BABIES.

Being very young baby is prob
ably most exasperating affair. A
young baby almost invariably is so
furious over the whole matter as to
grow very red in the face and ex-
postulate wrathfully in high key.
After yelling with remarkable en-
ergy and application all morning a
,aby viii knock IF fol VIII le when
1T hears the noon whistle and start in
when 1t wakes up again.
Much has been said about the young
fathers establishment and anxiety at
sight of his first born and his earnest
hope that it will develop something of
more human aspect. He would not
be surprised to see 1t streak across the
room and chatter at him from the top
Of the bureau.
A young baby, however, usually re-
CARDS Its father with distrust and sus-
picion. Here is the man who proposes
to bring it up, an unpleasant ordeal
enough, and furthermore IL it has to
be brought up it would rather have 1t
done by most anyone else than this
light-headed sawk who is going to ne
nasty just because he happens to be it's
male parent. On the whole a baby
doesn't take much of shine to its
father.
BY way of reprisal 1t usually goes
in for vocal expression, thus serving
two ends, as 1t gets even with the male
parent and also supplies the comic
weeklies with refined humor.

In Broken Belgium.

broken heart from a broken home
Sought the broken church of the broken
town
To find at its altar the comfort she
craved
When the Comforter seemed to have
flown.
A broken chancel,
A broken cross,
And a broken Christ we're all
The mourner found that awful
day
When she went to the usual place
to pray.
The crucified Christ
From the crucifix torn.
Was mingled with dust and debris,
And the blood of the worshipers
Caught in the church
When the murderous Smelling was done.
Yet she humbly kneeled
In that gruesome aisle
And prayed to God from that
funeral pile,
And looked above
The carnage there:
And heavens dove
To answer prayer,
In silence brought
The peace she sought;
The broken heart was healed.

these are most intractable maladies.

Lest we forget" Is the title which
has been selected for the great screen
drama of International events In which
Rita Jolivet Is starred.
THIS picture deals with accurrances
involving the beginning or the war
and especially the early German in
vasion of Belgium and northern
France and the sinking OF the Lusi-
tania.
Many scenes in the picture are laid
on board the Inflated steamship. Par
ticularly fine are the spectacular
scenes in which the Lusitania Is shown
on the high seas just previous to and
at the moment of Its destruction by
German submarine. Prominent per-
sonages in the public life of England.
France and America are represented in
group including Charles F'rohman, AL
fred Vanderbilt and Rita Jolivet, who.
II will be recalled, were standing hand
In hand at the time the Lusitania
sank-Miss Jolivett alone survived her
companions. We see also the inter
Tor of the German submarine which
fired the shot which eventually leo
America into the war.
The play deals with secret service In
France, England and America. and
shows the cooperation between the
British and American foreign offices in
handling German spies on both sides
of the Atlantic.

THE RIGHT SORT.

THE RIGHT SORT.
This mortal ball
Contains, in all
The many who have blessed It
Two different kinds
OF folks, one finds,
And two alone infest 1t;
For there are some
When duties come
That yearn to shirk and shoe EN-,
And there are those
Who scratch their nose
And go ahead and do 'em.
The sages teach
Life brings to each
The irking task and chore, too,
(The thought, It's true
Is scarcely new,
It's been in print before, too!)
Some only pine
And fret and whine
And seldom cease to rue 'em,
But there's a few
Thank heavens, who
Just go ahead and do EN-.
The world has rolled
(SO we are told
In all of history's pages)
Upon it's way
Both night and day
Throughout the countless ages,
And it has known
A lot of moan
When tasks and duties child 'em,
1t chiefly owes
It's thanks to those
Who went ahead and did 'em.

HERO OF MANILA BAY.
Biographical Sketch of Admiral
 George Dewey.

Admiral George Dewey, Hero oi Manila Bay" fought and won the first great American naval battle against foreign foe since the war of fSi2.
 His whole life was full of honor able achievement from the days of the civil war down to the time when, as the head of the general board, he began the last chapter of his work by laying plans for the defense of his country in time of war, His life was a striking complication of the possibilities of career based upon the exact and intelligent per- f0rmanee of every routine duty which molds man on iniiexibIe lines of honor and duty.
 One of the curious freaks of for tune in Dewey's case was that for perhaps the first and only time in his naval career he was disposed tC protest against the edict of the navy department which carried him to the Far East, where he was des- tined to perform the greatest feat Nt t1iN tiAG 0tiH tV WILL liilUtI iNtAuitlt renown That was back in 1898 when war clouds were gathering and Dewey felt that he was being 'shelved'; that the war with Spain was to be fought out in the Gulf ol Mexico and the Caribbean sea ana that he, distant by half the circum- ference of the globe would stand nc chance of winning glory, for al that moment no thought whatever had been given to the Philippines. But he took his orders and likc a true sailor obeyed them. The result is q page of history under date of May i, is9S.
 Contrary to Spanish expectations, Dewey sailed into Manila bay on the night of April 90 and in the morning of the next day he annihiated Ad- miral Montejo's squadron, destroy ang eleven warships and capturing all other vessels and all the land batteries without the loss of a man on the American side
 Upon his triumphant return tc the United States he was feled by the nation His admirers presented him with beautiful homo in Che National Capital. Congress gave him an engraved sword. and raised him from the rank of Commodore te Hear Admiral and then Co the full rank of the Admiral of the Navy.
 Admiral Dewey was the third American to reach that pinnacle oI naval rank Farragut was the first and Porter the second It was un- der Farragut that Dewey received his first baptism in war.
