HAS HELPING HAND FOR ALL
Red Cross Most Appropriately Desig-
mated as the "Greatest Mother
in the World"

Stretching forth her hands to all In
need; to Jew or Gentle, black or
white, knowing no favorite, yet favor
ing all.
Ready and eager to comfort at
time when comfort is most needed;
helping the little home that's crushed
beneath an iron hand by showing
mercy in healthy, human way; re-
building it, in fact. with stone on
stone; replenishing empty bins and
empty cupboards; bringing warmth to
hearts and hearths too long neglected.
Seeing all things with a mothers
sixth sense that's blind to jealousy and
meanness; seeing men In their true
light, as naughty Misunderstanding
biting, biter-but with hidden side
that's quickest touched by mercy.
Reaching out her hands across the sea
to No Mans Land; to cheer with
warmer comforts thousands who must
stand and wait In stenched and crawl
ing holes and water-soaked entrench-
ments where cold and wet bite deeper,
so they write, than Boche steel or lead.
She's warming thousands, feeding,
healing thousands from her store; the
greatest mother in the world-the Red
Cross.-Warren Anderson in Pack.

LET WORK ExTINGUIsH GRIEF
Best of All Antidotes for Excessive
Sorrow Over Parting From Those
Who Go Forth to Fight

Grief is an attitude of mind. With
some people it is habit.
In sense we owe it, as a sort Of
deferential token of our love and es-
teen, to manifest reasonable amount
of grief for those whom duty has
called to danger and suffering.
Everybody knows, however, that the
intensity and duration of the visible
manifestation of grief are seldom In
direct proportion to the sincerity OF
our love and esteem.
1t is hard to be obliged to yield man
or boy we love to become cannon fod-
der for the Hun. 1t is cause for
intense sorrow, but 1t is no cause or
excuse for insensibility to our own
immediate duty toward that man or
boy.
1t is our battle they are fighting.
and they cannot shoot nor eat our
tears.
They say it is the anguish Of wait
ing that makes it so hard on the wom-
en-. If that is the cause Of our grief,
we have an easy sOlutiOn-juSt stop
waiting and get busy. There is plenty
to do.
To have something before you, clear
ly seen, which you know you must do.
and can do, and will spend your ut
most strength and perhaps life in do
ing, that is one form at least of very
high happiness, and one that appeals
the facts prove it-not only to saints
and heroes, but to average men.
And those who can love enough and
are strong enough in heart, will find
opportunity for the same happiness,
that same exhilaration in doing their
part, here at home.
This is the real triumph, the great
victory which must be won over
there, if any permanent good is to
come of this great tragedy.-The Moth
er's Magazine.

Keeps Bride on the
lump.

Hampstead, L. I.-Almost equaling
LOngfellOw's tale of "Evangeline," are
the strange experiences of Mrs. Will
liam Whaling, wife of Captain Whal-
ing, formerly a cavalry officer. After
nearly three years of travelling she
finally met her husband at Camp Mills
recently.
About three years ago, soon after
their wedding, Captain Whaling was
transferred from the Pacific coast to
the Philippine islands. He left his
bride of three months with the idea
of having her follow by later steam
ship after he had obtained suitable
quarters. Delays followed, and it was
some months before Mrs. Whaling left
to join him.
Two weeks before the time the
steamship on which she was travelling
was due in the Philippines, Captain
Whaling was ordered back to the
states. Unknown to each other their
ships passed in the middle of the Pa
cific, and Mrs. Whaling on her arrival
at Manila found that her husband had
been ordered back to America.
Cable messages from him caused
her to return Immediately. On reach
ing San Francisco she learned that her
husband had been transferred to one
Of the forts In the extreme northern
section of Alaska.
Again she started. When she
reached the Yukon disappointment
again followed, her husband having
been ordered back to the states to join

General Pershing into Mexico. Mean
time the Yukon was frozen and weeks
elapsed before navigation was re-
sumed. The return trip was made by
slow stages, and Mrs. Whaling finally
reached Ell Paso, Tex, where a COM
munication from her husband informed
her that he had passed the border and
would be in Mexico for some time.
Mrs. Whaling waited In Texas some
weeks, expecting the return of her hus-
band, only to be again disappointed by
learning that months would elapse be-
fore the return of the American forces.
When Captain Whaling's regiment
finally reached its Ohio camp Mrs.
Whaling, who had been with her rela-
tives In Kansas City, started for Ohio.
To her CONSERVATION she learned that
two hours before her husband had left
for Long Island. She then came east

location Of her husbands regiment at
Camp Mills when she met an army Of
