Pulling back my thoughts as we'll,
From that distant red-rimmed hell,
And hot tears the stitches blur

Comforter they call it-yes.
Such 1t is for nv distress,
For it gives my restless nands
Blessed work-God understands
How we women yearn to be

Anything but just to wait
Idly by the clicking gate.

Of the Panama Pacific exposition. Own

Mexico see in the New Orleans show
an opportunity to acquire the superior

hundred export houses In New Or.

assisted the fair management in the
distribution OF over 100000 pieces Of

Of periodicals circulating in the

extended to the presidents Of the vari.

pany, Vaccaro Brothers, and other
steamship lines are making special
passenger rates for the term Of the
fair from all their ports, and also will
make low rates on shipments Of live

most eager purchasers at the auction
sales which will be held Thursday

Teach Practical Patriotism

In seeking for an explanation
for the apathy and lack of pat.
riotism manifested in many parts
of the country, one is confronted
in almost every instance with the
one underlying infuence-igno.
rance. Ignorance of American
ideals, traditions and principles.
Ignorance of the plain duty Iof
every citizen of a beneficient
government to preserve and de-
fend the institutions of that
government.
In the schools of this country
from this time Oh, a department
OF practical patriotism should
have foremost place. Love OF
country is not all hereditary. A
practical knowledge of all that
our country and our government
stands for in the lives of its citi
zens is essential to the develop
ment of the highest type of pa.
triotic citizenship.
1t is not enough that a peopl:
should have q sentimental love
for the soil that bred them.
Thousands OF aliens within oul
borders, now loyal citizens OF
our country, have this love. |,
il noticeable, however, that this
dies not detract from their full
allegiance to the government,
that has received and nurtured
them,
There must be more than this tc

There must be frst knowledge
q full realization Of the superiori
ty of our institutions: u full ap.
preciation OF the great benefit,

ceived and are continually re.
oieving from them. Add to this
