Blanche Reed quizzed Edna indus
tTiOusly after learning of three of
these auto trips that had taken place
in one week. She upbraided her for
monOpoIizing this particular star of
the village social life. But Edna was
nOncOmmittal and only innocent,
happy and cOntented.
There came the day that called DR..
Trevor back to his duties in the city.
Quite an ovation was given him that
evening by Miss Reed and her cOterie
of special friends. Edna was not
present at the function. She sat in
the garden of the little home, feeling
sure that the last good-by of DR.. Ire
VOr would be for herself.
He came swinging along in the
mellow moonlight, CHEEKY and hope

roses. Let it guide me in silent paths
of duty that have made your life so
sweet and true"

PREPAREDNESS
A mail-order house recently re-
ceived the following letter from a
customer:

riage ordered last month. Please
send a single carriage in it's place.
This is an argument against pre-
paredness. "-Everybody's.

triples. Three were on base when
Shauno unloaded his and two scored
on Zeb's crack.
This, great batting strength was
what we had been led to expect from
the Hose. Russell was knocked out,
but FabeT finished strong.
With Terry playing we'll at short
and Weaver doing all that could be
desired at third, the reserve strength
of the SOx is again emphasized. Nc
Mullin was going at fast clip when
he was injured, his hitting being a
strong factor in the SOx run-making.
With the regular out of the game the
offensive end suffers slightly, but
nothing is lost on defense.
The oUtfield is similarly fortified
with extra men of high caliber and
it is these reserve men who will keep
the SOX in the race through the sea-
son.

He moves ahead with the speed ex-

posed in the first trio Of innings.
OF course, there have been games
when Vaughn has started on the bit
and has pitched unbeatable ball
every inning. And there have been
games when he has been hit late in
the game after being tight in the
fOTepaTt. But the first three are his
jinx.
The most hopeful aspect to the
Cub array is the manner in which
Mordecai Brown went in as a rescuer
fora little while. The veteran iron
man completely baffled the Braves
at every step and was plainly the
Miner of old, who used to pitch a
game for himself every three days
or so, and in between finish up for
some unfortunate cOmrade.
His first start a couple of weeks
ago in Cincinnati was not suspicious,
but this was largely because his
backing gaped with holes and the
brains of various athletes CONCEALED.
Give him fair to middling support and
he will be a factor in the Cub race
yet.
Even a. berth in seventh place has
not taken the steam out of the Tink-
critics and they are still playing dill
gent ball. They won the first game
in Boston by a fine ninth-inning rally
and rose in the ninth of the second,
only to be cut off by a double play.
So long-as a team fights this way, it
need not be considered beyond hope.
Good pitching is still the great de-
inand, as it has been ever since the
first ball Of the season was pitched.
Warm weather has been awaited, it
is here, and the pitchers are due to
show some of the qualities they are

Just as we were theoretically pat
ting ourselves on the back in the fond
belief that we have automatically
side stepped the dangers of interna-
tional complications we are suddenly
confronted with the possibility of Sc
rious trouble with England over her
now famous blacklist. First it was
Mexico, and after long months of notes
and talks and confabs and the mobil-

peared in the clouds and war was de-
ferred, at least. Then differences with
Germany arose and for long time we
tottered on the brink of deadly strife.
That happily was removed and we
breathed again. Then Mexico broke
out afresh and the national guard was
rushed to the border a hundred thous-
and strong, where it is sweltering in
the sun and lodging the bullets of the
snipers across the Rio Grande. For a
time it looked as though war was in
evitable, but Carranza needed money
and became good Indian" in order
to extract more gold from Wall street.
That is the Mexican status today.
Peace again seemed at least in pros
peet until England stepped upon the
American toe, and now we are face to
face with another crisis. And thus we
go from day to day. One day it is
peace and the next it is the imminence
Of war while even few days hence
are shrouded in impenetrable mystery.
These indeed are the days when the
wise man sleeps with both eyes open
lest he lose them before he awakes.

ONE-CENT LETTER POSTAGE

Postmaster General Burleson is in
favor Of a one cent letter postage, but
ne maintained last week before the
National Association of Postmasters
that before this rate can be feasbly
adopted there must be an increase in
second class mail rates. The following
are his words on the subject: Should
second class mail rates be increased,
the cost Of mail transportation low
cred under the new space payment sys-
tenn, and useless extravagances in ru-
raj carriage eliminated, initial steps
can be taken next year toward reduc-
ton Of the letter rate. Should the in
crease in second-class rates apply to
the newspapers, the blessing Of de-
crease in letter rates would be dearly
bought. Christian Advocate.

 At the outset of last nights session Senator Newlands sought and Ob- tained unanimous consent to put a. side the Senate bill and take up the one sent over from the House. there by paving the way for quick final act ion without parliamentary formalities that otherwise would be necessary. Then Senator Underwood brought up the issue over which the Senate is divided by proposing as an amend ment the rate-fxing provision of the discarded Senate bill.
 Senate Debates Amendment
 Over this amendment debate waged for three hours, Senators Newlands and Underwood advocating it and Senator Cummins making long speech criticizing the whole proceed ing. Most of the senators had little to say and in the cloak rooms there were strong intimations that the req son for this was the general convict ion that in the end the House bill would go through without change.
