and loyal subjects and eager to
spill their blood and pull your
chestnuts, yours and mine; the
spell has been perfect-you cast
your ambitious eyes toward the
Mediterranean, Egypt, India and
the Dardanelles and you began
your great railway to Bagdad, but
the ambitious archduke and his

into the assassination of the duke

you set sails for the fjords of Nor

an alibi. How cleverly done, so
much like your noble grandfather
who also secured an assassin to
remove old King Frederick of Dem
mark, and later robbed that coun-
try of two provinces that gave Ger
many an opportunity to become a
naval power. Murder is dirty
work, but 1t takes a Hohenzollern
to make away and get by.
Your opportunity was at hand;
you set the world on fire and bells
of hell were ringing; your rape on
Belgium caused much Joy. 1t was
the beginning Of the foundation of
a perfect hell on earth; the de-
structiOn of noble cathedrals and
other infinite works of art was
hailed with JOY in the internal re-
gions.
You made war on friends and
foe alike and the murder of civil
ians showed my teachings had
borne fruit. Your treachery TO-
ward neutral nations fastened a
universal upheaval, the thing I
most desired. Your undersea
warfare is a master stroke; from
the smallest mackerel pot to the
great Lusitania you show no IA
vorites; as a war lord you stand
supreme, for you have no mercy;
you have no consideration for the

breast as they both go down into

his ugly little soul that boy had
determined that l should never

eff you will return that card

said, thinking to myself that
would not allow him to keep the
card so that he would be able to
say when I returned that he had
presented the card to Mr.. -,
and that he was busy and could
not see me, or some other ex-
cuse.
Just then the buzzer whirred
and the boy went into an inner
room, taking my card with him. In
a few moments he came out and
said, You may go right in"
The inner office l entered was
furnished very handsomely. At a
desk near a window sat a man,
probably IS years old. He had a
big overhanging jaw, small, shrewd
eyes. a shock of white hair and a
mouth that was shut so tight that
only thin straight line of pale
color, a shade deeper than his
apoplectic looking face, visible.
He looked up inquiringly as !

his chair. Little book, l think
there is nothing in this world so
disagreeable as a man who has lost
his interest in everything in life
except his business and himself.

about your son."
Il do not wish to hear anything
about my son, especially from good
looking women whom l do not
know"
His reference to me as a good
looking woman was not a compli-
ment but an insult, and could
feel my face flush at the thought
of blackmail his speech implied.
However, / walked deliberately
over to that nasty old man and
said, distinctly and slowly 81 don't
think you understood my name,
Mr.. -. I am Mrs. Waverly,
wife of Richard Waverly Of the
Selwin Book concern. l think our
business is quite as we'll known as

DEATH"
The old man had risen from his
chair as tho to dismiss me, saying
he wanted to hear nothing of his
son. But he sat down again when
II spoke of his boy being so near
death and 1 took a chair near his
desk without any further cere-
mony.
Your boy is dying, Mr.. -,
and he must go to a warmer eli
mate at once. He tells me that he

The expression on the old mans
face was study. / could see he
was trying to puzzle out just how
to handle me. 1t seemed to me
that he was suspicious of me one
moment, contemptuous the next
and perhaps not altogether dis
gusted with me the third.

Take when bilious, head
achy, for colds, bad
breath, sour stomach.

Instead of nasty, harsh pills,
salts, castor oil or dangerous cal
omel, why don't you keep Cas-
carets handy in your home? Cas-
carets act on the liver and thirty
feet Of bowels SO gently you don't
realize you have taken a cathartic,
but they act thoroly and can be
depended upon when a good liver
and howell cleanser is necessary
they move the bile and poison
from the bowels without gripping
and sweeten the stomach. You eat
one or two at night like candy
and you wake up feeling fine, the
headache, biliousness, bad breath,
coated tongue, sour stomach, con-
stipation, or bad cold disappears.
Mothers should give cross, sick,
feverish or bilious children a
whole Cascaret any time-they
are harmless and safe for the IT,
tic folks.

The Pacific Northwest Tourist association in

east what fine country the Northwest is to spend

ness men needed relaxation as much as they DO
now" and that Florida Colorado and California

they ever had.
ssThe railroad situation will clear up in little

thousands of tourists coming this way" the letter
says.
Well, folks, in normal times The Times is as
strong for tourist business as anybody Indeed The
Times submitted to the association publicity plan
to bring tourists to the Northwest.
But this is not a normal time. The railroad situa-

This much is certain; railroads given over to tour

tons and supplies.
We are engaged in the business of war, and in
our opinion every other interes-even the interest
of making money-nust be subordinated to it.
The tired business man must find relaxation with

Editorial Talent

Blessed the lot of the German editor! The Berlin
government tells him what not to print, which, we
believe lifts great load. Then it tells him what to
print, where the emphasis, the nice little head
letters, commas, semi-colons and such are to be
put in, and when to be conciiatory, or dignified
critic, or just natural liar.
Then, if, after all this instruction. the editor
makes slip, government simply goes out on the
street and suppresses his circulation-no hunting
the editor with hickory club, no libel suits,
sanctum troubles whatever.
A reliable office boy and conscientious govern
ment censor! What does the German editor care
about heaven and the hereafter?

In such life and environment, Dave born

Today, there is no little corner in Petrograd

Dear Miss Grey: Our class
was requested to find the ten
most historical dates begin
ming with the Revolutionary
war, ITS, up to the end of the
Civil war, 1865. We would be
very pleased if you could assist
us in finding them.
A PUPIL.
What good do you suppose it
would do YOU for me to look the
dates up for you? What's the
matter with airing your own brain
a little once in awhile? 1t won't
do any serious damage, l assure
you. -
When I attended school it
wasn't the style, when the teacher
gave us a lesson to get, to pass the
buck on to someone else. That's
the reason the boys and girls who
slip thru school copy-cat fashion
are failures when they enter the
school of life. The problems there
are real, and the solution lies only
within themselves.
If you will look up the dates
yourself, you will be more apt to
remember them, and il you don't
intend to remember them, why
bother about them at all?
Dear Miss Grey: am II
years old and keeping company
mothers permission to do so.
/ have asked this young man
not to publish the fact that we
are going together, because l
am young and l do not want ev-
eryone to know about 1t. But
you know a young man of %
is not ashamed to say he has a
sweetheart because he is old
enough. So he went ahead and
told great many friends, and
now everyone l meet speaks of
, my engagement" And because
of my embarrassment l say
things that aren't true. Do
you think 1 am too young to
keep company with a young
man? ELSA.
You are too young to keep COM
pany in the way your curious and
gossipiDg acquaintance mean. Too
young to be promised i'm marriage.
A girl of your age can have n sin
cere innocent friendship with a
young man, very enjoyable to
both. But to call it Excepting
company" or to say that you are
sweethearts is not justified by the
circumstances. OF course il YOU
are sweethearts and your mother
has consented to your cOurtship,
then you should not deny 1t, even
to the rude persons who pry into
your affairs.
Dear Miss Grey: Can you
tell me IL Florence LaBadie, the
star in the photoplay, THE
Million Dollar Mystery" is liv-
ing and where, also the same
information about Pearl White?
ANNA & SARAH.
Florence LaBadie died about
two months ago i'm Toronto.
Pearl White is with the Pathe
company, 20 West 45th st., New
York.
Dear Miss Grey: have a

be accepted for military service.

If he has enlisted and what
