PATRIOTIC AUNT JENNA.

Easter comes but once a Ear and of
course every one must have her new
Easter hats and clothes; so our old
cook had been saving all of her faith
'fu1 earnings to get her Easter outfit
and to be the star among the negroes.
The morning finally came and found
Aunt Jemima ready to welcome it. She
got on from her work for the day, as
she said, she must go to the quarter

saw her before she left and to be
sure she said, Else to be de star
mungst all de niggers." She had on
a pair of number eleven white shoes, a
full plated skirt of yellow lawn and
a red waist. OF course this, she said,
blended p~resactly." Her hat was
purple with a turquoise rose on one
SIDE and a bunch of ribbon on the
other. As it wasya chilly morning she
was compelled to wear her old green
sweater trimmed with pink. She had
borrowed all the false wigs from the
sisters who were unable to go and had
succeeded in getting a supply of brass
jeWelry, paint and powder.
Aunt Jemima was very frail, only
weighing three-hundred and fifty
pounds. She always strutted like a
pea cock on a sunshiney morning and
bouncing like a rubber ball, but on
this morning, she put on a few more
extra twists
At about six d'colck she returned
with two escorts, one on each side, and
Aunt Jemima about five inches the
tallest.
The Hoyt's German cologne was so
tstrong l am sure you could easily
smell it if they were within a mile.

IT IS COMING.

It is coming.
Not in my way, nor yours: not the
way the pacifsts dreamed and the in
ternationalists planned. but in Des-
tiny's own way
It is coming-the federation of the
world, the organization of humanity.
The nation is to be relegated to the
place reason assigns it, a secondary
place, subservient to humanity, as the
state of Illinois is subservient to the
United States OF America
This is the only way war can be
permanently stopped. For war is an
incident of progress. the penalty of
imperfect organization, the price of
disunion, the scourge of discord driving
the people to concord.
Nothing is so sluggish as the minds
Of men. When we spoke to them of
the need of world government they
looked at us glassy-eyed. they look
ed on us as crazy theorists. they
of war.
There's not much use telling a truth
to minds utterly unready for it. 1t
takes two to tell the truth.
But now Destiny is ploughing mems
! minds. The red claws of death, horror
and loss. are narrowing them.
A universal, horrific danger is con-
vincing men as no mouth eloquence
Lloyd George now urges a closer
unity among the allies. They must be
one. even as their enemy is one.
Newspapers, magazines, statesmen. all
who refused to listen to our cry of
world government at the outbreak of
the war. are becoming enthusiastic for
it now.
The league of nations is becoming
a reality. We are being forced into
the organization of the world.
What Hague conferences could not
do, what appeals to reason and COM
mon sense could not do. the German
government has done, by frightfulness
and menace.
The stubborn, hide-bound, tradition
fettered mind of the people, that re-
fused to believe there could be any
power above the single nation, or any
sentiment superior to patriotism, is
seeing now. when the knife is at the
worlds throat, that only in a league
OF nations is there refuge from the
horror of such mad nationalism as
Germany's, that above the power of
any one nation there must be the
| organized power of the world, that
above all nations is Humanity
It's coming! And it will be worth

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sunday. January 6.-Plans
for the care of American soldiers m
cIude a radical departure from former
methods of treating wounded. An an
nouncement made today by surgeon
General Bradley, says that method mas
been formulated assuring each case
continuous treatment from the dressing
station on the fighting line. through
MANY hands, to the base hospital.
This coordination has been worked
ont by DIR. j. M. T.. Finney of johns
Hopkins University. who has been ap-
pointed director of the surgery section.
1t does away with the more frequent
examination of wound dressings, which
has been the method in other armies.
Another departure is the sjtndafdi-
zation of splints. Heretofore every
surgeon even in the armies, Used
splints of his own devising, making a
great number of varieties. The British
army doctors have been so Impressed
with the American plan and the manual
explaining it that they asked and re-
ceived permission TO adopt 1t them
