NAW'S OBJECTIVE
GOES OFF TO WAR

With the announcement today that
graduations at West Point. earlier
than expected, will rob the football
team OF practically all its veteran
members, the objective Of the Naval
Academy in football for the season
Is about lost.
During the summer the Navy was
sure OF all its games. A full list
OF contests had been scheduled. Pros
poets for the best eleven ever de-
Veloped at the Naval Academy were
unusually bright.
No team in the country possesses
more veterans than did the Annap-
oils lads. Ingrah. Butler. Roberts.
and Mhelchel were all back and in
form for the campaign. But two
losses were recorded in line candi-
dates. Then the blow fell.
One by one the teams slated to
meet the Navy fell by the .wayside.

sTAR-sPANeLED BANNER.

Hanging from the walls of the Ma
tional Museum in Washington is one
of the most famous flags in the world
the "Star-Spangled Banner" that
f1oated over Fort McHenry during the
British attack in September, 1914. The
flag measures twenty-six by thirty-six
feet. In the battle Fort McHenry, just
outside of Baltimore, was in command
of Major George Armistead The gar
rison flag was made by Mrs. Mary
Pinkersgill, assisted by her daughter,
Mrs. Caroline T. Purdy.
In the battle one of the stars was
shot away by a British shell. After
the war the banner became the prop
erty of Major Armistead and was left
by him to his daughter, Mrs. Apple
ton. 1t was from the son of that lady,
Mr. Eben Appleton, that the museum
received it in 1912. The arrangement
is that the flag shall remain perma-
nently in the custody of the museum
and must not be permitted to leave
the building.
Time has somewhat marred the
beauty of the banner, but no Ameri.
can can look at the fading and worn
fabric without a thrill, for it is the
flag that gave birth to the national
anthem.

Who'll at all alivesto her best interests
should lose no time in ayailing herself
of these millinery lessons.
1t is not necessary to be a dress
maker or milliner,, but the young
woman who don't know a thing
about sewing" or who doesn't, tprac-
tice the little economies that mean SO
much to the average business girl,
faces life seriously handicapped. She
must indeed command very generous
salary, otherwise she simply cannot
compete in appearance with the girl
who knows how to help herself
1t is mistake to think that one
must always appear in silken frocks
if one would favorably impress ones
friends and business associates. The
average girl will look as smart in a
linen or crepe blouse fresh from the
laundry as she will in the Gressiest
kind Of a waist. Freshness and neat
ness are what counts in ones dress
not extravagant display.
The Indifferent person who gives no
thought to her appearance is indeed a
hopeless proposition. Such girls lose
the respect of their friends as well as
business superiors, and in the major
ity of instances are found where they
belong-in the ranks of the unem-
ployed. rhs Fcbo

REVERENCE FOR AGE,

We are all sometimes apt to forget
the respect which is due to those who
are older than ourselves. A beautiful
story, which, though old, may be new
to most of our young readers, Illus
trates this. While a public perform
ance was being held in Athens, an old
man entered the building too late to
secure a place suited to his age and
rank. Several young men, noticing
MS confusion, signaled to him that
they would make room for him where
they sat; but when he pushed his way
through the crowd to the spot, they
all sat close together to put him still
more i'll at ease. This was capital
joke, and created much mirth. Now
certain places were reserved at these
times for foreigners. When, there
fore, the poor old man drew near the
seats allotted to the Spartans, the oc-
cupants of them rose in a body, and
with the, utmost respect received him
in their midst. This display of Spar
tan virtue SO touched the Athenians
that they, greeted it with loud APP
planse, and the old man exclaimed,
THE Athenians know what is good,
but the Spartans practice it," S.

little lame Jake;
What a bootiful, bootiful, bootiful

And such a big slice! I'll save all the

And the sparrows they twittered as if

THE BIG WIND.

THE big wind" name given in
Ireland to a terrible windstorm which
began on the night of January g.,
1889. In Limerick, Galway and Ath-
lone hundreds of houses were blown
down, and hundreds more were burn
ed by the wind spreading the fires Of
those blown down. Dublin suffered
severely. No Irishman knows this
storm by any other name than 'the
big wind" THE night of the big
wind" forms an era: things date
from it; such and such thing hap
pened before the big wind, when 1
was a boy" or it happened "a twelve
month after the big wind, when your
Uncle Dennis was but a lad" The
use of the name seems a sort of sur
vival of oral tradition as opposed to
written history.

THE NEAT, METHoDIcAL GIRL.

A business girl who commands a
good salary does not, as rule, do
much in the way of cleaning, pressing
or renovating her clothes. Such young
women can afford to have this work
done. Yet the really level-headed girl
will, regardless of her salary, learn
to perform these very necessary tasks.
One never knows when one shall have
to economic, and it is we'll to be pre-
pared TO meet such an emergency.
Girls whose salaries are not over
generous should make it point to
economize in various ways Indeed,
every one should if they believe in

buttons or fresh, smart collar, make

lease of life. The dye soaps on the
market are really indispensable for
washing frocks or waists that haye

put up in various shades and are very
inexpensive and they will prove a boon
to the girl who must keep close track
of her salary.

The neat, methodical one is at all

Many a fine adjective has been
spoiled by being hooked up in some
facile phrase, to commonplace noun

Sun, have | encountered overt save in

her country was at war with their

left much to herself. And yet
One morning as she was walking
up and down the deck in her solitary
way she passed the steamer chair of
a middle-aged Englishwoman who
was knitting at gray wooden sock.
And suddenly she paused in her walk
and held out both of her hands
"Oh," she cried, in very good Eng

rows on that sock?'
The Englishwoman looked up, and
her face was cold and rather hard

scarcely want to knit on this sock.
For it is going to an English colonel

The little Austrian woman looked
at the colonel's lady. And there were
tears in her eyes.
Listen" she said in a low, shaking
voice, Il, myself, have son. He is
an officer in the Austrian army. But
if you knew my son l do not think
you would hate him. If 1 knew the
colonel, your husband, l do not think

paused for moment before she went
on, and then: Now that the world is

love in it. May l, perhaps,

Silently, but with tears in her own
eyes, the Englishwoman handed over

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.

In the struggle for existence
Fall the weak and stand the fittest;
Even they in time surrender
At the throne where mercy sitteth
For the God, Who watcheth over
Every little thing that groweth
Calls the spirit to his bosom
For what purpose best He knoweth.
So when the journeys ended,
Thro' this world of tears and sorrow
He who aids mankind in the world
today
Finds Gods reward tomorrow.

PUT OFF TOWN.

Did you ever go to Put Off Town,
Where the houses are old and tumble
down,
And everything tarries, and every
thing drags,
With dirty streets and people in rags?
On the Street of Slow lives old man
Wait,
And his two little boys named Linger
and Late,
With uncleaned hands and tousled
hair,
And naughty sister named Don't Care.
Did you ever go to Put Off Town
To play with the little girls Fret and
Frown?
Or go to the home of old man Wait,
And whistle for his boys to come to
the gate?.
To play all day on larry street,
Leaving your errands for other feet,
To stop or shirk or linger or frown,
Is the nearest way to 1PutNOff Town.
