ed Of her for the Red Cross work,

$27,000,0O0 second Liberty bonds al
lotted to her, registered 103 per cent
of her manhood for war service CONF

tothe Government more than 5000
volunteers, no state in the Union hav-
ing sent more in proportion to pop
ulation.
The Governor told the women that
this war is especially vital to them
The Englishman, the Frenchman and
the American have their ideals of
country couched in the form of a beau
tiful woman, with women ever honor
ed and revered; and Of the "man pow
err" of Germany, the "Fatherland" con-
ception of women, he said, has only q
unitarian status in the estimate OF
the Germans.
The Governor said the outcome Of
| this war would settle the status OF
woman in the world civilization for E
thousand years and stressed the ne
cessity for every sacrifice for the sue
cess of the war on the part of the wo
| men and commended the fine spiri
that the women Of North Caroline
are showing.

Another important lesson the SOL
der can leave with the civilian is the
Importance Of regular rest-eight
hours Of sleep every night. Nothing
is allowed to interfere with this i'm
portant order. Every good soldier
soon learns that early taps is as es-
sential to his health as are regular

LAURA JEAN LIBBY'S DAILY TALKS ON TOPICS

of little girl whom we consider quite a wonder. During a few moments absence of her mother the child en- terfadned me with such witty sayings, I was kept convulsed with laughter. I had presented her with 8 little white embroidered dress two years before, and, to test her memory, asked why she hajd not worn it for over a. year. Little May shook her head, declaring she had no remembrance of any such dress as I described. When I insisted she certainly had sue ha dress, she shok her head, clinching the argument by saying: It isn't polite to contra dict a, big lady, butt never saw it on me- Now wasn't that an ingenious manner of closing the discussion? Are the majority of f1ve-year-olds that wise?''
 In homes where little ones are per mitted to be much in the company of their elders, their little ears pick up their manner of expressing them selves, and their words. Those who are continually the companions of children of their own age, do not pick up witty or wise sayings so readily. Environment has much to do with a child's rapid development of thinking powers. I think as you do, that she is certainly a bright youngster.

A DRUG CLERKS DILEMMA

J. M. writes: ''I am a daily reader of your column, but I do not find among the letters you have answered thus far any case similar to mine. So concluded to write to you for sug- gestion. I am a, clerk in a popular drug store. Among our patrons are several young women, whom serve, as my duty calls for. I am cour- teous to them, allowing no, familiar conversation. In the street, when escorting young ladies whom I am proud to have an acquaintance with, these girls, in passing us, will accost me with:-'Hello JimmieH much to my intense annoyance, and the sur prise of the young lady beside me. I have requested them not to annoy me z in this way. They reply that they have the right to speak to a clerk as well in the street as behind the counter. They are spelling my chances with nice girls"
 A mans duties generally give him no choice as to the people he is obliged to be brought into contact with. Be so deeply engrossed in conversation, as they approach that they will not be certain that you know of their proximity. Pay no atten- tion to their salute. The easiest way is the best. You cannot drive away customers from the store from which you are getting your bread and but ter. Nor can you afford to ack- nowledge by your salute undesirable business acquaintances. It is wiser to avoid unpleasant people then to meet them, slight them, and thus arouse their enmity.

 TODAY'S POEM
THE UNREMEMBERING.

Forgive me, Lord, if I seem to forget

 Forgive if I, who dwell where there

 Think not on those whose bangs have no surcease, My brothers, Lord, who in the No Mans Land, Were quite forgot when one wee little hand Slipped into mine, as edgling seeks . nest, While thousands died. I, Lord, could laugh and jest, Babies wept starving, mothers how1ed for bread, The innocent before the Vandal f1edf felt Springs beauty pierce me like a sword, And unremembering laughed. For give me, Lord. Forgive us Lord, who are the clay you made,
 That while so heavily Your hand is laid On other lands, we here can so for Your gifts receive, eyes eager and un-- wet, You see us living, radiant, joyousiy, At some pale puny triumph full Of glee.
 So greedy for the cup of happiness. Unmindful of our brethren in dis treSs, Our birds return the magic old to fling,
 Till we forget the hearts that have no Spring, O Father! if these hearts you fash toned seem As adamant to babes cry, widows scream, |Remember that twas You that fram- ed them so; And when so lightly on our way we |lThink of us as of children in a. place, face, Who through the saddened rooms still laugh and sing, All unafraid of life's dark shadow ing.
 So thinking on us, You shall US for For only so could our frail hearts still live; Our hearts that must an armor fash ion, Lord, Steel proof against sweet sympathys swift sword,
 You, only, breeding in your highest sky, | Are strong enough to watch your chil- dren die, You, only, dare be big enough for grief, Our little hearts must ever seek re- lief.
 So when we seem our brothers to for get, Forgive, remembering we are children yet. Mary Agnes O'Conor

Rumania's Crown of Steel.

