Western Soldiers Rugged.

The "early to bed and early to rise"
slogan is noticeable on the faces Of
the boys in khaki who are arriving
here from the West and other parts Of
the country. These youths are Ger.
tainly typical of the real American.
Health, Drawn and muscle ire their
principal characteristics and with all
this there Is q certain amount Of chiv-
airy that Is not seen in New York.
The average New Yorker is a pale in
dividual. Indoor work. Of course, is
responsible for this and he always Is
in such a hurry that he thinks Of no
one but himself. Some of the New
York youths marvel at the appearance
Of these visitors from the West. They
cannot understand why they should be
so rudy. The explanation Is easy,
It Is because they spend more time In
the open. Nevertheless the appearance
of the boys from other parts of the
country is causing II kinds Of jeal
ousy.-New York Times.

PUT IT SQUARELY UP TO DAD
Young Son Of Famous Member Of "Vis-
ilantes" Frankly Considered His
Father a Stacker.

Ellis Parker Butler, the author, who
lives at Flushing, and Is devoting his
energy TO aiding in the successful
prosecution of the war, does not bear
an envtable reputation for patriotism
In his own household. Mr.. Butler has
been writing for the Thrift and War
stamps campaign.
Mr.. Butler is the father Of twin
sons of tender age. Several nights
ago he returned home tired after a
days work for the Red Cross and
took his seat at the head of the table,
After they had finished their dinner.
the twins produced their Thrift stamps
and started to count them.
Dad, look at all the stamps l have"
said one of the youngsters. IL have
200. Look at brothers pile; he has
more than l."
Mr.. Butler nodded approvingly to
Mrs. Butler and they both smiled.
There was silence for q minute, then
n of the twins looked up and ex-
claimed; Dad, why don't you do some
thing patriotic?'
