TWO LETTERS
THE KAISER'S LETTER

To Frau Meter who has lost
nine sons in the present war.
His Majesty the Kaiser hears
that you have sacrificed nine sons
in defense of the Fatherland in
the present war. His Majesty is
immensely gratified at the fact,
and in recognition is pleased to
send you his photograph, with
frame and autograph signature. y
LINCOLN'S LETTER
To Mrs. Bixby who lost five
sons in the war of the Rebellion.
Dear Madam have been
shown in the files of the War De-
partment statement of the Ad-
ant.General of Massachusetts
that you are the mother of five
sons who have died gloriously on
the field of battle. | feel how
weak and fruitless must be any
words of mine which should at
tempt to beguile you from the
grief of a loss so overwhelming,
But | cannot refrain from ten
dering to you the consolation
that may be found in the thanks
of the Republic they died to save
| pray that our Heavenly Fathel
may assuage the anguish of you
bereavement and leave you onl!
the cherished memory Of tn,
loved and lost, and the solemn
pride that must be yours to hav
laid so costly a sacrifice upon tn
alter of freedom"
ABRAHAM LINCOLN"

The acquired newspapers want
to make you believe that when
you have a big job on your hands,
the way to succeed is to get a
bunch of helpers who profess to
be with you on the job, but are
dead against you personally.

Africa Is Interested in War;
Receives tbe News Every Day

The war has from the first been
brought right home to Africa. The
four German colonies over which the
war extended, have an area more than
four times as great as Germany; and
there has been long and hard fighting
in all Of them except Togo. Outside
and within these areas of actual war
fare live thousands Of whites who are
intensely interested in the European
struggle. Many Of these whites, even
in the depths of Africa, are receiving
the essence Of the news every day.
Even the Sahara desert is now partly
belted by a telegraphic line, a French
enterprise, with wireless extension in
Timbuktu. Thus this once mysterious
city Of the Sudan Is now in touch with
the great events of the day. The Belgian
Congo Is efficiently served by the
French cable to Libreville, and the
land line to Stanley Pool, where navi-
cation Of the upper Congo begins. The
news is then wired up the Congo to the
mouth of the Congo, and then by wire
less to Stanley Falls, 7SO miles above
the Kasai.

Girls Needed on the French
Farms, Asserts War Worker

One of the objects of Miss Anne Nor
gan's recent return to America from
France, where she has been aiding in
restoring communities devastated by
German invaders, is to obtain for
France large number of girls to work
on farms.
II would like it to be known to
American girls on farms that we need
them in France more than all other
girls" Miss Morgan said.
"We don't want theorists but would
like to get women from the West
women who have worked on the farm
and don't mind doing field work."
Miss Morgan, sister Of J. p. Morgan
and treasurer of the American Fund
for French Wounded; said she and her
associates in France, American women,
had placed $500 acres under cultiva-
tion and had established dairy with
soldiers to milk the cows.

HER HEAVEN.

I shall be young again-and pretty
enough
To make the saints smile at me as pass
With swift white feet across the heaven
ly grass.
shall be gay and careless, and my heart
Forever like some hidden bird shall sing
OF some approaching and most lovely
thing.
Surely, a thought absurd, unorthodox,
To enter through an Office door, or come
Grotesquely as the subway crowds rush
home.
There is mirror in my lodging house
Stained here and there with lines like
slanting rain,
That shows q woman neat and tired and
plain.
But in that mirror that no other sees
I watch sometimes the girl in Paradise
Pretty-and young-with laughter In her
eyes. i

The Opium Habit.

There are three different forms Of
taking opium. Some people, for ex-
ample, the Turks, eat it; others, like
the Chinese, smoke 1t, while the inhab-
itants Of more civilized countries usual
ly drink 1t as laudanum. The drug is
obtained from the unripe fruit of the
common white poppy. IncisiOns are
made in the heads Of this plant, from
which a creamy juice exudes, harden
ing on it's exposure to the air. This
is scraped off and made up into small
cakes, in which form 1t is sold. The
confirmed opium eater or smoker re-
duces himself to an indescribably
wretched state Of mind and body, and
very seldom lives to be forty If the
practice has been acquired ut an early
period In life.

Happy Youth.

It is so easy to say the word that
checks laughter; to scowl at the exu-
berance that bubbles over in foolish
girl and boy jests. 1t Is difficult for us
of an older generation to remember
how, when we were young, we loved
to laugh and sing and dance. and make
merry. Youth is so sensitive and 1t is
so easy to spoil an evening with just
q glance or an impatient word. When
one comes In, glowing from a wonder
full evening a querulous voice or a
faultfinding word is like sticking a pin
into a gay balloon. Sympathy is SO
much better. Even If youth is head
strong the faultfinding does not do very
much good, but often harm. But SYM
pathy gains confidence, and confidence
between the young and the old Is a
great safeguard for youth and well
worth cultivating.
