JUST WHAT INTERESTED BILL
Loss of Cars and Freight Didn't Seem to Amount to Much to Him
 at the Moment.

T was riding on a freight trai~ through Kansas" Santa Fc oMci. relates. "I was up in the Cupola ol the caboose. Downstairs the conduc- tor and the rear brakeman watched carefully a pan of beans warming over on the old coal stove. They waited only the return of the head brakeman before putting away their luncheOns, which they were taking from their full dinner pails. The pan or beans was q partnership dish. I could see the head brakeman coming down the train from the engine. Sud- denly there was q jerk, shock, and l saw freight cars begin to pitch from the track and pile up in heaps. had a nasty vision of the head brakeman sailing through the air and landing in cornfeld, clear of the right of way.
 "'Bilfs killed I shouted as clutched wildly to retain my seat He's been thrown clear over into the field
 "As the caboose finally came to a standstill, about the only car left on the track, the conductor and the rear brakeman rushed forward to gather up the remains of Bill But as they ran to him 'Bill' picked himself up in a dazed sort of way and was brush ing the dirt from his eyes and his clothes when they reached him.
 "There was at least $75,000 worth of cars and freight piled up there in that wreck, probably $10O,000-a total loss. But the question 'Bin' asked as his rescuers reached him was:
 "Boys, how's them beans back thereT"

How Rome Eneouraqed Birth Rate

To encourage the birth rate the Ro- mans made use of the age-long fight Of women with property for the power to control it. This power that it took the women of England and America living under the English common law 2,5O0 years longer to achieve was granted by Numa Pompilius, in 715 B. O., to women who were mothers of three children, who were privileged to have free administration of their own affairs without guardian or tutor" To the women who had inherited large fortunes this must have been an ex- ceedingly effective inducement to the rearing of large families, and an ex- cellent counteraction to the various in- fuences in Roman life which would tend to keep the birth rate down. This is probably one of the few isolated ex- amples where militaristic ideals work ed for the benefit of women.

American Girls Who Marry Young.

The census bureau finds that hun dreds of American girls in every twelve months are married at fifteen. Thou sands annually are married at sixteen. Out of every 10s women n this coun- try eleven have married befo.e pass ing nineteen. In New England (ac- cording to the census data) only one proposal before she is twenty. In the south. the desirable man offers himself to one out of five or one out of six girls of nineteen or under. It is shown by the census that young womans chance of offers is decidedly better in rural community than anywhere else.

WASHINGTON, September 2S.-Pres!
Wilson is believed TO have opened a
new era in world affairs and the deal
ing OF nations with one another liz his
historic speech in New York last night
Al the Capital to-day the President
address was proclaimed as the strong
est and most :orceful utterance he has
ever made and one destined TO make
future war impossible. Great stats
faction was eXpresH-- at the manner
In which the President hopes to achieve
the aims of the war--a peoples war
as he said--by lighting for them.
The PreSident il is asserted sounded
the death knell of old time diplomacy
and ushered into being an almost
Ctopian idea OF how nations should
regulate their affairs and safeguard
the cause of humanIry
His words were a plain call to al
lied statesmen to lay their cards on The

Whenever he found a remedy that over

in the newspapers and told where It
could be bought at 4 small price. He
did not follow the usual custom OF
keeping the ingredients secret. so that
thelrich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
Of each root and herb he used And
SO to-day the names OF DR.. Pierce and
his medicines are widely known, and
they stand for better health and better
cit!ze nship.
One OF this great physician's most
successful remedies Is known as Doctor
Picrce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little, suEar-coated pills. composed Of

things that Nature grows in the

by Harrisonburg to 9, errors OF the
players being responsible for the de-
feat. CARRIER pitched splendid game
for Harrisouburg, striking out ten

out three less. Errors at critical
stages gave the Shenandoah lads the
game, although they got but five safe
hits off CARRIER, while the Harrison

The afternoon game with Woodstock
High School came Harrisonburgward
with the score OF 7 to 5. Sullivan

team was biting Woodstock for a
total of nine safeties.
