- Nancy's Grievance
 & By Ruth Evelyn Brooks

(Copyrisht, 1917. Western Newspaper Union
 "No," spoke Joel Blake determined ly, 'T won't go after ma. She's in one of her tantrums and I've stood all Pm going to of them. This is her home. Let her come back to it when she gets ready. I shant hurry her."
 "But, father" pleaded his married daughter, Kate.
 "Now, MT. Blake" began her hus- band, Richard Moore.
 Don't either of you say another word !" stormed Blake. 'I've made up my mind and I won't be thwarted. Mother is comfortable down at Lindy'S. Maybe the change will do her good and make her sensible. As to myself, I know how to bach it comfortably. If your mother wasn't so unreasonable !'' and, despite his avowed indifference and fortitude. Mr. Blake sighed drear- fly and started away from the home of his son-in-law.
 He and his wife, after forty years of married life, had separated just the week before. She was staying with one married daughter, Linda. He was getting his meals and sleeping nights at Kate's home. Daytimes he pottered around the deserted home.
 Looking back, he could scarcely ana lyze how it had all come about. For the first time in his life Joel had vis- ited some relatives in the city for a week. It was his first vacation and his wife had encouraged him to enjoy it. He had promised her a gold watch and chain, and had come back without it for reasons. In fact, old Joel harbored a secret which he did not care to inn part to anybody.
 "The present. I promised you will come in time, Nancy" he told his wife. 'Next time Jones makes a payment on the mortgage you shall have the watch and chain, and all the better for waiting. You know, while Pm no pau per, I never spend money till I've got 1t, and truth is what I took with me to the city went faster than calcu- lated"
 And Nancy, good soul that she was, did not complain and was patient and indu1gent until one day in cleaning out the grip that had carried her hus- bands belongings during his city trip, she happened to notice a fragment of a newspaper in which he had quite in-

Brother Jonathan.

Brother Jonathan is a general name applied to the people of the United States. Its origin is said to be as fol- lows: Soon after having taken com mand of the Continental army, Gen. eral Washington found that it was in need of many things. At that time the governor of Connecticut was Jona- than Trumbull, the elder, a friend of Washington in whose judgment Wash ington had great confidence. During the consultation on the state of the army, Washington suggested that they consult Brother Jonathan," meaning his friend, Trumbull. This advice was followed and Trumbull devised the means of procuring what was required. The story was told in the army, and the reply to a demand for an article was invariably to ask Brother Jona- than" The phrase became proverbial. AS the personification of the citizen of the United States Brother Jonathan" corresponds to the British "John Bull" Nowadays, however, Uncle Sam" has largely superseded Brother Jonathan" in popular use.

EXPECT BOOM IN ATHLETICS
1t Is Believed That Indoor Sport Will Be Lively This Season-Panie
 Stage Passed.

Indoor athletics will enjoy a much more prosperous season during the coming months than last winter. The breaking of relations with Germany was the signal for the closing of a majority of the armories in the middle of the seasons doings, and this spoiled many athletic meetings. Now that the panic stage has passed and the mili- tary authorities are encouraging the continuation of all athletic sports, there is every reason to believe that conditions something like normal will hold sway when the board of floor game gets under way.
 There have been not a few criti- cisms hurled in the direction of the track men because they have not done as much for war charities as have the men who follow tennis, golf and other games. It cannot be said that the ath- letes have followed the exhortation of the Red Cross people to "give until it hurts," but, on the other hand, the cinderpath set have done something. Many of the smaller clubs and leagues have turned over the proceeds of games for charitable purposes, and the big athletic clubs have spent hundreds of dollars promoting athletic events for soldiers.

