Business Man Succeeded in Keeping

Kept Out His Wife.

I'll call in a day or twO's time, and
perhaps you will by then have altered
your mind" said the lady as she was
being shown out.
MIR. Oldboy was annoyed. He had
just been pestered by a c%anvasser,
and resolved it would be the last
time. Calling in the Office boy, he
gave him instructions accordingly.
look here, my lad !" he said, impress
sively, "if a lady calls again to see
me say I'm out, or, If you like, that
| won't see her. Do you hear?"
"Yes, sir"
IF she refuses to go tell her I'll
give her in charge. l won't have any
thing to do with her!"
"Yes, sir" the lad replied, and with

The next day, as chance would have

vicinity of her husbands office, and
decided to call in.

"lou can't, ma'am!" defiantly an
swered the lad, remembering his In
St%ructions.

That's what he told me, so l should

Mrs. OldbOy, highly indignant, left
without attempting to say another
word.
That night it took Mr.. OidbOy ex-
actly an hour and forty minutes to ex-
plain matters.

there will be no stopping the stream of
wounded until the war Is won. And
the Red Cross cannot afford to let a
single fighting nan die for lack of a
bandage or a splint. Is our commu-
nifty doing its part?
In France right now the supply Of
gauze and linen is so low that they
are reported to be using old newspa-
pers to stanch bleeding wounds. That
must never happen to an American SOL
dier. And unless the American people
get behind the Red Cross with all their
strength and In all their numbers, and
train themselves to turn out supplies
for their hospitals, 1t may happen.
1t would be the irony of fate II n
soldier from Our own town-perhaps
your W family, or mine-were to get
gangrene in his wound, perhaps lose
an arm or a leg OF ever his life, be-
u we folks here had failed to fur
nish the dressings for his wound.

Black Soldiers Acted Well.

Camels evidently despise bullets.
The camel transport corps was In
action recently, somewhere In Meso-
potamia, and received its baptism Of
fire. No shell or bullet can excite the
stold, contemplative animal; but It
might have been expected that the
camel drivers, unarmed and unframed
for war, would have run for 1t at the
first sign of attack. Yet, in fact, most
of them responded admirably to the
call of their British officers and stuck
to their animals while bullets whizzed
around. With characteristic simplicity,
or It may be obstinacy, when told to
bring In their camels to shelter they
insisted on taking with them the blank
cts which are issued to every man, lest
they should be stolen in their absence.
Some wanted to mount hill under
fire to get their money from their tents.
The contempt which Soudnnese stall
wart feels for the modern long-range
fighting was expressed by one head
man-the more warlike Soudanese reg
ularly act as head-men over the Egyp-
tian peasants, who remarked, as the
shells burst, that In his country they
fought 1t out with knives"

Discipline.

There is not that thing In the world
OF more grave and urgent Importance,
throughout the life Of man, than is
discipline. What need l instance2 He
that hath read with judgment Of ma
tions and commonwealths, Of cities
and camps, of peace and war, sea and
land. will readily agree that the -four
ishlng and decaylng Of all civil socie-
ties, all the movements and turnings
of human occasions, are moved to and
fro MS on the axle Of discipline. so
that whatsoever power and sway In
mortal things weaker men have attrlb-
uted to fortune, burst with more
confidence ascribe either to the vlgor
or the slackness Of discipline. And
certainly discipline is not only the re-
| moyal of disorder but the very
visible shape and image of virtue |;
whereby she is not only seen In
the regular gestures and motions of
her heavenly PAGES as she walks, but
also makes the harmony OF her voice
audible to mortal ears.-Milton.
