The Jarr Family BY Roy L. McCardeIl

Tho Individual was evidently an
unimaginative hathouse dweller who
had ong ceased to allow himself to
be misled by the sound OF hammered
pipcs, Wise In these days or war
time prices of coal and economical
landlords, this astute n%eighbor had
evidently started tho winter right by
warming his fiat with portable ami
NAL heat In the shape Of dogs, and
for the first time in her life Mrs.
.Jarr realized why fat-dwellers are 80
fond OF dogs-espec!ally in winter.
II occurred TO Mrs. Jarr hat per-
taps she should permit Master Willie
jagr tc own a good house dog. with,
say. at least four square feet OF ra-
diation. Even a fox terrier might
raise the temperature OF n hall bed
room. while a dachshund. to call from
under the bureau and send scamper-
ing up and down the narrow private
hall. would do much to drive away
the chill OF a frosty morning indoors.
Now. cats. thought Mrs. Jarr. cats
are selfish creatures and will curl up
In obscure corners. thinking only OF
keeping themselves warm; but dogs
are more kindly, more a~fectionate
and, so far as the comforts of home
are concerned In the way OF warmth,
are more In~telligently friendly.
So, with more kindness for animals
in her thoughts, especially as II con-
cerned dogs, Mrs. Jarr battered down
the hallway in her dressing gown and
slippers to the door OF Gertrude. the
maid, and babe that haudmalden
arise.
Then Mrs. Jarr. the domestic Top
Sergeant of that cantonment, began
her daily rounds anew. She now
reused tho sleHp-bound children to
apprise them It was nearly 8 o'clock
which II was not; that breakfast
was nearly ready-and It hadn't been
started; and that they would DO late
for school. The children answered
"Yes'm, wore gettin' up" In their
sleep, nor seemed as worried as they
should have been at tho Idea that
they would be late at their lessons.
Since the last school strike. Master
Jarr especially had had a schola site
relapse and viewed being tardy and
the demerlt marks for the same with
no alarm whatsoever.
Then Mrs. Jarr went 10 the kitchen
and III the gas range and put on the
kettle and set the dining room table
so all the work for Gertrude would
be done. Yet, try az she would. Mrs
Jarr knew she never did Gertrude's
work wholly to suit Gertrude. But
then, Gertrude was very patient with
her mistress and rarely complained.
Making a return trip and arousinl

Has it been to bring about q return Of Tammany, with the graft.

Has it been to open the City Hall to a Murphyized Mayor and q

Has 1t been to deliver the city into the hands Of the disloyal-

THE LISTS.

SYSHE people Of the United States read yesterday the casualty
list Of the first trench fight in which American troops have
been directly engaged with Germans.
Killed: Wounded: Captured or Missing.
How many Americans saw those words in capital letters Yesterday
on the front pages of the newspapers with a sudden catch in the
throat at the thought how many times they must see them there
againi
They have begun-the casualty lists. From now on there are
likely to be few days when captions and names in cold, hare type fail
to bring grief or dread suspense to more than one American heart.
No need to remind us that in France and England these lists
have multiplied and heightened without respite through three years
and more. Each nation that goes to war must learn for itself to
bear its casualty lists. In its own way each must learn to read them
with tender sorrow and sympathy, yet with constantly strengthened
determination.
No man has ever found better words for it than did Lincoln at
Gettysburg-words this nation knows by heart:
shat from these honored dead we take increased devotion To
that cause for which they gave the last full measure OF deyo-
ton-that " e here highly resolve that these dead shall lot
have died In vain" .
Could the people Of the United States do better than take this
noble utterance of their earlier great war President and place il rev.
erently and With his spirit Of "hgh resolve above every list tina,
comes to them bearing the names Of Americans killed overseas while
fighting for the cause that would have been his causeP