cidentally wrapped some soiled collars. It was then that Mrs. Blake had her secret.
 She was pale, anxious looking and thoughtfuNy serious the day after that. The next she was harsh, bitter and v1ndictive. She hinted aloud at "the extravaganza of a selfish hus- band, while the poor slaving wife scrimped and saved at homeI' The third day she "picked'' on the harassed Joel till he lost his temper and said some biting things. There was gen. eral row and Nancy left home, vowing she would never return.
 Joel went over to the old home and picked up things generally. He kept Tige, the watch dog they had raised from a puppy, locked up in the house to guard against burglarious visits while he was absent. The intelligent animal missed his mistress and how1ed dolorously whenever Joel went away, as if pleading for freedom to find the other half of the household.
 Reckon a little run around won't hurt you," observed Joel upon this particular morning. "Hi, now! take breath of fresh air."
 Tige fairly tore out of the house. He sniffed the air, he investigated the barn, the garden, seemed looking for somebody. Finally he raised his head in the direction of the house two miles away where Mrs. Blake was staying with her daughter. He uttered a dis nal howl, looked back at Joel, ran out of the gate, sat down on his launches In the middle of the road and gazing straight at Joel, howled again.
 "Herei here! come back T" shouted Joel, but Tfge never stirred. As his master approached him to get him back into the house, Tige started up about 50 yards and sat down again.
 He repeated this maneuver a second

CALIFORNIA U. SETS RECORD
Scored Twenty-Six Touehdowns and Kicked Twenty Three Goals
 Against Oklahoma Team.

Football is a game in which victory is generally attained after at least some semblance of a struggle. Which fact reveals nothing startling, but an astounding instance of animated ac- tion on the gridiron that has come to notice has all records for rapid-fire playing backed off the boards. A re- port emanating from Norman, Okla, states that in one hours playing time the University of California scored 26 touchdowns and kicked 23 goals for a 179 to victory over the Kingfsher college of Kingfisher, Okla.

HEAD OF. ARMY TRANSPORTATION

The subject of army transporta- tion is so vast that in this article only transportation by rail can be consid cred. This is the backbone of our modern transportation system, yet it dates no further back in army history than the time of the Crimean war.
 The army officer now in charge of transportation, Brig. Gen. Chauncey B. Baker, became deeply impressed with the importance of this branch of the service during the Spanish-Amer- ican war, when he was chief quarter master of the Second division of the Seventh Army corps and acting chief quartermaster of the Seventh Army corps. He has served three times in placing the army in foreign territory twice in Cuba and once in Vera Cruz and last summer served as senior member in charge of the American military mission to France and Eng land.
 He has struggled against inertia, and sometimes opposition, during aln branch of the service to a point where time of war.

GREAT SOUTH AFRICAN STATESMAN

Have you ever been in South Af- rfca? Have you ever lain at anchor In Table bay and looked at the red roofs of Cape Town standing by the fortress walls of Table mount? Have you ever felt the soft, warm earth of the veldt under your feet? Have you ever watched the OK wagons winding down pass, or heard the moan of the ostrich in the darkness, or listened to the sudden rush of the torrent over the dry river bed, or smiled at the simple jokes of the country folk? If you have, you know "Jannie" Shuts, as he is affectionately called in South Africa; "Jannie" who was born within 50 miles of Cape Town. You know all about him without being told, for he is part of the whole scheme of nature and things there.
 There is theory that man finds his best impetus in the country in which he is born. South Africa can certainly boast of one such great man In General Shuts, minister of defense of the privy council, minister of aerial one of the prominent nen of the war

Then came a double to right, a single past third and a line smash to center, all off Danforth.

ITALIAN PREMIER HAS HARD TASK

Orlando, the new Italian premier. is by no means the strongest man in the country. His cabinet record as minister of the interior was not reas- surfing from the point of view of those who want to subordinate everything to the winning of the war. He did not handle the food supply situation with very great success, and he lacked force in dealing with pacifists, socialists. and the German propagandists.
 But at the present moment there is all the reinsurance that is needed in the fact that Sonnino is to stay in the cabinet as minister of foreign af- fairs. Sonnino is the strongest man in Italy and the most inflexible. He is for everything that will make far success for the armies and bitterly opposed to anything that looks to a discontinuance of the fighting until Germany and Austria are defeated He would not stay in the new Or 1ando cabinet unless he was sure of
