1T meant.
1t proved to be a lantern car
ried by Mrs. Bickerdyke, who was
examining the bodies to make
sure that no living man was left
to>suffer alone in such weird sur
roundings. She did not seem 20
realize that she was doing any,
thing remarkable, but continued
her search after the messenger
had gone"
In order to provide nourishiag
food for her sick boys, Mrs.
Bickerdyke at a later date organ
lied her famous Cow and Hen
Missions She succeeded in col
lecting 100 cows and 1000 hens
near the Corinth hospital. One of
the humorous incidents of her ca

cents. The procession consisted
of all Of her cows, smoothly cur
ried, with horns polished and
hoofs blackened!
When the federal troops re-
turned north at the end of the
war, Mother Bickerdyke had
place of honor in the grand re-
view. Few women have shared
such a triumph. Upon this ex-
traordinary occasion she wore, as
always, a plain calico gown and
Shaker sunbonnet. Once when she
visited Chicago to collect fundS,
the women of that city replen-
ished her wardrobe with garments
of fine quality, but she traded
them off to southern women for
eggs, butter and other delicacies
required in the hospital. The dress
and bonnet which she wore at the
final review sold for $100-which
sum she Immediately converted to
the use of needy soldiers.
The measure of her service to
her country cannot be made in
words. Perhaps the most impress
sive of all the tales concerning
this woman will reveal the spirit
in which she worked.
After the battle of Shiloh she
was discovered by an army sur
geon dispensing soup and whisky
to the wounded. She was a shah

a Confederate soldier, and for
once she was without her sum

Mother Bickerdyke's busy hands
never stopped for a moment, but
he answered quietly, "I have re-
ceived my authority from the

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 3
When Germany unleashed heI
submarines on the worlds ships
she created a JOB for the Ameri-
can consul at Cork.
The ship lanes of all the wide
Atlantic converge off the south
coast of Ireland, and there the
submarines fastened to get their
prey.
When Uncle Sam sent Wesley
Frost to Cork he sent the Man fol-
the Job.
Frost probably has had a closer
| view of the horrors of submarine
war than any man, certainly any
American.
After each of more than %
disasters his task has been to
get the facts, guard his cOun-
try's interests, then care for
the human wreckage cast up
from the sea. He has had to
listen to the stories of horror
from the survivors. see that
they were cared for, send the
messages to the heart-brOken
ones at home and arrange for
tho burial of the mangled
dead.
All this Is why he Is ranked by
the state department today as one
of the diplomatic aces" along
with Brand Whitlock and James
Gerard.

A well bred man keeps his
distance when escorting a girl.
To made a girl conspicuous by
over-attention, to lean toward her
and gaze at her constantly, to
carry on an intimate conversation
