A SOLDIER ON THE BORDER.

Alice E. writes: Some time ago l sent some things to the soldiers on the border. Just for fun, l tucked my picture in package of cocoa-which was on a small card the size of a postage stamp. My address was on the back. Recently I received a let ter from a young soldier|nto whose hands the cocoa fell-asking me f" correspond with him. He stated ne could give the highest of reference as to character, home-folk, etc. Should l do SO? Do you think the border boys are all right? All de- pends on your answer"
 Some of the noblest and best young men in our country are among the sol- diers on the Mexican border. I have the greatest respect for them. If his commander-in-c chief will vouch for him that he is all that he represents himself to be and your parents do not disapprove. of your idea to cheer a lonely soldiers heart with letters bright and hopeful from, the outside world, write him occasionally in your leasiure hours. You know you invit- ed the correspondence. by sendingi your photo You are to be congratulated that it fell into worthy hands.

PRINCESS BEATRICE.

iii IT f
 Both the daughter and the mother of 3 Queen Victoria-this is the dis tinetion of H. R. H. Princess Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore. the youngest of the offspring of the late Queen Vic- toria, and the mother of Queen Vic- toria Of Spain. Princess Beatrice will be 50 years old tomorrow, as she was born on April IA, 1857. It was in 1885 that Queen Victoria's 'ababy" be- came the bride of Prince Henry of Battenberg, who died in 1896. It was at the wedding of Prince Louis of Battenberg, former First Sea Lord Of the British navy, and Princess Vic- toria of Hesse, a Granddaughter of Queen Victoria, that Princess Beatrice met Prince Henry, and, it is said, fell immediately in love with him. Prince Henry died on board British war vessel. on. the way home from an ex- pedition to Ashantee. Princess Bea- trice was singularly happy in her married life. The title of Princess of Battenberg was conferred upon the mother of Prince Henry and Admiral Prince Louis by the Grand Duke of Hesse when the latter's son, Alexan- der of Hesse, insisted upon marrying a woman of non-royal blood.

casion by delivering sermons. Women have always lectured, some on the platform and many more that the world never heard of in their homes. Tn hamlets, many wife has taken her seat beside her husband at the cob bler's bench to help him get out work that was promised. Haven't women always been inventors? The patent office in Washington is crowded with their work. Women have run news papers.
 But no matter how busy the woman of the future may be there will always be a path in her heart that will lead to love and matrimony. Her vocation will be a thing apart. She may be a mayoress. But that will not prevent her from enacting a dual life, from always being good wife and mother

 What woman, father?"
 A flush came to her pale cheek. Her father turned to her directly, his own piercing gaze aflame.
 'T1ere is but one woman on earth could do that, my daughter! That young mans fate was settled when he looked on that woman-when he looked on you."
 She swiftly turned her head aside, not answering.
 Am so engaged in affairs that l cannot see the obvious, my dear?' went on the vibrant voice. Had no eyes for what went on at my side this very evening at MT. Jefferson's dinner ta ble? Could I fail to observe his look to you-and, yes, am I not sensible to what your eyes said to him in reply?"
 'Do you believe that of me-and you my father?'
 ''I believe nothing dishonorable of you, my dear" said Burr. Neither could I ask anything dishonorable. But I know what young blood will do. Your eyes said no more than that for me. l know you wish him well-know you wish we'll for his ambition, his success am sure you do not wish to see him doomed to failure. What-would you see his career ib1ighted when it should be but begun?"
 There would be prospects for him?"
 'All the prospects in the world! l would place him only second to myself, so highly do value his talents in an enterprise such as this. Alston's mon- ~, but Lewis brains and courage! chey both love you. Do not know?"
 Troubled, again she turned her gaze aside.
 'Listen, my daughter. That young man is wise. He has no such vast be- lief in wonder expedition. He is going in desperation, to escape a memory! Is. it not true? Tell me-and believe that I am not blind-is not Captain Lewis going into the Missouri country in order to forget certain wo1nanT'
 Still her downcast eye gave him no reply.
 "Meriwether Lewis yonder among the savages is a failure. Meriwether Lewis with me is second only to the vicegerent of the lower Louisiana coun- try. Texas, Florida, much of Mexico, will join bands with US, that is sure. We fight with the great nations of the world, not against them-we fight with the stars in their courses and not against them.

