years, Mrs. Mary Mulherin, of 1910
Price street, eighty years old. walk
ed into the naval recruiting agency
here accompanied by her grandson,
seventeen years old. Her mission
was to give the boy to the nation.
Although the youngest Is her sole
support and without his help she
faces the poorhouse for the end of
her days, Mrs. Mulherin said she was
willing to spare him.

troops manning his front trenches
seek shelter in their dugouts until
the shower of steel has stopped.
The enemy's uncertainty as to
what Is to happen frequently leads
to his undoing. for before he has
made up his mind that French guns
have decided to cease firing and that
1t is safe to come out from the shell
ters again he finds French soldiers
leaping into the trenches and throw
Ing grenades into the mouths of the
dugouts while calling on their oc-
cupants to surrender. Refusal or
hesitation means a further volley of
granades and almost certain severe
injury or death to those inside.
Therefore they shout ''Kamarade,"
throw down their arms and come
out to be chased before their cap

work of barbed wire to the French
lines.
Regiments Specialize for Raids
In one division the regiments made
speciality of surprise trench raids
and acquired almost unbelievable
skill In carrying them out almost
without loss to themselves. One reg
iment, in the course of the last
month, had to its credit ten such
raids, as a result of which. besides
killing many enemies, they captured
fifty-three German prisoners, with
out the loss of single Frenchman.
The French and German lines are
so close that a raid rarely takes
more than ten minutes-just the
time to race across the open, make
the haul of prisoners and race back
with them again. Night or day
makes no difference-the main idea
is to go over the top and get back
to the French lines with the pris-
oners after causing as much damage
as possible before the Germans have
time to throw In reinforcements to
their front trench,

Prunes And Bees.

For three years the division OF po-
mology of the University Of California has
been investigating the causes Of the vari-
alton in prune crops in the Santa Clara
Valley. Experiments show that the COM
mon honeybee is one OF the most import
ant agencies in producing good crops.
The fact was proved by covering two
pairs of adjoining French and Imperial
pune trees with large tents OF mosquito
netting and placing hive OF bees in one
OF the tents as soon as the blossoms open
ed. The bees started TO work at once
and probably visited every blossom on
the trees. After the petals OF the bios
SONS had fallen and there was no further
danger that pollen would be brought from
outside sources 10 the trees under obser-
walton, the tents were taken down. II
soon became evident that the French
pnine tree in the tent with the bees had
set a much heavier crop than the best
OF the exposed trees. whereas the two
trees in the tent from which the bees had
been excluded had set very light crops.
Later, the weight OF The fruit borne by
the French pune tree made II necessary
TO prop the branches. In proportion
to the number OF blossoms, that tree bore
fully five times as many prunes as the
ordinary French prune tree bears. The
results have so deeply impressed the
prune growers OF Caliion Ia that many OF
them are buying swams ot bees. and
others are planning 10 hire swarms for
use during The blossoming season.

Thy Fathers Friend.

In the will OF the late Justice Lamar OF
the United States Supreme Court there
was one very unusual legacy. He be-
queatfed his friendships TO his family.
"To my family" the will runs, 81 be-
queath friendships many and numerous IN
the hope that they will be cherished and
continued. True friendships are the most
valuable oil our earthly possessions, more
precious than gold, more enduring than
marble palaces, more important than
fame -. . AS Henry Drummond has
we'll said, Friendship is the nearest thing
we know to what religion is 7 %
The family that inherits such wealth
is truly rich. But it is legacy that must
beused if it would be preserved. Friend
ships cannot be locked away in safes or
loaned to historical exhibits and museums.
Like love and faith and courage. they be-
long to that intangible treasure OF the soul
that must be kept from destruction by
constant service. Ii is not alone material
things that trust doth corrupt"
How many of us have let slip through
busy or careless fingers the beautiful and
glowing friendships OF our youth ? We
did not mean to do it; in1eed we have
often regretted the loss until, as the years
pass, the regret gradually fades away.
And if that is true of our own friends,
how far more true OF our fathers friends !
Yetthere have been families where friend
ships have passed down from father to
son for several generations.
There is food for thought here. How
many fathers are building up fine and
loyal and serviceable friendships that
they can with pride and gratitude be-
queath to their sons? How many moth
ers are storing up like treasures for their
daughters e? The question does not end
there How many young people OF To-
day are fitting themselves 10 receive
such legacies ? How many in all the
varied and urgent calls OF life are needing
the challenge TO make themselves worthy
OF friendships by being loyal and fine
tempered and generous friends them
selves?
"A man that hath friends" the old Book
of Wisdom declares, "must show himself
friendly; and again, "Thine own friend
and thy fathers friend forsake not"
