many In requesting congress to use

not PLAYING with words. No one knew

nice went the way of waste, not 50

the yeriest speculation to declare that
the world would have progressed less

more under an imperial Carthage than

standard Of humanity. The nation
which participates in a world war and
wins dcerees the actual mental pro

subject of the conqueror. The stern
alternative admits of no exceptions.

buy authority. Defeat is the one debt
subiection can never pay. We are now

The One Woman.

We've toasted all manners of women, We've pledged them, the old and the
 young,
 Since days of the gallant knight errants All womanhood's praises we've sung; We've pledged them for love and for duty. For trust and a faith near divine We've held high our glasses and pledged
 them
 In our first and last bumpers of wine But somehow, in zeal for their beauty, Fond eyes and their lily white hands. We've overlooked one in our pledging- The Woman Who Understands. Our poor limitations and uses,
 She knows them far better than We She bravely accepts our excuses, And motives refuses to see She overlooks all of our errors,
 The things we don't do that we should, And knows. like ourselves, we'd be better And worthier men if we could: In the end, when our errors confront us She soothes us with comforting hands, And erases the penance-God bless her!- The Woman Who Understands.

VARIETY IN HIS WRITINGS
Author of Many Popular Dime Novels Later Repented and Produced
 Several Serious Works.

Perhaps there was something in the atmosphere of Maine that set the lit- erary tide toward blood-and-thunder. At any rate, one of the most popular authors of dime novels was J. H. Ingra- ham. who was born In Portland and died in 1866 in the South. His was varied career. He abandoned mercan- tile pursuits and became a teacher in Washington college, near Natchez, Miss, and in 1886 produced volume of his impressions of the Southwest.
 Then he turned his attention to dime novel writing and brought out "The Dancing Star, or the Smuggler of the Chesapeake" published in Boston. This was followed by three dime novels published in New York in lSo2-3' "Captain Kyd, or the Wizard of the Sea-" Josephine, or the Maid of the Gulf" and Dancing Feather, or the Pirate Schooner" three frankly pi- ratical, though net pirated stories Lady Imogene, Tale of Long ls- land Sound" is not pirate story, but is the equal of the others iI literary 
 merit.
 In later life he repented, and while his dime novels are not to be founo on the shelves of public libraries, pos sibly among the Undiscovered volumes in the regions where the uncalled-for books are placed may be found his seri' ous works, IA Prince of the House of David" "The Pillar of Fire and .sThe Throne of David" produced after he had been ordained as an Episcopal minister and rector of St. Thomas Hall, an academy for boys at Holly Springs, Miss. -

THE NEED OF ECONOMY.

The United States is now al war. A large part of our eountrys $ human energy is taken away from the farms, factories and industries of peace, and until the war ends all their energies will be devoted to fighting.
 A great portion of our productive energy is being turned into the creation of implements of destruc- ton. Many of our products are now being devoted to purposes of war Destruction instead of con- struction is the object of a great portion of the country's energy.
 As much of the human energy and productive capacity of the Ma ton are now being devoted to the purposes of war, so should the proper amount of the money of the United States be so devoted. He who offers his life for his country is offering the greatest possible sacrifice, but the American men and women who support the gov ernment with their money are do- ing their part.
 This war is going to be financed llrgely out of the savings of the American people during the war. It is not too great a sacrifice to make for ones country in time of war to deny ones self luxuries, to cut down unnecessary expenses, to lead quieter and buster lives. Not only will the money thus saved and u ed to buy Liberty Loan Bonds help the United States but the di- unfinished consumption of food and other articles will do much to re- leye the country from the strain of war.
 The less the people use the less St. ain there is upon the productive capacity of the Nation and the more can be devoted to winning the war; the more the people save the more liberal financial support can they give the government. This is the peoples war. and is to be financed by the American peo- pie, not by the rich and not by the poor, but by the rich and the poor, the capitalist and the wage earner, the miner and the farmer and the manufacturer.
