The !ady in the case smiled and re-
turned the greetings. but when every
man in the two sections following
turned to her with a lively shouted
remark 1t was evident that she was
having some difficulty I'm understand

However. she was game. and con-
tinued to smile and wave until the
cause was discovered by one of those
friendly old souls VINO are generally
around at Just the right time. Her
eyes having been directed TO the
ground by a whispered remark from
this elderly lady, she made the rather
embarrassing discovery that the front

best to outrival the attractions Of the

Immediately a hard-earned position
in the front line of the crowd wds
vacated and a blushing young lady
was hurrying down Pennsylvania

Curiosity Is a curious thing.
There is a little booth down in front
of the old City Postoffice Building.

when apparently half the men who
were on that side Of the Avenue dur
ing the parade managed in passing to
get one for his coat lapel
When the parade was over and the
crowd was Dispensing, two Ialies
walked across the Avenue to see
what was in that booth. After they
had leaned over the railing that SIR
rounded the lower portion and mad
looked at the interior for a moment a
few more people came along and
stopped to look. Inside of two min

came out OF the Postoffice Building
and endeavored to disperse the crowd
by telling them that the booth was
empty. but without the slightest
success.
1t would not and did not break UP
until every person there had verified
by his own eyes the fact that there
was absolutely nothing in the booth
but a rather shabby green rug that
covered the floor.

Near Death for q Moment.
While only $50 feet above the ground
she lost for a moment control of her
machine. While such a situation is
not exceedingly dangerous when it oc-
ours at a height of 5000 feet, when it
happens at a lower altitude it is es-
pecially hazardous.
Two flights had been on her sched-
ule for the afternoon, but after she
had been ten minutes in the air the
machine nearly capsized when it was
close to the ground and after fortu-
nately righting it she descended and
called for her mechanic. Ellis Boyd.
The trouble was found to be oil in
the spark plug. causing it to fire i'm
properly.
This was promptly righted and she
+ascended into the air twice afterward
without mishap.
Her close-to-the- flights have
amazed the town and she is consid-
cred the most daring of fiers that
have ever been seen here. -

and all have work to do more important than throwing
mud at the president, w. II. Fuller, the MeAlester attof-
ny who addressed the republican editors at their Lincoln
memorial banquet Tuesday night, should have considered
that, and others who seek to make political capital Of the
nations troubles will do well TO bear Il in mind. That line
Of talk is going to become increasingly unpopular as the
war progresses. To make Lincoln's birthday the occasion
for such uttefances is something the great emancipation
would not have sanctioned, for he. as few others can,
realized the damage done by loose. tongued agitators at
home.
For the most part republicans have proven their pa
trioiism, and comparatively few, as time passes, will play
politics al the expense Of their country and their president

There is going to be little tolerance for deinagogues who
seek only flaws in the conduct Of the war, that they may
magnify and emphasize such faults as a means Of dis
a people sotely tried, and possibly winning a
palty office or two for their party.
Mr.. Fuller doesn't fear, he says, any charge Of lending
aid and comfort to the enemy by his attacks on the gov
eminent Of his country. Neither, 1t may be added, did a
certain pompadoured person whose name we no longer
mention. II Is not for us to question his courage, but his
judgment is weak. Candidates will rise or fall this year
largely on the basis Of their patriotism, and they cannot
prove that by yillification Of the president, nor obsIuc-
ton Of the war program. And that goes for democrats as
we'll as republicans. Mr.. Fuller says we need a republican
house, but makes a poor start toward getting it. We
certainly do not need personal attacks on the president

Illustrators urging new ventures in the chicken business

During most OF the season, poultry on a farm will pick

be waste material, and this is no time to waste anything
Besides, chickens have the advantage of attaining maturity
quickly, thus furnishing an increase in meat and meat sub

Food is a present and pressing need, and the part the

be made greater this year than ever before. Every farm
should be to some extent a chicken ranch, and some fowls
may even be grown in town and city to an advantage, The
cost of feed is high, TO be sure, but there is the suggestion
of raising chicken feed on vacant lots, which should help

A DIFFERENT LENTEN SEASON.

7 N this year has the same religious significance it
has always held to those whose creeds make much
of its observance; indeed, it may carry an even greater
meaning, for in these times of stress a devout people are
apt to give their religion even more serious consideration
than in the fat and easy days OF peace. But it is a diff
ierent Lent in this respect: the Lenten sacrifices of other
years seem trivial enough today. Different, too, because
nearly all, without regard to church affiliations or beliefs,
are sacrificing, and they know this period Of ~self-denial
will not end with Easter. But Easter, always a festival
OF hope and %gladness, should see us hopeful still. The faith
of mankind is varied, but the belief that right will triumph
is fairly universal, and with all its horror this war is
teaching to some who never knew before the sanctity Of
service for their fellow men. And that, after all, was an
important part in the teachings Of Him whose last days
