dered why I never had mother, and
here I gotta get pinched by uniform
ed bull to find out I really got one.",
John r. Burke, sailor on the q. s.
s. Seattle, read Of the youngsters ar
rest and told his mother, Mrs. Joseph
Inc Reid Of Brooklyn, the name was
the same as that of the seven-months-
old child that was kidnapped from her,
and so she sent the sailor boy post
haste over to the Tombs.
II think I'm talking to my brother"
he said to the youthful prisoner, who
came toward him from the barred
gate.
'Is dat SO? I ain't got no brother.
I ain't got anybody I know Of" was
the reply Of George. But the sailor
asked him If he had scar on his side,
and, brushing back his touseled black
hair, another scar was revealed, and
then there was no question about the
Identity Of the prisoner.
"Say, have got mother?" was the
first question the lad popped at him.
And when told that not only had he q
mother, but good one, who has been
waiting 16 long years to see him, the
kid nearly wept for JOY. He has a
sister, too.
Snow I'm happy" he said.

SOMETHING ELSE" IN LIFE
Muci, or Little May BE Made Of t.
Observes Writer In Youths \
Companion.

In reply to the question, "Wfat
is a woman of leisure| a speaker at
woman's conference amused her
audience by giving some definitions
that she had gathered at a luncheon
a short time before, observes the
Youths Companion. Here are some OF
the answers she received:
8 "A weman Of leisure is any woman
who hasn't five children"
"A woman who has time to play
bridge daytimes."
'There is none; she is extinct, like
the dodo."
'T'he woman who has time to be
always telling you how busy she is"
'The woman who is on ten boards,
and equally useless on all."'
"The only one know is bedridden."
: 'arhe busiest woman in town, who
always finds time to do one thing
more and do 1t graciously."
It may be that the woman of leisure
has not even the scientific security
that belongs to the dodo, which the
dictionary assures us, is but recently
extinct" Research into the history Of
woman through the ages may, in
deed, show that the woman of leisure
never was; that she is only a myth
haunting, wistful, alluring.
To daughter who asked what is
leisure, a mother answered.: "rt is the
spare time that womaa fas my dear,
in which she does something else."
That something else" has to be
dealt with in nearly every life. What
is the one thing more that, by hook or
by crook, each of us manages to crowd
upon the margin Of our programs ?
The latest play or novel or crochet
stitch? The latest "ism" of philosophy
or art or religion? The newest ex-
pertinent in civics or education? Or
is it, by chance, a little space for
friendly old time-hospitality, for study
undertaken for the sheer joy Of learn.
ing, for neighborliness, for home times
with your own family? Is It not pos
sible, indeed, that these things are
the real business of life. and the fads
but the occasional something else"

brilliant uniforms, secured loans from
wealthy men and contracted bills at
the Waldorf-Astoria and other famous

dollars. His success at issuing bogus
letters, decorated with the coats Of
arms of imaginary estates in France

Americans in the metropolis, but en-

In this cause it appears by affi-
davit that the defendant, Mrs. J. W.
Waddle, is justly indebted to the
plaintiff, and is a nonresident of the
state, so that the ordinary process
of law cannot be served on her, and
an original attachment having been
levied on her property and returned
to me, it is therefore ordered that
publication be made in the Greene
vile Sun, newspaper published in
the town of Greeneville, Tenn, for
four consecutive weeks, commanding
the said Mrs. J. W. Waddle to appear
before me on the SOth day of Au-
gust, 1918, at my office in Greene

To Tired Germany

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 8.-The Ger
mans are not likely to remain on the
defensive long, according to Gen.
Won Ardenne, the military critic Of
the Berlin Tageblatt.
ut is clear that the defensive bat
tie fought by our retreating troops
viii not continue indefinitely" says
Won Ardenne. "The German often
sive has suffered an unpleasant in
terruption, but it viii certainly re-
vive, and what will contribute to its
revival is the fact that the armies
between Aisne and the Marne were
able to carry out their operations
with their own reserves without being
obliged to draw upon other reserves,
the unrestricted possession of which
secures the initiative to the German
supreme command"
Capt. Won Salzmann, in the Vos-
sische zeitung of Berlin, takes the
view that German operations south
Of the Aisne are approaching ter
mination and the great advance upon
the Marine has come definitely to an
end. He pictures the German forces
as retiring into stronghold whose
gates are slowly closing.
The writer pays a high tribute to
Gen. Ludendorff for the latter's
frank admission that German opera
tons have not gone so satisfactorily
as had been hoped This he regards
as sign Of high confidence on the
part of the supreme command.
"There was no talk of victories
that were not won," he says, and
asks the German public to be proud
Of retreat during which the Ger
man troops repeatedly turned upon
their pursuers, inficting heavy cas-
ualties. This retirement, he says,
will be an example as a strategic re-
treat for all times.

RED CROSS RENEWAL
AND MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Sunday, August 18th. Meetings
at 2:SO p. m.
Cooke county speakers and work
ers are coming, 100 strong, to assist
in the great work. They will arrive
at the courthouse at II a. m. and be
met by our citizens and entertained
for dinner, and return to the court
house at l p. m, and be assigned for
speaking engagements.
An interesting program has been
arranged for night meeting in the
courthouse at p. M, and it is hoped
that each and every auxiliary in the
county will have representatives at
this meeting.
While this is renewal drive, there
should be some new members gained
at every point.
The president of each auxiliary is
expected to make the report to the
night meeting or designate some one
to represent the auxiliary, but the
secretary Of each auxiliary is re-
quested to make the financial report
at some other time and not bring
the money taken in to this night
meeting.
Some Of the auxiliaries have no
members due for renewal" and are
therefore not on the list for speak
ing engagements, but we hope that
each auxiliary will ask its members
to attend the closest meeting to them
and assist in the work. All new or
renewal members can be listed with
any auxiliary in the county, no mat
ter where they attend.
