Winthrope shrugged his shout

aret case. 1t was more than half
full, and he was highly gratified
to find that neither the cigarets
nor the vesta matches in the cover
had been reached by the wet.
by Jove, here's luck!" he ex-
claimed, and he bowed to Miss
Leslie. Pardon me. but if you
have no objections"
The girl nodded as matter of
form, and Winthrope fastened to
light the cigaret already in his
fingers. The smoke by no means
tended to lessen the dryness of
his mouth, yet it put him in a re-
Elective mood, and in thinking
over what he had read of ship
wrecked parties, he remembered
that pebble held in the mouth
is supposed to ease ones thirst.
To be sure, there was not sign
of a pebble within miles of where
they sat; but after some reflec-
ton, it occurred to him that one
of his steel keys might do as we'll.
At first Miss Leslie was reluctant
to try the experiment, and only
the increasing dryness of her
mouth forced her to seek the
promised relief. Though 1t failed
to quench her thirst, she was
agreeably surprised to find that
the little flat bar of metal eased
her craving to marked degree.
WINTHROP now thought to rig
a shade as Miss Leslie had done,
out of reeds and his handkerchief,
for the sun was scorching his un-
protected head. Thus sheltered,
the two crouched as comfortably
as they could upon the half-dried
crest of the hummock, and waited
impatiently for the return OF

At last Blake was out or the

beach to the spot where he had

forward at a brisk pace.

waved his fifth cigaret at him

YOU CAN HAVE PINK CHEEKS

What causes the color to fade from
pink cheeks and red lips? In a word
it is thin blood.
When the fading color in cheeks and
lips is accompanied by a loss of bright
ness in the eyes and an increasing
heaviness in the step, the cause is to be
sought in the state of the blood.
A hundred causes may contribute to
the condition of thin blood that is
known as anemia. Overwork, lack of
outdoor exercise, insufficient rest and
sleep, improper diet, these are a few
of them. The important thing is to re-
store the blood to normal, to build it
np SO that the color will return to
cheeks and lips.

THE CHEERFUL FACE

DO not be grumpy in your own home.
Some folks save all their smiles for
company or special occasions. 1t is
far more necessary to happiness to
be cheerful in your own home and
with your own family. If the home is
happy one can bear rudeness met
elsewhere. If the home is happy, the
happiness will radiate among neigh
bors and friends. One gives the SEN
ing as if you had just heard a pleas
ant piece of news" Bring that cheer
fulness to the breakfast table. 1t will
improve your appetite and aid diges-
ton. 1t gives a good beginning to the
day, makes work easier and helps
endure the days vexations. If you
nave worries, keep them to yourself
unless you must tell them When you
must reveal your worries, choose the
right one to share your burden. There
is no need to tell troubles to the en-

help. Why cloud the joy of others
and be wet blanket to enthusiasm?
Most things that are worried over,
are things that never happened. Take
notice of worries, and you will find
this true. If you have problems, they
are better solved by facing them with
calmness and cheerfulness than in a
gloomy spirit. 1t is said there is no

BADGER HONOR ROLL
IN MEXICAN WAR

On the roll of men who gave their
lives for their country in the Mexi-
can war of 1847-48 are the names
Of a considerable part of youthful
Wisconsin's quota of soldiers. Nearly
q third of the infantry company that
she sent to join the army of General
Scott was buried beneath Mexico's
tropical sun. Notable among them
was Captain Gustavus Quarles, bril-
liant young lawyer of Kenosha, who
fell while leading his men in a desper-
ate assault on the fortress of Churu-
busco. On the morning of the attack,
upon his own request, Captain Quarles
had been assigned a post upon the
right of his regiment, where the heav-
lest resistance from the intrenched
MeXicans was expected. In the charge
he had proceeded part way up the
slope, and was in the act of waving
his sword to inspirit his company,
when a bullet struck him down. His
men continued the charge and glOri-
ously routed the foe, while Quarles
was borne dying to an adjacent hac-
ienda. Here after assuring his gener-
al that he was proud to give his life
for his country, he expired. His body
was brought to Kenosha, where it was
inferred amid imposing ceremony.

AFTER THE WAR

The war may produce strange re-
suits on the study Of languages in Eu-
rope England enthuses over Russian
and Spanish as the languages for it's
merchants to master. A Prussian
professor proposes that French and
English be expelled from German
courses Of study and that the study
of oriental languages, Turkish, for
example, be made obligatory instead.
But one German journal has the wit
to see and say that the consequence
of ceasing to study English would be
diminished German trade oversee.
All speculation regarding postwar
effects are idle, just as were pre-war
guesses. Who, for example, foresaw
the stupendous increase in the price

marine merchantmen, zeppelin raids
on England, the wholesale blowing
Up of American munition plants, the

things that have become actualities?

war will go on about as before; bit

RUSSIA AFTER THE BOSPORUS

After a propitious beginning and a
setback due perhaps in part to the
drain on Russia's resources for the
great offensive against Austria, the
campaign of Grand Duke Nicholas in
the Caucasus seems once more to be
gathering momentum. Progress along
the Black Sea, where the important
city of Trebizond was reached long
ago, has been held up by the failure
of the center and left to advance over
the difficult country farther south. But
during the past few days important
and uninterrupted gains have been
reported from this march over the
hinterland, and unless it is checked,
the way will soon be open for another
advance along the coast toward the
Bosporus. Constantinople is still $50
miles away, yet with the Russians on
the offensive in Austria and knocking
at Turkeys back door in Asia, the
rumored pledge of the allies to give
Russia both shores Of the Bosporus
may soon become a matter of serious
eonsequence.-Springfeld Republican.

EDITORS WAIT Paper
PROBE RESULT

The Chicago American publishes the
following editorial:
1.-THE Republican leader, Mann, de-
mands very properly that the govern
ment OF the United States investigate
the extraordinary rise in the price of
white paper.
"The country's white paper supply is
purchased, in the end, not by newspa-
pers, but by merchants who advertise
and by the public buying the newspa-
pers. If the price of white paper is
arbitrarily increased, necessarily the
price of advertising first and eventu-
ally the price of newspapers will be
increased
''Inasmuch as practically every
human being in the United States able
to read buys at least one newspaper a
day. conspiracy to increase the price
of white paper-if such a conspiracy
exists-is a matter that interests all
the people and should therefore, in.
terest the administration.
"This newspaper is on record as de-
manding fair treatment Of the paper
manufacturers.
Several years ago we opposed the
demand that white paper be singled
out as product to be deprived Of all
tariff protection. To take the duty off
white paper would, of course, have re-
duced the cost of white paper-and
reduced, consequently, the price paid
by this and other newspapers.
but we took the stand that news.
paper manufacturers were not entitled
to any special privileges; that paper
manufacturers should not be singled
out and be made the individual VIC
Tins Of free trade, and we sided with
the paper manufacturers in their state
ment that the proposed discrimination
was unjust.
Taking advantage of the war, the
makers of paper, with a unanimity
that seems at least INTERESTING
have steadily increased their prices.
Some 10000 editors throughout the
country-a majority of them poorly
paid-would like an explanation of
this increase in white paper cost.
"And presently the business men
who advertise will want to know the
cause of the increases-for necessar-
lily they will pay their part of the cost.
1t is to be hoped that the admins
tration will interest itself in this sug-
gestion which comes through Mr..
Mann from the Republican side"
