"My country, It's Of the
Sweet Land OF Liberty,
OF thee ! sing"

One by one the men in the party re-
moved their hats, and both men and wo-
men took up the song. Before the first
stanza was finished, window in front
room OF the second story OF the hotel
was slowly. raised, and a white haired
old lady appeared. The noise OF the
grating window caused one OF the singers
to look up, and the face OF the old lady
fixed itself in his memory. 1t was the
face OF a woman OF seventy or more,
beautiful rather because OF Its refinement
and tenderness OF expression than be-
cause OF regularity OF feature. The wo-
man was in deep mourning, and as she
stood in the window, listening, her eyes
were filled with tears, which rolled slow
lY down her cheeks.
The young people sang the song
through. AT the end, in the quiet that
settled momentariIy on the group, the
door OF The hotel opened and the old lady
stepped out She was evidently laboring
under strong emotion. Her lips quivered
and the tears still gistened in her eyes; (;
but without hesitation she advanced 10
the group Of young Americans and held
out both hands 10 the girl who happened
10 be nearest. She spoke impulsively:
81 thank you! thank you more than
can tell |, too, am an American, but
haven't seen my native land or heard that
song Sung for more than forty years; and
it means more to me than il can possibly
mean TO you.
"Dr. Smith, the author OF that song,
was our minister when was girl at
home. He was family friend, too, and
when was married il was he who per-
formed the ceremony. My husband was
an Englishman. He died here this sum-
mer. OF course have heard the air OF
the song thousands Of times but with
other words if never seemed the same 10
me.
81 am going home Soon-home to
America; and there, please God, shall
hear Americans sing that song as you
have sung it here. When you are as old
as am, you will know what il meaEs."

Up-You- Go-And- The Best Of Luck

The hospital at ks comfortable
place, and the men are in no hurry 10
leave there for the trenches, says Mr..
Patrick MacGilI in The Great Push. But
when Col. Z-pronounces them fit they
must hasten 10 the fighting line again.
And about Col. Z, or "Up-you-go-
and-the- best t-of-luck," as he is known
to the rank and file OF the b. E. F., Mac
Gill tells the following characteristic story:
Five men, including Gilhooley, an Irish
man who fought in an English regiment,
where he became notorious for his mad
escapades, his daredevil pranks and his
wild fearIessness, appeared before the
colonel.
Chow do you feel?" the colonel asked
the first man.
mot we'll at ALL, was the answer. 81
can't eat 'ardly nuffink."
"Thats the sort Of man required up
there" Col. answered. $50 up you
90 and the best OF luck"
"How far can you see ?" the colonel
asked the next man, who had complained
that his eyesight was bad.
"Only about fifty yards" was the an
swer.
"Your regiment is in trenches scarcely
twenty-five yards from the enemy" the
colonel told him. $50 up you 90 and the
best OF luck"
To the third soldier, who had been
wounded, he said, "Off you 60 and find
the man who wounded you" and TO the
fourth man, who confessed that he had
never killed a German, he gave this ad-
vice:
"You had better double up; it's time
you hit one"
II came 10 Gilhooley's turn.
Chow many men have you killed ?"
the colonel asked.
"In and out, about fifty" Gilhooley
answered.
"Make il hundred. then" said the
colonel "and up you go and the best OF
luck"

Advance Information.

DI. J. M. Buckley, the well-known
editor and divine, addressing New
York City Sunday school, related an in
cident that greatly interested the children
He told OF meeting ragged, hungry
looking little girl in the street on wintry
day. and when he questioned her she re-
cited pitiful tale OF sick mother and
younger brothers and sisters without
food. After giving her silver dollar,
the good doctor followed at safe dis
tance 10 see what she would do with the
money.
"Now. children, what do you suppose
was the first thing she bought with thai
dollar ?"said DR.. Buckley. "Halds upp
Up went the hands, and one child after
another ventured guess, but none proved
correct. Finally little boy, whose up
raised hand alone remained, was asked
for his answer to the question.
"A basket" he sang out.
Correct !" said the doctor. "There' S
boy who thinks Now, son, come up
here on the platform and tell us why you
think il was basket"
After considerable coaxing the boy
reached the platform. but seemed unwill-

The boy still hesitated. and DR.. Buck

"l'll give you this" he said, "lf you'll

girl bought basket first"

money, al was over in Hoboken last

The Open Air For Children.

