There are two things the Red Cross
wants, and wants quickly--money and
surgical dressings. Both are vitality nec-

OF an army in the field, it is estimated
that at least per cent will, during the

an immense number of surgical dressings
will be needed. They must be all ready.
They must be all exactly alike. They
must be scientifically made.

there are as many ways to raise money

Good Resolution Didn't Last.

When Nathaniel Ripple was just a
youngster he did very little work about
the place. In fact he didn't do any
thing. But one day, when he was al
most ten years of age, he decided to
take some of the work off his mothers
shoulders. When breakfast was over
he ordered his mother to the front
porch. He was going to wash the
dishes for her. When they were I'm
ished he called her to look at them,
and sine vas very much surprised. She
could hardly believe that he had done
all that work by himself. Then he
told her that he was going to wash
them, for her every meal. OF course
she was glad, and she told him ne
might run out and play. Him play?
Not a bit of it. He took the broom
and swept every floor in the house.
Mrs. Ripple, who is a very truthful
woman, said that he swept them just
as good as she could have done 1t her
self. He then informed her that he
was going to sweep them for her every
day. That was the last time Nathaniel
ever washed the dishes or swept the
fioors.-Claude Callan In Kansas City

Became a Bit Worried.

The conversation at a recent social
affair turned to the beautiful indiffer-
ence of some children, when this story
was fttingly related by Representa-
tive Frank l.. Greene Of Vermont:
Recently a small party named Bes-
sic had q birthday. and a little girl
friend Of her own age was invited to
come around and help her celebrate
the glad occasion. Both were given
cake and things, sand afterward they
happily pTanced off TO the upper part
of the house.
Two hours later the mother of Bes-
sic went to look for the children and
found her sweet child sitting alone In
a great armchair nibbling on a rem
nant of the dainty repast.
"Why, Bessie" exclaimed the sur
prised mother. glancing around the
room, "where is your little friend?"
1--WE were playing hide and seek In
the attic" calmly answered Bessie, as
she continued to nibble her cake, land
I gave up looking for her quite a long
time ago."

USE LEGS TO DRIVE HORSES
cavaIrymen Must Keep Hands FREQ
to Fight With-Each Man
a Regular Armory.

A cavalryman must learn to drive
by the pressure of his legs SO both
his hands will be free to fight with,
for n cavalryman is a regular armory
all to himself. He carries a pistol,
a rifle and a saber, and he must be
able to use them freely without being
thrown from his horse.
There's something very romantic
about the cavalry, something very
thrilling about the thunder of hun
dreds of horses hoofs, something that
makes ones heart leap with joy-or
terror, or a mixture of both. For my
self. If / were 'the enemy" l believe
I'd much rather face a machine gun
than a cavalry charge, writes Mary
Woodson Shippey in the Southern
Woman's Magazine. But, somehow.
the cavalry has not proven practicable
in the present war. and as France and
England can furnish about all that
might be needed, most of our cavalry
are to be made into artillery, because
of the great need of artillery.
In fact, all the new cavalry regi-
ments are to be trained as artillery
men. while the old ones are being
trained as infantrymen, although they
will all keep their designation as cav
alrymen. This gives them a double
dose of training--for they must be
able to drill equally well afoot or on
horseback-as well as a double lot
TO learn. But they all insist, to a man,
that they're not infantrymen-or
"doughboys" and 'leather-necks," as
they derisively call them-but "dis-
mounted cavalry" And so be it, since
they are so terribly proud of their
branch of the service and SO loyal
to it.
There were fully as many, or more,
of these "dismounted cavalrymen' up
on the hills going through regular In
fantry drill as there were cavalrymen
astride horses-hundreds Of them,
olive-drab units marching, marching
everywhere among the wheeling, cir
cling horses, making n dizzy just
watching. And standing about on
lone prominences were various off,
GERS, silent, alert, their horses IKE
statues-if statues could switch an
grily at fiies-their keen eyes watch
ing very critically this army Of these
United States grow, picking out the
mistakes and flaws In under-ofdeers
and men.
1t gave n a strange, comforted
feeling-a strange impression of a
determination to see to it that all
these hundreds of boys were perfect
In all the tricks Of the trade, so they
could take care Of themselves. And
how young the most of them seemed!
Slim, smooth-cheeked boys, their faces
just growing up to the square manli-
ness or their Trim shoulders, for the
cavalry takes younger boys than n
other branch Of the service.

.ZAPATA KEPT HIS O M
Bankers to Give Him to Feed
Hungry Men.

One morning Emilio Zapata issued
hibition edict closing the saloons; the
other a command for the bankers Of
the city to assemble for a conference.
The bankers attended the meeting.
They went in fear, dreading confisca-
ton of their deposits. Only q few
days before the armies Of General Car
rama had collected q forced Loan of
ten million pesos from the banks.
What mercy could be expected of the
bandit leaderf
the point. "Caballeros," he said, my
men are hungry. / want 100000 pesos
to feed them for a few day. You will
pay this. | promise you protection.
You may carry on your business with
out moleStation as long as you do not
aid the enemy. You may go when you
sign the order for the money" Thank
full TO escape with such q modest de-
mand, the bankers did as they were
ordered. Zapata kept his part of the
bargain, and for months, the city was
better po!!ced than It has ever been
since Porfri0 Diaz was driven from
Mexico. But this is the strange part
Of the story-strange to one who
knows the system of c~onfiscation
which has bled the business men of
the country. Ten days later Zapata
paid back the 10000 pesos.
