Mother Ross, the Trooper, Was Buried
With Military Honors.
For u member Of the SO called weaker
sex to be laid to rest with military
honors Is an event of rare occurrence
and no less distinction.
To earn such tribute argues sery-
ices of the highest merit, and very few
women have had the opportunity Of
qualifying for such honors, still fewer
having achieved them. ~ e.,.a.z
OF these few, perhaps the most ia
military romance. In the year 1893
she Joined the army as a man, and
It was not until she had served for
thirteen years that her real sex was
discovered.
As a trooper In the Scots Greys she
took part in the battle of Families and
was hit by almost the last shot fired by
the French, Then it transpired that
she was a woman. Later she married
soldier and In the capacity of regi-
mental cook accompanied him on ac-
tive service. ...
So imbued was she with the fighting
spirit that when any scrap was go
ing on she would abandon her sauce
pans and fire her musket with the best
of her comrades in arms. By Queen
Anne she was granted pension of a
shilling day on her retirement.
Her death took place in 1889, and she
was laid to rest in the burial ground
of Chelsea hospital. The funeral was
conducted with full military honors,
earned by right valiant service on
many battlefield London Answers.

THE CRESCENT MOON.

Artists Have a knaok of Getting u

II is astonishing how many artists
SPOIL what otherwise might be good
pictures by enormously depicting the
cuncave side of the moon turned to-
ward the place of sunset, writes Percy
Johnson In Popular Astronomy. The
convex or lighted side of her crescent
is always presented to that part of the
sky in which the sun Is situated.
The new moon appears first as deli
cate crescent In the evening soon after
sunset and sets almost Immediately.
The following morning 1t rises soon
after the sun. Night after night 1t ap-
pears rs q larger crescent farther and
farther from the sun, but always with
the illuminated side directed toward
the latter
When about seven days old the moon
shows half her surface lighted up. She
is then in her first quarter" and Is
Just ON the meridian at sunset. The
gibbous phase Is now entered upon I'M
til full moon, when she rises as the sun
sets and Is on the meridian at midnight.
Now the light begins to disappear on
the side opposite the sun and the light
ed side Is directed toward the east.
She rises about midnight when she has
reached her last quarter" and gradu-
ally the crescent diminishes, and she
is seen only In the light of the dawn.
Then she is lost in the suns rays to
emerge again few days later as a
new moon in the west.

ORIGINS OF GAMES.
Tennis ls Very Old and Comes From
the Greeks and Romans.


Tennis is perhaps the oldest Of med
ern games. 1t is said to have original
ed In the ball games Of the Greeks and
Romans The racket was introduced
during the fifteenth century in France,
where the game was very popular, and
imported into England about the same
time
or the origin OF cricket we know but
little. though it was possibly identical
with the club ball Of the fourteenth
century and was FIRST called "handyn
and handoute."
Bowling greens and alleys were once
plentiful In London, and Henry VIII.
made an alley at Whitehall. The earli-
est trace of the game appears in an
old print of about six centuries ago.
Few perhaps know that London's
famous thoroughfare, Pail Mall, deriv-
ed its name from an old "Palle Mile"
court which stood on the site 300 years
ago This game was a form Of Gro
quet-
Golf or "goff'' seems to have made
Its first appearance In the handy ball
Of Elizabeth's reign, which was played
with a club tipped with horn. Prince
Henry, the son Of James l.. occasional
~ played at this game. which was
very popular among the young noble
men Of his day.
Football became such a rage with
the London youths of the fourteenth
century that law was passed to pro-
hibit 1t being played, as archery-then
an important branch of education
was becoming thoroughly neglected.

Harding's Road Views Wanted.

Des Moines, Iowa.-Iowans interest
ed in the road question as it concerns
the present election are anxious to
know exactly what William L. Harding
stands for upon this issue.
Mr.. Meredith, his opponent, has
made clean cut stand, based upon his
speech at Atlantic, has announced his
opposition to bonds, and has made a
clean cut stand against forcing road i'm
provements upon communities which
do not desire them.
He has also declared that in his belief
roads should be reduced to permanent
grade as soon as is possible, and that
more efficient administration can bring
ahout''great improvement in roads with
out higher taxation.
Mr.. Harding, however, has announc-
ed no definite program. In fact his at
titude upon the question varies with
where he happens to speak. In some
of his addresses he has condemned the
state highway commission, in others he
has been silent upon the commission.
As in his attitude in regard to pro-
hibition, Harding is attempting to be
ali things to all men. A clean cut
statement of his.attitude upon the road
question would do much to clear the
situation.

Though these spiritualHsons are Il

Though these spiritually sons are the
creation of the Heavenly Father, yet
their quickening could not come with
out the Son.. Il Corinthians s:6.) Not
that the Son quickened them; but that
He died for the sin of the world, and so
opened the way by which any of Adams
posterity could approach the Father.
Moreover, since this called class must
still use their imperfect human bodies,
it is necessary that their Redeemer's
merit continually cover them as a robe
while they remain in the flesh; and be-
cause of their daily imperfections they
need Jesus to be their Advocate with
the Father, that they may continue to
be acceptable John 2:l.
The Pastor then demonstrated con-
clusively from Scripture that there are
two salvations therein presented; one
for the Church, the other for the
world. Hebrews 2:3; Jude 8; John
2:3; ets.) The Church receives life
from the Heavenly Father, through the
Lord Jesus Christ. The world will re-
ceive life as direct gift from the Son
who alone will deal with mankind dur
ing the incoming Age. Our Lord Jesus
will be the worlds Everlasting (Age
lasting) Father" But He is the
Church's Elder Brother. The world
, will not have access to the Father un-
til the close of the Millennium. The
Church has access now, through the
imputed merit of our Lord Jesus.
What the world will receive during
the next Age is something purchased
for them directly by our Lord. What
the Church receives is something far
above what was purchased by Christ.
This purchased human life they laid
down as a joint-sscrifice with their
Lord, in order that they might share
in His sufferings and in the glory to
follow. Jehovah's great Plan is being
carried out upon wonderful scale.

won, in spite of Mr.. Hughes s opposi-

They have secured currency reform,
rural credit law, child labor law, and
other measures of justice to agricul-

it was in force, felt myself free to
aid in rewarding deserving democrats,
wherever it could be done without det-
riment to the service. My regret is
that was able to reward SO few of the
multitude who are deserving, measured
by their political service, by their ca
pacity and by their fitness for the work
to be done.
In q republic where the government
is good only when the people are will
ing to undertake the labor necessary to
make it good, political zeal and will
ingness to spend time and money in be-
half of remedial legislation can never
be legitimate objection to political ap-
pointment. Those who can raise cam
paign funds by mortgaging the govern.

privilege may scorn the labors of the
unsel6sh, the unpurchasable, and the
unfrightened political workers, but
those whose only appeal is to the con-
science and patriotism of the masses
will not hang their heads in shame at
any legitimate effort that may be made
to introduce into government employ
ment those who combine heart inter-
est with the service rendered by brain

is not to be despised-he is as much en-
titled to recognition as deserving

ple," and insure its administration, &C
