GEEl GUESS WE'RE TOLD THING OR TWO.

Evidently it somewhat up to the democratic press
Of Indiana to be just trihe cautious; likewise sundry
individuals Down from the capital comes word OF
warning through Herald selfstyed of Indi-

At 20: A contrivance used to open

At so: A continuance used to shut

Isn't that one of the wisest and
saddest truths of life? At 90 every
one we meet may be a friend
every new change is an opportunity,
every new day is a chance 10 see
and know and go ahead. IN later
years we must hook on to our tried
friends with a grip Of steel, as old
Polonius told his son. for every
newcomer may be an enemy. We
must dig ourselves in against the
evil possibilities Of change and pro-
vide ourselves with bOmbproOfs Of
property and position in which we
can take refuge from the ceaseless
bombardment Of the days. This dis
tinction is observable in every field
of human activity. Business suffers
because too many lOckers-up are

should be enterprises but are not.
The mental earmark OF these fellows

The ChiIdren,s Isle.

The Children's Isle.
(FTances Medhurst in Harper's Mas
azine.)
There is an isle, so legends say,
Set far and far from any land.
Where roses bud and bloom for
aye,
Upon whose blossom haunted
strand
The dear, dead babies run and
play
Or wander idly hand in hand.
Remote across the seas II lies.
This little isle so fair and far,
Wherein the souls of butterflies
The playmates of the children
are,
While sweetest songs imparidise
It's waving woods from bar to
bar.
The strains of long dead night
ingales
Whose mcsic here on earth is
dumb
Make magical the hills and wales.
AS over deeps no man may
plumb,
Borne softly on the sable sails
OF ships of stars, the babies
come.
Across those still and haunted
seas
No mortal keel may hope to
steer,
For none but ghostly argosies
To that enchanted isle draw
near.
In dreams alone it's mysteries
To longing mothers eyes are
clear.
The limpid laughter time has
stilled,
The tiny hands that clutch
and cling
None but the heart that these
have thrilled
Can guess the healing balm
NlACy bl-AA6s
Thrice blessed she whom God
hath willed.
To glimpse the babies pleasur-
ing.
What beacons flare to guide the
bark.
To that far isle, no man may
say.
No pilots chart, no leadsman's
mark
Has mapped those lonely
leagues of spray.
Alone OF all that thread the
dark
The souls of children know tho
way.

Meeting With Mrs. Abrams.

Mrs. c. w. Abrams and Mrs. Camp
bell were hostesses on Monday after
noon to the members of the Arts and
Crafts department OF the o. w. c.. at
the Abrams home on North First
street. There was no business ses-
sion, and the ladies just, enjoyed a
social visit and neighborly chat, Miss
Twnia Twyford of Cedar and Dwight
Abrams. gave most charming little
musical, of duets, solos and just de.
lightful music. Miss Twyford and
Mr. Abrams are both musicians of
ability. Guests of the day were Mrs.
Irene Golf Of Omaha, Mrs. frank Hen
ness of Keota; and Miss Twyford of
Cedar; also Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Burke
and Mrs.. Robinson, all of Oskaloosa.
Mrs. Abrams displayed an elaborate
outlay of fancy dork. the handiwork
of her daughter, Miss Helen. New
stitches and ways of making the dain-
ty work were eagerly sought BY the
ladies from the work which they were
shown. The refreshments which Mrs.
Abrams and Mrs. Campbell served
were unusually clever In design aud
most savory and luscious.

HIT With HEAVY DOOR
Richard Jones Sustained Severe Iu-
jury Saturday Night.

No one has ever accused Dick"
Jones of the Jones-MattheWs Compa-
ny of being hard neaded, but If his
bean" had possessed other than
qualities akin to solid bone, Dick"
would not be here this morning to tell
the tale. After effects, however, are
bad enough as it is. Richard was
rendered unconscious and has a bad
scalp wound and skin abrasion to
the story.
At the rear of the new Jones
Matthews location, No. POI High ave-
nue. west, is basement opening, pro-
tected with an unusually heavy, dou-
BILE thickness and double size door,
heavy as solid oak. During the re-
moval of the store from the former
location to the new home Saturday
night Dick was in the basement as
sisting in taking in goods. The hour
was late and Dick was Ilred and
about Fall in" He was standing in
the cellar opening waiting for the
next load Mr.. Jones leaned against
the cellar-way wall and laid his head
over against the door sill and closed
his tired eyes, while visions of his
downy couch at home tioated before.
And that's all Dick remembers until
he opened his eyes to find himself Il
center, of an anxious throng with a
physician giving directions.
About the time he had rested his
head against the side wall along
came a gust of wind that caught the
area of the lifted cellar door and,
wham!---it crashed down upon the
Uranium OF the unsuspeeting Jones,
like the headsman's ak upon the
waiting neck of the condemned vic
tim. ...... o.. u. .s,
Had Dicks head been little high
er. to receive the full force of the
weight of the heavy door as it slam
med shut the injury might easily have
been fatal, and instant death might
also be listed among the possibilities
OF the situation. 1t was bad enough
as 1t was. however. Mr.. Jones was
rendered unconscious. He was found
at the bottom of the cellar way, in a
heap, and was. carried above and as.
sistance summoned. .,.
Neither is Dick a sore head ordi-
narily, but it must be admitted today
that he has intense pains and many
hurts in the locality of his noodle.
He is game, however, and is on duty
but he admits that he has felt better.

