JOSEPH QUINN .

VI uen America sent out oaI, .ol men to fight for the cause of de- mocracy Mr. and Mrs. William Quinn, of Great Neck, l.. l., re- sponded by giving their six sons. The mother who had borne and reared them might have demanded that at least one or two remain with her, but she gave them all without complaint, proud that they all were physically fit and able to do their share There was no waiting for the draft in the Quinn family, no claims for exemption, although there were several legitimate excuses to offer, chief among them being that Mir Quinn had brought up his sons to be skilled tillers of the soil. There was Joseph Quinn, who is married and the father of an infant son. No one would have blamed

Ringing speeches made last night by Gov. Ernest Lister of Washing ton and Edward B. King, the Illus trious Potentate of Afifi Temple, and the orator af the visiting Shriners, caused the packed audience in the Palace Theatre to rock the place with applause time and time again. The speech made by the Governor of Washington proved a delightful surprise to the audience and it was the first time that many present had ever heard him.
 MT. King in his four-minute speech complimented Alaskans on the show ing they made in supporting the war financially and otherwise and i'm pressed upon his hearers the fact that nothing less counted save the winning of the present war, no mat ter how great the sacrifice. He said that it was estimated that only 20 per cent of efficiency was put into practice by the average man, as illus trating what could be accomplished if every one would give the country the benefit of his full-power of ef- ficiency. He said that no American citizen could do too much to assist the war He said that it might seem like a far cry from Alaska to the front trenches on the Flanders front;

How to Lick Another Hun.

Oh, Thrift Stamp, Oh, Thrift Stamp,
 we know for what you stand, For airplanes and submarines and
 ships at our command; We buy you from our dealers and
 we buy you from our banks, To help to send our soldier boys to
 join the allies ranks. We love our great Republic, it is
 built on solid ground, We'll make a worlds democracy, the
 Thrift Stamps will go round And we will rout the Germans and
 we'll start better land, Where justice for each nation and
 love go hand in hand. So buy another Thrift Stamp, then
 buy another one, And know that when you lick a
 stamp, you've licked another

Fuel Order Explained.

House of Representatives, U. S.
Washington, D. c., June 5, 1918.
Editors Pleasantville Press:-
I have had a number of inquiries
with reference to the recent order of
the Fuel Administration to restrict
fuel consumption by private yachts,
and there seems to be some considera-
BILE doubt as to whether or not gaso-
lene driven boats are included in this
order.
The order states-"The term "pri-
vate yacht" shall, for the purposes of
this regulation, mean any nautical
craft not operated for profit which de
rives its motive power, either wholly
or in part, through the use of coal or
fuel OIL
Gasolene is not included in the term
"fuel oil'' and therefore gasolene mo-
tor boats are not covered by the reg
ulation. The only boats that are COW
cred by this regulation are those
which are not engaged in some com
mercial activity, and which burn coal
for fuel oil (kerosene, and other sim
liar heavy oils) for the generation of
motive power.
The use of coal and fuel oil for "gal-
ley" purposes is permitted on all
boats.
1 would appreciate it if you would
give publicity to this information so
that the many users of motor boats
in your vicinity may be set right as
to what this regulation covers.

Rev. E. F. Morris. Pastor.

Last Sunday was a record breaker
for our church. The hearts of the
old people were g~laddened and they
were made to feel once more that they
were not forgotten.
The Epworth League Cabinet held
their business meeting last Tuesday
night at the home of Mrs. Henry Davis
on Wright st. There was a large
number present and in the absence of
the president the pastor held the
chair. Much work of interest was
planned for the near future. They
will give a Strawberry Festival next
Tuesday night in the lecture room of
the church. Strawberries, Ice Cream
and cake will be in abundance. There
will be no admission and everyone is
invited.

10 a. M, Sunday School, with the
final rehearsal of the Children's Day

Oh. FIE!

