Remorse.

For all the wisdom that is spilled,
for all the punishment that's earned, 1t
seems that life is always filled with
lessons that are never learned; a NOR
tai creature it appears will seldom
fail to grab the chance to fill his little
lot with tears and wall in woeful cir
cumStance. He knows the paths that
he should shun, he knows the better
ways, of course, he knows the folly of
the fun that brings him weeping and
remorse, he knows that 1T is all a
snare, yet falls he for temptations
vile to later moan and tear his hair
and beat his bosom for a while. This
train of moral platitude Though
wise. it's nothing new in truth) the
writer pens in pensive mood for woes
have prompted it forsooth; md many
times he'd thought were learned the
lessons that had cost him pain, but
ah, the evil hour returned and he had
slipped from grace again. o fates,
endow him with the strength TO see
the folly of his way. TO find the better
course at length and nevermore to
fall or stray; pray lead him not
through ways beset with thorns and
rocks and holes and mire-he simply
can't afford to get another sixty-dollal
tire.-Illinois State Register.

wished her identity to remain un-
known.
The masked dancer was the sensa-
ton of the evening. The exquisite
grace, lightness and beauty of figure,
and in change to Spanish fandango,
the saucy turns Of head and neck were
Fascinating. Then last of all came a
rather daring figure that brought out
vociferous recalls.
Austin Herrick, carried off his feet
by the coquettish dancer, rushed
around back of the scenes to be intro
duced. But the stage manager was OBJ
durate. She would not meet anyone.
Young Herrick was not to be baked.
He sacrificed the remainder of the en-
tertainment, and determined 10 watch
at the stage door for her exit. A taxi
drew up at the entrance, and a dainty
figure came out hastily. She was en-
veloped in a wrap, and her face was
covered with veil, but he could not be
mistaken in the little gold slippers. He
jumped into his own car and followed.
What was his amaZement when the
taxi stopped at Mrs. Walkers door.
She stopped to pay the driver, and In
an instant he was at her side. He
meant to stake everything on one
throw.
sMiss Holiness" he cried. "Wait!"
Surprised, and not knowing what
had happened, she answered: "What
is it,"
"Oh, it is your he exclaimed.
"Why have you followed me-" she
asked.
Because / was determined to know
you!"
"Well," she answered with prOvOk-
ing GOODNESS, II don't think you ever
within spite Of your persistence. You
thought because I was a dancer you
need not treat me with ordinary re-
spect."
"Nol MOI" he protested. II didn't
mean that. I tried to be introduced
in the most conventional way. But the
stage manager refused"
"He was right. After your exciting
chase it's rather sad that you should
be so disappointed"
"How do you know I am disap-
pointed?
ooh, yes you are" she laughed. ITS
the best joke I've heard in year"
And she laughed again.
"Of course I know now you're Miss
Holmes, and I seem to have made a
fool of myself. But don't care. I'm

She took off the mask, and looked
searchingly at him. The wig she wore
still somewhat disguised her, but there
was no mistaking her eyes.

that is, that you will never reveal to

full of feeling. Then he added: but

The appeal seemed so genuine she
could not easily refuse.
Some months afterward Mrs. Her
rick said to her SON: "Tm glad you
came back to your senses, and can do

Austin lied gracefully, and agreed
with her.

Suits and coats and hats lead off
the fall fashion parade but in the re-

come the dependable separate skirts.
They are beautifully fitted and tai
lored and made of all the staple or

abiding attraction In these everyday
clothes of the average woman--no one
gets tired Of them.
Quiet colors in plaids, crossbar mix

skirts that it has carried over and

Besides the state boards there are
local organizations which are called

In order to have clear cOmprehen-
sion Of the Red Cross and its work, it
is necessary to know about its con-
struction and its methods. The pres
ident of the United States is not mere
ly an honorary officer but an active
president of the society. He preSides
at the annual meetings, appoints mem
bers of various boards and issues i'm
portant public appeals in time Of war
or disaster. It is important to under
stand that it is the arm or instrument
Of the government for giving aid to
humanity. It's work goes on at all
times in the department Of civilian re-
lief. Under it's charter all accounts of
the American Red Cross are audited
by the war department and an annual
report submitted to congress by the
secretary of war. To President Taft
belongs much credit for the time and
attention he gave to the affairs Of the
society, in order to build 1t up to its
present efficiency and establish it in
the public confidence.
The central committee is the gov
erning body, under it coming three I'M
portant boards whose chairmen and
vice chairmen are members Of the COM
mittee. These boards are the war, ma
tional and international relief boards.
They establish the policies in their re-
spective fields of activity and recon-
mendations for appropriations are
made by them to the central or exec
utive committee which has the sole
right q appropriating funds.
The chairman and vice chairman Of
the war relief board are the surgeon
generals Of the army and navy. Those
Of the international relief board are
representatives Of the state depart
ment and the navy and those Of the
national relief board are members Of
the central committee particularly ia
miliar with this part Of Red Cross
work.
"Under these boards are various
subcommittee, the medical bureau,
the first aid department, the nursing
service, town and country nursing and

For mending buttonholes in the neck

endeavoring to take strongly held

troops advanced to the attack about
four in the morning, before the sun
had made any activity almost intoler-

By FIVE o'clock the blue-coated poilus
had swarmed over the Bulgarian en-
trenchments, bayoneting or bombing
any of the enemy who remained to
offer resistance. The enemy counter
attack was slow in organizing, and
the poilus began the tiresome work
of consolidating the position. Almost
at high noon the violence in the en-

counter-attack. Fifteen minutes la

their second line Of defense and hurled
themselves on the small band OF
French.
The latter held firm and not only
succeeded in driving off the counter
attack, but chased the enemy back to
