woman who was brought before the

Mrs. Culp is about 20 years of age and
alone in the world, although she has
daughter somewhere. but where she
does not know. The woman's mind has
Leen somewhat affected, but not seri-

IN MEMORIAM.
Tribute to the Late NJ. J. Claughsey
 For 42 Yeats Head of Fire Dent.

The consciousness that loving friends are grieving in our grief robs sorrow of its sharpest pang was the sentiment that promoted Michael J. Claughsey to take that trip which cul- minated in his tragic death.
 His premature and pitiful death and the cruel circumstances of it come as a sword of grief to the hearts Of his many friends and casts over the entire city gloom which will finger long after his earthly passing.
 It seems almost incredible that such an end should terminate the life of man who Ioomed up a hero be- fore the eyes of the people; that life of hardship and peril, a life of self sacrifice and noble deeds should come to this. ''But there is a Divin- ity that shapes our end"
 Ana though the cruel and terrible accldent may have mangled his body Als soul unscathed and unharmed wa called to it's Creator. in the midst of one of the greatest acts that man can perform, that of paying respect and honor to dead friend
 His last act. like those of the past forty-two years, was one of generos- 1IS' Sle1IlIetuC ot1lu love. Ana HOW tIltL he sleeps with his friend whom he was on the way to sec we honor his memory. His career symbolizes the career of those men who in time of direct feed sprang to the front to risk everything. including life itself, and to spend the days of their strong est manhood in the valorous conflict for the welfare of others
 His memory, which is already hon. ored, I also wish to perpetuate, and desire to withhold it from the abyss of forgetfulness into which we are all liable to fall. It is for this purpose that I trace these few lines.
 And I dare hope that our friend who has scared to his celestial home, will see them with favorable eye, and that they will give him renewed as- surance of our friendship and love.

Britain's New Reservoir of Men
(From the Boston HeraldD

"Why should we refuse to avail our selves of the vast reservoir of man hood in Africa?" asks Sir Alfred Sharpe, former Governor of Nyasa- land, and his question is not addressed to a public opinion that needs to be convinced. The tapping of the Dark Continent for men needed at the front has already begun. The British gov- ernment announces through MT. Bonar Law that 1O,0OO Africans, some of whom have reached France, are to serve with the army service corps behind the lines as non-com batants, the purpose being to use them in tasks not constituting actual warfare, and thus release men needed on the firing line, 1t Is assumed that the military authorities will make adequate ar engagements for the comfort of the men thus drafted, and in these the Antl-SlaVery and Aborigines Protec- tion society have undertaken to CO., operate.
 Will the British war office conf7ne it's drafte to the 10000 and remain content with "non-c com batant' ser vice, or is this only the experimental beginning of a much larger and more serious programme? A few days ago. at a meeting of Liberal and Con- servative members of the British Parliament, it was voted that In view of the urgent demands for men for the army we call upon the govern ment to take mediate steps to recruit for the army the colored subjects of his majesty throughout the empire. and more especially in Africa In addresses made at that meeting the administration was urged to call in the natives for military duty on the ground of their obligations to the empire, the assurance being given that the enlistment of black soldiers would improve the status of the sub- ject races. Sir Albert Spicer expressed his belief that the self-respect of tho black men would be raised eff colored soldiers fought side by side with British troops" And all the speeches made implied resort to the natives as fighters, not as mere hewers of wood and drawers of water.

GIVE FEM A CHANGE,

Chicago business men have set an example for all America to follow by giving employment to men over forty years of age who seek positions. When the new rush toward the goal of efficiency took place youth was given the preference over age Men of forty, forty-five and fifty were lost in the shuffle. So many were thrown out of jobs at one time or another that these "old codgers' became a drug on the market The mere fact that they were forced to seek posi- tions of employment was proof enough in the eyes of many employers that they were inefficient, were not canal hJa of standing the grind. Now the bnsi
 ness men of Chicago hope to destroy all such beliefs. To this end thev met recently and decided to give the men

reached and passed the three billion bushel mark-3, 124, 100000 bushels was the crop On the other hand, 1913 was the poorest corn year the, American farmer had encountered in 8, decade, producing only 2,446, 000,00O bushels. And yet the department of agriculture figures, reduced to com- parative totals, show that the farm 1 value of the lean. crop of 1913 was $172,000,000 greater than that of the
 big bumper crop of 1912.
 "The same condition obtains in the case of wheat. The year 1906 was a
 bumper wheat year. For the first time in our history the seven hundred
 million bushel mark was passed showz ing a crop. of 735. 900, 900 bushels. On the other hand, 1907 was real, gen. uine lean wheat year, with a produce ton of only 34,000,000 bushels. And yet, although the 1907 crop was s hundred million bushels smaller than the bumper crop of 1906 it's value to the farmer was S64.000, 900 greater.
 "The same thing happened with the bumper crop of oats in 1906 as com pared with the poor one of 1907, as we'll as in the case of the bumper crop of 1910 as compared with the lean one in 1911. It also happened in the case Of the bumper barley crop of 1906 and of 1912.
 "All the world understands, of course, the law of supply and demand and knows that big crops means low. CT per bushei prices. But to take both world wide, all-c crop statistics, and national single-crop statistics and to find that without exception the bump CT crops bring less money in the az gregate to the farmer than the very Jean one, is to disclose a condition in the economics of food production that is at once surprising and important.1 -

The American Voice.
(Youth's Companion)

We must admity although with shame, that foreign observers in the United States and foreigners who ob- serve our tourists in EurOpe; are right in declaring the. American voice to be the worst in the world. Hear ing it all the time, we Americans do not notice how bad it is. The chief offenders are not the newsboys and other street criers who shout in our ears, but the common run of people men and women, boys and girls of education and social advantages, as we'll as those who lack both
 We offend, not in our loud talking only, but in ordinary conversation. Our voices harsh, our tones nasal. It is enough to state the fact. Any one can verify it whose ears can distin- guish between sounds that are pleas ant and musical and those that are harsh and discordant.
 It is easy to understand why an English girls voice is so melodious and rich, whereas that of an Amer ican girl is usually not so. Each ac- quires in childhood the quality of voice that she hears every day. Our voices are what. they are because they are like those of our fathers, our mothers and our neighbors.
 The fact points the way to the rem- edy. If we wish to improve the voices of Americans of the next generation we must first train the teachers, for some of the most offensively sharp and pentrating voices are those of "schoo1- 'ams." The work should be undertaken at once. It would be good rule if it were practica ble for school boards to refuse positions to all candidates whose voices are disagree ably harsh and nasa al. Probably it is not practicable for the double reason that the ears of the members of the school boards are not sensitive enough 60 apply the test, and that the num- Der of teachers required is greater than the number of candidates who can meet the requirem ents.
