 In other wars. what useless, crass mistakes! Fatalities which were but natural / fruit Of mans instruction. He must give the blows, While women wept, or turned a weakling hand
 To simple toll. as carnage swept her land, Bringing ofttimes, it's doom to blast her heart, Where she was helpless, in her home. apart To-day the call falls not on tlrn1d ears Of frightened wives whose husbands must away; The Union women wait upon the fray And each is through with uselessness and fears Such is the harvest of a few grave s years
 wherein great truths have plainly been revealed. There's no weakness when woman's brain
 Has felt mans law of human sex repealed By that great master of instruction. Pain,
 That leaves it's lessons while it cuts and sears. Let-warfare come. if only so we save Dur country's honor, and among the brave Sharing the work of war, and all it's fateS- will be the women of our loyal states.

DOES LOVE DODGE
 SOME PEOPLE?

Little by little the time goes by Short if you sing through it, long, If
 you sigh.
 Little by little-an hour a day, Gone with the years that have van-
 ished away,
 Little by little the race is run;
 Trouble and waiting and toll are
 done!'
 Why are some people single to the end of their days, when it has been conceded that no heart ever existed without a heart being born to mate it? Cupid has, however, handicapped many women who would wed. Iney cannot go forth and choose the one whom they prefer, but must stand back to be sought out and chosen. Such slight things may turn the tide. It takes a man half a lifetime toAdis- cover that actually he was in love at a certain period of his existence. He allowed the girl and the wedding to slip by, afterwards berating fate be- cause he had lodged love. / | Human beings are not automatons, to be whisked here or there on life s checker-board. Cupid gives them their | opportunity, but does not pretend to shape their every thought and act them. IA man is given brain, with the supposition that he will make use of 1t, wisely, and the heaft-mating instinct that he will follow the yearn- ings called forth which eliminate in marriage.
 ! The man who locks himself up in his place of business, be it gilded office or a workshop, refusing to be brought in contact with the fair sex, especially the marriageable ones, is doing a great injustice to the womanly heart that is waiting for him. Cupid indi- cates to each that they are suited to each other, and rests the case there. If either one dodges the issue, it is that one's fault, not the little love gods.
 | It is quite the same with young woman who shuts herself up in the four walls of home. She is denying herself the possibility of meeting some one whom she would care for. It is clearly the duty of all human beings to mix and ningle with, the people about them. That is a form a recrea- ton which is absolutely necessary to human good.
 The question of marriage does not interest all people. To the single ones
 satisfied with their lot, Cupid bows te their will If they wish to dodge love it is their affair. It is not in his ju- rdsd6ction to argue the matter with them, if he could. Every life should have its chance for the full measure tof happiness intended for it. Life without life may be peaceful and con-
