their widowed mother while they jeopardized
their lives in the service of the country.
Young Brennan's task was no less noble than
that of his soldier brothers. He also served his
country, even if his service was inconspicuous,
far from the firing line and not performed in the
uniform of his country. Next to fighting for the
republic the support of dependent mother is a
glorious task for any son.
The whole community cannot fail to take cog
nizance of the mysterious workings of Provid-
ence, by which the young man, humanity speaking
far from danger, was called to his reward, while
his two brothers, constantly in danger, were spar
ed for mothers love.
The mother in her grief may derive measure
of consolation from the fine spirit of her three
sons, who loved not only the flag of their country
but also the woman who trained them to become
good patriots and excellent sons. Such filial de-
votion to mother and such loyalty to the re-
public reflect the sound training which the moth
er gave her boys. Richmond may be proud of
both the mother who educated her sons to be-
come true men and of the three who proved
their manhood by deeds

ton Of the mighty work accomplished by the or
ganization. 1t is voicing its approval by renew
ing memberships and by adding members to

The Red Cross is one of the great institu-
tons of mercy of this day 1t has demonstrated
it's ability to cope with intricate problems in a
decisive and mastery manner. Soldiers and sail
ors who have had occasion to see it's operation in
practice one in voicing it's praise and extoling
it's administration.
Wayne county has taken an active part in
furthering it's work. The war work of Wayne
county is brilliantly reflected in the activities of
this organization and no history of the country's
part in the gigantic struggle will be complete
without comprehensive review of what the
members did to help alleviate suffering on the
battlefield and among the refugees, and to tighten
the burden of the soldier behind the firing line
The work of the Red Cross did not end with
the signing of the armistice but will be carried on
Tor many months until the wounds of the conflict
are healed and mankind has forgotten some of
the horror of the great war A sustaining inter-
est in the Red Cross should be one of the results
of the war.

too trickey for us. The Germans are
the trickiest people in the world.

in lady whose name he didn't catch.
During the fish course he saw a man

fore in a crooked business deal, and
he muttered to the lady furiously;
Do you see that man to the left
of the epergne? Well if there is one
man on earth I hate, it's him.
Why said the lady, he is my
