The reason why morale is necessary
in times of peace as we'll as in war is
that the morale of no army can be
higher than the individual morale of
the men, declares San Antonio Light.
Therefore the very best soldiers are
those recruited from civil life who
have every day morale-the men who
do things, who stand fearlessly for
what they believe to be right, who
are undismayed by opposition and ap-
parent defeat, and who accept life's
tribulations calmly, patiently and with
fortitude.
Men of that stripe cannot be STAN
peded or confused in military affairs,
once they have been trained as SOL
diers, just as in everyday life they
cannot be kept down by circumstances.
They are individually invincible and
hence when organized into an army,
they are militarily invincible.
Therefore when you read Of an army
or military unit with high morale
you know that the men in the ranks
and the officers over them are men of
strong dominant courage who meet
death calmly in the discharge of their
military duty and who cannot be rout-
ed nor overawed by the enemy, but
must be vanqushed, if at all, by fight
ing.

Those who have read Coopers novel,
1.-THE Pilot" will remember how the
American officer instructed his lady
love to communicate with him by little
flags of varied colors. Cooper, with a
novelist's freedom, made his charac-
ter apply a system which had already
been extensively experimental with in
the British and French navies. For
after much experimenting combina-
lions of flags of various shapes and
colors were gradually developed into
what we call "code" today. Prob
ably the most famous flag signal ever
flown was Nelson's at Trafalgar, but
1t required great number Of combina-
tons. of flags (hoists, they are tech
nically called) to spell out: England
expects that every man will do his
duty"

OLD FANEUIL HALL
Cradle Of American Liberty Is
Soon to Be Restored.
Boston Landmark, Erected in 174o, for
Scores of Years Afforded Place for
Patriotic Gatherings.

Faneuil hall is to be made fireproof,
also made over on the old model. New
York has an interest in the matter. 1t
was native of New York state, Peter
Faneuil, born in New Rochelle, who
built the hall and presented it to BOS-
ton in 174O. When he died three years
later it was the scene of memorial eX-
arcises in his honor. What glorious
patriotic meetings have been held in
the building and its reconstruct1ons
since that time; in the Revolutionary
war and all our wars, in abolition
times and whenever the times demand
ed that free speech should have utter
ance, observes the New York Sun.
No political campaign in the old
days was complete without mass meet
ings in Faneuil hall, on whose saw
dust-covered floor stood the democracy
to listen. to applaud and to show it's
displeasure. What wellspring of in
spiration the picture of Webster reply
ing to Hayne has been for two gen.
erations! The sight of that quaint
and homely building as one approach
es it in the hustle and tide of city life.
brings back the stirring scenes of Rev
dictionary days when it got its name
of the Cradle of American Liberty
Faneuil hail, with its market below
and meeting hall above, is to be re-
stored to the original fabric and de-
sign as well as may be, and to be made
as secure as possible against fire. In
1861 all but the shell was burned. Not
since then, we believe have the build
ing and its additions been seriously
threatened. Yet it has always been
deplorably combustible. Here is what
the finance commission has to say
about it.:
"In the basement the floor timbers
are unprotected. The refrigerator
rooms are packed with cork. The cork
and the unprotected timbers give an
opportunity for fire damage in this
part of the building. The windows
are of common glass with wooden
sashes and present danger from fire
ON the outside. Over the upper hall
there is a dumb waiter running from
the room used as kitchen which is
constructed of intlammable MATERIAL
And there is much more of the same
kind. 1t is a painful thought that
modern Boston has neglected the Cra-
die of American Liberty. Such, how
ever, seems to be the case.
What columns of grief and reminis-
cence there would have been if fire had
Quilted it and leveled it's walls. Big
Faneuil hall is to be saved for poster
ity now. Bravo, Boston! Has the
war walked you up to your duty? "1f
properly done" says report of the
society of architects, "the architectural
restoration proposed will make Of this
building a unique possession of the
city," Faneuil hall has always been
that. Guard it well.

PRESERVING Old Furniture.

