child of the czar. Every Russian
fighting woman is a child OF her
regiment And she is protected as
such.
1t is against military regulations
for women to be found in Russian
regiments. Consequently, Ii has
been seldom that stories OF female
fighters filtered back to Petrograd
from the fighting fronts. But the
heroics of Russian Amazons are
brought to light just the same.
A Russian soldier has just been
decorated with the cross OF St
George for gallantry "He' was
Vera. When the Russians took
Novasiolky, south of the river Styr,
and captured 1900 prisoners, no
soldier welded bayonet more
handily than Vera. Every man or
Vera's regiment deserved a medal,
declared the reports, but Vera, who
outwardly looks exactly like any
Russian private, got the Cross, be-
cause she was woman. Vera S
comrades agreed that if there was to
be a medal, it should go to Vera.
And Vera got it.
From Calicia comes another story
of one of these Russian Amazons.
Tanja Kakourine cut his hair
short and joined Russian regiment
because her mother did the same in
the Russo-Turkish war of 1877.
Tanja is 16. She is as brave as the
best of Russian troopers. She has
| fought In many actions. She has
been recommended for the Cross.
! Tanja is pretty; her round, healthy
;, face surrounding trim military
cloak that's sets off her loneliness.

mon accord and act toward her as

WORDS OF APPRECIATION.

Mccormick Theological Seminary,

iHCCOfmtcE Theological seminary
Chicago, Ill. March 2, 1915.
During the last three years ! have
been associated in school with the
graduates Of SIS different colleges and
universities OF our own and foreign
lands. students from 35 different
states and countries. These students
represent for the most part the aver
age aud in many cases the best grad
yates Of these schools. And II has
been my observation that the gradu-
ates Of Trinity University win con-
pare most favorably in every respect
with graduates OF the other institu-
lions.
III results are 10 be taken a proof
Trinity has secured the two desired
aims of training the intellect; name
liy, 90 teach the mind how 10 think
and study, and to inform or to give
general culture For the general cul-
lturc, methods OF study and mental
grasp OF the Trinity men is on par
with the same traits in the grad
yates of the best institutions OF the
land.
Judging again by results the re-
Iligious training and ideals secured al
Trinity are ON an equality with those
| OF most other colleges and uniyer-
lsities. The special attempt each year
10 lead each student to Christ, the
vocational and inspirational adj
dresses, the work of the christian
associations, and the devout religious
moral instruction coming from the
members of the faculty whose de
sire Is never to destroy but to build
up noble CONVICTIONS these com
bine TO hold before the Trinity stu
dents the highest ideals.
A balanced character, 1t has been
said, is the true end of education
And the perfect balance kept between
the intellectual needs. social desires
and religious emotions in the life OF
Trinity is calculated to reach that
lend. The well-rounded characters
among the graduates OF Trinity. who
will measure up to the level OF the
graduates OF the other colleges ans
universities OF the country, are sui
lflcient proof that Trinity is serious
lily endeavoring and largely succeed

shall never regret that Trinity

NAN IN BURGLAR CASE
FOLLOWED A. T.. M'CRoSKEY ALL
THE WAY To MALVERN.
ARKANSAS.
Two ~ Men Arrested In Connection
With Ray burglary Case Are
Wanted nj Holdenville. Okla.
For Horse THEFT.

Sheriff Dearborn deserves much
credit for work done on the Ray
depot burglary case. lie has this
week succeeded In running down the
third man charged with implication
in the crime. A. l.. McCroskey was
arrested at a logging camp In Ar
kansas by Sheriff Dearborn after
long chase and he Is now locked up
in the Ellis county jail. The first
man arrested I'm connection with this
burglary was ]. w. Johnson. who
was picked up by the sheriff at
Corsicana the day after the burglary.
The second arrest was Roe CAN'T,
who lived near Ray. McCroskey Is
brother-in-law of CAN'T. with
Johnson he is wanted at Holdenyille,
Oklahoma, on horse theft charges.
The two were in Jail there and saw
ed out and made good their escape.
Sheriff Dearborn has not only
made the three arrests In this case
but has recovered some of the stolen
property. He had a rather exciting
chase after McCroskey in Arkansas
and made two trips to that state to
get him. He was finally located at
logging camp some twenty-five
miles out from Malvern, where he
was known as A. l.. Afford. He was
also known in some places as Ed.
Campbell or Ed Smith.
The sheriff at Holdenville, Okla
homa, has asked that the men be
held for him when the local authorl-
ties have finished with them.
The depot at Reagor Springs, or
Ray, was burglarized on the night OF
April 3rd, and quite a lot of goods
stolen. The officers were notified
Immediately and set to work on the
case. The men were traced 10 Corsi-
cans where one arrest was effected.
Four days later the second man was
arrested near Reagor Springs. Since
that time the sheriff has been hot
on the trail of the third man, or
ring leader of the gang and he be-
lieves he now has him safely behind
! the bars.

DoNT's THAT PARENTS
SHOULD ALWAYS HEED

Here ere some very important
don'ts for parents: Don't forget that
children. like plants. suffer seriously
from want of sunlight. Don't forget
that children are more seriously af-
fected by impure air than grown peo-
pie. Don't forget that little children
are easily depressed by gloomy sur
roundings, and this lowers their vi
tality.. Don't forget that lowered vi
tality makes children more liable to
catch any infectious disease. Don't
think that any room in the house will
do for the nursery. The sunniest,
most airy and most cheerful room
should be given to the children If you
want them to be healthy. Don't shake
or scold a child who wakes up and
cries out in the night. Often night
terrors are a purely nervous affection
and any harshness only makes mat
ters worse. Don't say don't" to your
little ones. Remember to tell the child
what he is to do not what he is not
to do It often happens that little.
children, especially those nervous or
ighly strung. are disposed to keep on
crying when they get started. When
you wish child to stop sobbing get
him to take good drink Of cold wa
ter. Il almost always will stop the
sobbing immediately.

PROBABLE ORIGIN or

The custom or giving showers
probably has developed from the old
time one of giving bees" and sew.

of brides-to-be.
Speaking of the latter, one was
given recently that was a complete
success. The hostess family had
owned, in their time, great deal Of
land, which has descended, together
with many interesting old relics. to
the present family. Among the relics
was a pair of old quilting frames.
which gave the hostess her idea. She
asked her family. to arrange quilting

her. She was engaged to be married
Among the guests invited were two
chums, both also engaged to be mar
ried.
When all had arrived the hostess,
who up to that time had been shop
ping, came home and pretended to be
overwhelmed with surprise at sight of
the merry crowd. Then every one set
to work around the two old frames.
Two pieces of pretty cretonne, one Of
blue design, the other of yellow, with
Innings of colored sateen to match.

upon the frames.
