaGer Any Hostile
Combination.

II we accept Professor Atkinson's
estimate that tine Civil war cost S8,-
0Q0,G01, 900, and remember that the ma
tional wealth, including slaves, was
placed by IT, , census at only $685.
616,O6S il 1850, and at only little
more than $4,000, 100000 in depreciat-
ed currency even five years after the
war had ended, it is seen that the
struggle between the states cost be-
tween one-fourth and one-half Of their
then existing wealth.
All calculations as to what wars
cost are subject to grieyous and even
monumental errors, Albert W. Atwood
writes in the Saturday Evening Post.
But this much we know: The north
raised nearly s4,0OO,000,OO0 in loans
and the south raised s2,000,000,000.
Call it S6,o0o,O00,00O actually obtained
for wa purposes by the two opposing
sections.
If the north and south In conflict
could spend s6,00O,0O0,G00 on war half
a century ago, what could the united
country assemble for such a purpose
today, with ten times the wealth? This
country has puny, negligible ma
tional debt. The European countries
were enormously-almost ruinously-
in debt before they began their war,
some Of them with ten to fifteen times
as much debt per capita as the United
States. Yet they have already foated
s30,0OO,O0O,O00 Of bonds, and the end
is nowhere in sight.
The total aggregate wealth Of all
the belligerents is hardly more than
one-third greater than ours. If wealth
is any test this country could stag
ger almost any conceivable combina.
tiOn that might be formed against #