NATIONAL GUARD
OFFERS MEASURE
Association Has Bill for Y. S.
Control of Militia.
MEN MAY BE SENT ANYWHERE
Measure Before Senate Committee
Also Provides Pay for State
Troops - Wants Peace
Strength of 100000.

Washington, Feb. I4.-The pro-
posals of the National Guard associa.
ton for liberalization of the state
troops were before the military com.
mittees Of congress in the form Of
bill drafted by representatives of the
association at the request Of the SEN
ate committee. The regulations con-
templated are given force by pro
vision limiting participation in the fed
eral pay feature to officers, men, or
organizations complying with certain
specified requirements. Enlisted men
would receive approximately $45
year. -
The maximum number OF troops pro
vided for by the bill is 500 for each
congressional district, or total peace
strength of approximately 100000, an
increase of 10000 over the present
strength of the National Guard. They
would form a separate branch Of the
regular army in time of war when
called into the federal service. The
act would take effect July l., 1916.
Provides Federal Control.
An enlistment contract would be re-
quired under which the soldier would
bind himself to serve the federal gov
eminent within or without the con.
tinental limits of the United States
for period of two years, or until dis
charged, should the guard be called
out at any time during his three-year
enlistment period. At least 4S drills
a year and participation in annual field
maneuvers would be required.
Members of both committees have
displayed keen interest In reports
reaching them that 10000 professional
men, students, and others already had
been enrolled to take a month of In
tensive military training this summer
at civilian camps. The committees
have been informed that more than
10000 men could be secured for
given to those willing to spend month
annually at military education.
Deadlock Is Threatened.
With respect to the military pro-
a tug of war between the senate and
the house.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the senate committee, stated that he
believed his committee would approve
and the senate also, his bill providing
for an increase Of the regular army to
100000 men, with a reserve of a sim.
liar number. The senator also stated
that he believed the senate would also
favor a stronger liberalization of the
militia than proposed by the members
of the house committee.
On the house side, Chairman Hay
said it was possible the committee
might concede q regular army OF 141,.
900 men, as recommended by Mr.. Gar.
rison. He said that II the senate went
higher than that the house would not
yield, and there was strong possibility
of deadlock between them.

ANNUAL MISSION DAY
Societies Had Charge of Services at
Christian Church Sunday.

The missionary societies were in
charge of The Sunday services in the
observance of their annual day.
The morning services were in
charge of Mrs. L. A. Rodgers, presi-
dent of the Woman's Missionary So
ciey. Mrs. f. X. White read the
Scripture lesson and Mrs. P. X. Jack
son led in PRAYER Mrs. J. A. Baker
sang two solos. Mrs. Ashley of Des
Moines, state president of the work,
was the speaker of the day. Her
addresses morning and evening were
full of facts, impressive and thought
full. She had most excellent atten-
ton, could be heard in any part of
the house and would cause even a
doubtful listener to think that surely
missions were a divine command.
An interesting letter was read from
Anna Cowdrey, the missionary whom
the Oskaloosa church is supporting
in InGia.
At $3.50 the February meeting of
the Woman's Missionary Society was
held There was a good attendance
of the members of the society and of
the Circle. Mrs. c. J. Burton led the
devotionals. Mrs. Richard Hull gave
a most interesting review of the
Kings Highway in India" Mrs. F.
J. Jarvis gave a sketch of the life of
Sam HigginbOthom, who has done so
much to brighten the lives of the Iep-
ers in India.
hn A. p1n do
Gail Frost, of India, was sung by
Mrs Baker and Miss Victor.
Three new members were received.
Following the meeting an informal
reception was given Mrs. Ashley.
" The Anna Cowdrey Mission Circle
had charge of the evening service.
This Circle organized less than a year
ago, has a membership of over fifty
young women who are most enthusi-
astic in their work Miss Mabel
Ware, the president, had charge of
the service The Scripture lesson
was read by Miss Ava Blair, the pray
er given by Miss Jessie Reid. A re-
sponsive reading of excuses for tax.
ing no interest in missionary work
and Scriptural answers for each ex-
case, in which eighteen young ladies
took part, was nicely given. A quar-
tet from the Circle sang very pretty
number.
Mrs. Ashley's address was a call to
service and made the hearers feel
that part of the burdens in the lives
of the people who know not of Christ
must be borEs by each one who
wears His name. Mrs. Athearn. the
Mother of the Circle. pronounced the
benediction
The day was one of profit and made
an impression on those who We're in
attendance at the various services,
which viii not soon be forgotten.