Possessors of antique furniture
should devote regular attention to it.
and especially to any. of old oak-
which should be kept in condition by
periodical rubbings with flannel dipped
in mixture of beeswax, oil and spir-
its of turpentine. White painted
French furniture is best cleansed with
paraffin; and after old mahogany has
been gone over with a very little sweet
oil any spots or stains may usually be
worked off or blended into the wood
fiber by working an oxalic acid and
water dampened cork over the sur
face of the blemish. The brilliancy
of the gliding of old furniture. mir
ror frames and candelabra may nearly
always be speedily restored by being
sponged off with sulphur which has
been boiled for fifteen minutes in COM
pany with several bruised garlics, or
with a preparation of common salt,
alum and purified nitre, such as any
druggist will supply.

had to be raised. trained. armed,
clothed. fed and equipped with all the
supplies demanded by a war which has
turned every scientific invention to the
work of destruction. This necessitated
that the women fill the necessary
places men had formerly occupied and
also engage in the new industries war
requirements caused to spring into eX-
istence.
Lord Northcliffe says that the
women have done this work, in the
main, exactly as well as the men. They
have entirely displaced the men in the
operation of elevators, as clerks in
stores, banks. and insurance Offices and
as drummers. In their enthusiasm the
women attempted tasks beyond their
physical strength. but this was gradu-
ally corrected The fact that England
has been able to maintain its credit
and keep its exports at practically the
prewar figures Lord Northcliffe I'M
hesitatingly ascribes to the work of
the women.

To My
Satisfaction
ClTYPOINT.

The m ar who painted"The Spirit of TO ,
ellis name is Archibald NJ Willard.
He is eighty-one years old Some of the
best posters brought out by the world
war are adaptations of Mr.. Wizards
painting.
He had achieved popularity with
"Pluck," beloved of our fathers ard ia
miiar to our youthful gray-haired read
ers, when in 1876 the approach of the
Centennial celebration suggested a his
torical study. 1t was to have been what
was known then as a serio- comic: pic
ture founded upon MIR. Wizards remem-
brance Of the Grained bands of his
boyhood.
But he chose as model for his drummer
his father, a Vermonter with the heroic
lines of the granite hills in his face, and
as he painted he found growing upon the
canvas something very different from
his original design. Mr.. Wizards father
didn't live to see the picture completed,
but he was its real inspiration. Hugh
Mosher, fine old farmer, posed for the
fifer, and Harry Devereux, a son of the
late General Devereux, was model for
the drummer boy.
The picture was exhibited at the Cen
tennial as yankee Doodle" Hugh
Mosher, dropping in for look at it, was
recognized by the crowd and received an
ovation. Later, while on exhibition at
Boston, the pictures title was changed
to the now familiar one. General Dew
ereux bought it after it had been in the
Corcoran Gallery at Washington, and it
now hangs in Abbott Hall, Marblehead.
A replica which Mr.. Willard painted five
years ago may be seen in the city hall at
Cleveland, Mr.. Wizards home town.
The above is from recent ma gazine of
the Boston Sunday Post. A copy of the
picture, is hung in the Citypoint school
room, and it is coincidence that among
the pupils is little Hugh Mosher, who be-
gan his school life last fall during which
term the picture was presented to the
school.
Mrs j. W. Vaughan wrote recently
from Henniker, N. H., where she was
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Julia 1nnes,
that the latter was rapidly recovering her
usual health and that Henniker was a
very attractive town having many hand
some summer residences.

affirming the intention of the city to
put up a statue to eVrdi on the very
spot chosen by the hereditary enemy
On the following morning the demand
of Austria was received, but the coun-
Gil replied that it's decision already was
taken and that it could not be revoked.

Insure Good Results

If one is pressed for time good
showing can be made by keeping cooi
and quietly disposing of one task before
beginning another. Hurry and excite
nent will hinder any cause. But the
person who has mastered himself or
herseif-who remains calm under all
clrcumstances-is the man or woman
who does splendid work.
Learning to concentrate ones mind
upon the duty at hand is. indeed. an ef-
fort worth while Therefore. the girl

hours Of needless worry or excitement
should wisely keep her head-in other
words. give her best attention TO what
ever task confrorts her.