When disaster overlook Rumanian arms and the Germans under Mack ensen and Falkenhayn swept through the country, it was not possible for King Ferdinand to. remove all the crown jewels from Bucharest in time to prevent their capture by the inva- der. Among the royal insignia which thus fell into the hands of the Kaiser's hordes was the Royal Crown of Rumania, which is regarded as the grimmest object of its kind in the world. It was made by command of King Charles, predecessor of Ferdi- hand, from the steel of a Turkish gun captured at P1evna. On May 10, 1881, after this and the simple golden crown, without jewels or ornaments, made for the Queen, had been con secrated by the metropolitan, King Charles took his crown into his hands with the words: '.I assume with pride this crown wrought from can non sprinkled with the blood of our heroes and consecrated by the Church I accept it as a, symbol of the inde- pendence and power of Rumania."

ward-these now belonged to Meri- wether Lewis, to them both, his moth CT knew. But why did not his laugh sound high like that of his friend?
 Spic and span, cap-a-pie, pictures of splendid young manhood, the two cap tains rode one afternoon up to the great gate before the mansion house of the nation. Lewis looked about him at scenes once familiar. And when, running on ahead of his companion, he knocked at MT. Jefferson's office door, f1inging it open as he did so with the freedom of his old habit, he looked in upon familiar sight.
 Thomas Jefferson was sitting bent over his desk, as usual filtered with a thousand papers, and on the top of the desk, spread out long and over all, lay a great map whose identity these two young men easily could tel1-the Lewis and Clark map sent back from the Mandan country. Thomas Jefferson had kept it at his desk every day since 1t had come to him, more than two years before.
 He turned now toward the door casually, for he was used to the inter ruptions of his servants. What he saw out his arms impulsively, he shook the hand of each in turn, drew them to him before he motfoned them to seats. Never had Meriwether Lewis seen such emotion displayed by his chief.
 'I could hardly wait for you? said MT. Jefferson. He began to pace up and down. "I knew 1t, knew itv' he exclaimed ''Now they will call us constitutional, perhaps, since we have added a new world to our countryi My son, that was our vision. You have proved 1t. You have been both dreamer and. doer!'
 He came up and placed half play full hand on Meriwether Lewis shouls der.
 "Did I know men, then?" he de handed.
 "And did I, MT. Jefferson? Captain Clark
 "You do not say the title correctly! It is not Captain Clark, it is not Cap tain Lewis, that stand before me now. You are to have 1000 acres of land, each of you.

CHAPTER XIX. Mir. Jefferson's Advice.

sN EtERNE, my boy" said Thomas
 IM Jefferson when at length they
 two were alone once more in
 the little office, "I cannot say what your return means to me. You come as one from the grave-you resur- rect another from the grave"
 Meaning, MT. Jefferson?"
 '.You surely have heard that my ad- ministration is in sad disrepute? There is no man in the country hated so bit terly as myself. We are struggling on the verge of war"
 q heard some talk in the west, MT. Jefferson" "hesitated Meriwether Lewis
 'Yes, they called this Louisiana pur- chase, on which I had set my heart, nothing but extravaganza. The machi- nations of Colonel Burr have added nothing to its reputation. General Jackson is with Burr and many other strong friends. And meantime you know where Burr, himself is-in the Richmond jail. I understand that his friend Mr. Merry has gone yonder to visit him. Our country Is degenerated to be no more than scheming ground plotting place for other powers. You come back just in the nick of time You have saved this administration Your failure would have cost us all the Mississippi valley, besides all the valley of the Missouri and the Co., 1umbia. Yes, had you not succeeded Aaron Burr would have succeeded! In- stead of a great republic reaching from ocean to ocean we should have had a scattered coterie of states of no en- durance, no continuity, no power. Thank God for the presence of one great, splendid thing gloriously done! You cannot, do not, begin to measure it's importance"
 "We are glad that you have been eleased, MT. Jefferson," said Lewis simply.
 Pleased! Pleased! Say rather that I am saved! Say rather that this coun- try is saved! Had you proved disloyal to me, had you for any cause turned back" he went on, think what had been the result! What load, although you knew it not, was placed on your shoulders! Had you failed you would have dragged the flag of your country ip the dust Had you cama back any
