THE GUIDE.

Uncle Sam to Rulers of Germany.
We tried to be neutral,
But you would not have it so.
You ravished your neighbors.
, You outraged humanity.
And failing to dominate us,
You reviled US.
You ordered us from the free seas.
You ambushed us on their highways.
You waylaid us in the night.
You killed our helpless people.
You drowned our women and chill
Ndren.
You destroyed our property.
You violated our rights.
You insulted our sovereignty.
You dishonored our flag.
You sneered at our protests.
You scorned our good will.
You fouted our friendship.
You Knocked us as money chang
iers."
You derided our courage.
You jeered at our army.
You scoffed at our means of defense.
You defied our offensive power.
You goaded US into war-and NOW,
You shall answer to 90 million men,
Placed at my command by Congress,
To make the world safe for Ameri-
cans
And other peace4loving people.
Civilization will subdue and disarm
you.
Your vast machinery for torturing
humanity,
Through your lust for pillage and
conquest,
Shall be dismantled. You shall be
made
Safe to live among law-abiding ma
tions.
Take Notice!
Uncle Sam.

Washington Flag Etiquette.

The United States flag always is
hoisted over the senate or house of
representatives when in session. The
flag floats from tie flagstaff of the
White House while the president is in
Washington, and its absence indicates
the absence of the president from the
capital. 1t is displayed over the depart
ment buildings in Washington from 8
O'Clock a. m. to 4:30 p. IN. every week
day.

When Gas Pressure Was Low.

Mr.. J. returned home recently to
find his wife smiling helplessly, while
a roomful of persons, who announced
themselves as Cousin So-and-So, and
her children, took possession of the
house. The children's search of the
kitchen had disclosed untold goodies,
and with their hands and mouths full,
their smiles proclaimed their capacity
as unlimited. Their mother, blissfully
ignoring their behavior, was dwelling
on the great cost of living in the coun-
try as compared to the city.
ITO think" she exclaimed breath
lessly, "that you only pay 80 cents for
a thousand feet for gas. Why"
AS Mr.. J. took her husband aside to
consult him on whether to order an
elephant Dr. a whale, he announced
heartily: =
That's a good idea. It's cheap and
it is filling. Wen be sports and give
them all they want"
"Give them what, John?' she asked.
"Why gas" he replied promptly.

Glass Blowing an Ancient Art.

The art of glass blowing is also very
ancient and had an existence probably
1000 years before Christ. The art of
blowing is plainly depicted upon the
tumuli Of Mastaba of lib at Memphis,
and these tombs were built more than
5000 years ago. In the picture upon
them the blower with tube in mouth,
just the same as the present day, is
seen squatted before his furnace, and
from the detail and perfection of
knowledge of the art evidenced in the
ancient pictures it is readily seen that
glass blowing was no new thing with
the people of that time and region.
The glass blower of that day made
vases, beads, ornaments and bottles.

Ralph Cooke started from his board
1ng house with a self-satisfied smile IN
mis- face, for the day was the one on
which he was to have an opportunity
ITO make a good resolution, and If there
was n thing Ralph enjoyed more
than making a resolution it vas keep
ing one. He would show them at the
bank that public opinion could not
down his convictions. They had laugh
ed at him when he had condemned
tag days as fruitless nuisances, and
had dared him to let one pass without
being tagged. The dare had made him
resolve never to buy another tag; not
mated in return for the little bits of
cardboard, but it was the principle Of

He could not find any of the others
to agree with him, but this only
strengthened him in his resolve to re-
fuse tags from that day on.
He had walked well into the heart

New YOrk.-There is some exceed
ingly good feature about the French
gowns hat are beginning to arrive in
America, which will not cause disap-
proval over here. That is the striking
similarity between afternoon and eve
ming costumery, according to a fashion
writer.
1t was once said, in a slightly CON-
temptuOuS manner, that in certain Sec
lions of this country the women wore
guimpes in their ball gowns for after
loon occasions and that no one was
capable of such an economical combi-
nation but the American woman, or at
least, no other woman who moved in
fashionable circles.
1t has long been the opinion of the
French, whenever they were sufficient
ly lenient to be interested in the Amer
lean type of dressing, that we never
knew the exact shade of difference
that existed between an afternoon
gown and all other kinds of gowns.
The French women have often said,
in their polite manner, that they could
not understand why the American was
lacking in that finer feeling which au-
tomatically governs the choice of
clothes.
Did Not Always Change.
Now, whether or not the American
lacked the finer feeling or whether she
was conscious that custom produced
fashions, she continued to dress at ten
O'clock in the morning in the clothes
that she would wear until seven o'clock
in the evening. In truth, she did not
always change for dinner or the thea
ter. She went on through the entire
routine of the day with it's diversified
interests, it's business appointments, it's
marketing, shopping and restaurant
lunching, it's afternoon teas, weddings,
card parties, home dinners and the
play in q coat and skirt that should
only be worn, as the French put it, in a
public mob.
The American M has always
held up to herself, and very earnestly,
that she was too busy a woman to
change her clothes several times dur
ing the day. Let the women of the

his W search for Maggie-Rose

After Bob reached home that night
he looked up all the Flynns in the de

thought most likely to be related In
some manner to Maggie-Rose. Next
day he tried calling them up from a.

asking casually for Maggie-Rose, and
In each case being misunderstood, ma-
