Enemy Agents.

The spy hunter in the New York district divides
the enemy agents into four cIasses-the propa-
gandists, the informants, the labor agtators and
the inCendiary bomb maker He says women
spies are the most dangerous of ALL
The spy hunter should be the American peo-
plea hundred million of them. To safeguard the
country it is necessary for every loyal citizen to be
on guard. A mere suspicion reported to the
authorities may avert a tragedy. Watch every
stranger until he proves himself.
German newspapers in America favorites
in the German propaganda race An innocent look
ing paragraph may we'll be loaded for enemy eyes
only. Then why permit continuance of these
publications in America?
The insolence of Won Bernstorf in advertising
the warning to Americans to sail on the Lusi-
tania is scarcely less insolent than the tone OF
some OF the German newspapers OF today.
The dsloyal labor agitator is a real trouble
maker, but the watchfulness of President Gompers
and his patriotic subordnates, backed by union
labor men, has to a great extent rendered futile
their Teuton agencies.

Jack Loudon visited this country, ten years
ago, and our best society, particularly our elite
of Philadelphia, wined and dined him and found
him to be a hearty good fellow with large
scholarly attainments. He now has the ticklish
job of trying not to be mauled and swallowed up
by the Prussian beast and the eyes of the world
are upon him.
Juliana is the o-year-old daughter of Queen

In THE CHEST UPSTAIRS.


By EDMUND VANCE COOKE.
There are days of labor and days of pride,
There are days to roam, there are days to ride
There are days for wandering far and wide
There are days as sweet baby's breath,
There are days gray the mask of death.
There days when the battle is fierce and long
There days when the soul must be firm ant
strong.
But once in while, I forsake my cares
And take day in which no one shares
Save the ghosts of days in the chest upstairs
AS slip in the key and lift the lid
To all other hands but mine forbid,
/ am lost in the land where Romance is hid.
There's squirt of ribbon, a Whit of lace,
And ghost of perfume which sautes my face
There's card brought home from by-gone
With one name filling it nearly all;
There's book of verses, and pansies pressed
To mark the thoughts which loved the best,
And here-lies my heart in the old, old chest
There's bridal veil and rose or two,
There's wedding ring and baby's shoe,
And a few little garments, old and new
There's tattered doll, mended part to part
And the wide crooked stitches prick my heart
There's story-book and l kiss the prints
Which the little, dead fingers made long since
O, my world is reduced to tears and prayers,
Yet | turn away from the chest upstairs
Feeling somehow, somewhere, somebody cares!

For Tolerance.

well-known suffragist wrote Senator Thomas
2oo-word letter branding United States Senators
who are opposed to granting suffrage to women
as "obstructionsts unworthy of their high office"
To this the Senator replied, "You don't say SOP
We are inclined to the belief that Senator
Thomas has the better of the argument. Every
United States Senator has an unquestioned right
to his opinion suffrage and if that opinion leads
him into the ranks of those opposing it, it is mani
testify improper to class him as an "obstructionist
unworthy of his high office"
The Washington Herald has been an open and
aboveboard advocate of extending the franchise
to women, and it believes that the ntemperate ut
terances OF women prominent in the militant move
ment has delayed action in the Senate.
The suffrage can be best served by being
tolerant of the opinions of others No good can
be done by branding Senators as unworthy" just
because they hold opposing views. We think they
are blind to the trend of the age-and we are not
sure that some Senators afraid of their own
records on the subject, and for that reason hesi-
tant about doing a right-about-face.

She was a little heroine by ma

occasions for courage. In the most
natural way in the world Shirley's
great romance came to her. The
Enchanted Barn seemed to her at
first only a welcome refuge, to tide
over a summers need, when her in
valid mother and the younger chill
dren sought escape from sitting
brick walls in a city back street.
But there was enchantment in
it-and the tangled thread of her
adventures was soon woven into a
web of gorgeous tapestry; here was
her knight. the generous young
owner: his father. a financial mag

glittering scheme of high-finance:
the government contract whose be-
trayal meant disaster: the sudden
thrusting upon Shirley of response

after 1869, with a resume Of condi-

This volume was written only after

There has been in the past much
speculation as to exactly what hap
pened after January, 1869. after Louis
