To "An AmiabIe Child"

A small monument reminiscent OF
old-time New York is often noted on
Riverside drive, near that somber me-
mortal, Grants tomb. The little stone
is inscribed "Erected to the Memory
of an Amiable Child" The touching
inscription has aroused much Curl
osity as to the unrecorded name of
the victim of an untimely fate.
New York city paper says that the
child was the son of George Pollock,
who owned a tract of land in this sec
ton in 1897. While this "amiable
child" was on fishing excursion with
his father at place called Fishing
Rock, short distance out in the rlv-
er, he fell overheard and was drown
ed The father wrote, in conveying
to another person the land where the
monument stands: "The surrounding
ground will fall into the hands of
know not whom, whose prejudices or
better taste may remove the monu-
ment and lay the inclosure open. You
will confer peculiar and interesting
favor upon me by allowing me to con-
vey the inclosure to you
keeping 1t, however, always inclosed
and sacred."-From the Outlook.

What Are the Requirements for the
Red Cross Nursing Service?
To be eligible for enrolment nurse
must be graduate of a recognized
school for nurses, giving at least two
years course of training In general
hospital. In states where registration
is provided for by law an applicant,
to be eligible for enrolment, must be
registered. She must be at least twen-
ty-One years of age.
What are the Physical Standards2
During the period of the war phys

Where do Red Cross Nurses Servef
Their service may be in this coun-
try or abroad. Service abroad Is not
guaranteed.
What is the Length of Service2
Red Cross nurses appointed for
service in the military establishment
during war are expected to remain as
long as the emergency lasts, unless the
need of their services ceases to exist.
They may, however. be relieved from
duty at any time in case of miscon-
duct, or should their services prove un-
satisfactory. The same ruling con-
cerning length of service and resigna-
ton applies also to nurses serving else
where with the Red Cross.
Must Nurses Pay Travelling Ex-
penses2
Travelling expenses are paid for
nurses travelling under orders from the
war and navy departments or the

beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore scar that he

served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers in August.
1914, he hastened to the recruiting
office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
its crop ready for harvest, full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
of horses, and wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1918 she succeeded, and
again in 1916, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed. the Indebtedness of the farm

stock, and the land ready for 1917

has asserted himself, claimed his

There are industries, of course, where
conditions are not all they ought to be,
but even here the same truth holds
good. However dOwntrOdden any
workman may consider himself in this
country, he is free man as compared
with the lower Industrial workers of