SEEING A GIRL HOME.

Jennie writes: 'I am girl of nineteen and attend Sunday school regularly. Recently I was introduced to young man who has ever since waited for me outside to see me home. When we reached there could not help but invite him in for tea. After eating he always has some excuse to go right away. My brother says. "He is coming only for the eats.' How am I to know if this is true?"
 Make the excuse that you are not to have tea at home for the next few times he beaus you home. If he is interested in you and not the tea 1t will make no difference in his future attitude. Rather than misjudge a young man give him every opportun- ity to mae good.

GUARD DUTY.

A great deal of the work which our military forces will be called on to do will seem pretty tedious The soldier will often wonder what he IS there for anyway. As he marches up and down a railroad bridge hour after hour and day after day. with rot a thing to arouse his suspicion or to attract his attention, it Will seem liAe a foolish waste of time and money.
 There will be atendency a in the dark hours of lonesome nights to take bit of a rest ending in a snooze. That will be just the time when alplotting foe will come along with his package of dynamite The watching of vital public works like bridges is, how ever. a. real task and it will call for vigilance, particularly after the nov elty has worn off There have been enough attempts to blow up these structures already to suggest that alien enemies have their eyes on them. E
 For making itself effective in the great war in which it has entered, the United States needs command of all it's resources. It's communications need to be prompt and complete. The de- struction of a few bridges on import ant railroad lines or the blowing up of terminals could produce a great amount of confusion and delay. Tenn porary structures would have to be used and the handling of traffic would be held up. Schedules would be thrown into confusion, and the move ment of supplies and troops hamper ed.
 So wherever a soldier Is placed on guard duty during this war period, hA should look at his job as real one, one calling for vigilance, and one on which the country is depending. He can never know in what hour the bomb end may turn up. If he everf does turn up, it would be at the hour when he was least expected and when his coming would seem most unlikely. One thing is sure that if these public works were not carefully guarded. . lot of them would fall a mark to the active colony of bomb plotters whose plans for such attacks are no doubt already well laid.

- SuuTlSc HI tue litIlC OuICS IOOAA of Thomas Jefferson. Spread upon his desk, covering it's litter of unfinished business, lay large map map which today would cause any schOolboy to smile, but which at that time represent ed the wisdom of the world regarding the interior of the great North Ameri- can continent. It had served to afford anxious study for two men these many hours.
 "Yonder it liesi Captain Lewis!" said MT. Jefferson at length. "How vast, how little known! We know our eli mate and soil here. It is but reason able to suppose that they exist wonder as they do with us, in some part at least. If so, yonder are homes for mil- lions now unborn. Had General Bona parte known the value of that land he would have fought the world rather than alienate such a region"
 The president tapped long forefin- ger on the map.
 "This, then" he went on, ''is your country. Find it out-bring back to me examples. of it's soil, its products, its vegetable and animal life. Espy out especially for us any strange animals there may be of which science has not yet account. I hold it probable that there may be yOnder living examples of the mastodon, whose bones we have found in Kentucky. You yourself may see those enormous creatures yet alive
 Meriwether Lewis listened in silence. Mir. Jefferson turned to another branch of his theme.
 "I fancy that soGe time there will be a canal built across the isthmus that binds this continent to the one below a canal which shall conpect the two great oceans. But that is far i'll the future. It is for you to spy out the way now across the country itself. Ex- plore it-discover it-it is our new world.
 "A few must think for the many" he went on. "I had to smuggle this ap- propriation through congress-$2, BOO the price of a poor Virginia farm! have tempered with the constitution it. self in order to make this purchase of a country not included in our original territorial lines. I have taken my own ehances-just as you must take yours now. The finger of God will be your guide and your protector. Are you ready, Captain Lewis? It is late"
 Indeed, the sun was rising over Washington; the nlists of morning were reeking along the banks of the Potomac.
