Moment
The Evening.

The Evening.
All through the day we must worl,
with a will,
All through the day we must stay
ut the chore,
Busy at busily filling the TILL
Busy at keep the wolf from the door:
Then at the close of the day do we go
Home for rest and little respite,
After the work is the playtime and oh,
Evenings ut home are the ones that
delight.
Windows arc glowing and warmth is
within,
Houses are homes at the close of the
day,
Then do the pleasantest moments be-
gin,
Then is the season of frolic and play.
All that the morning has scattered and
spread
Gather again with the coming of
night,
Happily homeward TO supper and bed.
Home in the evenings Il thought of
delight.

DRASTIC MEASURES
Tonnage Shortage of Great
Britain Has Caused Sc
rious Situation.
UNESSENTIALS BARRED
Coffee, Tea, Raw Fruits and
Shoes Prohibited From
Importation.

London, Feb. 23.---That Great Britain
is faced with a serious situation, due
to a shortage of tonnage, was the ad
mission made today in the house of
commons by David Lloyd George. the
British prime minister. 1t was a sit
uation which called for most stringent
measures by the government and in or
der to meet it the importation of all
non essentials was to be prohibited.
On the ability of the government to
solve the tonnage shortage which was
now affecting the ordinary needs OF
the nation and military exigencies. said
the premier depended the success OF
the entente allied cause.
If we take drastic measures" the
premier continued, we can cope with
the submarine menace, hut if the ma
ton is not prepared to accept drastic
measures for dealing with the menace
disaster is before us
In the long list of articles prohibited
from importations are coffee, cocoa
tea, raw fruits except lemons and
oranges, hides leather boots and shoes
\ speeding up in agriculture and ship
building is embraced in the scheme
and lcssening in the output of beer is
also provided for in it, in order to save
for food the cereals used in brewing

viii be permitted to make only 10000,
600 barrels as against 100000 barrels
in 1916 and $4,000, 000 in 1914. A CORE
spending restriction is also placed upon
spirits. There is alarm in some quar-
ters over the new order of things, il
being recognized that ordinary trade
will be seriously affected.

SMALL SACRIFICE

London, Feb. o4.--The statement in
George, the British premier, Of tho
governments plan to meet the serious
situation due to the shortage in ton
mage which he said was now affecting
military exigencies has been received
by the press with universal approval
and in many cases with enthusiasm.
Even newspapers which, are least
friendly to the government accept the
governments restrictions uncomplain-
ingly and declare that the nation will
loyalty respond to the plan.
ut is a small sacrifice" said the
ti-Lloyd- Georges Daily News, that
the citizen at home is called upon to
make in comparison with the ordeal
others daily are facing for his sccur-
ity across the sea-
The newspapers which opposed tho
old coalition write enthusiastically Of
the country having found a fearless
leader and declare that the measures
now proposed ought to have been talk
en- two years ago. Hope is expressed
in these quarters that that section Of
the British people which hitherto has
INDUCED in the comfortable conviction
that nothing serious can happen to
them. will be jerked out Of their easy
complacency by the rremicr's declara :
ton that food stocks are alarmingly
low
= The liberal newspapers criticise adj
versely some details of the scheme.
The Daily News is indignant that TO-
100000 barrels of beer will be allowed
to be brewed. This newspaper also
reaffirms that the agricultural pro-
duction cannot be increased if the
army is allowed to draw away farm
laborers.
Everywhere it is recognized that the
ordinary routine of trading will be
seriously affected, but it is too early
yet to give any reliable indications in
this direction. Some traders have is
sued a statement which shows that
considerable alarm exists in some
quarters for instance, in the fruit mar
ket, which it is declared will have to
be closed as regards foreign fruits.
1t was declared at Burton on Trent,
the great brewing center last night.
that there would be enough beer to go
around and the prediction was put for
ward that the price would soon be a
shilling a pint.

storm was not yet over. The tracks
led up a wash to n wide flat where
mesquite, prlckly pear. and thorn-bush
grew so thickly that Jennie could not
ride into 1t. He could not expect her
to scramble quickly through that brake
on foot. Therefore he decided to risk
leaving her at the edge of the thicket
and so In alone.
As he went in a. sound startled him.
Was 1t the breaking of branch ne
had stepped on or thrust aside? he
heard the impatient pound OF MS
horses hoofs. Then all was quiet.
Still he listened, not wholly satisfied.
He was never satisfied in regard to
safety; he knew too well that there
never could be safety for him In this
country. Certain he was now that
some kind Of danger threatened.
Suddenly there came an unmistak-
able thump of horses hoofs Off some
where to the fore. Then scream rent
the air. It ended abruptly. Duane
leaped forward. tore his way through
the thorny brake. He heard Jennie
cry again--an appealing call quickly
hushed. 1t seemed more to his right,
and he plunged that way. He burst
into glade where smoldering fire
and ground covered with footprints
and tracks showed that campers had
lately been. Rushing across this, he
broke his passage out to the open.
But he was too late. His horse had
disappeared. Jennie was gone. There
were no riders in sight. There was no
sound. There was a heavy trail or
horses going north. Jennie had been
carried off--probably by outlaws.
Duane realized that pursuit was out
of the question-that Jennie was lost.
