THE JUNIOR STORY.

One day Pauline and Elizabeth
ran into the room in which their
mother sat knitting for the Red
Cross.
Pauline had the Junior Palladium
in her hand. She said to her moth
er, "Oh, mother! here is a story in
the Junior that Grace has written.
May Elizabeth and write one
too?" She read the following story
to her mother.
"The Poor Girl"
Once upon time there was a
poor girl whose name was Mary.
She had no father or mother. She
went to the woods and as it was
winter, she soon became cold. She
began to cry and said, II wish that
| could find house." Before long
she came to one in the woods She
went in and lived happy ever after.
Grace Porter.
Their mother said, THAT is
nice story. Both of you write one
and I'll send them in for you"
The girls got paper and pencil
and made up story They took
it to their mother and Elizabeth
said, Mother, will read you the
story" This is what she read.
"A Bad Dog"

home from school, a dog came out
On the sidewalk. 1t barked and
ran after us. We ran and got home

Pauline and Elizabeth Brown.
Their mother said, We'll 90 and
put it in an envelope and take it to
the postoffice on the way down
town." They did as she told them
to.
When Aunt Molly received the
story and read it over she said,
This is such nice story that I
will publish 1t this week"
That week when Pauline ald

A RAM p.

A man came to our house one
Sunday morning He asked Tor
something to eat and we gave him
some coffee and some bread and po-
tatoes. He was very grateful, and
it was showing outside. My father
asked him if he was married and
where he had come from. he SAID
he would tell us.
He came from Cleveland, Ohio.
His wife and two children had died
in a fire. This had happened two
wears before. Just after their
death he had lost his position and
could not find another, so he had
started to 60 from Cleveland to an
other city nearby. AS he stepped
off the train he slipped and fell.
After three months in the hospital
he became worse and had to have
an operation performed. This kept
him in the hospital until he would
be strong enough to stand the oper-
alton. The operation was per-
formed and he just managed to get
through. When he emerged from
the hospital, he was penniless and
out of work. This was not a bright
prospect, but facing the storm, he
started out to find job. He had
at last succeeded, but had not been
at work more than six months
when he was succeeded by another
man VINO was more experienced.
From there he had come to Rich
mond, and had just arrived and
having spent all his money for car
fare had had to start a house to
house canvass. We heard later
that he had succeeded in finding a
steady job.

The Lost Address

Mary Warren lived in a small
town in Pennsylvania. Her father
had died when she was very small,
so she remembered him very faint
ly. Mrs, Warren taught Mary until
she was twelve. Mary had started
to the public school, but Mrs. War
rem had been SO lonely without her
that she decided TO teach her her
self.
Now, however, she realized 1t
was time to send her to school,
where she could meet other girls.
When Mrs. Warren was Mary's age
she had gone to Pinewood Hall.
and she wanted Mary also to 60
there.
Since Mrs. Warren was unable to
go with her daughter, she sent her
as far as Louisville with a neighbor,
Mrs. King Full instructions were
given to Mrs. King, at SO South
Sixth street Mary was to be left
with Miss Alice Ellsworth, her
aunt.
Mrs. King did not write the ad
dress down but said she was sure
she would remember it.
They had a very pleasant jour
hey. Presently they arrived at
Louisville, where they took taxi.
At last they arrived at their des-
ination, a very handsome, impos-
ng structure of brown stone Mrs.
King told the taxi driver to wait
She took Mary by the hand, walk
I'd up the steps, and rang the bell.
Their ring was answered by
outler in splendid livery. Mrs. King
n awed tones asked If Miss Ellis
worth lived there The butler look
I'd surprised and said, mo, not that
know of, and have been here for
fifteen years" After which he
closed the door, and Mary and Mrs.
King looked at one another in great
perplexity.
Mrs. King then went down to the
waiting taxi and asked what ad-
dress she had given. The driver
promptly replied. '36 North Sixth
street." Mrs. King realized her
mistake She gave the right ad-
dress. In a few minutes they were
safely at the home of Mary's aunt.
Mary stayed with her aunt that
night and the next day she resumed
her journey to Pinewood Hall.