A natty army officer of the swivel
chair corps" was escorting his red-lip-
ped, iris-eyed divinity down F street
in Washington recently. His boots
were cordovan of the very latest cut,
his spurs glistened in the sunlight, his
shoulder-bars cleaned like stars. He
certainly did look too sweet for any
thing. Coming up the street was a
fall chap whose face showed traces of
recent tan, and on whose left arm was
the V-stripe for six months foreign
service. As he passed the scented
dandy and his lady, he saluted with
the left hand. This gave Percival a
chance to show off his authority and
having noted in A. R. that only the
right hand should be used in saluting,
he proceeded to read the riot act to
the soldier. When the dainty creature
had quite worn himself out with his
verbal "over the top stuff, the soldier
right sleeve. Sir" he explained, Il
have recently been invalided home af-
ter losing my right arm in the trench
es at Toul, which is my reason for u.s.
ing the left hand to salute" And then
the color of that tender young safety
first officers face was what he himself
would probably have described as a
"bwieky we'd" His blue-eyed baby
was observed to drop his arm instan-

of his beloved child, but now every
thought of her brought back heart-aches,
pangs of sorrow that wounded his heart
and racked his BRAIN. No, she was his
daughter no more If he could only
bring himself to become oblivious of
her existence, if he could eradicate her
vision from past recollections, not to
bring her in association with reminis-
cences of his early married life, what a
relief it would be! He was bitter, in
consolable; life was of no value; he re-
GREETED that his paralytic stroke proved
not fatal.
At his home matters donned a new
aspect. 1t was saturated with the at
mosphere of Judaism; with the same
atmosphere that pervaded the home
when his first wife, Sarah, reigned over
it. Oh! if he had only continued along
the path indicated by her perhaps Min
ME would have been saved He was
justly punished for divesting himself of
his Judaistic garb and donning a neutral
cloak One cannot be Jew half-heart-
eddy All or nothing Deep religious
thought permeated him and he began to
find solace in religious peregrinations.
He became a regular attendant at the
Sabbath services and spent many hours
with Dr. Husch, who was a frequent
caller, discussing the future of Judaism
in America and formulating plans how
to keep the younger generation within
the folds of Judaism.
While Mrs Schloss felt a certain in
ward satisfaction at the turn of events
in for Minnio'c rria
cerned, her husbands illness weighed
upon her mind and she fervently prayed
for his recovery. His sudden return to
Judaism, to be sure, was not at all
palatable to her. Nevertheless, she
catered to him believing that as soon as
he would be restored to health, things
would revert to the old order. To please
him, she lighted her candles on Sabbath
eve, commenced to observe the dietary
laws and even induced Bernard to pray
every morning with the phylacteries on
his left arm and forehead, endeavOring
as far as possible to make him feel that
she sympathized with him and with his
ideas.
There was, however, one matter that
worried her to distraction. Immediately
after the elopement, Mr.. Singleton dis
pensed with her husbands services at
the store. To her, this blow was even
greater than her husbands illness. Be-
ing of an extravagant nature, she had
consumed all his earnings and having
laid nothing aside for a rainy day, was
threatened by want
Mrs. Schloss thought it advisable not
to show her husband in the state he
was in, the notification of discharge
which Mr.. Singleton had sent. She had
hopes that Mr.. Singleton, his first flush
of anger over, would relent and rein
state her husband to his former position.
But as the weeks passed and the hoped
for reinstatement came not, she decid-
ed to call upon her former employer. It
took, however, long time to carry out
her decision Her relations with Mr..

The season was less than month DID,
however, when another aspirant for the
mingled roses and pentential weeds of
Anatole Frances heroine appeared on the
scene. This was Miss Carmen Melis (whose
name should have justified her art), who
said that she wanted to show what she
could do with That's, and could not see why
the part should be held in trust by any
singer. Miss Garden disposed of the pre-
sumptuous newcomer in short order by in

obtained apology from her manager.
In the moment of Miss Gardens triumph
in the "Thais" affair members OF the jour

the gossips OF the press that Mr.. Hammer

"rhe New York Press" sent two reporters
to the manager who asked him if the story
was true. Mr.. Hammerstein elected them
from his Office and used language in letter
to the managing editor of the paper which
was highly reprehensble in him and highly
derogatory to the reporters. Thereupon
the two reporters, accompanied by their