There is a growing body OF testimony
as to the great value OF fresh air in the
treatment OF children. The doctors who
confine their practice exclusively 10
children are almost 10 a man advocates
OF the FRESHMAN life for their little patients.
They order il 10 keep up vigorous health
in we'll children and 10 reinforce their
treatment OF sick ones. They declare
that all children sleep better, eat better,
are better tempered and of fresher color,
il their parents keep them in The open air
both day and night. Outdoor children"
are also much less susceptible TO colds
and other infections than the children
who are kept coddled in warm rooms and
depend upon daily walk for their airing.
There are many days in winter, OF
course, when children cannot be kept out
very long. but there are no days when il
is not possible TO have them in rooms that
are virtually open-ar rooms. That is
equally true OF bedrooms. A child need
not be chilly and wretched merely because
he is in a cool room where the windows
are open. His clothes in the daytime and
his bedclothes at night should be warm
enough 10 make him comfortable. II may
be necessary to have him wear iull suit
OF Angora woolens and al night TO supple
ment his bedding with hot-water bottle.
Some fortunate persons are the pos
SCISSORS Of porch that faces south, and
many more might be il they would only
take pains 10 arrange one. II there IS
properly protected porch on the house,
the child should never be permitted 10
sleep anywhere else. Many obstinate
cases OF maraSmus and malnutrition have
yielded quite quickly TO this treatment
when all other attempts TO cure them
have tailed.
When the porch is lacking, il is often
possible 10 press balcony into service
or 10 arrange sleeping shack on a roof.
But when none OF those were available
the next best thing is room with
southern exposure, in which you keep all
Of the windows open all OF the time so
that the air may be as much as possible
like that Of the outdoors. The acute in
fectious disorders in children respond
we'll 10 this treatment. as do common
colds, for which injection is also respon-
sible. OF course, you should arrange
the night clothing so that il will stay in
place, and take care TO prevent the cold
air from blowing directly on the child's
head

Ii Couldn't Be Done.

Somebody said that il couldn't be done.
But he with chuckle replied;
That maybe il couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he d tried.
So he buckled right in. with trace OF grin
On his face. II he worried. he hid it.
He started 10 sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done and he did il.
Somebody scoifed 'Oh, you'll never do that
At least no one ever has done it,
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it,
With lift OF his chin and bit OF grin,
Without any doubling or quiddit.
He started 10 sing as he tackled the thing
, That couldn't be done-and he did il.
There are thousands who'll tell you il can not be
done,
There are thousands who prophesy failure
There are thousands 10 point out TO you. one by one
The dangers that wait TO assail you.
But Just buckle in with bit OF grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
lust start in TO sing as you tackle the thing
That can not be donc"-and you'll do it.

What The Farmer Did.

A city man rece lily visited with his
cousin. The man from the city, wishing
10 explain the Joys OF metropolitan life,
said, 1--WE have certainly been having
fun for the last few days. Thursday we
autoed to the country club and golied
until dark, then trollied back 10 town and
danced until morning"
The country cousin, not 10 be out
done in the least, began telling some Of
the pleasures OF the "simple liie." 1--WE
have had pretty good times here, too.
One day we buggied out 10 Uncle Ned's
and went out TO The back LOT, where we
baseballed all that afternoon. And in
the evening we sneaked up TO the attic
and pokered until morning"
A sturdy old farmer, who was listening
and was not 10 be stumped in the least
took up the conversation al this point
and said, 81 was having some fun about
this time myself. ! muled TO the corn
field and gee-hawed until suudown.
Then ! suppered until dark, and farm
papered until 8 O'Clock, after which ]
bedsteaded until The clock fived, after
which breakfasted until il was time TO
90 muling again."
