Kathleen Dunn had been living in
this country about three years when
her aunt died, and she found herself
thrust upon her own resources. and
very much alone in the world. After
everything was settled she found there
were four hundred dollars left to her,
but she reasoned that would not last
long TO live upon in the great city of
New York, so she started out to find
work. The only thing for which she
was fitted was domestic service. She
loved children. and she found a s'tua-
ton as nurSemaid in the home of the
Dimlers, wealthy residents of River
side drive. The girl was trifle I'M
used TO the ways of the trained serv-
ants of the very elegant menage, but
her unfailing good humor and willing
ness to learn won over Mrs. Dimler.
and the four-year-old boy and Kath-
leen were soon the best of chUms.
Kathleen had the purple violet eyes
shaded with long soft lashes, and the
White. clear complexion of a colleen of
the County Clare.
She was happy in her new home, her
mistress was kind to her, and even Mr.,
Dimler had several times spoken very
pleasantly TO her, and talked with her

VETERANS HOLDING THEIR
OWN AT The HOT CORNER
Mike Mowrey Heads List OF Old
Timers Who Have Had an Easy
Time Defeating Youngsters.

Does a third baseman improve with
age, or is the hot corner so hard to
play that the few real stars who make
good in the big show have little trou-
bic holding their jobs?
The question is hard one to an
swer, but the records show that the
veteran third sackers in the big
leagues today are distinctly in a class
by themselves when it comes to all
round playing, year in and year out.
Take Il slant over the hot corner

and you will find that the best men
holding down third base have served
from five years upward and are still
going big. In the National league Mike
Mowrey of the Dodgers was serving his

Hetnie Zimmerman of the Giants is

America, and if she liked it here. He
pressions, and Kathleen concluded he
must be q nice man, even if he did
spend so much time away from home.
She was innOcently glad to be liked
by her employers, and TO feel she was
giving satisfaction. But her good Opin-
ion of Mr. Dimler one day had rude
shock She was passing through the
hall when Dimler caught her in his
arms, holding her tightly and kissing
her. Kathleen fought, finally freeing
herself from his grasp. In fright and
bewifderment she stood at bay. and
looked at him. Then she found voice
to speak.
"Never do that again. You are an
insulting BEAST" she said with rising
indignation.
Come come Don't be a little fool ~
he laughed. There's no harm in a
kiss
'There is from you toto me-" she
answered.
"Yes. there might be TO you if you
went and told" he threatened. But l
don't think you will. You'll think bet
ter of if. Well be good friends yet"
With a light laugh he ran up the
stairs. With trembling fingers Kath-
leen smoothed her hair and adjusted
her cap. Then she sank weakly into
a chair, and tried 70 think what she
must do. Brought up as she had been,
she took the matter much more Seri-
ously than most girls in her position
would have done. She felt she must
leave the place as soon as possible.
But she could not tell Mrs. Dimler why
she was leaving, and if she could give
no reason she was not likely TO re-
ceive Il recommendation from her mis-
tress. Without that, how was she to
secure another position? She conclud-
ed TO wait awhile, hoping Mr. Dimler
would not again speak TO her. but in
less than a week he tried to repeat
his undesirable attentions. and kath
leen was forced to give notice.

So Kathleen received Il fine recon

other place. Her new home was alsC

For Red Cross Service.

Jane A. Delano writing in the ST.
Nicholas of the field for service n the
Red Cross nursing staff, states:
Il would not advise any girl to en-
ter training school until she Is at
least twenty years old, but younger
girls in advanced schools or colleges
can now be preparing themselves with
special studies for the work to come.
For such girls l would recommend
extra chemistry courses and advanced
courses in arithmetic because of the
need for strict accuracy in preparing
mixtures according to formulas), and
special attention to physiology and
anatomy. while knowledge of Latin
makes it easier for student-nurSes to
learn surgical and medical terms. Then,
too, / would emphasize the study of
voice training and expression. 1t is

Church Bells

1t has been argued that churches
in cites do not need bells to remind
people when it is time to go to church
because everybody has clocks and
watches This reminds us of a story
published so long ago it will be news
to most of us. 1t has been given
recently by Marietta U. D. C. who
is poet. and appreciates the beauty
and meaning of the incident. 1t was
told by member of the Second Ma
sachusetts regiment who assisted
Gen. Sherman in destroying Atlanta.
This was in August 1864 and on a
Sunday morning the order had been
given to shell the city. After in
spection and parade the Massachu-
sets soldiers went our to hill back
of their camp to watch the effect of
the shells on the city. The story con-
tinues:
1--WE could see the churches of At
lanta, from the spires of several of
which were floating rebel flags. The
batteries were in position, the guns
shotted, the fuses were in and an of
ficer stepped up to pull the lanyard
to fire the first shot. AS he lifted
his hand, the sound of a church bell
ringing the people to worship fell on
his ear.
''For moment, there was silence.
The officers looked from one to the
other, and the shot was not fined that
day. The Sunday church-going bell
was too much for the Twetieth corps
Of Sherman's army. But on Monday
the city got it."
Think of that! The church BELLS
message is understood by men of
every language and creed and if it
could be universally heard and heed
ed there would be peace on earth and
good will toward men in every land.