Why We Should
Win This War

In treating this subject. it is my
intention to discuss it mainly from
the viewpoint of the United States.
Not that it is of less importance for
France or England or any other of
our Allies to win the war, but be-
cause feel more capable of discus
sing the question from this point of
view.
There are many reasons why we
should win this war, in fact, they
are almost too numerous to men
ton However, there are three or
four outstanding reasons that
should be mentioned. In the first
place we should win this war for
the same reason that all wars,
we enter, should be won, that is,
in order to uphold our honor as a
nation and to SHOW the world that
we are capable of completing any
project that we undertake to ac-
cOmplish. Any nation that declares
war and then goes on discussing
whether it ought to have declared
war or not, earns the contempt OF
mankind and the certainty of hui
initiating defeat and subsection to
foreign control.
Furthermore, in discussing the
question of why we should win the
war, we should consider the kind
of enemies we are fighting. Every
one knows of the many atrocities
committed by our enemies, both In
France and in Belgium, beginning
with the cruel invasion and con-
tinuing to the present time. Are
these not sufficient reason to make
US want to win the war? Is the
numbering of innocent women and
children not enough reason why we
should win this war and thereby
punish the offenders? 1t most as
suredly is and all true blooded
Americans should feel their blood
boil with revenge at the thought OF
these outrages.
There are also the injustices
which were committed upon our
own people, such as the sinking OF
the Lusltania and the many other
American ships that were sunk
with American lives aboard. These
were reasons why we entered the
war and therefore reasons why we
should win the war.
The most important reason yet
remains. We should win this war
in order to make the world safe
for democracy" and thereby abol-
ish autocracy, the evil that has
been a blight to civilization for
ages.

Just as they thought to make the
charge to go over the top, the enc
my fired a large gun, which moved
down a great number of our brave
boys, and among those who fell was
the general Just as he was dying
he handed the sword to Ned and
said, Frame, lead the comrades
on. l can go no further" With
no time to waste, Ned lead the boys
right up in front, and ordered
them to fire, and with a great strug-
gle, and after many long hours our
boys were victorious, and all be-
cause OF Ned's presence of mind.
During the long struggle, Ned
was wounded, and taken to the hos
pital and while he was there he be-
came acquainted with a nurse and
became attached to her. So when
Ned returned home after the war
was over and was greeted by his
old home town people, beautiful
French nurse, who was Mrs. Ned

THE GOLDEN RING.

Once upon time there was a
new pupil in school whose name
was Lucille. One day the teacher
told a girl to 60 up town for her.
The girls name was Ruth. AS she
was going out she met Lucille and
asked her to go along. Lucille de-
cided to go. When they reached
the store, Lucille saw golden ring.
She showed it to Ruth and she
took it.
When Ruth reached home she
was very sick. She went to bed
and during the night she awoke
and heard the clock tick. To her it
seemed to say, What about the
ring?" What about the ring%'
When morning came she went to
Lucille and said, Here is your
ring"
Lucille said, That is not my
ring" When they got in school
the teacher settled it. They made
up and were good friends ever
after.

For His Country.

We'll, Dad" said Ned, as he and
his father were sitting in the living
room of the Frame mansion, en-
joying a good smoke, II shall stay
home from the club with you this
evening and keep you company,
since mother is up at the Red Cross
rooms sewing"
Yes, my son." answered his faith
er, Il wish that you would, as !
have something that would like to
talk to you about this evening.
Have you seen tonight's paper yet,
Ned?'
NO" said Ned, rather uncon-
cerned. What about it."
wei, my boy, If you will notice
the Germans are still gaining fast
on the western front, and the coun-
try is making another call for men.
Now Ned, you have been sowing
wild oats rather freely for some
time and nothing would make me
any more proud Of you than to see
you join the colors. Because it will
only be a course of few weeks
until you will be drafted anyway,
my boy"
Ned sat and gazed out of the
window feeling little ashamed,
but nevertheless, he took no heed
TO what his father said.
Weeks passed, but Ned still went
to the club every night. Even
though several Of the boys from
the club had already gone and Ned
had even attended the spreads
given for them, he never took any
heed to what his father had said.
One bot afternoon in the middle
of June there could be heard the
newsboys calling, Exert! Extra!"
Ned purchased one and to his great
surprise and sorrow, he read these
lines:
IAN American Army Over the
Top"
-Four Home Town Boys Killed
AS Ned read further, he recog-
nized that two Of the boys were
his most intimate friends. This in
cident set Ned to thinking and he
finally decided that if those boys
gave up their high-fying lives. and
were true blue enough to join the
army and even give up their lives,
that he would go join the colors
and make one more to fight for the
honor of the United States Of Amer
lea.
So Ned enlisted and passed the
examination. His father, though
feeling very badly to see his son
leave, admired him.
well, my boy, I am certainly
proud Of you now"
In about eight weeks from this
time, Ned was on his way across,
and in the course Of several days
he was somewhere In France"
In a few weeks Ned's folks re-
ceived word from him that he had
been made lieutenant.
One day the boys IN the regi-
ment with Ned got the news that
they were to go lover the top" ear
ly the next morning.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
oobaccos
And 1t Is interesting to know that ono
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved 1t In every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
In this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened 1t to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made II into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
The result has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product In
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting Is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor Is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example. ADV.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP-ROO1

Thousands upon thousands OF women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms Of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm.
