When the German hordes were on us
when our boys went over There"
And the II. c. l. went skyward
and our envelopes were bare,
Were the postal men disgruntled
because the bills that were not met?
Eot We trusted Uncle Sammy.
.9w We ask, Does he forget"
When the wage OF working people
started rising every day,
When the call OF other bosses
Gnerod ease and greater pay,
Did the faithful in the service
Oa!t their jobs without regret?
80. they held,-and now we wonder
Does our Uncle Sam forget?
All We ask IS 20 be treated
Like all other department men,
with a wage 20 make us happy,
ANA a day Of row and then.
Hold on. brothers! II is coming,
Behind the cloud is sunshine yet
The day is dark and cold, and gloomy,

BEES HOUSED IN COTTAGES
Lithuanian Raisers ef Honey Furnish
Really Attractive Homes for
the Insects.

Beehives in Lithuania are not the
comfortable round igloolike huts that
G,e commonly used ia America. They
are built very much like the Lithu-
anian home, with slanting gable and
quaint doorway.
The cottages which they build are
considerably larger than The round
American hives. Double walls are
built 50 that protective warmth
may be kept in the hives and prevent
tie bees from freezing during the ex-
IRENE cold OF the long winters. Pine
wood is always used because il is sup
posed 10 be greater protection
against cold and because it IS the most
common tree in the forest lands OF the
country.
Ii is in the coloring of the hives that
the Lithuanian asserts his individual
ity. The life of the Lithuanian has
been starved of liberty and self-asseU-
ton during centuries. He has been
oppressed by Germans and he has
beer oppressed by RuSsians-not only
his ART ana his literature but even his
language has been suppressed.
During the years of oppression one
of the chief amusements and art me-
diums was the painting of hives. The
highest degree OF artistic beauty was
often realized. Color combinations of
originality and richness were strived
for. And it is notable that bee
farmer tried rs many different schemes
as possible. So us TO differentiate the
hives from one another.

REFUGE SPOTS FOR ELOPERS
Highly Desirable Places in
the Olden Time

Gretna Green. whose chief industry
was once matrimony. is a village in
Scotland less than mile from The
River Sark. which marks the English
Scottish boundary line in that vicin-
ity. near the Solway firth. The Eng
liSh marriage laws sent clipping
couples TO Scotland just as the divorce
laws of AZ of our states make Reno
desirable for would-be Divorces. and
~iherein lies Gretna Green's first claim
TO fame.
Fleet prison was the figuative
"Gretna Green" of England until the
passage of the famous Hardwicke act
of 1874. which made Unauthorized
marriages voidable. Gretna Green
thereupon becoming the romance spot
of the British isles. All the Scottish law
required was that two persons should
declare their intention to be married
i'm the presence of witnesses, and the
British law then. as now, recognizes
marriages as legal so long as they con-
formed to the laws in the places where
they were performed.
During the three decades when
Gretna Green flOurished, there were
more than 1000 marriages recorded
there. nearly 500 of which were per-
formed in 1865, the year before Scot
land enacted a law which made three
weeks residence a requisite TO mar
riage. Marriage by declaration is still
legal in Scotland.