The Man Behind the Plow.

All the world is on tension
From this record-breaking war;
Not nation you can mention
But has felt its cruel jar.
And the problem now is feeding
Those who carry on the row,
So the man the world is needing
Is the Man Behind the Plow.
Soldiers training for such cunning
On the seas and on the land
AS to to put the foe to running
When the captain gives command.
Every man to duty bending
With the sweat upon his brow,
But the strength to fight depending
On the Man Behind the Plow.
Transportation's mighty moguls
Are belching fire, steam and
smoke,
While the painting beast of burden
Presses to the calling yoke
In an effort to be ready
For the forced, uncalled-for blow !;
And our confidence is steady
With the Man Behind the Plow.
Not laggard nor shirker,
Nor an idle plot of ground,
Neither a half-hearted worker
In this nation should be found
Men in trenches bleeding, dying,
Keeping their enlistment vow,
Hungry women, children, crying,
To Man Behind the Plow.
Not in hatred nor for conquest
Would we dare to take hand
But in kindness make our protest
For the good of every land.
If we're right then God will aid us,
Help US make good freedoms VOW,
And we pray to Him who made us
Help the Man Behind the Plow.
God of pity and compassion,
Look upon this human sea;
Help us follow in the fashion
Of the Man of Galilee
When His enemies assaulted,
Pressed the thorns upon His brow.
May this conflict soon be halted,
By the Man Behind the Pillow.

America Draws First Blood

The United States has drawn first
blood in the war with Germany. The
armed merchant ship Mongolia turn
ed her guns upon one of the Kaiser's
pirate craft which was about to at
tack her and at the first shot, at a
range of a thousand yards, shivered
the periscope and sent the reptile of
the seas bubbling to it doom.
This first shot of the war will
make wholesome impression upon
Won Tirpitz and his school. In vague
sort of way they must have known
that however unprepared we might
be in the number of our ships, Ameri-
can gunnery was not to be despised
The 100 per cent score with which
we have opened hostilities at sea will
drive home the conviction that the
mafksmen of our navy need but to
see the foe in order to give a good
account of themselves In the days
that are to crowd upon one another
we may rely upon it that American
naval guns will send another pirate
to Davy Jones' locker.
The incident will arouse enthusiasm
throughout the country. We feel
at last that we are engaged in some
thing more than a paper war. The
righteous Indignation of our people
who have suffered one indignity af-
ter another since the sinking of the
Lusitania has been translated into
action
Let those who will seek to gloss
1t, the fact remains that we take
a manly pride in avenging the death
of Ebert Hubbard and Charles Fro
man and all the Americans of high
and low degree who have been MUIR
dered on the high seas by the
Mailman of Europe. We are at last
answering his banditry by the only
argument he understands. The pach-
ydermic hide which is impervious to
the delicate shafts of reason and law
can at least be penetrated by good
American steel in the hands of good
American guRners
AS truly as when the embattled
farmers stood at Lexington, we have
fired the shot which will be heard
around the world.-Macan News.

MARIETTA BOY ON PRESIDENTS
YACHT

Mr.. Walter Conger returned on
Monday to his position on President
Wilson's private yacht, the "Sylph. !"
The official yacht, assigned to the
president and so often mentioned in
the papers, is the 'Mayflower" which
is used to carry him to places where
he makes a speech or to meet dis
tinguished guests as it did recently
when the British and French rep
resentatives arrived.
Mr.. Conger enlisted as a sailor in
1913 and was trained on the U. S. S.
New Jersey. He was at Vera Cruz
during the first clash with Mexico
and has seen service in the West
Indies also. He brought home an
interesting collection of souvenirs
from all parts of the world. He
thinks Italy is the most interesting
country he has visited. Among the
$4,000 men in the navy is it con-
sidered quite an honor to find a
place on the "Sylph"
Mr.. Conger is looking remarkably
well and evidently enjoys his work.
President and Mrs. Wilson take their
married daughters with their chill
dren for little river trips on the
"Sylph" and also take intimate
friends for brief sails up and down
the Potomac. Mr.. Wilson is very
democratic and chats with members
of the crew and every one on the
boat is devoted to every member of
the presidents family.

school in Chicago. A representative
of the school came up from At
lanta Monday and brought the
gift in recognition of the success he
won in defamation in the contest
among the schools in this congress
sional district. His delivery of the
speech on Sunday afternoon was very
fine, worthy of the patriotic senti-
ments expressed in such elegant and
forceful language. The address is
